A standalone villa located in Setonaikai National Park. Featuring a boat-shaped sauna. ART.

💎 The SAND BEIGE website is now complete!! Search for "Kagawa Prefecture Sand Beige" What kind of adventures are you having? Adventure is one step ahead of everyday life. I stop the car, go through the tunnel, and my adventure begins. Adventure tourism is gaining attention as a natural and cultural experience tourism due to the global rise in nature and health orientation and sustainable awareness. The Oikushi Peninsula has the sculptural beauty of volcanic eruptions and powdery sandy beaches. 🧘🏼 The moment you step into the sand beige, you may choose an adventure of doing nothing. However, you will be healed by the emerald blue sea in front of you. ⌛️ It seems that walking on the sandy beach with bare feet will remove the electromagnetic waves of the body that are exposed to mobile phones, etc. It seems that modern children can also feel better when they play. ⛴️ Enter the sauna of the ship and experience the sea like the Finnish people! 🐠 3 seconds from the villa! Enjoy swimming, boating, supping, and fishing. (We are currently preparing to install a paddle board...) 🦀 The adventure of finding sea treasures in a secret cove will revive the spirit of exploration in both children and adults. Enjoy the adventure to your heart's content!!

Shodoshima, 30 seconds to the sea, you can see the sea from any room

This house is built on the quiet seaside in Shodoshima Town. The house was built just for dusk watching the sea and the sunset.Therefore, I apologize for the large number of stairs on the terrace, but I can never call it barrier-free.(I will do my best to help with my luggage, etc.) However, at the end of the high terrace, there is a glittering, calm and beautiful sea in Setouchi, and a kane-colored sunset that changes faces every day. Forget your time and enjoy the extraordinary. *We are currently not accepting pets for accommodation. If you would like to make a reservation, please contact us before booking. The interior is accessed by climbing the terrace stairs.It is not handicap accessible. Please be sure to accompany small children or adults when climbing up and down the stairs. Also, on rainy days, there are many stairs, so it may be inconvenient. The road in front of the inn is not paved. Please note that this may be an inconvenience. There is a lot of nature around the inn, so there are definitely insects.Sometimes insects come in together when opening and closing windows and doors.(Especially at night, insects gather in the light of the inn) We are very sorry, but please refrain from staying if you are not good with insects.

Have a special holiday! Villa Vacance Kyoto Kizawa (with jacuzzi and sauna) Turn your vacation into a vacation!

This unique accommodation has its own style. Newly built and opened in October 2023. The host lives in the management room on the first floor, but you can use the space almost as if you were renting the entire building. The entire second floor is private. In addition to the spacious living/dining/kitchen area centered around the Graph Tek island kitchen, the villa's most distinctive space, the Sky Terrace, features outdoor sofas, a sauna (available from 6:00 PM to 10:00 PM), a Jacuzzi, and a projector with a screen up to 100 inches for enjoying movies and more. In addition, there is a full-fledged BBQ grill made by the Canadian company Broil King (now Weber due to circumstances), so you can enjoy a barbecue at any time, and you can also enjoy it with a glamping feel. (It is better to prepare thick-cut steak for the BBQ grill rather than meat for yakiniku.) For sightseeing, it is very convenient, as it is located near the nearest JR Kizu Station, which is about 36 minutes by express train to Kyoto Station, about 60 minutes by express train to Osaka Station, and about 6 minutes by express train to Nara Station.
