Osamijima, Shimanami Kaido. A large deck with a view of the sea and the sunset. Open-air bath with a view of the sea. Seaside retreat

This accommodation is limited to one group per day and allows you to enjoy the beauty of the many islands in the Seto Inland Sea and the sunset. Designed by the host, an architect who has won numerous awards overseas. Not extraordinary, but a "delicate life" with the theme of enriching everyday life. You can experience that kind of life here. There is a separate indoor bath from the Hinoki bath, but the view of Setouchi and the starry sky from the Goemon bath, heated with firewood, is the best. If you're lucky, you'll see artificial satellites and meteors. The water heated by firewood never gets cold. It warms you from the core of your body. The bedding is specially ordered from a long-established bedding manufacturer in Kyoto, and the bath invites you to relax your body and mind and sleep soundly. Most guests say they sleep well. During the day, you might want to spend some time in the lounge filled with houseplants. Enjoy the sunlight shining through the trees from the skylight. Here, the right answer is to do nothing and just be. How about emptying your mind? If you request at least a week before your stay, we can prepare local food from Oshima Island and seasonal food that we can get through a special route. If you wish, you can also dine at a counter made of pure cedar, similar to a traditional Japanese restaurant.

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!!

A house overlooking the Seto Inland Sea

The ultimate hideaway to escape the noisy, busy city, and spend time quietly with family, loved ones, and close friends, just watching the sea. I created this accommodation because I wish there was a place like this. ☆This is not a hotel. We want you to think about how you want to spend your time. On sunny days, enjoy morning coffee on the large wooden deck. In the cold winter, warm up with a wood stove, and make and eat a delicious meal yourself. Play your favorite music, and read surrounded by books lining the walls. Take a walk to Gero Station while catching a glimpse of life in Gero. Fishing at sea, picking azaleas, bamboo shoots, and wild potatoes in the mountains, and eating them yourself. Long stays are recommended. Based at Shimonada Cabin, it is about an hour's drive to Matsuyama City. 2.5 hours to Shimanto River. 3 hours to Shikoku Karst. Shopping can be done in Iyo City or Nagahama Town, or you can buy from local fishmongers and greengrocers and cook for yourself. Of course, you can also eat at a nearby restaurant if you book. Anyway, I want you to relax at Shimonada Cabin. One night is too wasteful. I recommend at least 2 days. It is a place that can be enjoyed in good weather or bad.

Superhost
Large windows frame a stunning view of the tranquil blue sea and clear sky. The scene includes distant green islands and soft, white clouds reflecting on the water's surface, creating a serene atmosphere. A wooden table is visible in the foreground, complementing the natural surroundings.

AIR Villa Sanuki Tsuda [Setouchi Ocean Front Villa]

"Reset · Reborn · Restart" Described by people overseas as the "Aegean Sea of Japan", "With a beautiful view over a wide area, there is nothing better anywhere in the world" the Seto Inland Sea is so scenic that it is said to be the "Japanese Aegean Sea" by people from overseas. The 88 sacred sites of Shikoku, opened by Kobo Daishi Kukai, Shikoku is a place where the culture of hospitality, represented by the "Osettai" that surrounds it, is alive and well. Nowadays, I hear that many people come from abroad to seek the purpose of life and to heal their minds.   A culture of rich nature and hospitality. And a peaceful climate. The "healing" power generated from them is what fascinates people.   What you can do because of this place. Something that can only be done in this place.   Healing the mind, healing the body, We want to provide a time and space to pause and listen to your inner voice. I hope this place will help those who visit take the next step.
