Holiday houses in Tomonoura

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.

Stunning Seto Inland Sea Views in a Japanese House

Welcome to Nazuki, a private rental inn in the port town of Setouchi, "Konooura". Nazuki is located in the center of the tourist area of Shikanoura, and is a 2-minute walk to the biggest attraction in Shikanoura, "Tsuyuden". Konoura is a beautiful port town where history and nature are in harmony. The townscape and sightseeing spot "Tsuyuden" that has been around since the Edo period is within walking distance, and it is also known as a place related to Ryoma Sakamoto and the Kaien-tai. Also, the view of the Seto Inland Sea from the "Fukusenji Temple" on the hill is a must-see. After sightseeing, relax at the nearby day-use hot spring and feel the gentle Setouchi breeze while walking through the quiet townscape. We recommend starting with breakfast at a cafe on the hill, then strolling through the historic streets, having lunch at a local restaurant, and visiting the Ryoma Museum and Fuzanji Temple. In the evening, enjoy a meal made with local ingredients at the inn, and while gazing at the starry sky, enjoy an extraordinary and relaxing time in Chikuma Bay, where the Edo period is still very much alive.
