Revitalising a 106-year-old historic inn and its storehouse: Mitsuhama Inn, a 188-square-metre traditional kominka with a Japanese moss garden and semi-open-air bath (available for one group per day)
┏━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┓ ◆ Limited to one group per day/private ~ long-established ryokan and warehouse experience-style stay ◆ ┗━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┛ ■ Location, History, Features ■ A long-established Japanese-style inn and restaurant (formerly the Kanaga Ryokan) in Mitsuhama, a port town in Matsuyama/Dogo, built 106 years ago and surrounded by four white-walled storehouses built in the Edo period and four gardens. It has been gradually renovated and revitalised (currently in the process of revitalisation), with whitewashed clay walls, natural Kenji-ji bamboo fences, and more.Originally an old house opened as an almost 100% inbound accommodation.We are conducting a semi open-air bath in the interior of the warehouse and renovation work centered around the water. ■ Soothing moss garden ■ There are three moss gardens: the front garden, the middle garden, and the back garden. Well water flows everywhere, including through a fountain, a basin, a stone basin, a stream between stepping stones, and a pond. The pond is home to koi, goldfish, medaka, tanago, and river prawns, and is a biotope space visited by wild birds. ■ Chick-in lounge (cafe/bar space), souvenir corner ■ You can drink authentic cocktails on the first floor of the main building.There is a souvenir corner with imported interior goods/accessories/natural stone, etc. from Japan, Bali, and other places.

Experience the ultimate relaxation in a semi-open-air bath while taking in the stunning ocean view.
It is a perfect location where you can see the island of God, where you can heal both physically and mentally. The sun rises to the moment, and the full moon lights up above the sea. You can walk to the beach in about 5 minutes. As there is no kitchen, we provide a griddle and a portable gas stove so that guests who wish to do so can have a BBQ on a table outdoors.Please prepare your own ingredients.If you want, we can also provide it here.Please use stoves and similar appliances outdoors only.The area is quiet, so please be mindful of noise, etc. The neighborhood is only a private house, so it is about a 10-minute drive to a nearby restaurant. Although the room is separated from my place of residence, I will be staying there. There is also a pool on the premises, so you can swim. Please note that there are many insects as there is a lot of nature around. It is about 40 minutes by car from Naha Airport.You can also come by bus, but we recommend renting a car. If you wish, I can also recommend convenient rental cars that can be picked up and returned at the airport. Children (junior high school students and below) are half price (special offer) Preschool children are generally free of charge, but if a futon is required, a child fee will be charged. Please note that guests are responsible for any damage to the facilities.
