Pure Japanese architecture/Tatami/Free parking/Bell dumbbell/Martial arts sandbag/Golf/Billiards/BBQ

Stay in this Japanese tatami style, stylish and unique, start a memorable trip. From Kurashiki Station, it is 2.5 km in a straight line.The property is on the very top of the hill.Before becoming a B&B, it was a small famous Beikang Yao Jia Village (Baguang Kiln), which still retains the kiln, and the high smoke window is also a scenic line.Going forward is the two small wooden doors close to the side of the road, a bit old.Entering the door and stepping under your feet is the floor before preparation, as it is precious only a small piece of space in front of the door.There is also a corridor in front of the side store and a part of the exterior wall.Because the overall structure is wooden, the doors and windows are also made of quaint kraft paper.The moment you go up the stairs into the room, it's a fluttered tatami scent.Very Japanese style.Dreaming into a different life on a tatami. Let's get to know each other, walk all the way, thank you for meeting, because you, the world has become colorful... With the existence of I Love Kurashiki B&B, I will strive to become that "bridge", connecting friends in and out of different areas in and out of the sea... A short escape from the hustle and bustle, and "hide" in I Love Kurama B&B, enjoy the tranquility of the body and mind, so that the body and mind can be vacated and suspended... If this can be brought to the people here, it will be the "bridge" that people have in their hearts to the passage, and go directly to the other side of the people... Who will be the next group? Is that you? We look forward to hosting🤝 you.... A person who opened a homestay with the dream of inheriting Chinese martial arts dreams.

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 allowing pets to stay. If you'd like some, 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 accommodation 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.

A.R. 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.

It is a creatively restored home surrounded by traditional garden and lush forest. While (supplied) electric-assisted bicycles are the best way to this ‘hideaway’ and from it to the Art Islands, it is hard to believe Ensoh is mere minutes from the local train station. If you seek nature, uniqueness, space, and beauty in your Japanese travels, it is here!
