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.

8-minute walk to Dogo Onsen | Right in front of Dogo Park | Stay in a small 6-jo (approx. 10 m²) Japanese-style room as if you were at home
[The feelings I put into this room] Nice to meet you. I'm Kei, the host. When creating this room, the main thing I thought about was, "For those who have come to Japan, I want to create a room where people can experience Japanese culture, even if only a little." You sleep on the tatami mat with your own futon. Relaxing on cushions around a low table. It's a lifestyle that is second nature to Japanese people, and that's why I want you to experience it while you're travelling. To make your stay as comfortable as possible, the kitchen wallpaper, sink panels, We replaced the floor around the entrance one by one with our own hands. The floor at the entrance, in keeping with the location near Dogo Onsen, We have chosen a pattern inspired by the changing room of a traditional public bath. When travelling with small children, the mum is often the one who works the hardest. So, aiming for a room where women in particular can breathe a sigh of relief, We are also gradually improving the amenities. A room where you can relax while keeping the Japanese atmosphere of Dogo Onsen in mind. We hope you enjoy a "home-like stay" that is a little different from a hotel.
