Quan ~Japanese Room~ Private Sauna & Ocean View & Sunset from Terrace

From the room, you can see the sea that changes its expression every hour, and the sunset can be enjoyed by the sun. With the theme of ‘happiness not bound by economics or material possessions’, Quan aims to provide guests with a range of soothing experiences and inner peace throughout their stay, including sauna and bed spa sessions. During your stay, please feel free to chat with your host and let us know what you would like to do, while enjoying the beautiful sea views of Onna Village. Please also be sure to read the separate section (‘Other points to note’) when using the facilities. * Sauna is available for a separate fee. ✴︎ The photos of the entire accommodation are superficially connected, but you can enjoy your stay in [1 building rental] with a structure independent from the entrance of each room. ★ Precautions regarding children's accommodation (12 years old or younger) Because the facility is a wooden building, the sound is likely to resonate in the next room. There are no handrails on the stairs in the guest room. Please be careful as the balcony railing on the second floor is wide. In front of the terrace on the first floor, there is a cliff. Please be aware of this when booking accommodation for children under 12 years of age.
