Kominka in Miyajima that warms the heart

"Guesthouse Shin" is located just off Miyajima's Machiya-dori Street.  As you pass through the entrance's curtain, you are greeted by a stylish bamboo wall reminiscent of a Kyoto tenya, guiding you through a courtyard with stepping stones.The courtyard also has a beautiful balance of white marble and moss, which plays a role in creating a calm atmosphere.Glass doors are arranged so that the courtyard can be seen from the living room.  It is a building that only guests can stay in through the garden, so there is no need to worry about anyone.From the outside, it looks like an ordinary private house, but once you step inside, it has a different atmosphere that leads to the charm of the inn.I heard that the previous owner had a long-standing passion for gardening and had a wide range of hobbies.However, as I mentioned at the beginning, I didn't intend to start an inn, so there are no bath facilities (there is a shower).However, you can use the nearby inn as an outdoor bath.The first floor is a living room, and the second floor has two adjoining Japanese-style rooms that serve as bedrooms, allowing up to 6 people to stay comfortably.  In the courtyard, there is a white stone paved with the word 'heart' in the middle.The name of the inn comes from a gardener who made it with a playful spirit in the past.They want to welcome guests with all their heart and hope that they can relax and enjoy their stay.
