The property is around 20 km from Kamitonda Concert Hall, 24 km from Shirahama Art Museum and 24 km from Kishu Museum of Art.

Heisogen Park is 24 km from the hostel, while Gobosogoundo Park is 26 km away. Nanki–Shirahama Airport is 23 km from the property. My stay at this charming B&B was nothing short of extraordinary. Nestled in the heart of the Japanese countryside, it offers an immersive experience that truly captures the essence of rural Japan. The location itself is a paradise. Surrounded by nature, with fresh air, blooming flowers, towering trees, and the melodic chirping of birds, it feels like a world away from the hustle and bustle of city life. The tranquility is palpable, and the peaceful atmosphere is perfect for anyone seeking a relaxing getaway. The room was a delightful blend of traditional Japanese style and modern comfort. The traditional Japanese room with a futon provided a unique and authentic experience, while the full range of modern amenities ensured that every need was met. What’s more, the price was incredibly affordable, making this a fantastic value for such a memorable stay. The owner, a local plum farmer and factory owner, added a personal touch to the experience. Their delicious plum products were a delightful treat and a testament to the region’s agricultural heritage. It was wonderful to support a local business and enjoy the fruits of their labor. Overall, this B&B is a hidden gem that offers an unforgettable experience. From the serene surroundings to the cozy accommodations and the warm hospitality, it’s a place I would highly recommend to anyone looking to explore the beauty of Japan’s countryside.
