At "Kuroshio Farm," you can interact with mother and baby goats. The homemade honey produced by the warm-hearted owner through beekeeping is truly exquisite.

At “727 inlet,” the sunrise rising from the horizon where sea meets islands gently fills the room, creating a serene space where light and nature blend in quiet harmony. In the bathroom—where sea, sky, and breeze bring body and mind into one—you can listen to birdsong and rolling waves, unwinding as the view shifts moment by moment. At night, choose a bottle for the evening from the softly lit cellar; as you raise your glass, all you hear is the sound of waves. Escape the bustle and enjoy a calm, deeply satisfying stay.

In February 2023, Setouchi City opened "Tohito," a single-building rental Property on Mae Island, a remote island with a population of about 120 people off the coast of Ushimado. From this island, which stands in contrast to convenience, it offers "time to deeply reflect" along with the beautiful scenery created by human activities. Take a step away from daily life and feel the present moment with your loved ones or yourself. Treat yourself to a retreat, for you who work hard every day.

A town’s time and the lives of its people, shaped by living alongside swords. Hitokata no Accommodation “seppa” is a private rental Accommodation that welcomes guests who feel a connection to the sword culture rooted in this area and to the lives of swordsmiths and other craftsmen.“Seppa” is named after seppa—thin metal spacers that sit on both sides of the tsuba (hand guard), quietly yet securely fastening the blade and hilt together. They are almost invisible from the outside, but without them a sword cannot function as a sword.Like seppa, we hope this Accommodation will be here as a quiet presence that connects sword culture with everyday life in this town—and connects people with one another.
