A simple yet rich rural life that has continued since the Edo period!

Spend a relaxing time with friends around the Irori fireplace. You can enjoy the Goemon bath, kamado, and old-fashioned slow life while feeling the season with the wind and sky patterns (there is a cassette stove, IH heater, and shower). You can also cook with a wood stove and BBQ outdoors.  10 minutes by car from Izumo City Station. Izumo Taisha is 25 minutes away. There is also a hot spring nearby. The 20 tatami mat Japanese-style room is a private bedroom, and the kitchen and toilet are shared. There is a design office in the warehouse, and I work from 8:30 am to 6 pm on weekdays. You can also use the thatched cottage with a good view.  There is also air conditioning, but in the summer, if you open the veranda and hang a mosquito net, the summer night breeze will invite you to sleep comfortably. From spring to autumn, you can hear the nostalgic sounds of frogs, cicadas, and bell crickets.  If you are unfamiliar with charcoal or fire, I can help you if the timing is right. Firewood is free, but please bring your own BBQ charcoal if you use the sunken hearth. It is 1.6 km to the supermarket and 5 km to Izumo Station. It feels good to walk or jog along the Tanabe-michi Road and Kawato-te in the early morning. Please keep pets on the dirt floor. In July and August, please pick blueberries from the garden.

Stunning ocean view! Condominium type private rental!

This two-story condominium has a retro look that is somewhat nostalgic. As the name suggests, it is right in front of the sea, and you can access the famous Kotogahama Coast, famous for its "singing sand", in 0 minutes on foot. I used the villa for many years, but I wanted to share this view with the public. In front of you is the Kotogahama Coast, famous for its singing sand that makes a sound when you walk on it. A little further away, you can experience the World Heritage Site of the Iwami Ginzan Ruins, with its charming townscape and surrounding nature that will make you feel like you have traveled back in time. In addition, in a corner of the Iwami Ginzan Silver Mine, there is "Onsentsu Onsen", where you can feel the atmosphere and history of the city and nourish your mind and body.
