Holiday rentals in Takehara

たけはら/One group per day, limited-edition Edo-period traditional Japanese-style inn

Takehara City is located along the sea between Kure and Onomichi. The inn is a two-story, detached house with a courtyard built in the Edo period, located in the center of the Takehara Townscape Preservation District (a nationally important preservation district for groups of traditional buildings), a 13-minute walk from JR Takehara Station and a 20-minute drive from Hiroshima Airport. There are almost no people in the morning and evening, and you can spend a quiet time as if you have traveled back in time to an Edo period town. The spacious free space on the second floor is a large space with luxurious ceiling beams and a view of the streets of the town from the windows. From the room facing the courtyard on the second floor, you can see Fumeyakaku, a landmark of Takehara. In a space that has been artistically renovated with organic materials, you can enjoy unique art in various places. The bath is particularly special, with a hand-made ceramic bathtub by a craftsman from Yamagata prefecture, painted by the artist owner. The walls are plastered with a round finish and have art by Horro. The floor is covered with vibrant blue tiles from Awaji Island. The walls are plastered with Hiroshima oyster shells. Different walls in each room. The floorboards are made of 100% hinoki cypress from Tamba Sasayama. The tamped earth floor, earthen walls, plastering, and floorboards are all finished in a warm, DIY space.

Osamijima, Shimanami Kaido. A large deck with a view of the sea and the sunset. Open-air bath with a view of the sea. Seaside retreat

This accommodation is limited to one group per day and allows you to enjoy the beauty of the many islands in the Seto Inland Sea and the sunset. Designed by the host, an architect who has won numerous awards overseas. Not extraordinary, but a "delicate life" with the theme of enriching everyday life. You can experience that kind of life here. There is a separate indoor bath from the Hinoki bath, but the view of Setouchi and the starry sky from the Goemon bath, heated with firewood, is the best. If you're lucky, you'll see artificial satellites and meteors. The water heated by firewood never gets cold. It warms you from the core of your body. The bedding is specially ordered from a long-established bedding manufacturer in Kyoto, and the bath invites you to relax your body and mind and sleep soundly. Most guests say they sleep well. During the day, you might want to spend some time in the lounge filled with houseplants. Enjoy the sunlight shining through the trees from the skylight. Here, the right answer is to do nothing and just be. How about emptying your mind? If you request at least a week before your stay, we can prepare local food from Oshima Island and seasonal food that we can get through a special route. If you wish, you can also dine at a counter made of pure cedar, similar to a traditional Japanese restaurant.

A rental property with stunning views of the sea and the bridge | Shizuka | Sauna available for an additional fee | Ideal base for exploring the Shimanami Kaido

こんにちは。 宿の目の前に広がるのは、瀬戸内海としまなみの橋。 朝は静かな海、日中はやわらかな風、そして夕方には海に沈む夕日。 時間の流れとともに、景色がゆっくり変わっていきます。 何もせずに外を眺めているだけで、 いつの間にか自分の感覚に意識が向いていく。 そんな時間が流れる場所です。 BBQはガスグリルを準備しております。 食材や飲み物は、島内のスーパー等でご用意ください。 外で火を囲みながら過ごす時間は、自然と会話もほどけていきます。 1日1組限定の一棟貸しなので、 周りを気にせず、それぞれのペースで過ごせます。 サウナ（別料金）もご用意しています。 体を温めて、外の風にあたる。 その繰り返しの中で、ふと「今ここにいる」感覚に気づく時間があります。 しまなみ海道の旅の中で、 少し立ち止まるような滞在をしたい方におすすめです。
