If you’re already set on visiting famous tourist destinations, this message is not for you.
But, if you’re looking to experience the lesser-known parts of Japan, keep reading!
This is a small fishing village with a population of about 500 people.
It’s not a tourist hotspot, but what it does have is the Japanese sea, mountains, and the locals who call it home.
2019, a guesthouse opened its doors here.
The rooms are either in an old, 100-year-old traditional Japanese house or in newly renovated ones,
complete with traditional Japanese tatami mats and futons.
In the lounge area, guests and locals gather for lively interaction.
Just a step outside, you’ll find fishing boats in the port and the beach is just a minute away.
The mountains, perfect for trekking, are close by as well.
The guesthouse also offers sea kayaking tours in the beautiful Japan Sea,
recognized as a national park and a geopark.
You can even get close to and enter sea caves and grottos.
And don’t worry if you’ve never kayaked before,
we have both 3-seater and 2-seater kayaks available.
A guide will accompany you and paddle alongside.
There are also pre-tour paddle operation lessons to ensure a comfortable experience.
There is no other place like this where you can interact with the local people and enjoy kayaking activities all in one place.
It’s still undiscovered, so now’s your chance.
