Setouchi Life

I really enjoyed my time there. You get an authentic experience in such a beautiful area. The people I met there were amazing and so welcoming. I recommend anyone to visit the area and this place in particular.

If you’re thinking to stay 1 night, I don’t recommend it. Because there are so many things you must do. So much fun! Kurahashi Island, where this lovely guest house placed is very calm and peaceful. People on this island are friendly and very welcome. This stay is not for just sleeping. To enjoy and feel living on the island, this place stands. Let's have conversations with their staff members and other guests. If you want to do something, tell the staff members! They will give you some suggestions for you. I really recommend this guest house to feel like living on a Japanese island. You can eat great Okonomiyaki run by lovely grandma for lunch. When you got energy, go to the beautiful and calm Setouchi beach. You can go there by bus or pop into a rental car driven by staff. (You have to make sure there is a staff who can provide it. If you have a bit of luck, they will take you there) Let's go to SUP if you'd like. If you're tired, try Japanese Onsen you can reach it in 1 minute on your foot from the beach. They are very friendly and kind!! At the end of the day, you came home, then drink a secret Sake made here... You might see how they make Sake and feel it, with any lucks! That's what the stay feels like. That's why I'm telling you it isn't enough for just 1 night. There are so many kinds of stuff you should try. I'm sure you can experience the real Japanese culture and what's feeling like living in Japan, very countryside. It is a beautiful island...
