On this page, we will provide an overview of the guesthouse’s interior and facilities. We hope that by viewing this information, you can enhance your understanding of what to expect during your stay.
The building is a roughly 65-70-year-old (estimated) two-story traditional Japanese house. Originally, it was a cosmetics store that also served as a souvenir shop, selling products like SHISEIDO cosmetics. Judging from old photos, it seems they also sold camellia oil and other items. Some remnants of the cosmetics store, such as the dressing room and old Shiseido signs, were discovered during renovation. The camellia tree is closely related to Oshima, which may explain the Shiseido connection.
Let’s start with an introduction to the interior, beginning with the first floor, which serves as the main shared space. When you enter from the entrance, you’ll find a spacious open-floor area. This is a free space available for guests, where you can socialize with other guests and enjoy meals. It’s a tranquil setting, with the sounds of ships entering the harbor during the day, making it an ideal place for leisurely activities like reading.
There is one shared western-style toilet for both men and women.
We also have a spacious washbasin area with one shared hair dryer available.
On the floor of the bath is a unique tile pattern. We welcome all tile enthusiasts.We provide shampoo, conditioner, and body soap for your convenience.
This is a shared kitchen. It’s equipped with a gas stove, basic cooking utensils, dishes, and even a rice cooker, making it suitable for various cooking needs, like preparing a simple meal. We also have a refrigerator for storing ingredients and frozen food.
For those on long-term stays, we have a convenient washing machine available.We also provide detergent, so please let us know if you’d like to use it.
As you go up the stairs to the second floor, you’ll be greeted by a spacious hallway.The traditional design and the width of the hallway give it a distinctly Japanese ambiance.
There are two guest rooms, both with the same layout featuring an 8-tatami mat room. We have preserved the traditional fixtures, and you will sleep on futon bedding when you stay. We have soft and comfortable futons ready for your use.
One of the highlights here is the view of the streets of Habu Port from the guest rooms. Nothing more unusual than this view from above the town.
If you start writing by the window, you’ll be in full-blown literary mode in no time!
We provide hand towels, bath towels, and toothbrushes for all guests.
We also have Wi-Fi coverage throughout the entire facility, ensuring a comfortable experience for your computer work in your room.
During your stay, you can take it easy in Habu Port, spend a day fishing on the breakwater, or venture out to experience nature, as the secluded desert area is only about a 20-minute drive away. We also offer guided tours to places like Mt. Miharayama and the desert area, led by our accommodation’s host.
If you book both accommodation and a guided tour as a set, we offer discounts. We look forward to hearing from you and discussing the details.
