[Barrel Sauna Available (Extra Charge)] Modern-style Traditional House for Rent/Up to 8 People/Terrace with Roof Available/Tent Sauna Available
Welcome to [3Re: KEITA]! From a house without personality to a house with personality We remade an old house that had been left without any features. Re Origine (reuse what you can, don't destroy more than necessary) Re Make (reuse waste materials and give them new life) Re Meaning (Don't let them tell you there's nothing in the countryside) Based on the concept of the 3 Re's, we strive to create new value while cherishing rural roots. The concept of this facility is not just to renovate, but to remake while preserving the good qualities of old houses, to redefine their value, and to make them modern and comfortable. The facility is located at the foot of Mt. Ibuki in Maibara City, Shiga Prefecture. Enjoy a relaxing time feeling the blessings of the mountains and nature to your heart's content. We also rent BBQ grills and tent saunas, so you can enjoy an extraordinary experience while feeling at one with nature. * We may not be able to provide a tent sauna depending on availability. Please note that we are only able to lend it free of charge, and even if it cannot be used, we cannot change the amount.

Shodoshima, 30 seconds to the sea, you can see the sea from any room
This house is located on the quiet seaside of Shodoshima Town. It is a house built just to watch the sunset over the sea. Unfortunately, we have a lot of stairs on the terrace, so it's not barrier free. (I will do my best to help with your luggage, etc.) However, at the top of the high terrace, the calm and beautiful sea of Setouchi, sparkling with sunlight, and the changing faces of the crimson sunset await you every day. Please enjoy an extraordinary time and forget about the time. You enter the room by climbing the terrace stairs. It is not barrier free. Please be sure to have an adult accompany you when going up and down stairs with small children. Also, there are many stairs on rainy days, so it may be inconvenient. Also, the road in front of the inn is not paved. Please note that this may cause some inconvenience. There are many insects because there is a lot of nature around the house. Insects may enter when windows or doors are opened or closed. (Especially at night, insects gather in the light of the inn) We are very sorry, but please refrain from staying if you don't like insects.
