Monthly Rentals in Shimada Island

The house reflects a traditional Japanese aesthetic and is located in a small, peaceful fishing hamlet. It offers non-Japanese visitors in particular an experiential glimpse into the everyday living environment of Japanese households from the post-WWII era, but with a few strategic updates that help ensure a restful stay. The kitchen is well-equipped and even includes a blender and seed grinder—rarities in Japan. There is an air conditioner/heater and an air purifier. There’s also a small yard and garden area where you can laze away the mornings over a cuppa and a good book. Anshang-sensei is a polite, professional, responsive, friendly, insightful, and helpful host and property manager. The property is strictly for guests staying there, and yet she seamlessly answers questions and helps solve problems as if she were right there with you. Wi-Fi is sufficient and stable. Were we to return to the island, we would stay here again. Thank you so much for hosting us!

it was a great experience in your house, we will visit again the house is all around by the farmland, it is so nice view, excellent for us who used to live in city

We had a fantastic stay at Shin’s place. Great value! Shin and his wife are incredibly helpful and friendly hosts who let us use two of their bikes for our mini pilgrimage to eight temples in the area and also gave us a ride to the train station at the end of our stay. We cooked breakfast in the little kitchen in the apartment and went out for several really good meals in the neighborhood. The hot showers were very nice and the heater worked well. It was super quiet at night. Highly recommend Shin’s place!

This historic Japanese house is a treasure. Mr and Mrs Shizuya were so friendly and generous. We stayed with them 5 years ago and loved returning to “home”. I came to study the indigo dying process and uncovered this gem. The host’s grandfather was an indigo dye grader. He kindly shared his story. They also shared vegetables from their garden. We felt so welcomed. This time I brought my Japanese sister with me. I want to come back.
