Facility introduction

Opening on August 7, 2025
Private Villa on the Hills of Wakaura – Located within the Japan Heritage Area

Set on a spacious 700㎡ property, this unique hideaway takes advantage of Wakaura’s natural elevation. Although the sea is within walking distance, only a few places in the area offer a safe and unobstructed ocean view—this villa is one of them.
Situated on a small hill at the height of a 4‑story building, the villa overlooks a serene garden and Wakaura Bay. The sound of wind chimes, birdsong, and the gentle sea breeze create a refreshing and peaceful atmosphere throughout your stay.

Notice

The cutoff time for check-in is 7:00 p.m. due to the distinct layout of the different areas on the premises, and we want to take the time to clarify the amenities and facilities to our guests so they can fully appreciate their experience. The garden terrace and baths are situated outside the rooms, the front desk is in a distinct wing, and multiple pathways exist throughout the grounds, necessitating that guests navigate the area.
We appreciate your cooperation in checking in during daylight hours.

The area is home to restaurants that only serve natural fish, which are very popular with locals, as well as multiple beaches, Tenmangu Shrine, the god of learning, Kishu Toshogu Shrine, Kimiidera Temple built in the 700s, a Wakaura Bay cruise on a fishing boat for a realistic experience, a mini hiking course from nearby Wakako Park to the observation deck on Mt. Takatsushi, Noh performances, art, kamaboko made from local fish, dried fish (half-dried), popular sweets shops, and more. The surrounding area is also home to many historical buildings and local specialty shops.

There are no convenience stores or supermarkets within walking distance, so it would be best to stock up before checking in.

It is also possible to rent the entire property, including other rooms.

If you wish to rent the entire premises, we can customize the plan to suit your needs. Please feel free to contact us for more information.

There are three buildings with four guest rooms on the premises.

As entrance and the garden terrace are currently under construction, we are offering discounted rates during the construction period.
(There will be no construction noise during your stay.)

This facility is in the VacationStay category.
When checking in, staff will greet you to explain the premises and facilities, but there will be no cleaning during your stay and we will be self-service. (Additional charges apply, 8,000 yen/time)
