This is a host-shared accommodation, so we would appreciate it if you could confirm this point before making a reservation. Also, this is a traditional old Japanese house with many gaps due to its unique construction and because it is adjacent to a mountain, we have implemented various countermeasures. However, it is still possible for cockroaches and ants to appear. Please take this into consideration. Please note that the room is located on the second floor, and therefore you will need to use the stairs. It would be appreciated if you could let me know the approximate time of your Check-In by the day before your Check-In.

Hi! We moved to this beautiful island on Shimanami Kaido as a couple in July 2024. Prior to that, we lived in Vietnam for several years and backpacked around the world (23 countries) about a year using Airbnb and other platforms. Many of my beautiful memories of my own travels were with my hosts. Not only Ikuchi Island, but also many other places and cultures in Japan, I can give you recommendations for your stay. Looking forward to hosting you!

Ikuchi Island is located in the Seto Inland Sea in Hiroshima Prefecture and is characterized by its mild climate and beautiful nature. Sightseeing highlights include the following: 1. Beautiful scenery of the Seto Inland Sea: The island faces the sea and offers spectacular seascapes and peaceful landscapes. 2. Cycling: The roads on the island are well maintained, making it an ideal place to enjoy cycling while feeling the breeze of the Seto Inland Sea. 3. Local food culture: Fresh seafood and local specialties unique to the island. 4. Ikuo Hirayama Museum of Art: This museum exhibits the works of renowned Japanese-style painter Ikuo Hirayama. 5. Kosanji temple: A place that combines aspects of a historical temple with art and architectural attractions. The entire island is peaceful and a place to relax and enjoy nature and art.
