Our story

We are your hosts, Masako & Tatsuzo. During our extensive travels in New Zealand, we had a priceless time meeting new people from all over the world and were impressed with the style of hostels and lodges that we experienced there. When we returned to Japan, we were inspired to start a guesthouse of our own, incorporating some of the qualities that we value most, such as proximity to the ocean and nature, a clean and comfy  stay, and a family-oriented hosting environment.​

A Hand-Crafted Haven Nurtured with Love

Our accommodation began as a traditional Japanese house, slowly transformed by our own hands into an ideal getaway. From the bonfire pit and BBQ deck to our cozy "Sea Hut," every corner has been self-renovated to blend with the natural flowers and coastal breeze of Amakusa. We maintain the property daily with the same care one would give to raising a child.

Versatile Stays for Every Traveler Originally a backpackers' hostel, we now offer diverse styles to suit your journey:

  • Private Guesthouse: Ideal for families and groups.

  • Sea Hut: A simple, camp-style cabin to feel close to nature.

  • RV Sites: For those traveling with their own tents or campers.

Local Flavors & Warm Hospitality Enjoy dishes made with fresh vegetables from our garden and fish caught by the owner. Our family—including our friendly rescued "shop cats"—is here to welcome you.

Our place is a work in progress, constantly growing alongside our dreams. We invite you to experience our evolving sanctuary and hope your stay here becomes a cherished chapter in your travel story.

We look forward to meeting you.

Protected cat Shiro

Shiro

Welcome!

I’m Shiro, the eldest of our resident cats.

I’m a little bit shy at first, but once I get to know you, I’m quite the chatterbox.

I also love going for walks, taking naps, and of course, my favorite snack, "Churu"! Treats and gifts are always more than welcome!

I can't wait to greet you all when you arrive.

Protected cat Zaion

Zion

Hi there! I’m Zion.

I love interacting with guests and I’m obsessed with anything that moves—especially kayaks and mini-trucks! I’m always ready to greet you with lots of energy.

A little heads-up: I love vehicles so much that I might try to hop into your car, so please keep your doors closed! Also, please help me follow the rules by not letting me inside the guesthouse or the Sea Hut. I look forward to seeing you!
