It is not very suitable for lively tourist-oriented activities or short stays using trains and buses. On the other hand, for those who want to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city and stay like a local, or for those who want to travel in harmony with the local area and nature, I think it will be a memorable experience that more than makes up for the challenge of reaching this quiet place, despite the somewhat inconvenient access. We value our guests' privacy and time, and we deliberately do not provide excessive services. In return, please enjoy the quiet and atmosphere without being disturbed by anyone. We value "memorable tranquillity" more than convenience. ・ You can watch the sunset over the harbour from the terrace and the magnificent sunset from the shore. ・ In the garden, you can enjoy the four seasons, including barbecues and campfires, cherry blossoms in spring, and autumn leaves and persimmons in autumn. ・ With high-speed Wi-Fi, a washing machine with dryer, a workspace, and a home theatre, you can feel at ease even during long-term stays. ・ Take a rental bike to the beach, hot springs, or observation deck. We recommend buying uncommon ingredients in urban areas. * BBQs are allowed until 9 p.m. Parties are not allowed. The view is over the harbour, and it is not a full ocean view. There is an additional rental fee for the BBQ grill. If you are coming by public transportation, it will take a little longer to get here, We recommend a relaxing stay. (Discounts are available for consecutive nights) [Garden and surrounding environment] The surrounding mountains are home to many wild mamezakura cherry trees, which turn pink in the spring. The veranda overlooking the alley leading to the house has the atmosphere of the Showa era during the period of rapid economic growth. It feels like you've traveled back in time when you see people enjoying shaved ice and ice pops. The wood garden, where you can have a barbecue, has a hot water shower. It's convenient after swimming in the sea or enjoying water sports. In front of the inn is a quiet seaside lined with a harbour and shipyards. It's only a few dozen steps to the sea, but this area isn't suitable for fishing. Since the kitchen is not suitable for preparing fish that have been caught, we recommend nearby fishing lodges for those whose purpose is fishing. On the other hand, those who want to relax while enjoying the sound of the waves, the sea breeze, and the atmosphere of a port town can enjoy a pleasant time here. 【About the room】 ■ A fusion of tradition and innovation (floor plan) ・ The first floor features a Japanese-style living room that retains the charm of the Showa era, and a functional eat-in kitchen. ・ The second floor is a bedroom that feels like a secret hideout, created by renovating a former silkworm room (mezzanine). Lie down on the tatami mats, work in the dining room, or feel the breeze on the deck.

Other things to note (During your stay) This inn retains the atmosphere of an old private house and the local lifestyle while incorporating the latest facilities. Therefore, we have compiled a list of things to keep in mind to make your stay comfortable. ・ This facility is a renovated traditional old house and is not barrier-free. There are steep stairs, steps, wooden sashes, etc., so please be careful, especially for young children and the elderly. ・ There are no special facilities or services for infants, young children, or the elderly. Please bring your own if you need them. ・ For up to 4 people, we will provide a second floor bed unless otherwise requested. If you have small children or elderly people, we recommend requesting a futon on the ground floor for safety. ・ The second floor is a mezzanine structure that was common until the early Showa era, and the ceiling is low (about 1.7 m). Please be especially careful of your head near the stairs. ・ From spring to autumn, there are many insects due to the lush environment. Please be careful when opening windows and when having a BBQ outdoors. ・ On windy days, wooden sashes and glass may rattle. Please understand this is a characteristic of the building. ・ Nearby restaurants often close early or have irregular holidays. Your host will be there to keep you updated when you arrive and during your stay, and will help you with reservations if you need it. ・ There are supermarkets and drug stores nearby, but the selection is limited. We recommend pre-purchasing BBQ ingredients and ingredients for cooking in the city. (7-Eleven is a 9-minute walk, drug store is a 15-minute walk) ・ If you are interested in Izu's rural life and old private house renovation, we can provide room tours and explanations if you wish. [Important] About meals and food procurement (be sure to read) 1. There is no fishmonger (this is a real fishing village) Heda is a real fishing village that has not been turned into a tourist destination. Heda Bay, a natural harbor, is home to a variety of fishing boats, both large and small. There are no retailers (fishmongers) selling fresh fish in the town because of the culture of fish being "what you get from your neighbors (fishermen)" rather than "what you buy in the store". Therefore, if you want to enjoy fresh local fish, we highly recommend eating at the eateries and restaurants in town. (At check-in, we will introduce you to our favorite delicious restaurants) 2. Purchasing ingredients (for those planning to have a BBQ or cook for themselves) There are small supermarkets and convenience stores in town, but the selection is limited. If you are planning to cook or have a BBQ, please purchase ingredients in the city of Numazu or Mishima (large supermarkets) before coming. We hope that you will enjoy living in a remote area, including this "inconvenience". [Pre-booking confirmation] Sawaian is a place to enjoy the atmosphere of good old Japan. Please understand the following before making a reservation. ・ Keep quiet: It is a quiet port town. Please refrain from talking or making noise outdoors at night. ・ Distance from insects: Due to the natural environment, insects may disturb you depending on the season. Please understand that this is also part of "wild spring". ・ Sounds of old houses: Because it is a wooden building, it may rattle on windy days. Enjoy it as the breathing of the house.
