Perfectly located for your Shikoku trip! A private rental with a breathtaking view of the Seto Inland Sea! Accommodates up to 6 people / 113 m² / Perfect for rejuvenating body and mind /
An inn where you have the Seto Inland Sea all to yourself right in front of you Welcome to Renovacation Shimizu-cho. I'm your host, Masamori Tanaka. This is an inn where you'll think, "Oh, this place is great," the moment you open the front door. The Seto Inland Sea stretches out before your eyes, and just gazing at the sea will relax your mind. In the morning, you wake up slowly to the sound of the waves, and in the evening, the sea gently turns red. It's not flashy, but time passes with unexpected moments that remain in your memory. The location is Niihama City, Ehime Prefecture. It is a town with a somewhat nostalgic atmosphere and warm people. Supermarkets and restaurants are also about 5-10 minutes away by car, so there are no inconveniences during your stay. Furthermore, it is a convenient location as a base for traveling around Shikoku, with popular spots such as Matsuyama and the Shimanami Kaido about an hour away by car, Kagawa and Kochi about an hour and a bit, and Tokushima about two hours away. Since the entire house is rented, you can relax without worrying about your surroundings. I hope you enjoy your time, whether you are with family, friends, or alone. I want it to be a place where you think, "This was nice." For hygiene reasons, there are no condiments provided.

A house overlooking the Seto Inland Sea
The ultimate hideaway to escape the noisy, busy city, and spend time quietly with family, loved ones, and close friends, just watching the sea. I created this accommodation because I wish there was a place like this. ☆This is not a hotel. We want you to think about how you want to spend your time. On sunny days, enjoy morning coffee on the large wooden deck. In the cold winter, warm up with a wood stove, and make and eat a delicious meal yourself. Play your favorite music, and read surrounded by books lining the walls. Take a walk to Gero Station while catching a glimpse of life in Gero. Fishing at sea, picking azaleas, bamboo shoots, and wild potatoes in the mountains, and eating them yourself. Long stays are recommended. Based at Shimonada Cabin, it is about an hour's drive to Matsuyama City. 2.5 hours to Shimanto River. 3 hours to Shikoku Karst. Shopping can be done in Iyo City or Nagahama Town, or you can buy from local fishmongers and greengrocers and cook for yourself. Of course, you can also eat at a nearby restaurant if you book. Anyway, I want you to relax at Shimonada Cabin. One night is too wasteful. I recommend at least 2 days. It is a place that can be enjoyed in good weather or bad.
