Shionoe, in Takamatsu City, Kagawa Prefecture, which is home to Shionoe Onsenkyō, is known as the “back parlor” of Takamatsu, a town nestled in the heart of the Akan Mountains and surrounded by the great outdoors at the foot of the Akan Mountains. It has been a beloved destination for many people, including cultural figures, since ancient times.
Shioe Onsenkyō, which is said to have been discovered by Gyogi about 1,300 years ago.
A healing space where you can get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life and return your mind and body to nature, while enjoying the natural scenery, the murmur of the river, the sound of the wind, the starlight, and the scent of the greenery.

A rental property in the middle of nature with large windows that connect to the deck, giving a sense of openness.
Based on the concept of “experiencing the greatness of nature,” the design makes use of wood and evokes a sense of simplicity.

The room is fully equipped with a kitchen featuring cookware, dishes, and a full set of appliances.
You can bring your own food to cook, or you can use the BBQ set (for a fee) if you rent it in advance.

On the deck terrace, enjoy a moment of meditation in the fresh air, listening to the babbling of the river below.

Also, the bathroom, with its full-length glass window, feels incredibly open, making it a place you'll want to visit again and again at any time of the day or night.

You can also experience the changing seasons, with cherry blossoms in spring, young leaves and fireflies in summer, autumn foliage in fall, and snowy landscapes in winter.
