Great location

Guests who stayed here in the past year loved the location.
Some info has been automatically translated.
Stay in the memories of the town, not in a hotel.
This private rental located right next to Katsuura's shopping district is the perfect place to enjoy such moments.
The building, which appears to have been built in the early Showa era, was once a dried fish shop.
An entrance hall with a dirt floor, a slightly elevated living room, a steep staircase, and a second floor with a slight slope.
This newly renovated accommodation still retains the character unique to an old house.
Of course, the interior and bathrooms have been carefully renovated to ensure a comfortable stay.

Stroll through the morning market in the morning, wander around the port town in the afternoon, and unwind at a public bath or izakaya in the evening.
Recommended for those who want to enjoy a stay that goes beyond just sightseeing and offers a glimpse into life in Katsuura.
