Shachihoko 海辺の一棟貸切ヴィラ しゃちほこ

Hello, I have a great passion for traveling and collecting charming folk art. In January 2024, we opened SHACHIHOKO, a lodging composed of unique items encountered during my travels. Located in the charming town of Hatazu in Imari City, surrounded by the beautiful landscapes of Iroha Island and the surrounding mountains, it's a quiet and lovely hidden gem. The inn is a carefully renovated traditional fisherman's house situated in a small fishing port. We have blended traditional Japanese style with adorable Moroccan goods to create a distinctive atmosphere. Enjoy a special moment surrounded by the pure sea breeze and nature, a unique experience not found in the city. Additionally, there are nearby attractions such as the pottery villages of Imari and Okawachiyama, Arita, and Huis Ten Bosch. If you have any questions or special requests, please feel free to let us know. We look forward to providing you with a comfortable and enjoyable stay.
