villa Morocco

Thank you very much for your interest in "Morocco". Morocco is a one-of-a-kind traditional Japanese guesthouse, carefully renovated by hand over approximately five months starting in June 2024. Originally built in 1975, this cozy single-story home was filled with tatami rooms and represented an old-style Japanese house. Interestingly, it wasn’t even listed as a "house for sale," but rather as "land for sale," with the assumption it would be demolished. However, when we stepped inside, we felt it still had life left in it. We were drawn to its compact yet charming appearance and decided to revive it as a guesthouse. The renovation went beyond surface-level fixes. We reinforced structural elements beneath the floors and added insulation above the ceiling—all to ensure a comfortable stay for our guests. The indoor garage was also created DIY-style by removing part of the Japanese room and exterior walls. Inside, we used two types of cream-like paint to create a layered look, and added sand to the mixture to give the walls an aged, weathered texture. Though newly renovated, the space feels as if it has existed for over 200 years. The wings painted on the wall? Yes, we DIY’d those too. Antique mirrors, doors, stained glass, and tiled tables bring a unique vibrancy to the space. Dried flowers arranged throughout the rooms bring calm and comfort to our guests. We warmly invite you to visit Morocco and experience its atmosphere in person. I was born in 1975—just like this house. I’ve lived in Nagasaki City all my life, and I currently share my home with my wife and two beloved toy poodles. I love dogs so much that I organize dog events in Nagasaki, including a Dog Festival at Mt. Inasa last year, which welcomed around 3,000 visitors. We are working to make Morocco a place where dogs can also feel at home. We look forward to welcoming you!

What we value most when welcoming our guests is "cleanliness." Even the most stylish place can be unpleasant if it feels unclean. On the other hand, a simple or older space that’s truly clean can make guests want to return. We believe many people feel the same way. At Morocco, we thoroughly clean everything by hand—from under the beds to faucet handles, door knobs, bathtub drains, and the toilet rim. While we are a pet-friendly guesthouse where dogs are welcome, we maintain a high level of cleanliness so that even guests who may not be comfortable around pets can enjoy a pleasant stay. The living room features a projector, allowing you to enjoy YouTube and Amazon Prime on a large screen using your personal Amazon account. We also provide a speaker and record player, so you can relax while listening to your favorite music. For guests staying with pets, we offer various items to ensure a comfortable experience for your dogs: toys, cages, male dog wraps, treats, pee pads, cushions, and more. We can accommodate up to 3 small dogs (around 10 kg each). For medium or larger dogs, please contact us in advance. We also provide high-quality amenities, including: Shampoo & Conditioner: MILBON Body Soap: THE PUBLIC ORGANIC Hand Soap: Aēsop Shower Head & Hair Dryer: ReFa Bath Salts: AYURA Other essentials like facial masks, skincare products (for men and women), shaving lotion, cotton pads, and combs are also available to make your stay as comfortable as possible. In March 2025, we installed a YA-MAN facial steamer. Feel free to use it after removing makeup or post-bath skincare. In the kitchen, we provide four types of flavored tea and delicious coffee, available free of charge.

Fresh Food & Daily Goods: Don Quijote (6-minute walk) Restaurants: Japanese cuisine (7-minute walk), conveyor belt sushi (5-minute drive), yakitori (10-minute walk) Morocco is located in Motomuragō, Togitsu Town, Nishisonogi District, right on the border with Nagasaki City. The surrounding area is convenient, with many supermarkets and restaurants nearby. One of our top recommendations is "Suisan Shokudō", a popular Japanese seafood restaurant located within the Nagasaki Fish Market. They serve incredibly fresh sashimi and seafood rice bowls, made with fish caught the same day. The restaurant has even been featured on TV! It’s about a 15-minute drive from Morocco. Another highlight is the Togitsu Waterfront Park, a lovely place to take a relaxing stroll while enjoying the view of the calm Omura Bay. There are many playgrounds for children, and it’s also perfect for walking your dog. In the winter, oyster huts open along the shoreline, offering seasonal seafood delights. It’s just a 5–6 minute drive from Morocco.
