If you want to experience and feel this unique Japanese atmosphere, Kawabe Family is the right host for you to stay with.

Kawabe House was built on the foot of a mountain 45 years ago with a mixture of Japanese and western style, although its garden and gate are pure Japanese style. Kawabe House is located in a quiet residential area filled with natural beauty of lush greenery. It is about a 4 minute walk from Inamuragasakistation and a 5 minute to the beach.
