3-minute walk to the sea! Fully renovated private old Japanese villa/2 bathrooms

Usual Resort Keyanz

Itoshima, now attracting worldwide attention.
In the seaside town of Keya in Itoshima City, a 90-year-old traditional Japanese house has been fully renovated to create Usual Resort Keyanz — a home filled with the warmth and aroma of wood.
The sea is just a 3-minute walk away, and the popular “Totoro Forest” is only a 10-minute walk from here.

About the House

Stylish, fully renovated traditional Japanese home (approx. 200㎡) with 7 rooms: 1 bedroom, 2 Japanese-style rooms, 2 Western-style rooms, a dining kitchen, and a loft. The entire main house is reserved exclusively for you.

Equipped with 2 bathrooms and 2 toilets—perfect for large groups.

Features a kamado (traditional stove) room and a loft for a taste of Japanese culture. You can cook delicious rice over the kamado (usage fee: ¥4,400 including tax).

The garden has been redesigned into a modern Japanese style with hedges and a chōzubachi (stone water basin). Relax on the engawa veranda while enjoying the soothing sound of water and lush greenery. The garden is also visible from the tatami rooms.

Maximum occupancy is 10 guests (not including children under 2).
