1. Scenery (Day / Sunset / Starry Night)

Daytime
Step out onto the balcony and listen to the crashing waves as you gaze at the vast ocean view. Checkout is at 11 AM, so you can relax and enjoy the scenery at your own pace.



Sunset
Sunsets are the highlight here. As the sun begins to set, the sky transforms in color. Whether you're in the living room, on the balcony, or lying on a bed with the shoji doors open, you can watch the sky turn fiery red. The indoor white walls and ceilings take on the sunset hues—an unforgettable moment. Sunset times: 19:18 at the summer solstice, 16:03 at the winter solstice. Please check in before sunset for the full experience.



Night
There’s no artificial light around. At night, a sky full of stars stretches over the sea. You may even spot satellites drifting silently or admire the moon reflecting off the water. Feel the cool night breeze on the balcony and soak in the starlit sky.


2. Architecture & Interior Design
The all-white, minimalist interior was designed to reflect the hues of the sunset. Furnishings are also white, with nothing to obstruct the view.


3. Bath, Sauna & Relaxation
Enjoy the ocean view from a spacious built-in bathtub.
 A private sauna is available, heated by far-infrared radiation at 65°C (single-user capacity).
 After warming your body, cool down on the secluded bath deck in a reclining chair, feeling the sea breeze against your skin.


4. Seasonal Experiences

Paragliding (April–November)
On windy days, paragliders often soar past the cliff in front of the villa, using the updraft to gain height. The silent flight over the ocean looks magical. Wave to the pilots—they might wave back.



Snow Falling on the Sea
From December to March, powdery snow quietly falls onto the sea. Watch it swirl outside the window, driven by coastal winds. The view becomes a blur of white—pure natural wonder—from the warm interior protected by double-pane windows.



Storms
Strong winds often sweep across the cliff. Though the windows may vibrate, the house is safe and well-built. Enjoy the force of nature as entertainment from inside.


5. Dining & Kitchen
Guests can cook their own meals here.
 Groceries are available from a nearby convenience store (3 min by car) and fresh seafood from Tanno Market (20 min).
