Sounds of Nature: A Rural Retreat

Located on the Kunisaki Peninsula in Oita Prefecture, Tashibu-no-sho is an ancient rural estate that has lived in harmony with nature for over 1,200 years. You will hear the sound of wind through rice fields, birdsong, and the murmur of a flowing stream. Here, sound brings color to the silence and awakens the senses. At night, guided by faint starlight and moonlight, and take in peaceful views of the countryside. Enjoy an open-air dinner prepared with local ingredients, including rice grown on the estate.Take time to reconnect with nature and yourself.
