Villa Shachihoko / Great experience of a traditional Japanese home

SHACHIHOKO is a private seaside villa located in Hatatsu-cho, Imari City, Saga Prefecture. Surrounded by the tranquil waters of Imari Bay, Iroha Island, and the surrounding mountains, it offers beautiful natural scenery throughout the seasons. This villa is based on a traditional fisherman’s house in a small fishing port, and we’ve blended the charm of Japanese craftsmanship with Moroccan influences to create a unique and inviting space. We take great care in maintaining the villa and cleaning it thoroughly to ensure that your stay is comfortable, embodying the spirit of ‘omotenashi’ (heartfelt hospitality).

Enjoy a special time with family and friends in this completely private accommodation.
