Staying at SENT was like stepping into a dream woven from history, warmth, and the kindness of its host. We spent two tranquil nights in this lovingly restored kominka, where every beam and corner seemed to whisper stories of the past, yet the comfort and thoughtful amenities made us feel completely at home.
From the moment we arrived, the owner welcomed us as friends, sharing the history of the house and town, arranging details that turned our stay into pure magic. He helped us discover the flavors of Amayl next door for lunch, and both nights invited 稲米舎’s master chef, 上野誠広, to cook within the walls of the house.

Takumi was very kind and lent us his rods and showed us how to fish in the bay for free! What a wonderful person! I hope many people find their way to this peaceful place, full...
