Spend a leisurely stay in a quaint port town and reset with a digital detox
At Ryu-san’s House, a café and guesthouse in the quiet port town of Esaki in Hagi, we are offering a one-night, two-day experience limited to one group per day.
Step away from smartphones, computers, and other digital devices and reconnect with the world around you. Listen to the sound of the waves, breathe in the sea air, and enjoy a peaceful, unhurried time with your special someone.
This isn’t a trip for sightseeing. Instead, it’s a chance to slow down and simply enjoy the moment.
