Keyaki Apartment
Originally the owner’s home attached to the kimono factory, our Keyaki apartment is the premium accomodation at Asobi Lodge. Finished to the highest standards, offering space and comfort, while maintaining many features of traditional Japanese architecture. The space has been completely gutted and restored, with only the ceilings, and 2nd floor floorboards of the kura remaining original. The cavernous entranceway opens into a large kitchen with seating for up to 15 people. From the kitchen there is access to the lounge (complete with double sofa bed) and master bedroom (double bed) with ensuite bathroom. Further down the hallway is found the second bathroom and entrance to the kura. The kura has two floors, with a double bed on the first floor and three single beds on the second floor.

About the host
Hosted by Hamish Pidgeon

Hamish and Nora, from New Zealand and Australia. Two ex-pats who loved living in Kyoto city, until they found the Tango peninsula. After owning our house here for fourteen years, our feelings for the place have only grown stronger. When the opportunity arose to buy the adjoining property (now this lodge), we jumped at the chance. It has been a massive undertaking, but the results are spectacular!
Why they chose this property
Previously the main house attached to the loom factory, the apartment has been restored to the highest standards and is fully insulated, meaning it remains cool inside, even on the hottest August days, yet warm in winter. The large kitchen can accomodate up to 15 people, making it a great place to cater to your family or group. Plenty of room for all, meaning everyone can get involved in preparing meals. There is also plenty of space outside, for parking or playing. Asobi Lodge is the perfect place for a coastal holiday.
What makes this property unique
Asobi Lodge is located only 200 metres from the Japan Sea. 500 metres away is Kotobikihama beach, which offers beautiful squeaky sand (famous in Japan), and crystal clear water that is swimmable from May to November every year. A 20 minute walk along the beach will bring you to the free hot spring on the beach. That's right. FREE! Pure spring water is drawn from around 700 metres below the surface. You can enjoy a beautiful sunset from the pool. The perfect way to end a day!
