'Villaze' is an abbreviation for the winds that flow through the villa. The villa is designed to take advantage of the natural surroundings, with the area being encircled by a lagoon and surrounded by cliffs. Because it is a rare terrain in the country, surrounded by a lagoon (inlet) that flows between Irabu Island and Shimoji Island, a refreshing breeze, considered one of the most pleasant in the world, circulates through the rooms. During high tide, you can hear the sounds of many fish entering and splashing around. It is said to be a miraculous location, surrounded by a natural lagoon with barely any buildings in sight. Time spent by the poolside is an extraordinary moment unique to this villa... At night, enjoy a sky filled with stars, and in the morning, wake to the chirping of birds and the splashing sounds of fish. Spend your time leisurely and freely.

Redwoods are the world's largest trees, exceeding 100 meters in height, and have long been cherished in the United States as 'God's trees.'Being treated as a natural monument, logging was prohibited, and at the time, only wind-fallen trees could be harvested (currently, both harvesting and transportation are completely banned).In the 1980s, Mr. Kamakura, the future innkeeper, organized a search team comprising local lumberjacks, hunters, and other forest specialists.They ventured deep into the dense forests of Sequoia National Park.After an almost month-long, arduous journey, they finally discovered a 1650-year-old redwood tree with a diameter of 5 meters that had fallen.Overcoming numerous challenges, it was transported to Japan and became the current REDWOOD INN.Features such as the 3.2-meter open-air bath, made entirely from a 75 cm beam and thick trunk, are incorporated throughout the inn.The building's design was inspired by the ranger station of the Grand Canyon's forest patrol, which has long protected the redwood forests. Please relax slowly within the annual rings of the year 1650.
