A training and accommodation facility that offers a panoramic view of the beautiful sea of Ushimado, called the "Aegean Sea of Japan." While the sound of the iconic "Carillon Bells" echoes, experiential programs are plentiful, such as marine activities like sailing and kayaking, stargazing, and outdoor cooking using fresh local ingredients. It is a perfect location for travelers who want to leave the city and spend quiet time looking at the many-island beauty of the Seto Inland Sea or seek a "learning trip" to deepen bonds with companions.
