SUNAO Retreat Okushirahama is a private retreat accommodation limited to one group per day, located in the peaceful satoyama countryside of Shirahama, Minamiboso, Chiba. Guests can enjoy the spacious natural surroundings entirely to themselves, making it an ideal stay for those who wish to spend quiet, relaxing time away from the city. The traditional Japanese house features a high ceiling, a long engawa veranda, Japanese-style futon rooms, a bedroom with beds, a shared living space, and a kids’ area. Surrounded by gentle light and fresh air, guests can step away from everyday life and enjoy a stay that refreshes both body and mind. Meals are prepared with care, featuring freshly made soft tofu from a local tofu shop and seasonal ingredients from Minamiboso. The seasonings, including miso and soy sauce, are handmade by the owner, with a focus on bringing out the natural flavors of each ingredient. Vegan and vegetarian meals are also available, making the property a comfortable choice for international guests. The bath offers a unique seaweed bathing experience using “kajime,” a type of seaweed traditionally found in the Minamiboso area. The mineral-rich amber-colored bath water is gentle on the skin and helps guests relax after a day of travel. If kajime cannot be harvested due to weather conditions, a natural herbal bath will be provided instead. During their stay, guests can enjoy a variety of nature-based experiences, such as bonfires, wood chopping, yoga, meditation, tent sauna, and nature walks. Depending on the season and weather, activities such as SUP, spa treatments, freshly made yuba tofu skin experiences, and okara pizza making may also be available. Surrounded by the sea, mountains, and open sky of Minamiboso, SUNAO Retreat Okushirahama offers more than just accommodation — it provides a memorable retreat experience.

Nearby attractions include Nojimazaki Lighthouse, the southernmost point of the Boso Peninsula, the beautiful Shirahama coastline, the clear waters of Nemoto Beach, and the historic Awa Shrine. This property is perfect for guests who wish to enjoy both seaside sightseeing and a peaceful stay in the countryside.
