A place to call home,away from home.

AKARI is a private whole-house stay in Shimanto, Kochi, where mountains, river and sea are all close at hand.

Gather around the table, savour the stillness of the night and wake with the morning light. Discover the everyday side of Shimanto that lies beyond sightseeing.

02 STAY

WHOLE HOUSE, YOUR OWN PACE

Slow down.
Make the time your own.

Your own private house

A quiet space shared only with family or friends. Relax and settle in without worrying about anyone else.

A kitchen to gather in

Conversation comes naturally around the island kitchen. An evening cooking with local ingredients can become one of the best memories of your stay.

Experience Shimanto

The Shimanto River, fishing, surfing and yakatabune riverboats. Nature is close by, changing its character with every season.
