Less than an hour away from Matsuyama City, Ehime Prefecture, is a rural town with a special topography of mountains right on the sea. Famous for having the best sunset in Japan, “Shimonada Station,” an unmanned station floating on the sea, attracts many tourists. With a population of about 3,000, this peaceful, beautiful, and lovely town is home to many fishermen and citrus farmers, as well as many stores that are a fusion of immigrants and long-established businesses.
A shop in a good location in front of the station, started by my great-grandparents over 65 years ago. We operate a Showa-era retro coffee shop (coffee shop & guest house) where you can stay overnight, with the hope of making the shop, which my grandparents have protected ever since, a place where smiling faces can gather, even in these times when the population is disappearing. We hope that you can use one bed in the dormitory like a shared house and enjoy interacting with grandparents, local people, and guests who come to visit. The sunsets are very beautiful and you can enjoy the blue sea and bright red sunsets every day from the large windows of the cafe and the rooftop.

I was able to spend an unexpectedly fulfilling 10 days experiencing various activities by the beautiful sea, eating delicious food, and surrounded by a lot of nature! The host family was incredibly kind and interesting, and I grew to love them a lot! I had a truly wonderful summer vacation that makes me want to visit again! Definitely planning to repeat the experience (*^^*)
