About Minamikaze
Nothing here. That's the whole of it.
No convenience store, no nightlife. Only the sea, the wind, and the squall that sometimes arrives at dusk.
Even so, after three days most guests tell us they'd rather not leave.
The sea
Ten steps away.
The beach in front of the inn is shallow and calm. Snorkels and kayaks are free to borrow.
On summer nights most people walk out to the jetty to look at the stars.
