Sato-hami Minka
Miyazu City, Kyoto Pref.
This rare seaside residence overlooks the calm waters of Wakasa Bay along the Sea of Japan. It sits within an unusual residential area enclosed by its own breakwater, offering a distinct coastal setting. While the house itself dates to the postwar period, the presence of a kura storehouse suggests the site may have been established much earlier. Located between the scenic landmark of Amanohashidate (approx. 7.4 km) and the fishing village of Ine, famous for its unique boathouses (approx. 9.4 km), the property provides easy access to coastal and mountain tourism. Serving as a gateway to the inland Tango Peninsula, it is also well positioned for visiting hidden destinations such as the Seya Highlands and exploring the region’s renowned seafood. Daily shopping is available about 10 minutes away by car in Yosano, while central Kyoto and Osaka are reachable in roughly two hours by car.
