Wabi Sabi

Top choice in Izu Peninsula


An idyllic retreat enveloped by greenery but only five minutes' walk from Ōhama beach. The old Japanese house here perfectly embodies the wabi-sabi (beauty in imperfection) aesthetic and is expertly managed by Angela and Yasu, who also run nearby Tabi Tabi. Wabi Sabi has a large shared kitchen, a vegetarian cafe, tatami rooms and shared bathrooms in a peaceful setting.

Families and groups of four to five can also choose from two beautifully renovated rental cottages (from ¥25,000). Note that Wabi Sabi closes between October and April.
