The space of secrecy.
Namihara Secret
Namihara Secret
Completely surrounded, invisible from the outside
A secret petit resort in Minamiboso
Not just for staying, but also for shooting
Three reasons to stay at Namihara Secret
- 1 Above all, the relaxed atmosphere of being completely surrounded and unseen from the outside is delightful.
- 2 The sound of waves, the chirping of birds, the moon rising from the sea—things you won’t find in the city—are all here
- 3 Just a minute’s walk to an almost deserted surf spot, where you can have the sea and the waves all to yourself.
More than just three reasons to stay
- Despite being just 2 hours from the city, it feels like pure nature, deep countryside.
- A big fire pit for cozy bonfires.
- Plenty of space for a hearty barbecue.
- Yes, we have a well.
- A paradise for casting fishing—flounders, gobies, rockfish—all on the beach nearby.
- Be amazed by the sunrise over the sea (sunrise on the first day is a must), and of course, the moon also rises.
Recommended for
- Couples seeking a discreet getaway
- Surfer buddies, fishing pals
- Mom friends looking for a retreat
- Those who love flickering flames,
expansive seas, and blue skies - Brad Pitt and his family
- Also suitable for professional photo shoot by models.
