・Winner of the 2025 Good Design Award・
Niigata, Sado City — a private traditional Japanese farmhouse stay, limited to one group per day and fully reserved for your stay.
Sadomari -Izumi no ie-, designed by world-renowned architect Jun Watanabe, is a carefully restored traditional Japanese house on Sado Island.
Inspired by the island’s cultural heritage and the unique, non-ordinary atmosphere of a historic kominka, the concept is to “spend your off-travel time in a protected, peaceful place,” with thoughtful design down to the smallest detail.
The interior preserves original wooden beams and the main pillar of the traditional structure, offering both comfort and refined quality as a place to live.
Traditional buildings remaining on the property, such as an earthen storehouse and barn, add depth and richness to the stay, creating an authentic Japanese countryside experience.
Ideal for family trips and group travel with friends, as well as long-term stays for international guests visiting Japan.
《The Charm of Sado》
Sado Island is a remote island in the Sea of Japan, rich in both nature and history.
From the Sado Gold Mine, aiming for UNESCO World Heritage status, to satoyama landscapes where the endangered Japanese crested ibis (Toki) flies freely, crystal-clear seas, and vibrant seasonal food culture—Sado’s natural beauty remains deeply alive.
Away from the crowds of the city, Sado City offers a slow and relaxing “island time,” making it a highly regarded destination where travelers from around the world can discover the original landscape of Japan.
