Living in Sado ~ Overnight Stay in Village Home (Small Village in the North)

In the northern part of Sado is Iwayaguchi village, a quiet village surrounded by the great outdoors: sea, mountain and river. It is a place where the natural scenery has been left untouched where you can experience a traditional way of life. Since you’ve come all the way to Sado, we invite you to experience normal island life as a true islander.
