Winter on quiet Shodoshima.

Instead of rushing from one sightseeing spot to another,

you take a walk around the neighborhood,

stop by a local supermarket for ingredients,

cook slowly,

and sit still somewhere with a good view.

For this kind of “living-as-you-stay” island time,

we offer a single book that quietly stays by your side.

BOOK STAY (Honpaku) is a special accommodation plan created in collaboration

with TUG BOOKS, an independent bookstore on Shodoshima.

Based on your journey and state of mind, the owner of TUG BOOKS carefully selects books for you and includes a handwritten letter explaining the choice.

This is not about adding something new to your trip,

but about letting time slow down enough for a book to meet you.
