ABOUT

20 steps to the beach

The best thing about HESO is the private access to the sea from your doorstep. Across the garden, surrounded by Fukugi trees, a path through the Pandanus leads to the sand and water, only 20 steps away. A deserted island floating in a secluded cove. The colors of the sky and sea are ever-changing with the sunlight, creating a breathtaking work of natural art.

フクギに囲まれた庭から海へのプライベートアクセス。アダン小道を抜けるとたったの20歩でヤドカリがいる白い砂浜とウミガメも泳ぐコバルトブルーの美ら海が広がります。小さな入り江にぽつんと浮かぶ無人島。太陽の光の加減で刻々と移り変わる空と海の色。その景色はさながら”自然のシアター”です。




Living by the ocean

No matter how the times change, we are still part of nature and nature is essential to our lives. When you wake up in the morning and bathe in sunlight, your body clock is reset and your mind and body naturally get into rhythm. Spending time at the beach or in the forest is said to be not only pleasant, but also a panacea for body and mind, as it amplifies the happy hormone serotonin, improves sleep, increases motivation for activity and concentration, and increases metabolism. Walking on the beach in the morning sun in your pajamas with a cup of coffee is the most luxurious way to start a day.

どんなに時代が変わっても変わらないもの。それは人間は自然の一部であり、人間には自然が必要であるということ。朝起きて太陽の光を浴びると、体内時計がリセットされ、心も体も自然と本来のリズムに整います。朝日を浴びて、着の身着のまま、コーヒー片手に浜散歩。HESOならではの、最高に贅沢な1日の始まりです。





Do Nothing Time

“Feeling at home” and filling the five senses with good vibes. Siesta, reading on the beach, and soaking in the clear water and enjoying the waves whenever you feel like. Find your favorite place and give yourself some “Do Nothing time” which is a source of energy and inspiration.

家にいるようにくつろぎながら、五感をゆっくり満たす時間。ビーチで昼寝や読書をしたり、気が向いた時に泳いだり。海辺や森で過ごすことは、幸せホルモンであるセロトニンの増幅や睡眠改善など、ただ気持ちいいだけでなく心身にとっての万能薬と言われています。自然の中で、あえて”何もしないをする時間”が、元気とインスピレーションの源です。





Chill is the best spice

The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need, including dishes, cooking tools, and seasonings. BBQ and charcoal sets are also available for free rental. Even an ordinary meal is exceptional when eaten in the garden. Slowly flowing time is the best spice to make everything taste better.

キッチンには食器、調理器具、調味料など、必要なものは一通り揃っています。道の駅やファーマーズマーケットで新鮮な食材を買ってきて、自分好みの沖縄料理を堪能するのもおすすめです。また、『BBQセット/炭付き』も無料レンタルしていますので、庭でのBBQも気軽にお楽しみ頂けます。外で食べるごはんはまた格別。ゆっくりとした時間の流れがすべてを美味しくする最高のスパイスです。





The location & Environment

Surrounded by coral reefs, Okinawa is a tropical island blessed with a mild climate throughout the year, with an average annual temperature of 23°C and sea water temperatures never falling below 20°C even in midwinter. The subtropical climate, with annual precipitation exceeding 2,000 mm, has created a richly diverse biological system. Especially in Yanbaru in the northern part of the main island, rich evergreen forests cover the island, and the warm Kuroshio Current flows through the sea, which is as clear as that of a remote island.

サンゴ礁の海に囲まれた沖縄は年間の平均気温が23℃、海水温も真冬でも20℃を下回ることはなく、一年を通じて温暖な気候に恵まれたトロピカルアイランドです。年間降水量が2000ミリを超える亜熱帯気候により、多様性に富んだ生物体系を形成しています。特に本島北部の"やんばる"には、島を覆う豊かな常緑の森が広がり、暖流黒潮が流れる海は離島並みに透明度が高く、この地域特有の動植物や海、川、森とつながる生態系が今もなお保たれている世界的にも大変貴重な場所です。
