About Hayama

Between Sea and Mountain

Hayama is a small coastal town nestled between the sea and the hills. Despite its proximity to Tokyo, life here moves at a gentler pace.

Walking by the water, feeling the changing seasons, and living in close connection with nature remain an everyday part of life.

A Landscape Shaped by Daily Life

More than scenery


The appeal of Hayama extends beyond its scenery. It is a town where people continue to live closely connected to the natural environment.

Long-established local shops, independently owned businesses, and gathering places woven into everyday life create a sense of comfort and authenticity that is distinctly Hayama.

A Place That Has Long Inspired People

Cherished for generations


For generations, Hayama has been cherished as a place of rest and reflection. Home to the Imperial Family’s Hayama retreat residence, the area has long attracted artists, writers, and those drawn to life by the sea and a quieter rhythm of living.

Its natural beauty and relaxed atmosphere continue to shape the character of Hayama today.

Stay as Though You Lived Here

Not a base for sightseeing — a home from which to live.


Discover a favourite café. Walk along the shoreline. Enjoy local ingredients at your own table. Without filling every hour with plans, guests often find that some of the most memorable moments happen naturally.
