concept / history
コンセプト・歴史
During 1960's through 70's,
people visited Wakasa Bay Area for beautiful sea bathing and for seafood. Fisherman released their houses as guest houses, Minshuku, and served food with fresh seafood, caught in Wakasa Sea. A family-like relationship between the landlord and the bather was born.
Eventually the sea bathing boom went down in a few decades, and the number of houses that has stopped, increased, one by one. Landlords got old and the culture of guest house, Minshuku which used to be run by every one, is almost disappearing.
Still, the people wish to keep the culture of the fishing village, living with the sea, to be connected to the future.
Sea Auberge Shitsumi wish to create the place where the fishing village and the sea to be connected to the region, together with customers.

environment
環境ついて（志積の海と海洋プラスチック）
Around the end of autumn, the tide changes and garbage rush from the sea, to the seaside which was beautiful during the summer,
Even if we pick up garbage every day, they cannot be cleaned up easily.
At the end of the spring, the tide changes and the garbage do not arrive any more.
Meanwhile,
Some beaches are similarly filled with garbage. Animals and people and the Nature, living on the shore, are suffering from large amount of garbage. Where in the world they came from.
They say there is a few hundred million tons of plastic garbage floating in oceans.
We would be appreciated if you realize these problems and start acting to “I want to change it” from “I don't know”.
