National Park which, in turn, boasts its own Okayama International Villa on
Shiraishi Island. The warm yet spacious design of the villa complements the serenity
of life on the secluded island. Time spent exploring the traditional Japanese village,
traversing the island's mountains, or relaxing by the sea will bring you back to a quieter,
simpler time.
