In Japanese culture, red embodies life force, good fortune, protection, beauty and tradition. Its presence in Shintoism, art, clothing, and nature, whether used in celebrations or as a symbol of spiritual power, red plays such a vital role in Japan’s cultural identity, being the heart of the Hinomaru flag. But the rushed life in the business metropole reduces us to standardized grey scales. At Vermillion Waves Retreat our aim is to whisk you away from the life of black and white choices. The deep red tones in this space are carefully chosen to create a joyful and luxurious ambiance that enhances relaxation and comfort. Located right on the beach, offering breathtaking views of the infinite blue tones of the ocean sometimes sparkling turquoise in the sun, this condominium is not just a place to stay—it’s an experience that will leave you feeling rejuvenated and inspired. Like a red *Omamori* protective talisman or the Bridal Kimono attire, the breathing Momiji autumn leaves or the winter-blooming red Camellias, we wish you that this divine energy replenishes your spirit for a lasting time. Red is also linked to the New Year, as *kadomatsu* (decorative pine arrangements) often incorporate red accents to bring good luck for the coming year. At Vermillion Waves you can experience the most amazing first sunrise of the year, rising up from the ocean right in front of you.

Vermillion Waves Retreat is hosted by a cosmopolitan group of designers dedicated to transforming this beautiful seaside area between Kamogawa and Tateyama into a vibrant and flourishing new resort destination of Japan. As part of our ongoing efforts, we are honored to sponsor the charming blooms of the Archelirion Enchanted Forest, located just in front of the property. Looking ahead, we are excited to announce the planned opening of a Rose Research Garden, just a pleasant four-minute walk from the retreat, scheduled for next year. In addition, the LARIMAR BLUE Lounge, an exclusive space for members, will also be available soon, offering a refined setting for relaxation and inspiration.

Closest Supermarket Odoya is at 1.6 km, closest Convenience Store Lawson is at 1.6 km. Kamogawa 🐋 Sea World is at 13 km. There's so much to do here. Stroll the almost empty and very clean beach all the way to the Godzilla rock, and come back on the pathway through in the Pinetrees of Archelirion Enchanted Forest situated right in front of the condominium along the beach, find it in Google Maps. You might get a glimpse of the elusive Elves caring for the flowers there! The Elves will not bite you unless you harm their flower babies so it should be very safe if you are well behaved! Walk only on the pathway to avoid walking on flowers that are not directly visible but growing up. Next you can hike the beautiful Bridal Road of Hanayome Kaido and see Mount Fuji at the top on a clear day. For more mundane entertainment you can visit the busy Kamogawa Sea World and enjoy the Killer Whale splashing water on you! There are so many other parks and entertaining places. Despite being in the countryside there is a delicious truly French restaurant " Cafe La Plage" just 30 minutes walk along the beach towards the Wadaura station. If you are into Sea foods, the same distance 1.7 km in the opposite direction you will find Kaneshichi Suisan, extremely delicious. All kind of whale meat dishes are very nicely prepared at the road station WA-O just 1.6 km from here. Unajin is even closer at 12 minutes walk! WADAPAN cafe is at 1.3 km 19 minutes on foot. Lunch and the best dinner in town is at Warafuku 2.5 km . And if you would like anything delivered to your room you need to plan in advance.
