TADAIMA SHIMODA
A place where you don’t just visit — you’re welcomed back.
In many places, you are a visitor. In Shimoda, you are a neighbor.
“Tadaima” (I’m home) and “Okaeri” (Welcome back). These aren’t just Japanese words; they are the heartbeat of our community.
TADAIMA SHIMODA is a year-round initiative for those who seek more than a vacation. We bridge the gap between “traveler” and “local,” providing a place where you can live, work, and build friendships that last long after you leave.
Here, “Tadaima” isn’t a slogan. It’s what you hear when you return — because you belong.
How it works
- Belong, Don’t Just Visit Step inside the local life. Share meals, stories, and daily moments with the people of Shimoda.
- Work & Life Integrated A peaceful coastal environment designed for digital nomads and creators who want deep roots, not just fast Wi-Fi.
- A Door That’s Always Open Whether it’s your first time or your tenth, you’re not a guest. You’re someone we’ve been waiting for.
When you’re ready to stop being a visitor, there’s a place in Shimoda waiting for you.
Join us anytime.

Our Coliving: colorful ~TADAIMA elenanchi~
Beyond Borders, Right at Home.
At elenanchi, we believe that “home” exists beyond language and borders. This is a place where the distinction between “local” and “world” disappears, and we simply live as one global family.
You don’t need a specific language to belong here—just a heart that says “TADAIMA.” It’s a “home-base” for every global citizen to breathe, relax, and enjoy the flow of daily life together.
