A private villa with ocean views, seamlessly integrated with the natural beauty of Kouri Island

YAWN YARD Kouri Island is an accommodation garden where you can blend with the wild nature of the Yanbaru region, experiencing the sea breeze passing through Kouri Island, Okinawa's strong sunlight, mysterious bird rhythms at night, and sudden squalls. When it gets hot, take a dip in the pool and relax freely by moving chairs or lamps to your favorite spot. Children are welcome to enjoy themselves energetically. Meals will be delivered to your Room so that guests can spend their time at their own pace. Enjoy family time and the pool at night, and wake up early for a visit to the nearby beach in the morning. Please have Kouri Island all to yourself in its tranquility.

  • Thanks to the warm smiles and hospitality of the staff, we were able to relax from the moment we arrived. We were impressed by how efficiently our meals were prepared. It was far, far better than in-room dining at a Hotel. The shabu-shabu and the morning sandwiches were outstanding. In a wonderful Room with views of Okinawa’s nature and the sea, our family was able to spend an amazing time together. Soaking in the bath at a leisurely pace while taking in the ocean, greenery, and birdsong left a lasting impression on us.We had been told there might be insects, but perhaps due to the strong wind and temperatures, we hardly saw any during our stay. If we have another chance, we would love to visit again. Thank you very much.

  • I chose this Accommodation at my mother’s request. They responded politely during our email exchange before the stay, and were kind throughout our visit.The Room design was stylish without being overdone, making it very comfortable. We could also tell that a lot of care had gone into the amenities and in-room items.It was cloudy for most of our stay, so we were disappointed not to enjoy the ocean view under clear skies or the stars at night as we had hoped, but it still became a wonderful memory.

Introduction of the Accommodation

Exterior

YAWN YARD is a "garden where you can stay overnight"

We have transformed new ways of relaxation, rooted in dialogue with the terrain and local people, into a "garden." What is a living space that blends naturally? What if we turn lifestyle aesthetics into a single chair? What if we cook using only ingredients visible from the garden? We don't force change. We don't embellish. With richness that looks far ahead, we shape those answers. Nice to meet you. Welcome to Akubi no Niwa (Akubi no Niwa).
