The facility was excellent, but there were issues with missing supplies and lack of management. - Despite being informed in advance that outdoor sandals would not be provided, they were available upon arrival after purchasing and bringing our own. - Water leakage from the air conditioner vent above the living room entrance. - Burnt-out light bulb in the living room floor lamp. - Poor drainage in the 2nd-floor bathroom, making it difficult to drain water smoothly. - No toilet paper or spare rolls in the 2nd-floor toilet. - Malfunctioning massage chair on the 2nd floor. - Complimentary water was stated as 500ml per person + one 2L bottle; however, for a group of four staying two nights, only eight 500ml bottles and one 2L bottle were provided. - No spare paper towels in the kitchen. - Insufficient towels provided overall. - Only a small amount of used olive oil available in the kitchen supplies. Attempts to contact via listed numbers resulted only in being told that confirmation with responsible staff would be needed without immediate answers—likely due to outsourcing management responsibilities—but stricter oversight is necessary as these issues inconvenience guests significantly.

It was helpful to stay at a low price. Former love hotel?? It had an unusual design.

It is a property where you can stay quietly. The mizutaki was delicious.

I expected there to be a bathtub because the photos showed one, so it was disappointing that there was only a shower. Other than that, the amenities were good, and there were also basic seasonings (soy sauce, salt and pepper, oil, sugar) and water. The coffee was delicious as well. It’s only a 30-second walk to the beach, so it was easy to go for a stroll. Apparently there are four buildings, and this is the only one without a bathtub.

We stayed at the accommodation for a three-generation trip, as it was strongly requested by our grandchild. We didn't see any other Japanese guests during our stay. If we were more fluent in English, it would have been an even more enjoyable experience. We had breakfast at the attached café in the morning. Both the accommodation and café were stylishly designed and lovely places to be. The shower room was clean, though there was no bathtub. However, as Japanese people, especially seniors, we do miss soaking in a bath.

We stayed for three nights during the summer holidays and were very satisfied. It’s in a quiet village, and the shallow beach is just a short walk away. The cleaning supplies were neatly stored and easy to use, which made me feel the owner really knows their way around housekeeping. There’s also an outdoor shower by the back entrance, so you can rinse off sand after the beach before going inside. The house had lots of thoughtful touches that made it very comfortable to stay in. Everything is very convenient to use, but there are no seasonings or cooking oil, so you’ll need to buy them at a supermarket. We’d like to stay again next year—so honestly I don’t want too many people to find out about it (haha)—but this Accommodation is highly recommended if you want to relax and fully enjoy Amami.

I have stayed at this Accommodation several times many years ago as well. The large public bath was excellent then too—spacious and clean, and it really helped relieve fatigue. This time, the Room had been renovated and was very clean, so I was able to relax and rest well. However, compared to before, the amenities and welcome drink were no longer provided, which was a bit disappointing. Other than that, I enjoyed the meals as they were delicious.

I’m satisfied and would be happy to stay again if I have the opportunity.

I stayed here to participate in a marathon, and it was very helpful. Fisherman’s Wharf is nearby, making it convenient for buying souvenirs. Thanks to the late check-out service, I was able to take a shower after the marathon, which I really appreciated. Next time, I’d like to stay here mainly for sightseeing. Thank you very much.

This is the Accommodation I always stay at for diving. After finishing a dive, you can return to your Room still in your swimsuit, which is very convenient. The service is more than adequate for an Accommodation attached to a dive shop. The Rooms are well cleaned and equipped with a bidet toilet seat, so it’s one of the island Accommodations where you can stay with peace of mind. However, prices have been rising year by year, and I’d be happy if the in-room Wi‑Fi signal strength and the quality of the breakfast buffet improved a bit.

This was my first stay, and it offered far more freedom than a Business Hotel with No Meals Included. The sunset over the sea in the evening was amazing! I enjoyed a blissful time sipping freshly brewed drip coffee. Great value—100 out of 100.

We stayed at UKAN on the BBQ course Plan. Check-in was at 3:00 PM, but they let us park from around 2:00 PM, so we could play in the sea right in front. There is a swimming beach next to the Accommodation, and it felt like it continued all the way to the front of where we stayed. It seemed safe to swim; there were quite a few people at the main beach, but right in front was quiet and mostly just for guests. The slope from sand to water is a bit steep, so small children may need extra attention, but it’s still fine to enjoy. There’s a breakwater at the edge of the swimming area where you can fish. That was our main purpose this time, and we were happy we got to enjoy fishing. The Room was generally clean. There was a stain left by previous guests that seemed to be removed around check-in time. We appreciated their effort to keep things clean, though it would have been even better if it had been finished before check-in. For the BBQ, the portions looked small based on how they were plated, so we went out to buy extra food at a convenience store—but in the end it was enough. Breakfast might feel a little light. The BBQ Facility includes a grill and table and is basically sufficient, but better lighting, table settings, and an improved BBQ area layout would likely increase satisfaction. As for insects, since it’s between mountains and the sea, I think it can’t really be helped. If you keep everything closed they generally don’t come in. However, because you go back and forth between the Room during BBQ time, some inevitably got inside. If insect control could be improved further, it would feel more reassuring. (I’m not too bothered by bugs, but my wife felt a bit uneasy.) The air conditioning in the Room was comfortable, but there was an odor in the washroom—maybe humidity or drainage—that bothered me. Overall we were satisfied despite these points. We’d like to stay again soon.

The view from the Room was wonderful. We had a clear view of Lake Ashi and Mt. Fuji. The view from the main building’s Onsen was also great. All the staff welcomed us with warm smiles and provided pleasant service. We would love to stay again.

I stayed for three nights and had a truly fulfilling time! Surrounded by nature, I enjoyed valuable experiences that are hard to come by in everyday life. The Accommodation had a warm atmosphere, and the owner was very kind, so I felt at ease and could relax. Breakfast and dinner were included, and both were generous portions! There was a wide variety of dishes, and every meal left me completely satisfied—dining was one of the highlights of my stay. Staying three nights allowed me to enjoy the Accommodation’s charm at a more leisurely pace, making it a wonderful memory. I would love to visit again if I have the chance. Thank you very much!

While the building is undeniably old, the staff at the Accommodation were very kind, and I was fully satisfied with my stay. It was a little disappointing that there was no refrigerator or tissue paper in the Room (there were plenty of pocket tissues at reception, so it was fine).

The ocean stretches out right in front of you, and the sunsets were so beautiful they felt truly cleansing. All of the staff were kind, making this a very comfortable Accommodation. Above all, the meals were delicious, and we enjoyed plenty of fresh seafood—an unforgettable, happy time. We’d love to come back again soon to relax.

I stayed here two years ago and was able to relax, so I chose this Accommodation again. I was able to relax this time as well, which is understandable given the current situation. However, the breakfast price increase felt a bit steep. Also, the hairbrush was small and difficult to use for people with thick hair.

It’s about a 20-minute drive to Takachiho Gorge, but we chose Kijiya because it’s an onsen Accommodation. We had reserved the first boat ride at Takachiho Gorge the next morning, so we stayed with dinner only. Dinner was delicious, with salt-grilled yamame trout, sashimi, tempura, and more. As expected, the onsen was wonderful. We checked out early in the morning, but it’s a great Accommodation where you can truly relax.

Thank you for your hospitality. We were completely satisfied with the staff's attentiveness, the scenery, and the meals. It was a trip with my elderly mother, and she was very pleased as well. We promised to stay here again when we travel to this area in the future. I don't know how many more years we can travel together, but I truly appreciate your help in making my mother happy. Thank you so much!
