From the moment we stepped inside, we were impressed by this special Hotel that felt like being abroad. Every detail was beautifully designed, and we were able to relax. We spent a peaceful time together as a couple. The living room was spacious and even had karaoke. This time it was just the two of us, but it’s a Hotel we’d love to use with a larger group such as friends or our daughter’s family. We would definitely like to stay again.

I stayed for one night with a friend. We enjoyed cooking in the kitchen, knitting while watching dramas, and spending time at a relaxed pace surrounded by nature! The cabin was well-equipped with various utensils and seasonings, which was very convenient. Additionally, the distance from neighboring cabins allowed us to enjoy our stay without worrying about others. I would love to visit other SANU locations as well!

Our three-generation family of six stayed for two nights. The property was still new and spotless, with an ocean view and plenty of space—great for the kids to spread out, and relaxing for the adults as well. We had a very comfortable stay. It wasn’t too far from the airport, and there were lovely cafes nearby as well as American Village, which made it very convenient.

I stayed on a breakfast-only Plan. Since it was a solo trip I decided on suddenly two days before, I was disappointed that I couldn’t choose a Plan with dinner. Although I couldn’t have dinner, the breakfast was very delicious and I was completely satisfied. Above all, the owner of the Accommodation was very considerate in many ways, and I had a truly pleasant stay. Next time, I would definitely like to stay for the dinner as well. It was truly a wonderful Accommodation. Thank you very much for your hospitality.

With an amazing location where you can feel the ocean up close, we had a truly wonderful stay in a Room that reflects the owner’s attention to detail. Everything we needed was provided—tableware, cooking utensils, seasonings, coffee beans and brewing equipment, even a SodaStream and a water purifier—so our stay was very comfortable. The selection of dishes was also beautiful and made our meals look even better. Above all, we were soothed by the warm personalities and kindness of the owner couple. We have stayed in many places before, but this became the most special one of all. Thank you very much for taking such great care of us.

Everyone was incredibly kind and took great care of us. My grandchild ate too much pineapple we had brought with us, and their tongue started hurting, which caused quite a commotion. I thought drinking milk might help, so I asked if there was any, but there wasn’t. Since we had been drinking, we couldn’t go out to buy anything and were about to give up, but they kindly went out of their way to buy pudding and yogurt for us. We were truly grateful. Thanks to that, my grandchild’s pain seemed to ease and they calmed down. It’s rare to find a place that would do this much for guests. It’s the kind of place that makes you want to come back.

I stayed again over the weekend. Just like last time, everything was well provided, and the Facility was very clean. Clear instructions were prepared for how to use the appliances, and helpful labels were placed throughout, which made things easy. I would love to stay again!

The building, Room interiors, and furnishings are all exceptional. It was an unparalleled experience to touch and admire artistic plates and pitchers while enjoying a drink, as if viewing them through glass. The price is indeed in the high range, but it was absolutely worth it. The cuisine was also outstanding. The staff's deep knowledge of art and philosophy was truly inspiring and educational. Although I just returned, I already feel like visiting again. The Facility, including its location, is excellent. Highly recommended for those who love folk crafts. Thank you very much!

Ever since I discovered Shukabura on an accommodation booking site a few years ago, I had been dreaming of staying here someday. The owner couple are friendly and down-to-earth. With just the right sense of distance, they respected my privacy while offering thoughtful care that anticipated every need. Not only the beautiful hill scenery, but also their warmth is a major reason this place makes you want to “come back home” again. Every piece of villa decor was so lovely I wanted to photograph it, and finding the charming little items placed throughout felt like a treasure hunt. The compact interior had everything I needed, and as someone whose hair tends to explode in the morning, I was genuinely impressed that there were even two types of hair irons provided. The cosmetics and bath/hair care amenities also smelled wonderful—I ended up lingering in the bath longer than planned. The local ingredients prepared for breakfast were all surprisingly delicious, especially the vegetables. I couldn’t stop tasting them just to check doneness—and even bought extra vegetables at a local farmers’ market. As someone who enjoys cooking (not necessarily claiming I’m good at it), I loved making my own meals while admiring the stunning view from the living room, making time spent in the Room truly special. This trip was a solo journey for self-care made possible by warm support from those around me. During my stay there were many rainy or cloudy days and strong winds, so it might not be considered “good weather” in general. Even so, there were sights I could only experience because of these conditions: a rainbow after the rain; layered clouds drifting by; a sky changing moment by moment; wheat rippling in the wind; and white buckwheat flowers swaying gently. This stay reminded me once again that Biei’s charm isn’t limited to sunny days. This was my seventh visit to Biei. The colors of the hills, shades of the sky, shapes of clouds, and growing trees all look different each time—no matter how many times I come back over time, there is always something new that moves me. Next time, I’d love to visit Biei in midwinter—still unknown to me—and watch snowy scenery from Shukabura. Thank you very much for such a truly fulfilling stay for both body and mind.

We stayed for one night as a large group to celebrate my daughter's birthday. The moment we entered, we were greeted by an incredible ocean view and perfect weather—an absolutely stunning location! The accommodation featured a spacious living room, two bedrooms, a Japanese-style room, sauna, gym & karaoke room, pool, and rooftop. The furniture and decor were stylishly chosen, everything was spotless and well-maintained. The gym facilities were excellent, the karaoke room was spacious, and the pool was clean and so much fun! From the water dispenser to adorable tableware and amenities—everything was perfectly prepared! Even men's swimwear in the bathroom—it was such a thoughtful touch! Before our stay, they kindly provided information about nearby supermarkets and recommended shops. At checkout time, the staff personally came to greet us—they were truly wonderful. It turned out to be an amazing trip with absolutely no complaints at all. Thank you so much! Next time we hope to enjoy a multiple night stay!

The golden sea and sky at sunset were beyond words. We cooked our own meals in the in-room kitchen. Making dinner with local ingredients felt luxurious and relaxing in a way that’s different from dining at a restaurant. Best of all was the sauna with self löyly! We worked up a

The Room is very clean. There are delicious restaurants and a supermarket nearby. The surroundings are quiet, making this a very nice Accommodation. It’s also close to the beach and the Irabu Bridge, and the Room comes with a washing machine—perfect for guests who plan to go diving or enjoy other activities.

We stayed with our dog! The weather was stormy on the first day, but thanks to the thoughtful care of the staff, we were able to relax and enjoy a wonderful evening. By midnight, the rain and wind had stopped and we could even see a starry sky. Thank you for such a peaceful, unhurried stay! The sheep Mee-chan and Grandma were adorable too. Collecting eggs was fun, and thank you for the egg souvenirs as well! We could dine in a relaxed atmosphere, and the sukiyaki was delicious. I felt it was slightly lacking without rice, but I was very satisfied overall. The scenery gets 100 points! Thank you very much for taking such great care of us!

We stayed with two families (six people). The Facility was clean and well equipped, and we had a comfortable stay. We would love to stay again!

They kindly accommodated our last-minute request for a pickup. We enjoyed dinner in a calm private room. The seafood dishes were exceptionally fresh, served with restaurant-quality tableware and presentation. The entire property was spotless, and it was clear that the hostess and staff clean thoroughly without cutting corners. This well-reviewed Accommodation was warm, clean, and great value for money, so I highly recommend it. The cake was delicious as well. It made us want to visit again. Thank you very much.

This was our second stay with a friend’s family. Once again, we were completely satisfied. From the welcome drinks, you were also very considerate of the children. You even prepared the rice cooker we had talked about last year, so we were able to enjoy rice with whitebait in the morning. We look forward to staying again next summer for our third visit.

We visited as two families: 5 adults and 3 children. It was even more luxurious than it looked on the website, and everyone was thrilled! We had an amazing time enjoying a truly special getaway. The location has great views, and we didn’t have to worry about anyone around us. Unlimited sauna whenever we wanted, unlimited karaoke whenever we felt like singing, and we were able to spend wonderful private time together as a family. Unfortunately, the weather was bad so we couldn’t see the sunset at the moment it set, which was really disappointing. But the next morning it cleared up, and the kids relaxed in the hammocks you provided and worked up a sweat enjoying kite flying and badminton. If you plan for larger groups to stay, having a washer-dryer would be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much for your kind and thorough help when we thought our child might have forgotten something. We’ll work hard so we can come again next year.

My children really enjoyed it. We wanted to choose the outdoor BBQ Plan, but it was too cold so we decided not to. We’d like to stay again during summer vacation. Also, we forgot our child’s backpack and asked you to send it cash on delivery, but you sent it prepaid. It’s rare to find service like this, so we were very satisfied.

We stayed here after visiting Universal Studios Japan. 4 adults: 69,000 yen. No BBQ, breakfast only. Since the park was open past 10 pm, we arrived at 11 pm and basically just slept. The place was spacious and the heating was warm (there were three heaters, but we only needed one). It was also nice to have two sinks. A few small issues: we found hair on the bedding in two spots, and although there were four adults, there were only three coffee packets provided. (There were about ten packets of sugar and creamer… compared to just three coffees.) I also wish there had been tea bags. Not everyone drinks coffee, so it would be nice to have a drink option for both morning and night. As for breakfast, the hamburger was very filling—honestly a bit too heavy for older guests. Also, some people can’t eat meat, so it would be great to have non-meat options. The juice choice was apple juice only. Maybe because of the heating, the futons felt quite thin. We brought our own blankets, so it worked out. It was pitch-dark at night, but when we woke up in the morning, the view was beautiful. Overall we were satisfied. It felt like a waste to stay somewhere this nice just to sleep—next time we’d like to try the BBQ as well. Thank you very much.

This is a repeat stay. I believe this is the nicest Accommodation on Amami Oshima. The ocean is right in front of you, and you can even see sea turtles while snorkeling. You can also see the ocean from the bathtub, and there is a kitchen for self-catering. We will come again next year.
