We stayed at Kamogawa 919, a traditional house sauna Accommodation, as a group with friends. First of all, the atmosphere was stylish and welcoming. While preserving the charm of an old traditional home, it was also very clean and comfortable. The sauna we had been looking forward to was an authentic wood-fired sauna—something you rarely get to experience in central Tokyo. The gentle, enveloping heat unique to firewood felt wonderful, and being able to enjoy löyly ourselves was another highlight. After working up a good sweat, we relaxed outdoors while watching the beautiful sunset from the veranda. Listening to birdsong and feeling the natural breeze as we unwound was pure bliss—it instantly melted away everyday fatigue. In the evening, we cooked together using fresh local ingredients we had bought nearby and enjoyed a laid-back time with drinks in hand. Spending time chatting with like-minded friends was truly special—a luxurious experience you can’t easily find in the city. Surrounded by nature, we were able to fully enjoy the sauna, meals, and time with friends. It was an outstanding Accommodation that refreshed both body and mind. We’d love to stay again.

We stayed here to celebrate our wedding anniversary. We have stayed at many Accommodations throughout the whole country, and this was truly our number one—an Accommodation we sincerely want to return to. What impressed us most was the privacy that comes with renting an entire villa and the peaceful setting where we could relax without worrying about anyone around us. We spent a leisurely time by the pool, enjoying a luxurious moment where time seemed to slow down. In the evening, we invited friends who live on Ishigaki Island and enjoyed a barbecue. With perfect weather, watching the scenery shift from Ishigaki’s beautiful sunset to a sky full of stars is an unforgettable memory. It felt less like a Hotel stay and more like spending time in our own private luxury villa—an exceptional experience. The Room was spotless down to every detail, and the Facility, amenities, and even the selection of drinks in the refrigerator were excellent. It was high-quality yet comfortable, with thoughtful touches everywhere. At night, everything was wonderfully quiet, and we were able to fully relax both body and mind. Thanks to Gokkaiseitei, our anniversary became a truly special memory. For anyone who wants to spend an extraordinary time on Ishigaki Island or celebrate an important occasion with someone special, this is an Accommodation we can confidently recommend. Next time, we would love to book a Multiple Night Stay so we can savor this luxury even more slowly. Thank you very much.

We stayed here as a family of four with our two sons, and both of them (as well as us) were very happy and are already saying they want to come back.

The traditional red-tiled roof cottage provided a wonderful space. The washing machine and dryer were very convenient. We enjoyed strolling through the streets of Taketomi Island and, after watching the stunning sunset at Nishisanbashi on the complimentary bicycles, we were treated to a breathtaking starry sky with a clear view of the Milky Way. The breakfast was also incredibly delicious. Thank you for your heartfelt hospitality. Our visit to Taketomi Island as a couple after 10 years became an unforgettable memory.

We stay here every year during the Obon holidays. The atmosphere is calm, and everything is thoroughly cleaned, so it feels like coming back home (to my parents’ house). It’s truly relaxing. Thank you again for this year as well. We were able to do everything we had planned, right on schedule. There are popular roadside stations and beaches nearby, so the area gets crowded at this time of year, but Mihama House and its surroundings are very quiet and soothing. We could really unwind from the bottom of our hearts. We look forward to staying again next year.

We enjoyed everything in line with the concept: nature, architecture, interior design, and the slow passage of time.

I stayed for three nights at Building B, Jihacaya. In the end, Building B seemed to suit us best. We really enjoyed having coffee while watching the early morning sea on the spacious balcony, doing a bit of work in the morning, having tea while watching the sunset, continuing our drinks after returning from dinner. We also loved all of it: the kitchen space, washing machine, large bed with a view from the window, and bathtub with an ocean view from the window. We both said that it would be nice to stay here for about a week and have what is called a workation. As written in Property's concept, buildings are built to blend into nature and create a comforting scenery. Especially during this time before Okinawa's tourist season begins, it's perfect for escaping cold weather and stress. Since Hamabe no Chaya was closed during this period, we had breakfast at Yama no Chaya Rakusui instead but still enjoyed it very much. The staff welcomed us warmly and we were deeply moved by their hospitality. Thank you very much. We definitely want to visit again.

Thank you once again for your warm hospitality. I truly appreciate the kindness and care extended to me. It feels like a second home. I look forward to visiting again. Best regards!

We were able to propose in an extraordinary space with a wonderful view. Even the cups were made of Yachimun pottery, and we could really feel the love for Okinawa. The LINE messages before our stay were also very polite and kind. Thank you very much. We would love to stay again.

The entire property, inside and out, was very well cleaned. The Room was spotless. We were told the bed mattress had been upgraded, and it was extremely comfortable—I slept great. The Room also has high ceilings, and the air conditioning was very comfortable. The amenities were so plentiful we couldn’t use them all. The towels were great quality too. The small shelf next to the sink was especially helpful. Since we did laundry, having plenty of towels was perfect. There’s also a dryer—nothing to complain about. For cooking for yourself, everything you could need is provided! There were even items you don’t usually find at other Accommodations, so it felt like being at home. Thoughtful touches stood out as well, like a magnetic towel hanger. I’ve stayed in dozens of whole-house rentals, and the attention to detail in what’s provided here is outstanding. The outdoor pool was amazing too. Bugs didn’t bother us at all—in fact, it made us wonder if there are really this few bugs on Miyakojima. The location is excellent: close to downtown and also very convenient for Irabu Island, which we love. If I had to make a request: the body soap felt quite slippery and didn’t rinse off well, so it didn’t feel like I’d properly washed; and considering taking dishes poolside, it would be reassuring to have some unbreakable tableware as well. A full-length mirror would also be appreciated. Among the places I’ve stayed in Okinawa, this ranks right up there as one of the most comfortable (top one or two). We will definitely stay again!

The owner was incredibly kind, kept in touch frequently, and was very friendly and approachable! The villa itself was wonderful, and the view was amazing! We were able to relax and enjoy the island at a leisurely pace! We’d love to stay here again the next time we visit Ishigaki Island!

This is my second stay after being impressed by the Hotel’s facilities and the staff’s hospitality on my first visit! It has become an essential place for fully enjoying the charm of Taketomi Island. The West Pier is nearby, so you can quickly head out to watch the sunset. The meals were delicious, and the amenities were well stocked, making for a truly happy and relaxing stay. I’d love to come back again!

For this price, I was very satisfied with both the location and the Room. The beach is just a short walk from the Hotel. The views from the Room and the rooftop were wonderful. Rather than typical Hotel service, their hospitality was exceptional. I would definitely like to stay here again when I want to relax.

Perched on a hill overlooking Shibushi Bay, it has a wonderful atmosphere! The spacious Onsen was also very satisfying. Motorcycles can be parked safely under the roofed parking area in front of the entrance. The hospitality and service were excellent—nothing to complain about! We only used the breakfast option, but the carefully prepared dishes were delicious. However, with prices rising these days, I understand it can’t be helped, but there was no nori or jam anymore, so I hope they will bring them back. Of course, we’ll stay again next year!

We stayed here as three generations of our family. The Room was spacious, the view was wonderful, and we enjoyed a truly luxurious time. The balcony was especially pleasant—during the day we all enjoyed the pool, and at night we stargazed together. We had a truly luxurious stay. We would love to stay again.

We also arranged birthday surprise decorations and a cake for an additional fee! The ocean was nearby, the view was beautiful, and the Facility was spotless—everything was perfect! Thank you for making it an amazing trip and surprise.

A small, cozy Accommodation. The large bath felt private, so I used it twice at night and twice in the morning. You can also enjoy the Onsen in the in-room bath. My Reservation was for an 8-tatami Room, but I was given a 14-tatami corner Room. The door lock seemed to require a bit of a knack to open and close, so it took some effort at first. The Japanese-style room had both floor chairs and regular chairs, which made it comfortable to relax. The guest rooms are on the 3rd floor, meals are on the 2nd floor, and the large bath is on the 1st floor—everything requires using stairs.

I requested the Shuttle Service, and everyone was very kind, including on the phone. It was my first time trying lukewarm bathwater, but afterward my skin felt smooth and I stayed warm—it was a pleasant surprise. Dinner was delicious and far more than I could finish; I wished I had asked for a smaller portion. For breakfast, the miso soup and rice were especially good. The place had a comforting mix of nostalgia and warmth, and it was truly relaxing.

We were warmly welcomed even though we informed them of our late arrival. The room was spacious, bright, and had a clean atmosphere. Futons are self-service, so you set them up yourself. The TV is slightly small but sufficient for basic needs. The bath is not very large, but considering the number of rooms, it feels almost like a private Onsen experience—perfect for Onsen lovers! Amenities are well-prepared, making the stay very comfortable. However, one minor issue was the lingering smell on the haori likely worn by someone who smoked; if that were resolved, it would be perfect! I would definitely stay here again when visiting Sakata!

The Room’s interior, Facilities, size, and location were all excellent. I wish I could end my review there, but there was one very disappointing issue. On the morning of the third day (Saturday) of our two-night stay, I found a spider about 10 cm in diameter in the bathroom during a morning bath. The spider itself may have come in when opening or closing the door or windows, and given the natural surroundings—and since I noticed it right before checkout—it wasn’t a major problem. The real issue was what came next. Since new guests might be staying that day, and some people may dislike insects or small children might encounter it (it was large enough to surprise even me), I worried it could ruin their trip. I called the published phone number, but only reached an automated message saying it was outside business hours. I also checked the pre-stay email guidance but couldn’t find any emergency contact information. I understand this Accommodation operates differently from a Ryokan or Hotel, but for situations where guests need to contact someone immediately during their stay (it doesn’t have to be public), there should at least be an emergency contact number provided to guests. In this case, I hope housekeeping removed the spider so the next guests could stay comfortably. However, please recognize that not being able to resolve urgent issues smoothly by phone can potentially ruin a trip, and consider setting up proper emergency contact arrangements. As mentioned at the start, this is an excellent Facility overall—but this one drawback alone makes me hesitate to book again.
