My spouse and I stayed for one night while sightseeing around the Mikata Five Lakes. The Accommodation is on the shore of Lake Mikata, and the view from our Room was wonderful—the sunset was dazzling. Dinner featured a boat platter of sashimi that was more than enough for two, and it was fresh and delicious. The other dishes (corn sesame tofu, Wagyu beef, and a clam hot pot with salted butter, etc.) were also carefully prepared and beautifully seasoned, leaving us completely satisfied. Breakfast was delicious as well and very filling. It was also great to be able to see Lake Mikata from the bath. It’s just over a 10-minute drive to the Mikata Five Lakes Terrace, making this Accommodation highly recommended for trips to the Mikata Five Lakes or Wakasa Bay. We’d love to visit again during crab season someday.

Opened in March this year, this accommodation has been operating for just half a year. I discovered it through a friend's SNS post and decided to visit. Located on Oshima Island, part of the sacred route from Munakata Taisha's main shrine (Hetsu-miya: Munakata-san) to Okinoshima via Nakatsu-miya, the island is steeped in history as a World Heritage Site. On this day, we visited Hetsu-miya and then drove to Kami-no-Misaki Port in Munakata City to take the ferry "Oshima" to Oshima Port. We stayed as a couple in a glamping tent designed for four people. The dinner was so abundant that we couldn't finish it all—there was even wild boar meat served as an extra treat! We felt almost guilty about not being able to eat everything. Perched on top of a hill with stunning ocean views below... To the left, you can see Fukuoka City's artificial Island City "Kashii-Terihata" with its luxury tower apartments. Although it was cloudy that day, on clear days you might be able to spot PayPay Dome or Fukuoka Tower (we could faintly see Hilton Hotel). Within the facility, guests are transported by cart after parking their cars and can enjoy various options like buggies. This place feels so luxurious and special that I wondered if it's even appropriate to stay here on such sacred ground—it’s truly breathtaking. Near the ferry port is "Kansu Beach," which features a torii gate called "Yume no Sayojima" set in the sea; during low tide, you can walk across to this small island—a highlight of Oshima itself. While there are areas affected by landslides due to heavy rainstorms recently, I hope they recover soon. Honestly speaking, it's not very famous yet at this moment—but once it becomes well-known, reservations might become impossible! It’s such an incredible hidden gem that I almost wish it remains undiscovered by too many people. I will definitely return again someday. Thank you so much!!

A wonderful private rental Accommodation on Maejima Island, about a 5-minute ferry ride from Ushimado Port. The Room and Facility were spotless, and the bath offered spectacular views of the calm Seto Inland Sea and a beautiful sky. The meal was also excellent—super-fresh sashimi, plenty of small side dishes, and delicious grilled kama—with generous portions that left us completely full. Beautiful sunflowers were in full bloom on the island as well. It was a relaxing trip to Okayama. We’d love to visit again in spring or autumn. Thank you!

We stayed as a family of five for a birthday trip. The narrow path from the parking lot to Lapita Resort is a bit challenging, but the moment we opened the door and saw the breathtaking ocean view, we were amazed. Not only that, but there was also a spacious wooden deck with a pool about 60cm deep, which made our kids absolutely thrilled! At night, the area was beautifully lit up; however, this attracted an unusual number of beetles diving into the pool, making it quite an effort to remove them. The sauna was equipped with sauna suits and hats for everyone in our group, allowing us to enjoy it comfortably. There is also access to the coastline through another door; however, please be cautious as there are many sea insects in that area. Overall, every angle offered photo-worthy views and we had such a wonderful time. We would love to stay here again in the future. Thank you very much!

I stayed for one night in August. It’s a container house, but it’s comfortable inside with air conditioning, a refrigerator, a microwave, and a full unit bath. Because it’s a container, footsteps echoed quite a bit. Yuhina Beach is nearby, and the sunset is very beautiful. The staff were very kind; I asked to change the pickup time to the port on the day of arrival, and they happily accommodated my request. They also run a diving shop, so I’d like to try diving next time.

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.

We luxuriated in a warm bath with an ocean view while watching the sunset. We enjoyed Oki beef BBQ in a spacious Room. We were able to relax at our leisure.

Facing Miyuki Street, the surrounding area was easy to walk around. It was convenient to have a convenience store (Lawson) and the Shirahama Bus Center nearby. The unit bath includes a toilet with a bidet function. Wi‑Fi was available, but the signal showed only one bar. The door lock is secure, but it felt unusual to carry a standard key when going out. The Room was on the second floor, and there are only stairs, so please be careful if you have heavy luggage.

Used by a family of four. Since our children are small, we chose in-Room dining for dinner. Both the in-Room meal and the breakfast buffet were delicious. Our 2-year-old loved the kids’ area and played there for over two hours. There also seemed to be many guests who looked like government employees, and we hardly saw any foreign visitors. The only disappointments were that the futons were a bit thin, the mobile signal was weak, and the Wi-Fi connection was not very reliable.

The space was refined and simple, very clean, and extremely comfortable. The kids were very happy too! We only came back to sleep, so we couldn’t use the sauna—unfortunately. We visited in summer for a Multiple Night Stay, but the weather was bad and the temperature was low, so the indoor temperature didn’t rise much. Since everything is connected through an open atrium and the beams are exposed, I wonder about how well it maintains indoor temperatures in both summer and winter. Also, the bathroom had only amenities, a shower, and a bathtub, so I would have liked at least one wash basin. It felt like an overseas Hotel. And because it was a Multiple Night Stay, I also wished there had been something like a small sponge to do a bit of cleaning in the bathroom. I wrote down these requests as well, but it was a quiet place and only about 30 minutes from central Sendai. If I have another chance, I’d love to stay again at a more relaxed pace. Thank you!!!

I stayed here while attending a live show in Naha and revisiting the northern area I had been to long ago. Nearby there are fields, and beyond them you can see the sea—the sunset was beautiful. Before long, the evening star appeared, and the stars were very clear as well. It’s a wonderful setting when you want to spend time quietly. The Orion beer and goya champuru were delicious. I would love to stay again if I have the chance. Thank you very much.

We stayed in a glamping dome, and the Facility was new, clean, and fully stocked with amenities—so you can camp hands-free. As it has only just opened there wasn’t much information available, but the kitchen is also well equipped with tableware, detergent, and seasonings. We brought our own ingredients, but you can also purchase a BBQ set on-site. Charcoal BBQs are not allowed, so we used the dedicated gas grill indoors. The shared barrel sauna had an amazing ocean view as well. An ice maker and a washer-dryer were available to use free of charge. The beach is about a 5-minute walk away, so it’s recommended for fishing or visiting the market.

This was my first stay. The Room was very clean and comfortable, which made it a great place to relax. I also enjoyed the BBQ dinner, as I could eat at my own pace. I recommend it because you can spend your time here slowly and peacefully.

Due to the typhoon, it became difficult to stay on Kouri Island. Even after arriving in Okinawa, power outages and other issues meant we were ultimately guided to an Accommodation on Sesoko Island. Above all, the staff in charge were truly wonderful and kept us informed in advance by email and phone. We looked for other places as well, but we still wanted to stay here and held out until the very last minute. We couldn’t stay on Kouri Island, but they arranged Sesoko Island for us, and we had a fulfilling trip. The Accommodation was on Sesoko Island, but I’m sure Kouri Island is also amazing without a doubt. The pool, the Facility, and the staff—everything was excellent!

The Room had the unique charm of a traditional Japanese house, and we were able to stay comfortably. For breakfast, it’s a short walk, but we recommend eating at the dining venue with a great view! The open scenery is very relaxing. The staff were also very courteous, and we had a wonderful time.

This was my first stay. Both breakfast and dinner offered a wide variety of side dishes and generous portions, which was great. The meat in particular was delicious. From the Room, you can enjoy a panoramic view of the Sea of Japan. The bath is not an Onsen, but it is spacious, and morning bathing is also available. It was disappointing that the Accommodation did not have a refrigerator and only provided 2-in-1 shampoo/conditioner.

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.

Very warm welcome from hotel staff, fantastic view from the balcony, comfortable stay and definitely will come back

We stayed in a cabin. The facilities were new, very clean, and comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked not only with tableware and cooking utensils, but also with consumables such as paper towels and plastic wrap, which was very helpful. In the central plaza, we could borrow items like a frisbee and giant badminton set from the front desk and play. The kids were able to play to their heart’s content and were very happy. As an aside, our whole family loved the scent of the provided hand soap, so we found ourselves washing our hands often.
