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!

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.

The top recommendation is the private open-air bath on the rooftop. There are two options, A and B; if you can book the evening slot to watch the sunset, choose A. Since the rooftop bath has only one faucet and no shampoo or other amenities, it’s best to wash up first in the large public bath on the first floor, which is fully equipped. Guests are responsible for laying out their own futons, including putting on the sheets. This may not suit those looking for a classic Ryokan experience where your bedding is prepared while you’re at dinner, but room rates are more reasonable as a result. The Shinshu beef sukiyaki dinner was excellent. We bought drinks and snacks at Yamauchi Shoten across from the Ryokan (open until 7:00 PM—please note), but we ended up too full and had to take them back with us the next day. The Ryokan is also perfectly located for visiting multiple public baths, making it easy to take a break at the Accommodation between stops around mealtimes. Shuttle Service times are set to match Nagano Dentetsu limited express trains. If you’d like to explore town after check-out, you can take a bus (e.g., from Shibu-Wago bus stop) to Yudanaka Station, but be aware there may be little time between arriving at the station and your train’s departure.

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.

We also enjoyed complimentary ice cream after our bath. Breakfast was luxurious and delicious—I ended up eating too much (haha). The warm hospitality and thoughtful service from the friendly proprietress were wonderful. Thank you very much! We look forward to visiting again

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.

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 for one night this time. The building exudes a full sense of a white resort, and the interior was very comfortable. It was a unique experience at the Hotel, with villas nestled in the forest and a terrace offering views of the sea through the garden. White peacocks appeared in the garden, which was truly impressive. The meals were exceptionally delicious, clearly showcasing attention to quality ingredients. I would love to visit again.

The Room was spotless. The view was beautiful. Everything about the location was perfect. On the day of our stay, we made a last-minute request to move from Building A-1 to Building A-2, and they kindly accepted and had it ready in about 20 minutes. During that time, they even served us tea at the café. All of the staff were truly wonderful! If I have a chance to visit Yamaguchi again, I’d love to stay here again, and it’s an Accommodation I can confidently recommend to others. By the way, the view of Tsunoshima Bridge and the sunset from the balcony at dusk was absolutely stunning!!! Building A-2 has a kitchen/dining area, so it was a great space for cooking and eating together (4 chairs). Also, although it wasn’t shown in the photos, there was a bedroom on the first floor! There’s also a small shower room. With two beds on the first floor and two on the second floor, there’s more than enough space for four people—you can stay comfortably and relax. When deciding on our booking, it was hard to understand the overall layout of the Room, and I felt like I couldn’t gather all the information from photos alone. So when we entered on arrival, we kept being surprised—“There’s space like this too?!” “Wow, it’s this spacious?!” It might be helpful if there were Instagram posts or similar that show an overall layout in advance. The nearby beaches were very beautiful as well, and if we travel again in summer, I’d love to come back here. Please let us stay again—thank you very much!

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.

We stayed here during summer vacation with three generations of our family. They arranged our Rooms next to each other and emailed us the meal times in advance, so we felt at ease even before our stay. When we arrived, the staff were very courteous. The view from the window was amazing!!! I thought the meal might be too much, but it was delicious and we enjoyed everything all the way to dessert. The pineapple pudding dessert was especially tasty. When we told them we were going to Inuyama Castle the next day, they printed a map of the area for us and also helped set up table tennis—thank you so much. The Facility is a little old, but our satisfaction more than made up for it!! We would definitely like to stay again.

I was planning to camp, but a typhoon hit us directly, so I ended up staying here at the last minute. It’s not the kind of place you often find at an Onna Village Hotel with a beautiful building, ocean views, and luxurious meals, but it’s inexpensive and perfectly fine if you just need somewhere to sleep. The Room was clean, and it was great that I could cook for myself. There is an IH cooker, but you need to bring your own cookware.

The terrace was spacious, and the late check-out time allowed us to enjoy a relaxing morning sipping coffee while gazing at the sea. The room was clean and perfectly sized for two people. However, we felt a bit hesitant about using the jacuzzi on the terrace, so we decided not to use it this time. As mentioned in other reviews, parking was quite challenging, especially since we had an MT car, which made it a bit more difficult. Other than that, everything was wonderful. It made us want to stay longer next time! We also appreciated the coffee, tea, snacks, and popcorn provided—they were such a nice touch. Thank you for giving us such a lovely experience!

I stayed for three nights. (Used a smoking Room.) It was a good Hotel. (It has a retro, Showa-era vibe.) Being close to the station is very convenient—excellent. (Free parking.) Request: I would have liked cotton swabs among the amenities. Comment: The convenience store is far, so it’s better to come prepared. However, there are several restaurants nearby (including izakaya). Overall, I think it’s a very good Hotel. I would like to stay again if I have the opportunity.

We stayed for one night with breakfast included, accommodating four people. The room was an ocean-view room. Stepping out onto the spacious balcony, we were greeted by a stunning ocean view. The scenery was beautiful. Inside the room, there were two beds and two futons laid out on a tatami space. The room was spacious enough for four people to stay comfortably. Both the room lights and bathroom lights had dimming functions, which are rare in accommodations, allowing us to adjust brightness as needed—this made it feel like home. It’s a great hotel for an extended stay. Breakfast offered both Japanese and Western options; while not extensive in variety, there were plenty of well-balanced dishes to choose from, all of which were delicious. Although there didn’t seem to be any izakaya-style restaurants nearby, it was nice that some izakayas offered shuttle service to and from the hotel. The price of the hotel is also reasonable. I would love to stay here again if I have another opportunity!

Master, thank you for such a fun and wonderful time. It was my first stay, but you listened to so many of our stories over drinks, and it was truly relaxing. You even celebrated my birthday and Mother’s Day with me—it was the most fulfilling time I’ve had in decades. If I have the chance, I would love to stay again at this Hotel.
