Amami Ōshima Island × Highly-rated Hotel·Ryokan

I always stay here when visiting Amami. It was very comfortable. I would appreciate it if something could be done about the poor ventilation in the smoking area on the 10th floor. I would be very happy if the large public bath were available 24 hours a day. It was my first time having breakfast here, and the bread was really delicious. I will stay again. Thank you very much.

This is a well-established, reliable Hotel in Amami. There is an Onsen on the top floor, and soaking in the open-air bath while taking in a panoramic view of Naze Port washes away your fatigue. From your Room, the ocean is right in front of you. The sea below has coral reefs, and tropical fish—even Nemo and friends—swim by. The staff are kind and always make you feel comfortable, so it feels like coming home. Whenever I visit Amami, I spend one night here and have dinner at Yani. Resting while looking out over Amami’s sea from your Room feels wonderful, and in the morning you can relax over breakfast with views of the garden and ocean—this is a Hotel that leaves you feeling refreshed.

We chose this Hotel because it could accommodate our family of five. There were three double beds and a double-size sofa bed, plus a hammock in the Room. The bathtub on the terrace was amazing—bathing while looking out at the ocean was the best. The private bath within the Facility was also a comfortable size. The food was delicious, and the staff’s hospitality felt warm and genuine. With a typhoon approaching, they even helped secure an extended stay in case our flight was canceled. In the end it wasn’t canceled and we were able to go home, but it gave us great peace of mind during our stay. Being close to the airport was also convenient, as it let us relax until the very last minute before leaving.

I visited solo on vacation last year and loved it so much that I came back for our honeymoon with my husband. We stayed in an Ocean Villa for three nights, and the blue ocean and sky from the Room, along with the delicious food and drinks, were amazing. My husband was thrilled too, and I’m so glad we came together. There are other Room types as well, but I wanted to wake up, open the window, and feel the sea right away—so I was completely satisfied. However, since people playing in the ocean can be quite close, those who prefer more privacy might want to choose a different Room type farther away. Also, it would be nice if there were an easy way to buy light snacks inside the Hotel when you get hungry. This trip also became a wonderful memory—thank you very much. Whenever I come to Amami, I definitely want to stay at this Hotel again.

Whenever I stay at a Hotel, I usually hear some noise (people talking or mysterious banging), but this time it was almost silent and I ended up sleeping for 12 hours. It was very comfortable, with an ice dispenser essential for hot Amami Oshima, a large public bath, washing machines, and an inexpensive gas station nearby. There’s also an AEON close enough to see but not within walking distance. I stayed in different Rooms on the first and second nights (because they don’t clean after just one night), and they kindly moved the luggage I didn’t need for sightseeing into the Room for my second night. This was a perfect Hotel stay for me after a long time. Please let me stay again!

My mother and I stayed here together in late April. We stayed in a beachfront Room with a wonderful ocean view. It was a lovely stay: we could hear the waves all day, woke up to the sound of the waves in the morning, and fell asleep peacefully to them at night. Hardly anyone came to the beach right in front of our Room, so we were able to enjoy private time. Occasionally other guests took photos around check-in/check-out times, but there were blinds, so we felt comfortable and at ease. We had both breakfast and dinner at 2waters. The healthy, delicious dishes made with local island ingredients were beautiful to look at as well, and enjoying them while looking out at the sea made the experience even more special. The souvenir shop at Ma-gun Plaza also had a stylish selection, different from what you find at airport shops, so we were able to buy great souvenirs. It was my first time visiting Amami Oshima, but experiencing Amami culture warmed my heart. All of the staff were very kind. If I have the chance, I would love to stay again.

Modern, clean Room overlooking the beach. Delicious meals you could enjoy day after day without getting tired of them. Cozy, home-like hospitality. Best of all, a beautiful beach where sea turtles and many kinds of fish swim—reserved exclusively for this Hotel’s guests.

Clean and very convenient, with an airport bus stop just nearby. I didn’t use the bath this time, but it looked clean and I don’t think there would be any issues. I’d like to stay here again.

Affordable, steps from the beach, with Shuttle Service to the airport. There is also a pool, and amenities are well stocked. This Hotel is comfortable for everyone—families, couples, and solo travelers. I’ll definitely stay again.

This was my first stay. The Room was clean, and I had a very comfortable stay. I would like to stay again.

Thank you very much for your careful and courteous support. I look forward to working with you again. Thank you.

Our family of three stayed for one night. The staff were very kind and welcoming. Thank you very much. Breakfast was simple, but it was freshly prepared and delicious.

Although the Hotel is old, I think it is conveniently located for going anywhere. The front desk staff were pleasant and helpful. I traveled with a friend, and we were satisfied to get a spacious Room at a low price, but perhaps due to staff shortages, there were a few hairs in the corner of the toilet, which was the only disappointment. Considering the price, everything else was good value for money.

- The view is excellent, and the sea in front is generally calm as it faces the bay. - The living dining area is spacious, with stylish and large furnishings, allowing for a relaxing stay. - The amenities are well-provided, using the property's shampoo, conditioner, and body soap. High-end hairdryers are conveniently placed in each bathroom and room. - There are plenty of changes of room wear and towels, so there is no inconvenience. - Wi-fi was available without any issues. - The free drinks (shochu, beer, bottled tea and sparkling water, fruit juice, etc.) are well-stocked, and there is rosé wine and champagne in the cellar for a fee. - Depending on the length of stay, it may be necessary to purchase additional hot drinks such as coffee and tea. - The free food beef stew is delicious. - If self-catering, it is necessary to procure seasonings. Glasses, tableware, cooking utensils, and plastic wrap are provided. - There are no shops nearby, so a car is needed for shopping or dining out, but this allows for a quiet stay. - It takes about 10 minutes by car to the nearest supermarket. - The course by the visiting chef (for a fee) was very delicious, utilizing local ingredients. - The property is located down an alley, and the sign is placed close to the ground, making it easy to miss. Extra caution is needed, especially at night, as there are no streetlights in the area. - At night, the surroundings become completely dark, so if the weather is clear, you can see a beautiful starry sky from the terrace. - The beach in front of the property is almost exclusively for guests, but occasionally anglers come to the breakwater (the distance to the end of the breakwater is considerable, so it is not particularly bothersome). - If you put your feet in the sea or do SUP, you won't feel the cold, but if you participate in marine activities such as snorkeling, wearing a wetsuit is necessary.

A quiet, beautifully clear sea right in front of you, almost like having it all to yourself. The staff were very kind, and the entire stylish Facility was truly wonderful.

Located in a quiet residential area, the nights are peaceful—you’ll hear little more than the sound of insects. On clear days, you can also enjoy a sky full of stars. The Facilities and amenities are very well stocked, including several items not listed on the website. Everything is high quality and thoughtfully selected. We especially appreciated the gas dryer, which dried clothes quickly and was extremely useful for us since we did marine activities every day. The owner couple were also very kind, and they kindly gave us a loaf of local brown sugar bread from a neighborhood bakery, which made for a delicious breakfast during our stay. This is an Accommodation we would love to stay at again. Thank you very much.

We were really looking forward to the included marine gear. With unlimited use of SUP boards and more, we enjoyed ourselves until it got dark—and again as much as we wanted in the morning. The ocean is right in front of you, so it was great to change into a swimsuit and head straight into the water. After playing, we could rinse off at the outdoor shower and hop right into the heated jacuzzi, which warmed us up nicely. Even when we weren’t in the water, it was wonderful to relax on the spacious terrace with tea and fully enjoy the resort atmosphere. The Room was also spacious, and we loved wrapping up in a large blanket and unwinding on the sofa. The shop across the road also offers takeout like rice-flour churros and coffee—so good! Chaco, the resident dog, was adorable! The shop had lots of lovely items that are perfect for souvenirs. Next time, we’d love to stay at least two nights and spend plenty of time enjoying the sea. Thank you so much for everything!!

With two typhoons approaching, it felt almost impossible to make it to Amami Oshima, but although 8 of us were supposed to come, 6 managed to arrive—and we truly appreciated all your help. Even before our trip, you supported us through LINE (and shared lots of great recommendations), and all six of us had a very satisfying stay. So spacious! So clean! Plenty of dishes and appliances (the washer and dryer were especially convenient)! Parking for two cars! And the coffee (the owner’s original blend?!) was delicious! Plus there was a piano and books, a whiteboard, board games, and even a projector (?)... The high-quality water purifier was a nice touch, and the freezer even made ice automatically—overall it was just incredibly comfortable. The location is also convenient: getting to downtown Naze by taxi cost around 1,200–1,300 yen, which felt very reasonable, so we could easily go out for dinner. We were also able to get picked up for a night tour... I could go on forever, but thank you again for everything!! We’d love to stay again!!!

An Accommodation you don’t want to tell anyone about—you hear that a lot, right!? I’d always wondered if such a place really existed. Well, it does. It’s ama-oto. You’ll understand once you stay—there are so many thoughtful touches that anticipate what you need. It even made me want to live there. Thank you so much, host! I’ll be back!

We stayed after a typhoon, and while there were some issues such as unstable Wi‑Fi, the secluded setting away from everyday life was wonderful. The sound of the waves, birdsong, and insects was truly calming. The Facility is well equipped overall. (It was a shame that the jacuzzi jets were not working.) What you really need to bring is food and drinks. We bought live spiny lobster and sashimi at Tahata Fresh Fish Shop and enjoyed a delicious meal.
