Himakajima Island Villa Yuzuki

Dinner features a full-course pufferfish meal. Breakfast includes freshly cooked rice in an earthen pot, thickly sliced grilled salmon, shaved bonito flakes (a rare treat these days), fluffy rolled omelet, large soft pickled plums, lightly pickled cucumber and daikon radish, and more—showcasing attention to both ingredients and hospitality.

After finishing business in Nagoya, I decided to visit Himakajima, famous for octopus and blowfish, to enjoy the sea view.The well-designed interior and clean rooms provided a comfortable stay. The meals were prepared with fresh ingredients and served at their best. The pike conger tempura was absolutely delicious. For my husband, who isn't fond of Japanese-style breakfasts, they kindly prepared a Western breakfast as an alternative, which made both of us very happy.At night, stepping out onto the room's balcony revealed Scorpio directly in front of us. The perfection and beauty of that scene left me mesmerized for a while—I believe I'll never forget that view.With thoughtful hospitality throughout our stay, we were able to truly relax. True to its name as an "island villa," this is an accommodation I would love to visit again. Everything about this accommodation was perfect!
