    The beds are very firm, they could use another mattress on top of what’s there & 2 pillows would be nice.

    I love this place, stayed for nearly 3 weeks here. Views, kitchens, cool historic home, big rooms, firm beds (typical Japanese style) , clean, lovely hosts & free range chickens. Very simple rooms & only 4. It had everything I needed. It is on a hill, with a 20 minute walk to the closest store, so definitely have a car. Also please be quiet …respecting quiet times in the morning & evenings, the walls are thin , TV & talking from your neighbors can easily be heard. Also on booking all 4 rooms are listed as one, so you’re not sure which one you’ll get… I would ask for the room at the end with the big ocean view if you want full sunset view, which also means full sun in the Summer. If you want more mountains & a cooler room ask for the one closest to the stairs. The middle rooms are actually the biggest & best for groups of 3 or more. All have fantastic views & private kitchens & baths.

    Comfortable accomodation, with an incredible view owned by a sweet couple. Need to keep in mind that accomodation is high up in the hills (hence the great view), but requires personal vehicle to go up.

    The bathroom was too small, my thighs always hit on the tissue holder when I turned around.

    Spacious room, big balcony with gorgeous sunset view, well-facilitated kitchen, lots of small insects but mosquito meshes installed and electric insecticide machine was available in the room. Very nice couple running the residence, though they were speaking Japanese but we were able to communicate with translation app. Free parking, need to drive up on hill. There are two routes to go up, the one I marked with red cross (in attached photo) is steeper, narrower and easily lost, so go for the blue high-lighted route when go up and down the hill.

    The greatest sea view of all time from the balcony. You don’t have to go to Sesoko island to enjoy the sunset. The owner lady even offered to drive me around when I didn’t get to rent a car. Really appreciate the kindness!

    The location is not ideal if you want to eat in the town. The roads to and from the property is also narrow and steep, and at night there are no street lights at all.

    The host was nice and the place is clean, spacious and comfortable. The amenities were also very complete with basic cooking appliances if you need to heat up food.

    I love to walk and definitely the location is great for that!But if you are not in great shape,rent a car...

    Beautiful location! Great walks in beautiful nature... Very traditional and off the beaten path. Kindest people ever!They offered me dinner and beers and the day of the check out, they took me to find an ATM and drove me straight to the Aquarium,which was phenomenal...If you wish the real deal at an amazing price, this is the place!Thanks again guys!You were amazing!

    Great sea view from your room! Lovely staffs. The location need rental car, and the room's walls are thin, so sometimes you can hear people's talking from your neighbor's room. Even so, I love to feel like somebody was the guesthouse.

    It is a the top of 20 mins walk hill. I would recommend only if you have a car. No convenience stores around.

    I had a great stay. The owner was very nice and drove me to the accommodation and dropped me at the city center when I checked out. I was very nice of her to do that. I really appreciated it. Very good price for a very spacious room/apartment with wonderful sea views. You even have a big terrace to enjoy the views. Everything needed in the flat and everything was very clean. The area is very quiet. I have 2 restaurants near by the house and a vending machine, in case you need it.

    No dryer; the air is damp so it's difficult to dry clothes. A bit far from convenience stores if you don't have a car.

    The hosts were very kind and gave me a room with an absolutely gorgeous view of the ocean.

    If you hates insects, it is not ideal. But getting closed to the nature relaxes your heart!

    We can enjoy beautiful sunset every evening. We made breakfasts ourselves in a little kitchen with adequate utensils, eating while enjoying the sea view. The location is on a hill, away from town, but it was only 15-20 minutes drive to the aquarium.

    Water wasn’t available in the room and needed to ask the host to turn on the wifi on our 2nd day. These were very small inconveniences. Highly recommend.

    Biggest room we have had in Japan. The views are incredible. Having a small kitchen was great and a nice change to be able to cook. The owner offered to drive us to the supermarket and back, which was very kind. The hotel is close to a couple of great cafes / restaurants, which offer amazing sunset views. Easy to get to the ferry pier which takes you to outer lying islands for day trips.
