A memorable stay! They were very kind from the time we made the reservation until we left, including showing us around the island after we arrived at the port.All of the services, including the provided home appliances, cooking utensils, bedding and amenities, were also good.The view was spectacular, the sea breeze was refreshing, and it was a very refreshing stay. I would like to visit you for consecutive nights next year.

It was a wonderful villa with great attention to interior design! The location is good, and even though I live by the sea and am used to seeing the sea, the view is surprising. The price is a little high, but I think it's worth it. If you are staying on Oshima, please use this hotel.

On that day, I was worried that I might not be able to cross because the boat was canceled in the morning, but I was able to set sail safely in the afternoon. A staff member came to pick us up at the port and gave us a brief tour of the island before heading to the villa. The scenery along the way was also wonderful. When you arrive at the villa, you will feel that it is the closest accommodation to the island of the gods. Okinoshima can be faintly seen in the distance, and the view in front of you is spectacular. There is also a lighthouse and the location is great. Although the weather was cloudy and the wind was strong, the waves hitting the waves were powerful and created an extraordinary world. The room is neat and clean, and the furniture is stylish. There are books on display, and the selection was quite interesting, and I felt that there was a sense of purpose rather than just a random list. By the way, we also have a projector and DVD. There are no TVs or clocks. There is wi-fi. I didn't close the curtains and spent the whole time enjoying the spectacular view. It would have been nice to see the starry sky, but I'll save that for next time. When I woke up to the sound of the waves and woke up in the morning, there were some fishing tourists, but it didn't bother me because it was far away. We had a really great time. My friend and I were also talking about wanting to see the scenery in different seasons. This is an inn that I would definitely like to visit again. The staff contacted me frequently after I made the reservation and followed up on various matters, so even though it was my first time on the island, I was able to spend a comfortable time without any inconvenience. Wonderful Oshima! It was an inn packed with things.

Stayed in Munakata Oshima during the off-season. I heard that buses on the island are suspended from December to February, so I arranged a rental car in advance and headed from Fukuoka Airport to Kamiminato Port. On the way, we stopped at Hetsu-miya, Munakata Taisha Shrine, and took a ferry to Oshima.If you move from the south side where the ferry terminal is located to the north, you will see a house standing on a cape with a spectacular view. During my week-long stay, the weather changed rapidly from sunny to rainy skies, strong winds, and waves, and the color of the sea also changed, so I never got bored every day. It's also fun to take a light trek for 2 to 3 hours from the nearby promenade to the remains of the gun battery and the observation deck of Mt. Ontake. We had a great time in a room with a great view of Oshima Lighthouse and Okinoshima on the horizon.

Once you step inside, you will be impressed by the sea that stretches out from the terrace!On the right hand side of the retro "Chikuzen Oshima Lighthouse" is the World Heritage Site "'Island inhabited by the Gods'" Munakata OkinoshimaThis is the closest villa to Okinoshima.The color of the sea, the waves, the wind, the sky, the sun, the trees, the ships...The expression changes every moment.You'll want to stare at that moment forever.At night, all you can hear is the sound of the waves and the wind, and the sky is full of stars.In consideration of the environment, the amenities included a bamboo toothbrush and comb.The futon made by craftsmen was also very comfortable.The catering's seafood tomato hotpot (dinner) and fisherman's sandwich (breakfast) were made with fresh local ingredients and were plentiful and delicious.I was impressed by the kindness and politeness of the staff. I was happy to learn more about Oshima.Careful space and hospitalityIt was a comfortable villa where you can refresh your mind and body.I want to go again.

The view from the balcony was great and I could clearly see Okinoshima. At night, we were able to enjoy the starry sky and have a relaxing time. The seafood tomato hotpot for dinner was also delicious. The black was especially delicious. The hot sandwich we had for breakfast while looking at the ocean and Oshima Lighthouse was also delicious.I was very moved by the staff's attentive support and seeing me off until the end. I would like to take care of you again.

A detached villa with an ocean view built on a hill where you can see the world heritage site "Okinoshima" from your room.This time I used it on a girls' trip.I was able to spend a relaxing time in a private space.The interior is bright and airy, and the interior and tableware are simple and stylish, giving the impression of a special attention to detail.The amenities are also from the Thai-born natural brand THANN, and the towels are from Ikeuchi Organic, which are soft to the touch. Bath time is also soothing with a nice scent.Wifi is also available, so it was perfect for a workday!For dinner, we had shabu-shabu made with domestic meat and vegetables.The sesame sauce homemade by the island's mother is exquisite!Breakfast is hearty, with the main dish being ``okara dough pita bread sandwich,'' cake salad, homemade potage soup, salad, and yogurt.Breakfast overlooking Okinoshima was amazing.Above all, I was impressed by the hospitality of the staff and their attentive attention to detail.It was the kind of inn where time passes slowly and you can feel that you are living in nature.
