Although I was only able to stay for 2 nights, it was a wonderful and relaxing stay.When I'm at the beach, I tend to get tired from playing around so actively, but the time I spent here, even while playing in the river, was refreshing and quiet.I cooked everything myself, so I had to do a lot of shopping at the beginning, but once I arrived, it was pretty slow.If you are used to city life, it may be a little inconvenient at first.However, I quickly got used to it, and I learned a lot from the wisdom that I could do without it. I feel like it also gives me peace of mind and confidence when something happens.It is OK to cut the lotus flowers in the garden, so I sketched them while looking at them in the living room, or bought a chisel, wood, and ink at a 100 yen shop to make prints, admired them, and then took a bath. I floated it and enjoyed the scent.The homemade enzyme syrup I received was also delicious! It permeated my body.There are a lot of fireflies at night. If it doesn't move, it's difficult to distinguish it from a star. I had a mystical and mysterious feeling, as if I was floating in space without gravity.I also enjoyed encountering natural creatures and plants.I am grateful to the owner for creating an inn in such a special place. I would love to hear from you again sometime.

A very beautiful place to get away. Top notch privacy. You literally have a big area to yourself. There is a waterfall nearby too to explore.

I originally didn't know anything about this place it was my friend who is on local living in Okinawa who is interested in coming, and I decided to tag along since it seems very interesting.I loved itIt is a nice place to get away for a short time with some peace and quiet in the woods and surrounded by nature at night time that is like a nature concert with the life in the forest so you will never have a moment of silence.I had a blast staying here for the night, and it was such a lovely experience. Just be aware of the snakes that may be on the ground and don't step on them otherwise you may get bit I saw one right by the pond pretty much upon the arrival and have been very careful of every step of my way afterwards.

I visited for the first time in early December.I had very high expectations and had high expectations when I visited, as the reviews were very high, but it exceeded my expectations.The inn is kind to people and the environment, and soap is provided for washing dishes.Natural salt and herbal vinegar instead of shampoo,There was sesquicarbonate soda available for washing, and candles were set out on the table.I think this is a great accommodation for people who value nature and those who suffer from electromagnetic interference.I have stayed at many inns, but I have never seen one like this.Yet stylish. It's sure to be Instagrammable. The bath was also nice.Unfortunately, it was raining on the day I visited, so I wasn't able to explore the surrounding area much.Still, I took a leisurely walk in the nearby stream, looked into the small pond with an umbrella floating in it, and admired the cute jet-black newts recommended by the owner.I was very healed by the natural scenery of Yanbaru.Also, the crumbly and juicy breakfast I ordered, full of wild herbs, was so delicious that it soaked into my body.Actually, I was worried about the bad reviews (sorry)A light truck will pick you up at the parking lot.The moment I exchanged greetings with the owner for the first time, all the bad reviews went away.The owner is not a commercial person in a very good sense,They showed me a lot of gentle and quiet consideration, similar to when I visited relatives I hadn't seen in a long time. I was very happy to receive such attention.However, this hotel may not be suitable for people who expect the "customer is god" type of treatment found in first-class hotels. I thought.I thought it would be difficult to find a place to stay, as each person has different expectations for what they want from an inn, and no matter how good the inn is, it can't satisfy everyone.I always come to Okinawa for the sea, but next time I would like to come to Okinawa to enjoy the river during the swimming season.Signboard dog? I would like to play with Ku-chan even more next time.

Personally speaking i liked this place very much. It was located in such a beautiful location covered with hills and greenery. There is ponds covered with lotus. There are 2 swings in the surrounding. One near cottage and another swing near river. Also hammocks in the cottage.Its a beautiful cottage where you can enjoy BBQ and Campfires with you friends and family. There is a small river near by you to cross that river and go to cottage.Ms morioka was very helpful and her dog it was very cute. It as my best stay till now. Better than any other hotel.But before you go there you must prepare insects repellent And mosquitoes coils.Also nearest convenience store is about 39 min away.

My mind and body, which had been stiff due to the coronavirus and daily work, gradually loosened up.Being in this place surrounded by so much life, I feel like I am being injected with nature and energy.Humans are also animals. When you get away from nature, something goes wrong.I would have liked to stay one more night if possible! !I also became friends with Kuu-chan, and I'm looking forward to visiting again next time.Mr. Morioka's thoughts were put into everything about the building of the inn, the things that were placed there, the flowers he arranged, and the breakfast, which made me feel warmer than anything else.What a luxurious water lily bath!thank you! thank you!I would like to visit again through the ceremony. Summer is definitely the best, and I want to see them all in spring, summer, fall, and winter as well.

Anyway, it was a wonderful stay!It is a very refreshing experience to walk across the river to the inn in the great nature of Yanbaru.The inn is made of wood and blends beautifully with the natural surroundings.Even if you just sit on the veranda, you can hear the soothing sound of the river and it's very soothing.You can feel the care taken in every corner of the interior, and it's filled with wonderful things and things that are kind to nature.Breakfast is a delicious and healthy breakfast made by the owner, such as wildflower juice and red bean soup. I was surprised to learn that you can also eat cuttings, which are often found in Okinawa.I only stayed for one night this time, but it was the perfect relaxing and refreshing experience for me as I've been busy lately!The owner is also kind and kind, and I would like to continue to stay there regularly to improve my mind and body (^^)

Honestly, it's not a good response.I don't know if it's homemade or what, but it's for customers.If we don't change our responses, we won't be able to prosper.I personally don't recommend it.
