I regained my strength and was able to go again.I've been here since the time when the rich coral reefs had just begun bleaching, so I'm aware of the successes of the Tsukayama family, including Wataru, Hiromi, Tomiko, Midori and Hiko, but my older brother is in a wheelchair, so I don't know about the great success of Akebono Hall in the beginning.This year, the Sagaribana in Super Kawamanri has not even budded yet, but the tree at the entrance to Akebono House bloomed on April 24th. Flowering was completed on the 25th, the next morning, with some remaining.I went to Nakano Beach for the first time in a while. The power transmission line to Hatoma Island was exposed. I heard that the water pipe is from the Mare River.It seems that Akebonokan is still working hard.

3/2024The owner and the guests are like family. Even the neighbors will just bring something and sit down to have a cup of coffee as they read the newspaper. The cafeteria (?) is everyone’s living room.At night we lay down on the roof and just gazed at the stars listening to the sound of the waves. Even saw a shooting star.The cozy home feeling was amazing and the owner incredible. ✨

Although October is when cheap tickets start to go on sale, there have been few changes to winter timetables for island buses and remote island routes. Airfares have changed frequently since then. …

It's a popular inn, so it's difficult to get a reservation.It's a wonderful and fun stay.Many of the regulars who come here are also happy.We all went in the middle of the night,Jungle exploration (gathering langoustines, langoustines, and eel hunting)・Collecting sawfish, etc.) It was a lot of fun.Both the owner and Hiromi are very nice people.20 seconds from the inn, you're already at the sea! !

The last time I took a bus to Shirahama, the coronavirus pandemic had just begun and it was the off-season before the marathon. …

The home! The building is old, but it seems like it has been cleaned often and feels clean. The food is island cuisine from a guesthouse on a remote island, so some people may have some likes and dislikes, but for me it was very palatable and delicious. The host is very kind. There seemed to be a lot of repeat guests and they were doing various things in the inn, so at first I thought there were a lot of people in the inn, but they were all guests. Is this an inn that I wouldn't recommend to people who find that annoying? (lol) I like this kind of thing, but it might not be good for people who want to be left alone with things like privacy.
