My husband and I stayed in the separate building S for three nights.Although the building shows its age, the interior is well-maintained and feels clean (although there are insects such as geckos).There are no amenities, so you'll need to bring your own towels, toothbrushes, and skin care products.It's a little far from Nishihama, but you can rent electric bicycles and there's a store nearby, so it doesn't feel like an inconvenience.Meals are not included as you are staying without meals, but there is a kitchen in the room and you can get rice from the main house, so you can cook for yourself.If you do not cook for yourself, please be careful when it comes to meals, such as checking the restaurant's regular holidays (many restaurants may be closed on Tuesdays) or temporary closures, and making reservations for dinner early.In our case, the second day was a Tuesday, but lunch was almost completely closed due to regular, irregular, and temporary closures, and dinner was also closed and the restaurants that were open were fully booked. Because I fell into it... (lol)Also, on the second night, we participated in a starry sky photography tour.Since there were no other participants, it was reserved for private use, and on this day we could see a starry sky without a single cloud.I had the owner take photos for me, I lay down and looked at the Milky Way...it was great to just relax!This inn is recommended for those who want to relax at their own pace, as there is little interaction with other guests.

The room was not available for single person reservations due to the availability on that day, but they gladly accommodated us.There was a quiet gecko as a roommate in the room, but there were no unpleasant insects or anything, and the room was clean overall.The air conditioner in the room cost 200 yen for 6 hours, but considering the electricity situation on the island and the low accommodation costs, I think it's reasonable.Ideal as a base for sightseeing on the island, you can rent electric bicycles for 1,000 yen for one night or two days, and even after check-out you can receive services such as luggage storage and shower use.

1300 yen including electric bicycle rental and port transfer is cheap! It was very helpful to be able to tour the main tourist spots and learn how to get around the island. I would like to ask you again next time.
