🇦🇹🤗🇯🇵🌺Wonderful🌺☺️🌺Wonderful🌺🤩I really liked it!It is a small accommodation run by a family.The landlady and her 3 sons were super friendly and it was easy to chat because everyone spoke English.There was a great breakfast and dinner. The great thing about being a foreigner is that you can easily get into conversation with the other guests here.🤗👍🏻The older of the three sons, “Maru”, took over the business as a diving instructor from his parents. I went diving with him and other guests for two dives on two days. The spots were beautiful and he helped me out with his air because I needed a little more. Apparently he can get along without it 😂🤷🏻‍♂️I had 4 nights here. I regret not staying here longer 😅

Great place, I wish we could have stayed longer. Great food served on the balcony overlooking the beach. Friendly staff and comfortable rooms. It's not luxurious, but it has what's important.

Our stay at Kuwai guest house was amazing.I spent there 4 nights with my boyfriend.The place is stunning: you always look at the ocean while eating the best food on the island.The guest house mum is a real cooking queen: she cooks with fruits & vegetables from the garden, always bakes fresh bread, and the fish is the best fish I‘ve ever eaten in my whole life.The rooms are cozy, clean and super quiet.We also love the diving day together with Kazumaru.He showed us some amazing caves around Aka.The most stunning reef of the island is just around the corner - 3 minutes to walk 🤿🐢I would highly recommend this place.If you think about diving, snorkeling or just relaxing - go to Aka Island and book this accommodation!It was the highlight of our trip to Japan.Many thanks to the whole family to make our time on Aka and in Japan that special. 💫🙏

We had our second diving experience (we have no diving certificate) with Kawai diving and we loved it!The instructor explained everything to us in perfect english and he gave us time to get used to the diving, compensate properly etc.Thank you for the wonderful experience!

Kawai fisherman’s house is a great stay and a very good deal. The meals are incredible and filling.It is located close to the ferry doc but the owners provide pick up and drop off.There is good swimming in front of the stay. However, just a 20 min walk away and less are breath taking reefs.Glad we came, hope to come back.

Great view from the terrace, very good food, nice spacious room, and sea turtles live on the beach there. The diving was great too. We're already planning to come back.
