Long time traveller, first time reviewer. I was absolutely compelled to write this glowing review, as it took a lot of digging to even discover this hotel online, given the hotel's strong Asian focus and our family being from Australia. Indeed, when we were warmly greeted, we were told by our lovely host that we were the first Australian family to ever stay here. So in writing this, I hope it helps the hotel attract more international clientele. From the moment we were greeted (by the wonderful Akiko, who happened to have spent time in Australia and spoke excellent English), to the moment we departed, the hotel couldn't have been more perfect. The architecture and design, the furniture, the brilliant views, the stunning and quaint Kouri Island setting (beautiful beaches, very good snorkelling), all made for a brilliant first impression. Then to our room where the impression continued - spacious, beautifully appointed with many inclusions, and as the hotel was quite new, everything worked perfectly. Next, the restaurant, a beautiful space with stunning views over the ocean, served as a perfect setting for truly brilliant high end Japanese cuisine. Freshness and flavour in the food was paramount and the generosity was almost too much - sometimes we struggled to finish everything. And if you are a wine or sake lover, then you are in for a treat. We took the all inclusive package given the restaurant is quite expensive for Okinawa (but quite reasonable for high-end Japan), thinking of course that the wine and sake included would be modest at best. But we were absolutely blown away by a magnificently curated collection of wine and sake that were all included. Guided by food pairings by the sommelier, we were presented with an amazing selection of top Champagnes, Burgundies, Bordeaux and Italian wines, as well as serious high end sakes. As a wine professional, I was absolutely blown away and it made the whole experience truly memorable, as well as unbelievably good value. One word of advice - whilst the hotel has stunning views of the ocean, it isn't on the beach. However, it is just a 15 minute walk, 5 minute e-bike ride (available at the hotel), or just take a complimentary lift from the resort staff. Thank you to the wonderful staff for a truly memorable stay. I cannot recommend this hotel highly enough.

I usually don't write much word of mouth or reviews, but I want to tell you this time and write it. I was borrowing SUP at the marine activity counter and playing, but when I returned to the hotel after playing, there is no smartphone in the waterproof case! It seems that it fell when I snorkeled from SUP to the water. It was a wide coast, so I gave up. I told the counter brother that if you drift, please contact me, but I didn't expect it at all. A little before I got on the return flight, my wife called my smartphone and I found it! It seems that the handsome Ninny of the marine activity counter dived and looked for me. I really appreciate it. I re-interpreted the warmth of Uchinanchu. The hotel is a bit old, but the location is the best. The room was clean and I had a good vacation.

Despite the remote location in a far corner of Kouri Island, this Villa is quite easily accessible, within walking distance to the landmark attraction Heart Rock on the Island. The openness of the Villa is unique, which may not be liked by those who require security and privacy. A dip in the jacuzzi on the terrace during the day is a highlight of our stay. We particularly enjoyed having all curtains opened so we could submerge ourselves in nature and looked at the vast blue sky of Okinawa in the sunny afternoon we luckily had during our stay in mid April.

firstly, the route to the hotel and the parking was challenging, the view was excellent tho. secondly, there was a problem that while I was inside the room, my partner accidentally entered a wrong password outside, the high-pitched alarm lasted for 5 minutes, i couldn't even open the door from the inside... and the alarm was ON AGAIN for another 5 minutes when I tried to open the door from the inside after the alarm settled...

The white cottages are lined up in a place that is easily visible from the road, so you can arrive without getting lost. Check-in was thorough, so it took a long time, and I got bitten by a lot of mosquitoes, but I was warmed by the human touch. The building I stayed in was in the style of an American house from the Showa era. There was a dining table, couch, and chairs, and the ceilings were high and comfortable. The electrical appliances seemed to be a mix of nostalgic and newer items. There were not many places to plug in electrical outlets. Is this because of the place's aging? The bathroom window wouldn't open, and the lock seemed broken, so as a sensitive city dweller, I was worried about security (it was fine, of course). It was a comfortable stay.

There is a bedroom and living room, a terrace, and a kitchen, and you can see the Furuuri Ohashi Bridge in front of you, and the room is clean, and considering the price of a little over 30,000 yen, it was the best inn with a good cospa. Unfortunately, I didn't know if alcohol in the refrigerator was free or paid, so I thought it was probably paid, but I wanted you to display the price. When I asked for the price, a female staff member came in during dinner with a price list, which was a little disgusting. I was tired from leaving early in the morning, so I was a little embarrassed because I had a convenience store lunch. Also, I didn't watch TV, but after all I wanted to lie down on the sofa or bed, so I was a little disappointed that I could only watch TV while sitting at the table. Breakfast was eaten on the terrace while looking at Furuuri Ohashi Bridge, pancakes and Agu pork? And salad, etc., it was a well-balanced and delicious meal. However, after 5 pm, the island's restaurants were almost closed, and there was a convenience store closest to 7 km, so I was troubled with dinner, but it is a recommended inn for those who go to Kouri Island. I wonder if I should have brought the ingredients because there is a kitchen.

I wanted to go before and stayed because it was a special price. I was able to make a reservation at a low price, so I still compromised (no meal, about 23,000 yen), but I think I will give a lower evaluation if it is usually a price. The view from the room is really great! But the water board in front of the bathroom is moss, lots of dead leaves floating & sinking, and the net door is broken. The veranda handrail has a lot of spider nest. I wonder why the entrance door with a lot of insects was made this design. The pool is much smaller than the image I saw in the photo. I didn't get an address in the car navigation, so I finally arrived with Google Map on my phone. (Up a fairly thin road) If you can improve the cleaning and repair response, I think it's a great villa that matches the price. Please be careful if you are not good at insects. Centipede? Some of them came up from the drain and crawl on the floor. (I think this is an impossible point because it is a natural rich place)
