“had an issue with my bicycle, and the staff were extremely helpful in resolving it and helping me f”

A beautiful and minimalist interior design where nothing feels unnecessary or excessive. The staff is accommodating, and the location is convenient.

Friendly staff with thoughtfuly arranged facilities.

Located about 5min drive south from Amami airport Minka is in a remote location near the beach.. Rooms are modern and spacious with air-conditioning and comfortable futons..Shared shower rooms are clean with plenty of hot water..Self check-in system and self service for food and beverage.(Honesty system) Communication from owners was great. Common use kitchen and lounge area with free shochu. Need a car to get to nearby shops but a great place to stay if you arrive late or have to leave early from the airport..

“A wonderful home away from home. Highly recommended when traveling with friends.”

The property was very well equipped, conveniently located, and comfortable to stay in.

“Amazing stay ♡”

The hospitality of the couple running this guesthouse is beyond imagination. They are kind and available to help. Every area of the guesthouse is clean, well furnished and has a nice smell. All the services are on point. There are big showers, the laundry area with also the dryer, the kitchen and the kids area (which is HUGE) and has plenty of games and book for kids. If I have to go back to Amami I will definitely stay here again.

“素晴らしい体験です！”

The landlady is very kind and nice! She took us to the supermarket and help us alot！ The house is very clean, and I can see the landlady's thoughtfulness in every detail! I'm so happy booked this house!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

“Good”

It was a really cute accommodation. I was only there for one night because it's close to the airport, but I've been told many times during my stay on Amami that it's also the best place for diving, so the location seems to be good for that!

hosted by a lovely couple. also if you not speak japanese there is no problem to make things happen, super helpful and supportive. Now my second time and my go for place to stay on this beautiful island. i enjoy the tatami room, but also there is one room with a western bed. a kitchen with everything what is needed to prepare food and tea / coffee. I hope you enjoy this place like I do.

“Amazing hosts!!”

The hosts were wonderful, very responsive via the booking.com app, always there if you need them, and although I try to speak Japanese via a translator app, the hosts even spoke very good English which is great! The room is very spacious, and clean, with air conditioning which works very well, and also has a wardrobe! I booked the quad Japanese room which is next to the toilet, and has a very comfy futon bed and blanket. When I arrived at the property I was greeted by the lady who came outside to meet me at my taxi (I cannot remember her name :/ ) she checked me in, showed me to my room very kindly, and showed me to the information book provided, which gives you info on the guesthouse, the family who own it, and lots of recommendations in the area for various different things, in Japanese and English! There are two modern showers, with three sinks/vanity areas which are again modern and clean. And around the corner there is a laundry area with two washers and a drier - which washed and dried my clothes very well (I’ve sometimes found that the the driers in some places aren’t all that good but this one was good!) I only spent one full day in Amami but wish I stayed longer. I asked the lady to call me a taxi for 12pm on the day to take me to the local beach, which she did and also translated for the driver who took me to the exact spot I wanted. When I came back in the evening I ate my dinner in the communal lounge/dining area which is very modern and has everything you need! On the morning I left, I could have walked to the airport but I didn’t want to carry my luggage, so I asked her to call me a taxi to which she replied “no no I’ll take you now” put on her shoes and drove me to the airport! When I asked how much she wanted for the trip she politely declined to take any money from me (I left some on her front seat of course!) A wholesome young family who have renovated their guesthouse perfectly and offer a great service to their guests!

“A warm welcome and a nice stay in a modern well equipped guesthouse.”

A good place to stay near Amami airport. A nice room to hangout, make some food or have a drink and a chat.

The room was very different to what I’m used to in western hotels, but it was very comfortable and I slept well on the futon. Everything was clean and attractive. The hosts are a lovely family. A short anecdote from my brief stay: As it was my first time in Japan, I asked for food recommendations and they told me about a nearby restaurant. I didn’t have enough cash but I elected to withdraw money from across the street. So I drove to the restaurant, made sure it was open and there was room for me and to my surprise I found out that I had a reservation! Kindly booked by my hosts. I then went to withdraw some cash but the ATM couldn’t recognise my card, so I went back to the restaurant with the plan to just eat lightly with the limited cash I had. Then, out of nowhere, my hosts appeared at the restaurant, somehow with the knowledge that I was struggling, and offered to cover the whole dinner for me! They are kind hearted people that will do their best to make sure you enjoy your stay. I’d highly recommend this guesthouse, more so than any other I’ve visited before.

“A great place to stay”

It was a very modern, clean well designed spacious guest house with excellent facilities. The staff were very friendly and kind. They gave me useful information and went out of their way to help me get to the airport when I left in the morning. Thank you!

“Perfect stay!”

Everything - impeccable, super clean, stylish, Finnish touch on decorations, simple and chic. Super big space for common area kitchen and also safe playground for kids, even nursery room! Easy to access, and all rooms are different. Lovely young couple running it.
