“Amazing stay would definitely book again!”

We had such an amazing stay at Life is a Journey in Yomitan. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with open arms, and the owner truly couldn’t have been more kind and welcoming. There are beautiful beaches all around and a vegan restaurant in front of the stay, which was delicious. I even forgot my water bottle there, and the owner went out of his way to send it back to me by mail. Such incredible kindness and service! Absolutely outstanding experience from start to finish. I will definitely be booking here again. Highly recommend!

Cozy and peaceful

Quiet room, nice lounge and a well equipped kitchen.

The staff

The host is very friendly and the house is clean and in good condition

“It felt like a home away from home :)”

The guesthouse was very homey, clean and comfortable! It’s right next to a bus stop, which is very convenient. It was a wonderful experience!

“Amazing value in perfect location!”

Great location near the beach! Bed was comfortable and the room had aircon. Great experience! Owners are super friendly.

Owners were really kind and helpful. My husband had medicall issues and could not walk. They helped us without hesitation or expecting anything in return.

Lovely stay almost like at home :)

“Highly recommend”

Great quiet place with a nice atmosphere

Clean, Cosy and close to the sea on a very chill Part of yomitan.

The location was great if you have a car with you. Close to great snorkelling areas and good food options. There is a delicious cafe right next door. The host was very friendly and rented us snorkelling gear for the day.

“Wonderful guesthouse”

the owner was very welcoming and helped me to plan my road trip on the last day since I didnt have anything planned. Information was provided very early on and this allowed me to have a very comfortable and wonderful stay.

“Kind, clean, comfortable, and convenient”

The rooms are simple but comfortable and individually air conditioned. It's right across the street from the ocean, and next door to a vegan restaurant that serves delicious lunches and really good espresso. The owner is wonderfully kind and helpful. It is very clean. Besides convenient laundry facilities, there is also an outside area in the back where you can hose off your fins or water shoes or soak your mask in a bucket. Guests share some common facilities, allowing you to have a friendly chat with a new person in the kitchen over a cup of tea--or not, as you prefer. But there are only a few rooms, so I never felt that there was competition for the shower or other facilities. This was the second time I have stayed here, and I expect it will not be the last.

“Lovely guesthouse!”

The room and the facilities were clean and comfortable. You can use the kitchen and there's a living room with tatami. Washer and dryer are available too. There are not many things going on around as it locates in a quiet residential area, but the cafe right next to the guesthouse serves great felafel and superb coffee. Last but not least, the owner was really friendly and helpful-- thank you!

i had a late check in to the hostel, while the host was nice and kept contact with me for my successful self-check in:)

The owner was very friendly and helpful. He also speaks English. My room was spacious and the bed was comfortable. The kitchen had everything you need, even a big toaster oven.

“Friendly staff and good vibes!”

Life is a journey is a little house right by the sea. We had a lovely stay and Manabu-san helped us a lot giving us recommendations and even a lift to the lighthouse! Highly recommend!
