Monthly Rentals in Amami Ōshima

Amazing place! The location and atmosphere cannot be beat. The home is nestled amongst the Fuguki trees and has such a relaxing vibe that our stay felt like a retreat. The host graciously provided coffee, tea, local candies, coals for the bbq, and plenty of local recommendations. The home is equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The property is literally steps from the property and it was great for walking + watching the sunset from. The sea was also calm and warm enough to swim in a couple times during our stay too. The home is located just a short 25 min drive to Nazs for cafes, groceries, and restaurants, but it’s also situated nicely to explore the inland forest and southern coast. (Recommend checking out the westerners cafe about 20 minutes south) Overall, it’s an incredible value, highly recommended!

Very peaceful time in Yamato village, a bit remote from the city area where it’s much more convenient, but if you are looking for some peaceful quiet time, this place is great. The onsen Hanahana resort was really close by and we had a good time of water sliders and some sauna time on a rainy day. The owner couple was very helpful communicating where to eat and things to do.

My main purpose to visit Amami island was to see Nansei Shoto beautiful endemic birds, such as the Amami Woodcock, Ryukyu Robin and Lidth’s Jay. My initial plan was to stay here for one night and head to Yuwandake, but there was no need to go that far as most of my targets came to Oki’s garden! I woke up with a Ryukyu Robin singing. My stay here could not have been more enjoyable thanks to Oki’s kindness. He’s a great host and will make your stay in Amami a beautiful and memorable experience. Thank you very much for everything, Oki San, and I hope to come back soon!

The host was kind and I was able to use it with peace of mind. We had a clean and comfortable stay.
