Vacation rentals in Kume Island

I was based in Eve Beach, so I am very satisfied.However, there are few shops around, so you can fully enjoy it if you rent a car.

I was allowed to spend very comfortably.There is also a sunroom where outdoor water and laundry where I wash my swimsuit and sandals, I used it.

Kaori-san was incredibly kind and approachable, ensuring I had the best possible time in Kumejima—and I truly did! She provided thoughtful recommendations tailored to my interests, all of which were spot on. The house has all the advertised amenities, is well-kept, and remarkably clean. It isn't brand new, but that’s exactly what I was looking for—a vintage charm reminiscent of Japanese movies from the 90s or the countryside settings in Studio Ghibli films. While many see Kyoto as the quintessential Japanese experience (and it’s great, of course), this felt more like my kind of place. One highlight was booking a snorkeling trip with Kaori-san’s husband, which turned out to be unforgettable. He took me to a secluded spot accessible only by boat, where I swam alone in peaceful waters. The quiet allowed me to encounter a sea turtle and swim alongside her, as well as colourful, amusing fishes. A perfect blend of hospitality, charm, and adventure.

I appreciated the quiet surroundings, and the space has everything you need for a relaxed time. I would recommend it! It's probably important to note that if you choose to rent e-bikes (a lovely service offered), then you pay a one-time fee for the length of the stay regardless of how much you're able to use them.

A truly marvelous place surrounded by lovely people, beautiful fields, and charming birds. We had a delightful stay at Shinminka and the host put us in touch with a very kind agency who rented bike and became our friends. If you need a relaxing poetic time I would definitely recommend this place.

It was very helpful to rent a car.
