forumWhat families say
Rakuten Travel describes this homey family-run inn, founded in 1978, with the line "lie down in the big garden and savor time as it slowly passes." Its appeal lies in the home cooking prepared by the owner's family and staff, generous with island ingredients such as sashimi from local fish the owner has caught and island bananas from Mitorea Farm, and in the canoeing, trekking and snorkeling tours the inn runs itself. It also comes up on travel review message boards as an Iriomote Island place to stay for families with young children. Access is easy as well: about 5 minutes by car from Uehara Port, with a free shuttle.
