forumWhat families say
Rakuten Travel rating 5.0 out of 5 (17 reviews). Guests praise this B&B full of the warmth of wood, set on a rise overlooking the sea in Uehara on Iriomote Island, a World Natural Heritage site, along with its rooms of natural materials finished in teak, the private balcony and skylight in every room, and the sense of being at one with nature through birdsong in the morning and fireflies and the sound of the waves at night. Child rates for ages 4 to 11 mean families can stay, and families who want to take in nature quietly also value the separate 6-guest condominium and the eco-tours.
