"Since we're on a trip to Amami Oshima, we want to spend it relaxing with the whole family."

"I'm worried that my child might make noise and bother the neighbors..."

For those with such concerns, the most popular option right now is a "villa rental."

Experience an overwhelming sense of openness that you can't find in a hotel room, and a free space where you can feel right at home. With a fully equipped kitchen where you can even enjoy a BBQ, we introduce the charm of a "trip like a local" on Amami Oshima.

Why is renting an entire building the preferred option on Amami Oshima? 3 advantages

1. No worries even if your children are noisy! Completely private space.

In a hotel, you might worry about noise disturbing the next room. But in a private villa, you don't have to worry about your children running around or laughing loudly. Dads and moms can relax and enjoy quality time with their family.

2. Travel like a local. Cook your own meals and do your own laundry as you please.

The advantage of renting an entire house is that it comes equipped with a kitchen and washing machine. You can buy fresh ingredients at the local supermarket and cook your own meals, or wash your swimsuits the same day after a day at the beach. Even for long-term stays, you can enjoy a clean and stress-free experience.

3. Excellent value for money! Cheaper than a hotel for large groups.

Many private villas are priced per unit, meaning the cost per person decreases as the number of people increases. The extra budget can then be used to enjoy a slightly more luxurious dinner or enhance your marine activities, which is another attractive feature.

Why the northern part of Amami Oshima (around Kasari Town) is ideal for group travel

The "northern area," which is just a short drive from Amami Airport, has the biggest advantage of minimizing travel burden and allowing you to jump into the sea as soon as you arrive.

Calm beaches: Many beaches have shallow waters and calm waves, making them ideal for young children's first experience of the ocean.

Convenience: There are many stylish cafes and shops selling souvenirs and food items, so you won't have any trouble shopping.

[Personal Experience] An Ideal Day in a Private Villa

8:00 AM: I woke up to the sound of waves and headed out to the terrace with a freshly brewed cup of coffee.
2:00 PM: Snorkeling in the sea right in front of the inn! Take a rest in your room as soon as you get tired.
6:00 PM: Enjoy a luxurious BBQ party on the terrace, grilling local island pork and seafood.
9:00 PM: We talked all night long, gazing at the starry sky, a sight unique to an area with few streetlights.

Summary: On your next trip to Amami, aim to experience "freedom."

The privilege of renting an entire house is to feel closer to the nature of Amami Oshima and to cultivate deep bonds with your loved ones. Why not create lifelong memories in a private space where no one will disturb you?
