HOMESTAY Kucha - Vacation STAY 17846v

Suited for off-beat travellers. Location has good proximity to remote beaches. No supermarkets or restaurants nearby so recommend buying food for fridge and microwave cooking. Overall the landlady is sweet and pays special attention to small things to make your trip comfortable. She also cooks yummy food but be aware it costs 2000yen. She has a cafe during the day which sells super yummy smoothies - I definitely recommend the smoothies!

Coin-operated air conditioner which we weren't aware of.

A wonderful Place full of love, Friends and delicious food. ❤️❤️❤️

Comfortable beds - welcoming host, nice authentic food and nice, quiet location if that’s what you’re after

The AC in the room was coin operated, 100 yen per hour, I didn’t like this, and be aware it is around a 2km walk to any restaurants and shops (though it is very picturesque walk!)

Wonderful little home stay with a wonderful owner who makes the best meals. Simple homely rooms, an ice cream machine at your disposal, and the local cat make this place extra special.

Nothing, everything was great

The common dining area was very friendly and cozy to enjoy meals and mingle with other guests. The room was very comfortable with good mattresses and slept so well !

The bathroom could have storage cupboards or shelves to store your towels and clothes .

The host is a kind lady who is a local from the island and she makes homemade meals if would like to eat at the guesthouse. The place is clean in traditional Japanese style. The bed was a comfortable high matras. There is a ice cream machine and a coffee machine are available and as well equipment for snorkeling or chilling at the beach. Definitely recommend this guesthouse if you love peace and nature. Also I like the homemade smoothie with sweet potato and sesame seeds. Would recommend to go to the Furuzamami beach at this island for lively corals and fishes.

Local and really kind homeowner welcomes you in a traditional house with a common room and various individual rooms. It felt like HOME from the first moment. Great money for value and it´s also possible to buy cheap drinking water (and Cup Noodles) at this accomodation.

Toilets and common bath facilities in adjacent building and huge wash basin in slightly messy, but clean area in front of the house. Be aware that most restaurants (only in Zamami, >30 min. to get there by foot) may be closed during off-season and there´s only a basic supermarket, so I recommend the breakfast & dinner provided by the homeowner.

This was our most favorite stay of our whole Japan trip. The main reason for this was that it's a homestay. Our host Takago was sooo great, super super friendly, funny, cool & an amazing cook. Plus we got to meet many other nice travellers there and it was always a nice place to be. The food she cooked for us was amazing and super authentic. The island is small and you can walk almost everywhere. The island itself looks like it's a bit deserted. The houses aren't pretty and there isn't much, so don't be repelled by this. We were a bit suspicious at the start but in the end it was our very favorite thing!

The island itself had some trash on the beach and the houses looked a bit simple / half-built. But there is nothing about the Homestay that I didn't like.
