"I spent the final night of my 12 day visit to Japan here, and had the most wonderful time. First, you won’t find a more accommodating host than Kenji. He provided excellent communication throughout my stay and carefully walked me through everything about the property upon arrival. His English is excellent. It’s important to know that some preparation is needed to get the most out of your visit. First, as other reviewers mentioned, Kenji provides transportation to and from his farm and the ferry terminal. He graciously offered to bring me back to town the next day on my schedule, but if you are planning to visit the more touristy parts of the island, you should do so before he picks you up at 4pm or after he drops you back off, as there’s no option to return once at the farm. Kenji was exceptionally accommodating in this way, but it’s important to know in advance. Bring food as there’s no way to get it once you are at the property. Kenji shared vegetables from his garden from which I made a salad. You won’t need oil or seasonings, etc. but definitely bring the main ingredients. Finally, the property, which was so atmospheric it’s almost hard to put into words. From the moment we departed to the farm, it truly felt like I was living in a Ghibli movie. Kenji has put thought into everything. The outdoor cedar bath was incredible, as was the kitchen and tatami mat bedroom. There’s Wi-Fi, amenities, decorations, and more. Thank you Kenji, I can’t wait to return!"

"Best part is you are steps from the shrine. Dinner was in a private room. Hotel is on top of a creek with waterfall. Onsen was perfect. It was the crown jewel of our vacation. "
