Immerse yourself in the last paradise. "Kuganipi is located in the island's last paradise; the beach is so beautiful and you have it all to yourself. One can achieve inner catharsis here, and the owner is the kindest Japanese person I have ever encountered: always helpful, English-speaking, and such a knowledgeable, passionate guide. Everything is simply impressive. My stay has made me very humble about many things!”

"It's probably the best place to stay when visiting Iriomote island. Takamichi is a great host. He picked us from bus station and gave detailed information about village and island culture. Apartment is clean and very well equipped. It matters because there is only few restaurants and small shop on Iriomote so having your own kitchen with all needed utensils is a life saver. It's 50 meteres from the sea, so you have your own beach. You can also use Takamichi's kayaks and bikes for free. And apartment have private porch facing the seaside where you can relax and spent lazy afternoons. It may be not the cheapest place on the island but it's worth every cent. Plus you can ask Takamichi to prepare you breakfast. Even vegetarian or vegan :)."

“The true soul of Airbnb, a wonderful apartment with a patio on the back and an enchanting beach. Between the apartment and the beach there is only a thin strip of nature, the typical forest of Iriomote. The beach is very quiet and gives you the impression of being totally private, just for you. The island of Iriomote is wonderful and doesn’t need to be explained, a nature you won’t find on the Japanese main islands. Takamichi-san managed to create a perfect place to stay, very comfortable but at the same time immersed in the wild nature. He is also an official guide and can organise day-tours around the island, discovering the hidden gems in the heart of Iriomote jungle. A natural, organic breakfast can also be booked, and will be provided by the host himself, being it a traditional Japanese one or a western one. I will definitely come back to Iriomote and book again this place. Simply magical.”
