Holiday rentals in Kume Island

I was based in Eve Beach, so I am very satisfied.However, there are few shops around, so you can fully enjoy it if you rent a car.

I was allowed to spend very comfortably.There is also a sunroom where outdoor water and laundry where I wash my swimsuit and sandals, I used it.

Kaori-san was incredibly kind and approachable, ensuring I had the best possible time in Kumejima—and I truly did! She provided thoughtful recommendations tailored to my interests, all of which were spot on. The house has all the advertised amenities, is well-kept, and remarkably clean. It isn't brand new, but that’s exactly what I was looking for—a vintage charm reminiscent of Japanese movies from the 90s or the countryside settings in Studio Ghibli films. While many see Kyoto as the quintessential Japanese experience (and it’s great, of course), this felt more like my kind of place. One highlight was booking a snorkeling trip with Kaori-san’s husband, which turned out to be unforgettable. He took me to a secluded spot accessible only by boat, where I swam alone in peaceful waters. The quiet allowed me to encounter a sea turtle and swim alongside her, as well as colourful, amusing fishes. A perfect blend of hospitality, charm, and adventure.

This was probably one of my favorite B&Bs that I have stayed at. The host was incredibly welcoming, and the home was very unique. Admittedly, it isn’t very close to many of the popular locations on the island, however, due to the island size if you have a vehicle that shouldn’t be an issue. They also offered us bicycles to rent, which was very helpful in getting around. if I ever return to Kume in the future, I will definitely stay here again.

The room was cozy and I had a comfortable stay.

A truly marvelous place surrounded by lovely people, beautiful fields, and charming birds. We had a delightful stay at Shinminka and the host put us in touch with a very kind agency who rented bike and became our friends. If you need a relaxing poetic time I would definitely recommend this place.

It was very helpful to be able to rent a car.
