Il posto è molto isolato, proprio per questo è davvero speciale. Puoi stare a contatto con la natura, in una struttura tipica giapponese che ti farà provare l’autenticità di questo paese. La vista poi è mozzafiato. Dopo tanti giorni di città, vi consiglio davvero un po’ di relax in questo posto ##### Fabio M.

Once we arrived, however, we wished we could stay another! This property is so magical, and the entire place is full of the host's personal artistic touches, like handmade tiles, and Ghibli-style lights around the bath-house.The one thing I would note is that the bathroom and toilet are separate from the main living quarters, so late-night toilet runs can be dark and cold! Bring someone to hold your hand. ##### Eden W.

Hablamos en inglés sin problema y me ayudó a entender mejor la cultura de la isla. Se nota que tiene mucha experiencia recibiendo viajeros y eso hizo mi estancia aún más cómoda.La casa estaba equipada con todo lo necesario, incluyendo una pequeña piscina exterior y un baño tradicional japonés que me encantó probar. Todo estaba impecable.Recomiendo este lugar a cualquiera que busque algo auténtico, íntimo y conectado con la naturaleza. Me voy de aquí renovado y con ganas de volver algún día. ##### Adrian P.

We had a lovely time enjoying the peace & quiet and waking up to a stunning vista of the sea and surrounding islands. ##### Fiona H. Stayed 1 night in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ashley 22 Apr 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The house is beautiful and Kenji-san is a fantastic host. The property is very rural, so you \*need\* to bring your own food/ingredients for dinner. Kenji-san will personally drive you to and from the ferry port. He also picked fruits and vegetables from his garden for us to enjoy. He even offered to take us to lunch at one of his favorite local places (normally unknown or inaccessible to tourists). Overall, Kenji-san was an incredibly kind, funny, and interesting man. He loves to talk about linguistics, art, and being a “baby boomer.” His English was great, and he is also fluent in French. I would rate Kenji-san’s farmhouse higher than 5 stars if I could!!! ##### Ashley Stayed 1 night in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Callum B. 18 Apr 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### An incredibly relaxing stay We loved our time on Kenji's farm, in particular just watching the boats in the bay at night time and listening to the wildlife, especially while having the most amazing bath. Kenji was a fantastic host and made check-in and out super easy for us. Do make sure you bring your own food for dinner and breakfast as we didn't realise just how remote the farm is! ##### Callum B.

Stayed 11 nights in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Clarice 26 May 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Kenji picked us up from near the ferry port on Miyajima island after messaging a few days before to arrange with clear instructions. On the way to his farm, we had a lovely chat about his life and career as a translator, our lives, and Miyajima. He let us stop off to look at a beautiful view of the sea from the road. Kenji was an incredibly attentive host, showing us all around his vegetable patch, outdoor bath, and the traditional Japanese style room we were staying in. Everything was so thoughtfully considered and he explained it all, such as how the bedroom was styled in the traditional way to embrace shadows, very different to European decorations which centre on light. The evening we spent at the property was delightful - cooking our food, eating it at the table with a view over the Seto sea and reading as the sun set - later there was an incredible view of the moon above the water. The day after, Kenji picked us up from the farm and dropped us back at the ferry port. Our only regret about the trip to Miyajima is that we didn't stay for longer - if we were to do it again we'd have loved to stay another day and go down to the beach near the house or hiking a different trail. We can't recommend it more. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/5135c283-489c-4752-bd64-786aa0f3ca09-1748300634576.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Clarice Stayed 1 night in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Frederick R. 8 Apr 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Serenity on miyajima This was my second trip to the island and I wanted to stay overnight this time without dealing with hordes of other tourists and looking for something on the quiet side. This is a farm on the far side of the island under the shadow of the mountain top with the most excellent view of the surrounding clear blue waters. There is a comfortable Japanese style bed, a hot bath and shower, a well equipped kitchen and a relaxing lounge. The host will pick you up at the ferry visitor info booth and drive you to the farm. Once there he will give you the grand tour and select vegetables for you to have a salad for your dinner. You have to bring your own proteins to cook for your dinner. I was able to take a hot bath whilst he sun set, then cook a chicken and pork dinner with a fresh garden salad. Then I relaxed under the stars until it was time for bed, where I retreated to the futon to sleep Japanese style. In the morning I had eggs for breakfast while the rising sun illuminated the sparkling blue waters of the surrounding sea. ##### Frederick R.

Kenji was the best host, so helpful and kind. We spent our time star gazing, making dinners and soaking in the tub ❤️ the island its self is so mystical and full of rich history. We walked to the closest beach and swam in clear waters watching the fishing boats cruise by. Very peaceful. Couldnt recommended more!! Arigato kenji san! ##### Sophie S.

The land itself is incredibly serene - the view of the sea from every part of his property, all while being at the foot of Mt Misen - the landscape was legitimately inspiring. And the house itself is perhaps even more beautiful - so conscientiously designed. Obviously, the wooden hot tub/shower and outdoor areas are a highlight (we saw snow falling from the tub!) and the kitchen is one of my favorites I’ve cooked in, but so many little touches throughout. It has everything you need, and Kenji is such a supremely thoughtful and attentive host. Went out of his way to transport us, answer our many questions about the place and land, and sincerely offer the chance for connection. We also explored the surrounding area, the beach that’s just a 1/4 mile walk is stunning, and the run I took on the road from the house was one of my all time favorites. This place was the perfect way to s l o w d o w n after a lot of big cities on our Japan trip. I sincerely cannot recommend it enough. I am tempted to book a return trip to Japan just to stay at this place. Come visit, and thank you Kenji! ##### Mike Z.

It’s a farm so the bathroom is separate from the main house. The house has a nice kitchen to use and tatami bedroom. There’s a multi purpose room in the basement level but we didn’t use it. The farm wasn’t upkept but the owner said he’s changing the crops. The Bedroom view is beautiful and Sound of crickets/frogs at night loud but peaceful as there’s nothing around… ##### Teresa L.

He was kind and talkative which made us feel like he was happy to have us stay at his farm. Upon arrival, we were taken aback at the beauty of the farm and the surroundings. The room, the bathroom, the kitchen and tea room were all beautiful with views and charm. It was an incredibly relaxing and peaceful experience to stay there. At the discretion of Kenji’s availability he was able to drive us to town so that we could visit the shrine which was a great way to see both sides of the island. The sea is super close and very swimmable. ##### Seraphin Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Joshua 15 Dec 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Kenji-San has a lovely farm that is the perfect mountain side retreat for some quiet and solitude! The Japanese cedar bath is enough reason alone to book! The best bath I’ve ever had! Not only that but Kenji-San was very flexible and accommodating with my arrival and departure. He even offered me vegetables from his farm to go along with the food I had brought. They were so fresh and delicious! This is the perfect place to get away and refresh yourself in the elements. I wish I could’ve stayed longer! ##### Joshua Stayed 1 night in Dec 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Barbara M. 13 Apr 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### An escape from the crowd Kenji has built a lovely house on the top of the hill with a beautiful view on the sea. It lies at 9 km of the city center with no connection by bus. Make sure to shop your food before getting to the island as there are 2 small convenience store on the island. To go to the city, Kenji will drive you (conditions to be defined) otherwise it is a nice 2-hour walk along the coast. ##### Barbara M.

Le logement se situe en pleine nature, loin du village, vous serez entouré par les arbres, la montagnes et la mer. Le soir vous n'entendrez que le bruit d'un ruisseau tout proche. Situé sur l'ile de Miyajima, vous aurez de quoi faire entre visite de monument, randonnée au mont Misen et gouter les spécialités locales. Je recommande chaudement, idéal pour une virée en amoureux pendant la saison des cerisiers en fleurs. ##### Anis C.

Everything you need in the kitchen to cook with. The outdoor bathhouse is one of the best features of this house. We very much enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere soaking in the tub. The farm garden is great. So wonderful to go out and pick fresh greens to go with dinner. It would be helpful to revise the description of the property to alert potential clients of the remoteness of the farm if you have no car; you will need to bring all your own food. We had no idea we were not near town or a grocery store. Since we had no car we had to rely on Kenji for rides back to town. He was very accommodating with the transportation. Overall, a very magical place to stay. ##### Emilia F. Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mariah 16 Apr 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Can’t speak more kindly about my experience. I booked this place last minute, so I wasn’t quite sure what to expect. The property is not accessible by walking, so the host instead coordinates to pick-up and drop you off from the Miyajima ferry port. He’s extremely friendly and kind, and the about 10 minute drive was spent talking about the island, and friendly conversation. After we arrived he toured me around the farmhouse property, and made sure I knew how to use everything and that I had all I needed and more before he left. The property’s interior is beautiful traditional Japanese architecture, with a lot of art and spacious rooms. The main living space has a bedroom upstairs with tatami and futon beds, and a basement area with an iori-style table/center furnace that is beautiful. Next, there is a full kitchen with windows that lift up to a bar in the breakfast/living room, which has classic shoji (sliding doors) that open to a small engawa porch. It’s a perfect spot to sit, enjoy your coffee, and watch the sun rise over the view. The bathhouse area with the traditional Japanese soaking tub was also amazing, again with shoji that can be opened to fully enjoy an open air bath with the scenic view. Don’t book expecting to be able to walk to the Itsukushima shrine or shopping, but certainly book if you want to spend some time in a beautiful traditional farm home and enjoy the scenery and surrounding nature on this historic island. It feels magical. 10/10 ##### Mariah Stayed 1 night in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Eva N. 1 Jun 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Refreshing Nature Retreat Our favorite stay of our entire trip was Kenji’s beautiful farm. It was the most perfect retreat in nature, where you could hear a waterfall, birds, and we even saw monkeys! The farm has all the modern conveniences and interior design. The open air bath was the cherry on top, where you could fully relax in nature. It was so peaceful. Kenji was the perfect host! He picked us up from the ferry terminal and gave us fresh vegetables from the farm. It was great chatting and getting to know him! He put a lot of hard work into the farm and it shows. I could not recommend this stay more highly. We had a perfect time and will definitely be back again. Our only regret was not staying longer. Thanks Kenji! ##### Eva N.

The house overlooks the lovely garden, with a view of the island-dotted sea beyond. Birds and a fast running stream serenaded us throughout the visit. The coarse sand beach with beautiful views is a 15 minute walk from the farm and we were the only people there. We cooked our own meals (bringing our own food and drinks) and Kenji supplied us with abundant fresh produce. The kitchen was fully equipped and we cooked looking out at the sea. Another highlight was bathing in the cedar hot bath while looking out at the stars at night - our own personal night sky onsen! Kenji is a world traveler, intellectual, creative and interested in trying new things. He shared some of his new projects and showed us around the town before we had a goodbye lunch together. Kenji transported us both ways from/to the ferry. We had a lovely stay and felt refreshed. Thank you Kenji! ##### Carol B.

I feel so incredibly lucky to have gotten to stay on this beautiful property and to meet Kenji-san, (a.k.a. Eco-Friendly Ken), who was a fantastic host. This was without a doubt the highlight of our trip to Japan. We arrived at the ferry terminal on Miyajima, where Kenji picked us up and drove us to the other side of the island. We even stopped along the way so he could show us the majesty of the Sento Inland Sea and tell us more about the surrounding area. When we arrived at the property itself, it was absolutely breathtaking. Just above the farm, and a soon-to-be vineyard, lies the guesthouse and bathhouse. The house has a stellar kitchen and the bedroom has a window looking out to the sea. Kenji made sure we knew everything we needed to know about the property, and even took us down to the farm to select fresh vegetables for a salad. (It was the best salad I’ve ever had). The bathhouse is traditional and absolutely charming — unsurprisingly it was also the best bath I’ve ever had. We felt so welcomed and taken care of, it truly felt more like staying at the house of an old friend. We can’t wait to come back when the winery is up and running! If you’ve been lucky enough to stumble on this listing, this is your sign to stay at Kenji-san’s place and experience the untouched beauty of Miyajima. ##### Emily E.
