Enjoy the island time of Ishigaki Island, a healing private house for rent.

Ocean View House Amala is a private, whole-house villa that lets you escape the daily grind. Just gazing at the ever-changing colours of the sky and sea, you’ll feel your mind unwind.

The kitchen is fully equipped with cooking utensils, so you can prepare island vegetables and fresh fish purchased at Ishigaki Island’s farmers’ markets and local markets to enjoy a breakfast of your own creation. Sipping coffee leisurely on the terrace while gazing out at the ocean is a luxury like no other.

There are also many charming tourist spots in the surrounding area. About a 15-minute drive away, the beautiful emerald-green waters of **Kabira Bay** stretch out before you, and the underwater viewing from a glass-bottom boat will captivate both adults and children. At Yonehara Beach, you can enjoy snorkelling alongside colourful tropical fish.

One place you’ll definitely want to visit during your stay is “Arakawa Falls.” Located about a 1-minute drive (or a 15-minute walk) from Amala, this waterfall stands quietly amidst a lush, green forest and is a “power spot” well-known to locals. As you walk along the trail, the waterfall comes into view; though not large, its tranquility and beauty will captivate you. In the summer, it’s the perfect place to cool off, soak up plenty of negative ions, and refresh yourself.

Another spot worth visiting by car is the Tamatori-zaki Observation Deck. Located in the northeast of the island, it offers a breathtaking view of the gradation of colours between the sky and the sea. In the afternoon, you can enjoy a leisurely island experience by hopping from one local café to another or savouring Ishigaki Island’s speciality, “Yaeyama Soba.”

At night, enjoy the starry sky—a sight unique to this area with minimal light pollution. Spending time chatting on the terrace while gazing up at the star-filled sky with an Orion beer, awamori, or wine awamori in hand is sure to be a highlight of your trip.

Ocean View House Amala stands quietly, blending harmoniously with Ishigaki Island’s natural surroundings, offering visitors the “luxury of doing nothing” and “time to reflect on oneself.” Whether with family, friends, a partner, or just yourself—it’s a special place that caters to every kind of stay.
