Villa Tottoganashi for rent, overlooking a spectacular beach on the secluded island of Kakaroma

This name embodies the chain of life that has been passed down on Kakeroma Island, as well as a spirit of harmony with nature and

a reverence for nature.

“Tōtoganashi” means “thank you.”

It is a beautiful phrase passed down in the Amami region that expresses “respect and care for others.”



In the morning, you’ll wake up to the beautiful “hyururururu—” call of the red-billed bulbul,

On the beach right before my eyes stands the “Tachigami,” radiating a divine presence.

A moment when you are simply captivated by the scenery.

Dive into the sea, and colourful fish and coral reefs will greet you; and if you’re lucky,

you might even encounter the leisurely swimming sea turtles that call the waters of Nishi-Amuro home.

At dusk, swimming while surrounded by the golden sea is the ultimate luxury.

And at night, lie back on the coral beach or terrace and

and feel the star-filled sky above you with your whole body.
