Itsukushima Other | A farm surrounded by the primeval forest on the goddess island of Miyajima

1 Bedroom Place in Itsukushima, Hiroshima

The farm is located on the island of Miyajima, one of the three most scenic spots in Japan and registered as a UNESCO world cultural heritage site. It is surrounded by a virgin forest on the sunny southeastern slope behind the sacred mountain "Misen", where it is said that the legendary Buddhist monk Kukai, also known as Kobo Daisi, trained in the early Heian period. The farmhouse is a vibrant fusion of Mediterranean atmosphere and classical Japanese interiors, where you would feel lost in wonderland.
As the owner worked as a Japanese-French interpreter in the French-speaking countries in Africa (Algeria, Tunisia, Senegal, Ivory Coast, Mali, Benin, etc.) for a total of more than 20 years and is fluent in both English and French, he thinks visitors from abroad could fully enjoy their stay without feeling any linguistic barriers.

Summary: The farm has a gorgeous view of the island and inland sea. Kenji is an interesting host who will pick you up from the port and pick fresh vegetables from his farm. Be aware however that the outside furo (bath) pictured on Orbtiz/Expedia is no longer in use which is very unfortunate because it was what drew us to this property. Also, the futon (bed) has no cover sheet so you are sleeping on a bare mattress which is not common at most inn's in Japan. Also know that you are expected to bring your own bath towel which I also have never encountered in all of my stays in Japan. I thought he was joking when I was told that it would be 300 yen per towel. Another awkward moment came while we were bathing in the semi open air bathroom in the morning. Kenji decided to have a business meeting with three other men right in our plain sight. We had to close the door and block our view to avoid seeing them and being seen. Overall a unique experience but one I would not to repeat.

Summary: My partner and I got to stay at this property for one night. 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.

Summary: 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!!!

Summary: 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

Summary: 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.

Summary: We have travels a lot, and Kenji’s farm is one of the most special places we have stayed. 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!

Summary: What an amazing getaway! We really enjoyed our stay at the farmhouse. Kenji made sure to pick us up from the ferry and we visited his neighbor’s farm on the way. Incredible opportunity for a relaxed weekend! And the views from the house are simply stunning.

Summary: Housing property is clean. 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…

Summary: Kenji picked us up from the ferry terminal and drove us to the farm, stopping to show us the beautiful scenery that lead to the property. 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.
