Located quietly at the southern end of Iriomote Island, Nakamagawa Pension is a transformed traditional house that offers an extraordinary and timeless space.
The wooden building has a history of approximately 100 years and is characterized by the typical Okinawan red-tiled roof. With only six rooms, each room has a unique and charming design. From the spacious veranda, guests can overlook the tropical garden filled with subtropical trees, allowing them to experience the tranquil flow of island life.
At night, guided tours are conducted in the primeval forest behind the guesthouse. Under the starry sky, guests can feel the unique nature of Iriomote Island, such as the Sagari-bana and the giant golden-crowned flying fox, up close. Detailed explanations by local staff allow guests to fully appreciate the charm of the island.
The simple yet charming homemade dishes made from locally harvested fresh ingredients are the highlight of the breakfast. Additionally, a 1-minute walk from the guesthouse, there is a shop where guests can purchase local ingredients and prepared dishes, offering the flexibility to cook on their own or to enjoy some snacks with drinks.
This pension is recommended for those who want to fully enjoy Iriomote Island. Why not immerse yourself in the island time and experience the extraordinary moments that cannot be enjoyed in everyday life?
