This family-run place in the south of Oshima has just two bedrooms, so it feels cozy and quiet. Everything was clean and tidy, the bath had everything we needed, and we really enjoyed the library room. The owners suggested a few small shops and places nearby, and even drove us to the port after checkout. Such a nice stay, thank you! I wouldn’t recommend cycling there. Rent a car if you can, or take the island bus. The Ue no Yama "ue no yama" stop is only a 5-minute walk from the house.

It’s a comfy, cozy little guesthouse on the southern side of Izu Oshima. It’s a bit out of the way, which also makes it really quiet and private. There are a few restaurants around, but the area is pretty sparsely populated. I’d get there early and make reservations with the local restaurants, or stop for groceries on the way, since the guesthouse has a kitchenette for guests.

The owner is really kind and helpful, and you can have a barbecue here too. If you want a place that feels like home, this is a great choice when visiting oshima.

The shared kitchen was great, with plenty of condiments, stylish tableware, and even instant coffee. The bathroom was a little dated but still perfectly usable, and having unlimited comics to read was fantastic. The place had been beautifully renovated. We picked a Japanese-style room, which was more than roomy enough for two adults and two children, ages 7 and 5. The owner was very kind and took the time to explain everything patiently.
