    “It was an experience beyond imagination.”

    I traveled alone and it was a dreamlike experience. At the snorkeling spot on the back side of the island, I had the experience of being surrounded by thousands of fish for the first time. Various people approached me and I was able to feel at ease even as a solo traveler. It was quiet, calm, and above all, clean. If you're okay with simple English communication, I highly recommend considering this place.

    “On a honeymoon.”

    There are few guest rooms, so there are also few guests. Each staff member diligently carries out their assigned duties. The meals may feel a bit expensive, but seeing the ingredients being transported to the island by boat and carried by the staff makes it understandable. Moreover, there are more staff members than guests. I do not feel any inconvenience except for shopping for snacks. I was able to relax on my honeymoon for four nights and five days. Besides the optional activities, snorkeling, SUP, and kayaking are available for free. You can also unwind by the poolside on the beach side. It seems that not many Japanese people know about this place, but I definitely hope they will visit.
