Holiday houses in Minamiosumi, Kimotsuki District

The best host we have ever had .They accommodated all our needs. When we discovered that no taxis could bring us the the ferry- Grandpa brought us to the dock- and refused to accept any money. Very clean place - windows let in fresh crisp air and sleeping was so comfortable in their bed. Plenty of room for our suitcases, washer available and a place to hang clothes on balcony and the cost was one of the least expensive in the city. Highly recommend. When looking to find the place- just know they are 5 or so minutes from the Kagoshima Chou stop. Centrally located to lots of great restaurants.

What a lovely lady! We were treated like royalty! When we left, after 2 very comfortable nights, we were given amazing bento boxes for our train journey. Also lots of other treats during our stay. If you are looking for a modern apartment this may not be for you…but we loved it.

The host was very friendly and accommodating. My check-in was later than expected due to airline/luggage issues, but she assisted despite my delayed arrival. She was very friendly and funny 😁

We had a fantastic stay here, the house is really cosy and comfortable, and the view is absolutely fantastic! I couldn't believe how beautiful it was, both at night and in the morning. We had breakfast on the wooden terrace, while admiring Sakurajima, and it was amazing. The hosts are incredibly friendly and kind, and made sure to welcome us and explain everything when we arrived, and then say goodbye when we checked out. They even gifted us some beautiful handmade coasters! We were thrilled with our stay, and hope we can stay here again in the future. Thank you again so much for everything!

What a beautiful place, the location along the coast in a quiet part of the forest, wonderful view of the ocean from a deck, inside, there is everything there that you need. In winter it can get cold, but it heats up quickly, nice bathroom, many thoughtful and beautiful decorations. The host couple were really lovely and helpful, and also open, insightful and inspiring. Thank you so much for having me and for the wonderful stay and chats!

A Hidden Gem at the Edge of Japan—Tucked away in a quiet town at the southernmost tip of Kagoshima, this beautifully restored 100-year-old kominka felt like stumbling into a dream. Once thinking this place had “nothing,” I discovered everything I’d been searching for — peace, beauty, and soul. Dean, the owner and creator (who once lived in India), spent four years transforming the house with his own hands. Every detail, from curated kitchenware to soft linens, reflects his incredible taste. It’s stylish, yet deeply nostalgic. I especially loved the vinyl listening corner — rocking chair, warm analog sound, and a view that stirs the soul. Outside, kids ran barefoot on a huge grassy lawn, laughter carried on the breeze. Dean’s private local tour revealed hidden spots you’d never find on a map — unforgettable. As vegetarians, we enjoyed cooking in the fully stocked kitchen and adored the optional vegan catering by a local chef. Rain or shine, this place gives you something rare: the f

It was a neighborhood with a beautiful view of the sea and mountains, and we had a safe stay.Thank you very much! Thank you for always responding quickly and politely, and for taking the time to discuss check-in and checkout times. If you have a chance to visit the skewers again, we'd love to have you back.

The husband is Japanese and the wife is Taiwanese. It is nice for Chinese speaker. Communication is key obstacle when traveling to less developed area in Japan, need to use translating app. The house is traditional Japanese style. It is big and clean with a well structured kitchen and a front garden. They provided bicycle which is good transportation to travel Ibusuki in slow pace. They had nice suggestions to travel around Ibusuki. As we were traveling to Yakushima. They also proactively checked and provided us the latest information about the ship 🚢.
