About this property

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

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.

Questo è il posto più incredibile in cui abbiamo mai soggiornato nella nostra vita! Grazie a Ken per l’incredibile ospitalità!!L‘host ci è venuto a prendere in auto al porto dell’isola e ci ha accompagnati in questa meravigliosa oasi di pace e tranquillità in mezzo alle montagne. Dopo averci spiegato ogni cosa in un perfetto inglese, ci ha salutati per farci trascorrere la notte in totale serenità. È venuto poi a riprenderci il giorno successivo all’orario concordato. Lo consigliamo a tutte le persone che abbiano voglia di godersi un momento di pace in una delle isole più belle del Giappone! Grazie Ken!!

Je ne pense pas que nous puissions décrire d’un simple commentaire le séjour chez notre hôte. Le séjour dans sa ferme a été au-delà de nos attentes en plus de l’agencement soigné des espaces dans la maison, les espaces extérieurs offrent une vue imprenable sur ce qu’il appelle si bien la Méditerranée japonaise. Kenji nous a donné les clés pour profiter pleinement de sa ferme. Ici il vous est offert une expérience unique en son genre.Nous partageons son implication et son amour de cet endroit qu’il chéri tant. Sans surprise, ce séjour dans la ferme nous a reposé et apaiser.Préparez-vous à une autarcie totale pour la durée de votre séjour. Et équipez-vous en conséquence, la cuisine et la salle à manger sont des espaces si conviviaux, qu’ils n’appellent qu’au partage d’un temps pour cuisiner! Finalement le seul point négatif de notre séjour n’aura été que nous n’avons passé qu’une seule nuit, mais nous reviendrons encore, Merci.Prenez le temps, profitez! Amicologiquement votre!

Esperienza unica

Fantastico soggiorno in questa fattoria sull’isola di Miyajima. Il posto è molto isolato, proprio per questo è davvero speciale. Puoi stare a contatto con la natura, in una struttura tipica giapponese che ti farà provare l’autenticità di questo paese. La vista poi è mozzafiato. Dopo tanti giorni di città, vi consiglio davvero un po’ di relax in questo posto

Beautiful stay

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.

Estancia perfecta

Estar en esta granja, rodeada del bosque de Miyajima, fue una experiencia inolvidable.Kenji, el anfitrión, fue muy amable y atento. Hablamos en inglés sin problema y me ayudó a entender mejor la cultura de la isla. Se nota que tiene mucha experiencia recibiendo viajeros y eso hizo mi estancia aún más cómoda.La casa estaba equipada con todo lo necesario, incluyendo una pequeña piscina exterior y un baño tradicional japonés que me encantó probar. Todo estaba impecable.Recomiendo este lugar a cualquiera que busque algo auténtico, íntimo y conectado con la naturaleza. Me voy de aquí renovado y con ganas de volver algún día.

Hébergement de l'autre côté du village de Miyajima en pleine forêt avec une vue incroyable sur la baie. Un accueil au top par Kenji qui parle français ce qui est agréable! Un lieu original, simple, inspirant, ressourçant! Nous avons rejoint le village à pied avec une balade de 2h seuls au monde c'était magique. On recommande pour ceux qui veulent découvrir Miyajima en ayant le temps de rester plusieurs nuits et de prendre le temps!

Está muy lejos del puerto de Mijajima, no hay transporte para llegar allá. El propietario nunca me envio detalles de cómo sería el check in. Llegue de noche, me comuniqué con él y dijo que me había mandado ese mismo día un Mail de que me estaba esperando. El Mail nunca me lo envió por antelación. Estando ahí le dije, yo puedo llegar sola solo dime cómo. No, no hay forma de llegar a la granja. El no estaba ahí. Muy mala experiencia. No me reembolsaron nada y tuve que gastar en otro hotel.

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!!!

An incredibly relaxing stay

We loved our time on Kenji's farm, in particular just watching the boats in the bay at night time and listening to the wildlife, especially while having the most amazing bath. Kenji was a fantastic host and made check-in and out super easy for us. Do make sure you bring your own food for dinner and breakfast as we didn't realise just how remote the farm is!

Authentisches Japan

Super Aufenthalt auf einem Bauernhof auf der wunderschönen Tempelinsel Miyajima abseits der Touristenströme. Der Hof liegt in mitten in der Natur, es gibt Weinreben und Gemüse das angebaut wird und zum Kochen genutzt wird, man kann herrlich wandern und hat einen schönen einsamen Strand. Ein Tag für Tempel und Berg reichen. Kenji ist ein hervorragender Gastgeber, zuvorkommend und hilfsbereit, ein Kunst- und Kultur liebender Mensch. Unser bestes Reiseergebnis. Einfach nur zu empfehlen.

Kenji picked us up from near the ferry port on Miyajima island after messaging a few days before to arrange with clear instructions. On the way to his farm, we had a lovely chat about his life and career as a translator, our lives, and Miyajima. He let us stop off to look at a beautiful view of the sea from the road. Kenji was an incredibly attentive host, showing us all around his vegetable patch, outdoor bath, and the traditional Japanese style room we were staying in. Everything was so thoughtfully considered and he explained it all, such as how the bedroom was styled in the traditional way to embrace shadows, very different to European decorations which centre on light. The evening we spent at the property was delightful - cooking our food, eating it at the table with a view over the Seto sea and reading as the sun set - later there was an incredible view of the moon above the water. The day after, Kenji picked us up from the farm and dropped us back at the ferry port. Our only regret about the trip to Miyajima is that we didn't stay for longer - if we were to do it again we'd have loved to stay another day and go down to the beach near the house or hiking a different trail. We can't recommend it more.

Pour un vrai moment de déconnection

Quel magnifique moment nous venons de passer chez Kenji, cet endroit est totalement magique pour une reconnexion totale à la nature et au calme. Le logement est très agréable et très propre avec une splendide vue sur les îles et les bateaux qui passent. Juste en bas de la maison vous découvrirez de magnifiques criques où vous serez seul entouré de daims avec une impression d'être le premier à marcher sur le sable. Kenji vient vous chercher à l'embarcadère et parle un excellent français. Donc si vous cherchez une jolie pause pendant votre séjour, n'hésitez surtout pas !

Serenity on miyajima

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.

Die Unterkunft liegt auf der gegenüberliegenden Seite des Hafens. Es ist auf dieser Seite der Insel die einzige Unterkunft. Allein vor diesem Hintergrund schon eine klare Empfehlung. Es gibt hier einige kleine Schreine und unberührte Sandstrände. Außerdem gibt es im Sommer wie Winter die Möglichkeit ein Onsen zu nutzen. Herr Nakano, der Besitzer ist sehr freundlich und fährt einmal am Tag vom Hafen aus hin und zurück zur Farm, er selbst lebt dort nicht, sondern pendelt jeden Tag, man hat die Farm also überwiegend für sich allein. Herr Nakano spricht sehr gut Englisch und fließend Französisch. Man kann von der Farm aus, bei körperlicher Fitness, in zwei Stunden zum Hafen gehen, jedoch nur mit leichten Gepäck. Wer einige Tage Zeit hat und abseits des üblichen Tourismus die Insel erkunden oder einfach nur ausspannen möchte ist hier genau richtig. Vielen Dank für den schönen Aufenthalt.

This was by far my favorite vrbo I have stayed in yet! Kenji was the best host, so helpful and kind. We spent our time star gazing, making dinners and soaking in the tub ❤️ the island its self is so mystical and full of rich history. We walked to the closest beach and swam in clear waters watching the fishing boats cruise by. Very peaceful. Couldnt recommended more!! Arigato kenji san!
