Yakatajima is a remote island located in southern Oita Prefecture, approximately 10 minutes from Kamae Bay in Saiki City. A small settlement lies at the foot of Mount Ryuo in the center of the island, and the islanders make their living from fishing.
Benzaiten is enshrined at Itsukushima Shrine deep within the settlement, and Mount Ryuo is said to be the site of the Eight Great Dragon Kings.
Unusually for a remote island, the island is blessed with abundant, clean groundwater.
This quiet island is home to a population of 14. Come with an empty mind to experience the island's laid-back atmosphere.
Yakatajima Guesthouse is an empty vessel that welcomes guests to the island. We offer an empty space and a few activities. Come with your imagination.
*There are no shops or restaurants on Yakatajima. Please be sure to bring your own food and beverages.
