Have the Emerald-Green Ocean All to Yourself

Work, relax, and recharge in a place where the only sound is the gentle rhythm of the waves.

Located between Yakushima, Tanegashima, and Amami Oshima in Kagoshima Prefecture, the Tokara Islands are one of Japan’s most remote and untouched destinations. Takarajima, the southernmost island in the archipelago, is accessible by ferry from Amami Oshima in approximately three hours.

Facing one of the most beautiful beaches in the Tokara Islands, Takarajima Beach House offers breathtaking views of white sand and crystal-clear emerald-green waters. Outside of the summer swimming season, visitors are few, allowing guests to enjoy the beach almost as if it were their own private paradise.

The property features only one guest room, meaning the entire building is reserved exclusively for your group. For those seeking an even closer connection with nature, camping at the adjacent campsite is also highly recommended.

A Private Island Retreat with a Fully Equipped Kitchen

Inside the Beach House, guests will find a kitchen with a stylish bar-style counter, available for free use throughout their stay. Beyond the kitchen is a cozy bedroom furnished with three beds.

The restroom (equipped with a bidet toilet) and hot-water shower facilities are shared with beach visitors and are accessed from outside the building. A spacious terrace with tables and chairs overlooks the ocean, providing the perfect setting for remote work, reading, or simply unwinding with a cup of coffee.

Meals are not provided, but guests are welcome to bring their own ingredients or purchase essentials at local shops on the island.

Endless Activities—or the Luxury of Doing Nothing

The beach directly in front of the property is ideal for swimming, stand-up paddleboarding (SUP), and kayaking. Fishing can also be enjoyed from the harbor where ferries arrive and depart.

Guests may arrange guided tours to explore the island’s attractions, including its fascinating limestone caves. After a day of adventure, a relaxing soak in the island’s hot spring is the perfect way to unwind.

Yet perhaps the greatest attraction of all is simply slowing down. Sitting on the terrace with a coffee in hand, gazing out at the sea, and letting time pass peacefully is an experience unique to Takarajima.

Why Guests Love Takarajima Beach House

The Beach House’s beachfront location is its most celebrated feature. Situated away from the village, it offers a quiet and peaceful environment where guests can focus on work, enjoy uninterrupted relaxation, and take in spectacular ocean views.

In 2025, the property underwent a complete renovation, including upgrades to both the interior and exterior, as well as the installation of new restroom and shower facilities. These improvements ensure a comfortable and enjoyable stay while preserving the island’s natural charm.
