Japanese inns and guesthouses on the islands

There are a few large hotels on the islands, but the Japanese inns and guesthouses are where visitors can experience the local cuisines, daily life and warmth of people on the islands. It is needless to say that the delicacies from the surrounding ocean are delicious. Come and enjoy the local cuisine, that is unique to the Oki Islands. Many of the places are small-scale operations, so it is recommended to make your bookings in advance.
Tajimaya, an inn in Ama-cho , strives for perfection by not only in serving fresh fish, vegetables and rice, but by making eggs, natto, and even miso in-house in an effort to achieve self-sufficiency. At dinnertime, the proprietress entertains guests with traditional, local folk songs and dancing, enveloping everyone in a warm atmosphere.
Strolling around the neighborhood you will realise that despite being close to the sea, there are rice paddies nearby, backyard vegetable gardens and free-range chickens. Visitors can see how the self-sufficient lifestyle of Tajimaya extends throughout the neighborhood.
