The location was fabulous. It was the high point of a wonderful trip in Japan. My accommodation was a bungalow in a rural location and I went stargazing at night, literally walked out my door. In addition, there were lots of giant frogs to see (albeit poisonous!). The hosts were great, collected me from the port and took me to the supermarket as there are no shops near the bungalows. I also got instructions on how to use the microwave, cooker, etc., and got a timetable for the local bus. On departure my luggage was dropped off in the town while I was out sightseeing. The bungalow was spotless, had Wifi, a great shower, comfortable bed, etc. I would highly recommend this location.

It's a few shared bungalows in a remote area of Chichi-Jima island, and you're in the middle of nature. For me what really made the stay fantastic was the staff and other guests. Important is to understand the location, are there are no stores, or shops at all nearby, other than a coffee place. So, you have to plan your meals and drinks ahead of time, if you have a car then you can be anywhere on the island in 15 minutes. Personally I used a bicycle to get around but there are strong slopes and it can be rough but also fun going downhill. It's near Kominato beach, one of the most beautiful beaches on the Island, great for swimming and snorkeling. There is WiFi and mobile service works okay too.
