Experience of the stay
I have visited Miyakojima several times, and my theme is always to cook with local ingredients and enjoy healthily while focusing on beauty at night. I wished to stay for a week, but due to scheduling, three nights was all I could manage, so I used my accumulated Hafh coins for a slightly luxurious place.
The area around this private villa is very quiet, with nothing nearby.
Although the sea is close, it isn’t suitable for swimming and you can't see the sea from the room.
There is no front desk, and the villa doesn't have staff, so the check-in system is to receive the key at a hotel in town.
Therefore, I sent some staple seasonings in advance to receive them at the hotel along with the key.
The room is simply wonderful, making it comfortable to cook with the ingredients bought and enjoy the private terrace's jacuzzi that feels luxurious and spacious.
The night jacuzzi is so pleasant that you can stay in as long as you want. I bought special finely powdered snow salt for esthetic purposes from the snow salt museum and did body care and teeth polishing - it was amazing.
Even if the weather doesn’t cooperate and I can’t go to the beach, I can still think ‘oh well’.
Since the television doesn’t have terrestrial broadcast, you can escape from reality. (laughs)
The kitchen has a large refrigerator (it’s recommended to buy ice) and is perfectly equipped with cooking utensils and cutlery.
The stylish Balmuida kettle and cassette-style coffee machine are exhilarating.
Next to the kitchen is a washing machine (with detergent) that allows you to wash your swimsuits, towels, and change of clothes easily, which is a big help.
Location-wise, it is a bit of a distance to get anywhere, but that’s part of the fun of Miyakojima.
Even cooking with ingredients from the market, roadside stations, or supermarkets, the room is photogenic.
Just grilling meat or cutting and serving fruits makes for fun times.
I would love to visit again for a relaxing stay.
Experiences during the trip
When you arrive at the airport, start with checking the local market and roadside station for fresh ingredients. Supermarkets like San-A and Kanehide are good options.
Think about the quantity you will consume during your stay while shopping.
After a light breakfast, head out, return early in the evening, quickly prepare and enjoy dinner, and then relax in the jacuzzi or enjoy an oil massage and a special pack.
It's quite a luxury to spend leisurely time with ingredients filled with the strong energy of Miyakojima.
Although the weather wasn't great, I was able to buy cheap sea grapes from the shop at the Ikema Ohashi bridge, and enjoyed snow salt soft serve with various flavored salts at the snow salt museum, as well as affogato. The underwater park was a great place that I might not have visited if the weather was nice.
On the way back, I enjoyed fresh sugar cane juice at 'Kibi Chaya', and I understood why people kept coming to this mysterious shop in the middle of the fields. It was incredibly enjoyable, delicious, and highly recommended.
I also visited the very popular cafe 'Kuninaka Shoten' on Irabu Island and went to my top pick, 'Wadoguchi no Hama'.
It was sunny while I was at the beach, and thankfully, my skin turned bright red. Don't underestimate the sunlight in Miyakojima!
Although there aren't many flashy fruits in Miyakojima from winter to spring, there are delicious melons available, and this time I also tried strawberries, loquats, and figs. Mangoes are frozen.
There were many varieties of cherry tomatoes available, which was quite impressive.
When I went to the fishing port of Irabu Island to buy fish, there were no catch available, so I couldn't buy anything.
I consoled myself with freshly fried tuna tempura. (laughs)
If you get tired of staying in a luxurious resort hotel with rich meals, I recommend trying to stay as if you were living there♪
