  Was noch ...

  You will be able to go with us on all of our activities and learn how to skin dive, surf and kite board if you are interested! We go all around the island to do these activities and sometimes to secret spots that only locals know, so you'll be seeing a lot more of the island than most tourists do!
  My guesthouse is located in a resort area, so there are many beautiful beaches within walking distance. There is a bus stop within a 5-7 min walk that can take you directly to Naha, Chatan, Yomitan and Nago as it runs on the main road 58.
