TAKETOMI ISLAND, YAEYAMA

Unravel
into island time.

A house the south wind passes through. Lanes of white sand.
Between sea and sky, stay as if you lived here.

Into the island's story

Touch the water's surface

Taketomi Island, now —:—

THE FOURTH VILLAGE

In another village,
live as the islanders do.

Lanes of coral sand thread between houses of red Ryukyu tile. Paikaji, the south wind said to carry happiness, drifts across the veranda. This is less an inn than another village, breathing with Taketomi Island.

01 — LIVE

Live in a house
the wind passes through.

All 48 rooms are stand-alone houses facing south. Under deep eaves you feel the wind, watching the island's day unfold, hurried by no one.

Time in your room

02 — DRIFT

Lose track of time,
at the island's heart.

At a waterside that mirrors the sky, swim, or doze in the shallows. Watching the light change hour by hour, let go of decisions, one at a time.

How island time is spent

03 — LISTEN

Listen to the depth
of the night.

Night on the island is when darkness is given back. Moonlight, insect song, distant waves. Dim the lights of your room, and the breadth of the sky draws near.

Into the night

Hours of doing nothing
become the journey's memory.

Tell the day not by the clock but by light and wind. Three island hours, given over to the rhythm of Taketomi Island.

A night waiting for stars

YOUR ISLAND TIME

Toward your next island time.

About 10 minutes by ferry from Ishigaki Port to Taketomi Port, then about 10 minutes more by dedicated shuttle bus. From the moment you cross the sea, the everyday begins to fall away.
