What is the Log House Like?
The log house is private and welcoming; it feels homely and reassuring. As soon as you enter the house, you are greeted by the wood’s pleasant aroma, which is comforting and refreshing. The log house is your own private space; enjoy a romantic couples’ getaway, a family vacation, or a trip with friends. Have a BBQ outside or use the kitchen for a dinner party in the lodge. As the lodge is self-contained, you can use it your own way. But hotel-like services can also be included, such as fresh linen changes and a bedmaking service.
The house is a 40㎡ 1LDK room with a cozy loft, popular with children. With a fully equipped kitchen, you can cook your own meals using fresh ingredients available on the island. You don’t have to buy or bring your own condiments as all the basics are provided. Try out Ishigaki Island’s locally produced salt, pepper, chili powder, and goya tea, all popular Ishigaki omiyage!
If you prefer to eat alfresco, a full BBQ set is available for free! Shop at the shotengai (local shopping street) nearby or the supermarket in the next town, or if you contact the owners in advance, for a fee, you can even ask them to provide fresh ingredients for your BBQ! Then all you need to do is grill! Don’t forget to buy some yummy island fruits, Ishigaki pineapples are the best! If you prefer to eat out, try Akaishi Shokudo, the most popular soba restaurant on Ishigaki, or cafe Churauma (popular for light meals and beach horse riding experiences!) nearby if you would prefer to eat out.
Bathroom amenities are also provided so you can pack a little lighter without having to bring your cosmetics! The cosmetics, too, are locally produced and can be purchased on the island for you to take a little of Ishigaki home with you and enjoy your sweet memories each time you use them.

Activities on Ishigaki Island
Ishigaki Island is a haven for beach lovers! With the beach just 5 minutes away, you can enjoy it to your heart’s content when staying at Akeeesi365.

A badminton set, parasols, snorkeling equipment, rubber rings, a kids pool, and even a telescope are stored in the house for your use!
Starry Skies
The area gets pretty dark at night, so the owners recommend you arrive in the daylight just to be on the safe side. But this means you can see a beautiful night sky full of stars on a clear day. Use the telescope to get a closer look at the Milky Way and spend a romantic evening on the beach!
A Nature Lover’s Paradise
Enjoy some marine sports, paragliding, scuba diving, SUP yoga, sailing, horseriding, hiking. There are endless options for nature lovers.
