Winter offers an even richer experience than summer.

When people think of Goto Islands tourism, summer usually comes to mind. Even though my guesthouse just opened, we were bustling with all sorts of guests during the peak season. On the other hand, winter is our off-season. The reality is, there isn't much to do in Goto during winter, and mostly only serious fishing enthusiasts visit the island. That's precisely why we were able to share even more unique and fun experiences with the guests who chose to stay with us during that quieter time, perhaps even more so than in the summer!

Freezing bonfire dinner. Our pork miso soup warmed us right up.

Unlike the busy summer, winter allows me more time to spend with my guests. We explore various spots, introduce you to locals, and learn and play through unique experiences together. Most of these moments offer a value you can't find in typical travel, precisely because I'm here! Wait a minute, summer is amazing, but winter is also incredibly fun!

These photos are just the tip of the iceberg, of course.

For those seeking a deeper, more personal experience thanks to the owner's flexibility during the off-season, we'll be waiting for you next season!
