"An exclusive-use single-dwelling property on Fukue in the Goto Islands that invites guests to embrace a slower island pace with insider guidance from English-speaking owners. Interiors feature cloud- and wave-themed washi shoji screens, modernist wicker furniture crafted by Nagasaki artisans, and watercolor landscapes of nearby villages. Practical conveniences include a laundry machine, deep soaking tub, and a fully stocked self-catering kitchen (with the option to hire a local chef), and hosts can recommend emerald hiking trails, solitary beaches, friendly izakaya, and UNESCO-listed Christian churches." - Adam H.
