Kawai diving & fisherman's guest house

I will definitely come to this place again because the owners of Kawai guesthouse are very friendly. The rate includes breakfast and dinner. The dinner is really amazing, made from freshly caught fish of the day combined with local ingredients. The guesthouse is right on the beach, so you can enjoy your meal while watching the sea. If you are lucky, you can even see the deer on the island! My mother and I enjoyed our short stay very much. I will definitely come back next time to diving with their pet “Nine”!

It’s a nice place to stop for a beer or a glass of wine. The staff is friendly, but the prices feel a bit exaggerated. While you’re paying for the sea view, access to it isn’t always guaranteed when the place is full—yet the price remains the same.

Best spot on the island!! If you are a scuba diver, that’s the place for you! I don’t even know where to start… the hospitality is absolutely incredible! You can see Kawai (the owner) really love to host! Her whole family speaks perfect English and it was so helpful even when booking (book your nights at least 1-2 months before) she was very communicative and helpful. Her son was my diving instructor and they had all the gear for rent! He took me to amazing locations! The food!!! They have the best food in the whole island!! You seating there with amazing views and the food keeps coming 🤤😝😝 so delicious and Kawai takes pride of the food because she either grows it in her garden or it caught literally the same morning by the family! She showed me pictures, what made it extra delicious! Thank you for great hospitality 🙌🏼🙏🏽❤️

Our stay at Kuwai guest house was amazing. I spent there 4 nights with my boyfriend. The place is stunning: you always look at the ocean while eating the best food on the island. The guest house mum is a real cooking queen: she cooks with fruits & vegetables from the garden, always bakes fresh bread, and the fish is the best fish I‘ve ever eaten in my whole life. The rooms are cozy, clean and super quiet. We also love the diving day together with Kazumaru. He showed us some amazing caves around Aka. The most stunning reef of the island is just around the corner - 3 minutes to walk 🤿🐢 I would highly recommend this place. If you think about diving, snorkeling or just relaxing - go to Aka Island and book this accommodation! It was the highlight of our trip to Japan. Many thanks to the whole family to make our time on Aka and in Japan that special. 💫🙏

Kawai fisherman’s house is a great stay and a very good deal. The meals are incredible and filling. It is located close to the ferry doc but the owners provide pick up and drop off. There is good swimming in front of the stay. However, just a 20 min walk away and less are breath taking reefs. Glad we came, hope to come back.

Spend 2 nights there and it was amazing. The house is directly on the beach, the view from the terrace is amazing. The meal where delicious and very generous. I did 2 dives with them. The equipment is well maintained. The diving instructor was reassuring with divers that were less experimented. If you want to dive with them don't hesitated.

We were blown away not just by the shear beauty and simplicity of the place, but our hosts at Kawai Diving were amazing. The accommodations were simple but very nice and the meals to die for. I am so grateful we were there and this family now goes on our list of friends whom I hope to visit time and time again. Well worth the long boat ride to Aka Island. This is my number one must visit places and people whenever I am in Okinawa! Lucia and I love you guys!!!

The best stay in Okinawa. I am a solo traveller, and booked a single Japanese-style room. I was lucky to have the whole place to myself. There is a beach right out front, they pick you up from the ferry, and two meals are included, worth every penny, I can't imagine any better place to stay. I am vegetarian (no meat/fish) and the meals were adjusted for me and I was stuffed each night. Email for quick replies from the owners. All the photos are from either my window or the guesthouse deck. I brought my own snorkel gear though you can rent from them. I recommend renting a bike from the town to get around if you are 160cm+ (their bikes are smaller), but you can also walk around. Just stay here!!! Paradise!
