We stayed there in late October which is outside the main season. It was fantastic. Very quiet not only in ryokan as we were the only guests but on island as well. Ideal place for anyone who wants to get away from it all. Our stay was organise by Amy Chavez, american writer and journalist who has been living on the island for more than 20 years. In the Amagiso we were looked after by amazing lady who is the owner of the guesthouse. We had very spacious, Japanese style room with shared bathroom and toilets. Everything was very clean. Close to Amagiso is( walking distance) is located the grocery shop which is very well stocked. Our stay at this ryokan and Shiraishi island were the highlights of our trip to Japan.
We spent there 3 nights. It was fantastic experience as we were there in late October which is outside the main season. Our stay was organise by Amy Chavez, American writer and journalist who has been living on the island for more than 20 years. We were the only guests during our stay and were looked after by the amazing lady who is the owner of Amagiso. She cooked fantastic breakfast for us even though we paid only for the room. We had a great Japanese style room with sea view. Showers, toilets were very clean. Not far from Amagiso is the only grocery shop on the island where one can get almost everything. We enjoyed walking around the island. There are some very interesting hiking routes(small version of Shikoku pilgrimage route). Would recommend this guesthouse to anyone who seeks quiet, tranquil place.
