On a small island, located 60 kilometerswest of Sasebo Port in Nagasaki Prefecture, you will find a distinctively Japanese landscape. Its charm derives from traditional Japanese houses called kominka that are scattered around the island. These houses were converted into unique accommodation and restaurants, giving visitors an unprecedented chance to experience a slice of traditional Japanese life.
