With the necessary approvals from the authorities now in place, we are pleased to announce that Nohoho Residence is now open. For the time being, as with Villa Nohoho, we will be accepting reservations via Instagram DM, email or phone. Contact us for availability and rates.
Located in the nature-rich north of Ishigaki Island, Nohoho Residence has been created as a fully private, modern accommodation for those who wish to experience the island in a more personal and independent way. Designed for living—in harmony with nature—it offers a space where guests can settle into the natural rhythm of their surroundings, whether for rest, exploration, or a more flexible way of working.
While we aim to offer a high-quality stay, as a single stand-alone villa Nohoho Residence provides a more authentic alternative to larger resorts—one that emphasizes privacy, simplicity, and a closer connection to the surrounding environment.
In addition to accommodation, the space may also be available for small exhibitions, workshops, and other intimate events that align with the atmosphere and concept of Nohoho Residence.
In recent months, we have carefully completed the interior and prepared the facilities to welcome guests. At the same time, the garden continues to evolve as an ongoing project. Plants, trees, and herbs will be added and nurtured over time, allowing the outdoor space to gradually develop its own character alongside the residence itself.
One final improvement remains in progress. While the property enjoys 4G mobile connectivity through local service providers, the installation of a dedicated Wi‑Fi connection is still underway. We expect this to be completed in the near future and appreciate our guests’ understanding during this initial phase.
Nohoho Residence stands next to Villa Nohoho, yet offers a distinctly different experience: a fully private retreat designed for those who wish to enjoy Ishigaki at their own pace and in their own way.
We look forward to welcoming our first guests and sharing this new chapter with visitors from Japan and around the world.
