Oliver A.

5.0

Trail access made planning easy and the butler team kept things smooth. Evenings at Okas were a highlight and the herbal heat treatments were deeply relaxing.

Amelia S.

4.8

The Jomon Sugi trek is demanding but rewarding. Staff gave clear route tips and the lounge drinks before dinner were a nice pause.

Deniz Aydın

4.7

Editorial review: Between forest and ocean, well placed for guided hikes. Okas aligns menus to island produce; in peak periods, pre‑book dining and transfers to avoid queues.
