The Island, The Home
Thank you for staying at pono 118.
Yagaji Island is a small island of 8.12 km² with a population of approximately 1,100, located in northern Nago, Okinawa. Traditional villages remain, and the island's charm lies in its tranquil atmosphere where time flows slowly. It is connected to the main island of Okinawa by the Yagaji Bridge, and Kouri Island is just a 10-minute drive away.
Yohena, where this property is located, is a historic settlement on Yagaji Island where nature and daily life quietly harmonize. Archaeological sites dating back to the 12th century are spread throughout the area, with shell mounds that tell stories of ancient life.
this home was built
Built approximately 90 years ago, this traditional Okinawan home has weathered decades of tropical rain and wind. We have made only minimal renovations to ensure comfort while preserving as much of the original 90-year-old structure as possible. Please enjoy your stay, appreciating the charm of this historic home.
