Modernist coastal pavilions
Five modernist pavilions hide within a subtropical coastal forest, offering absolute seclusion above the coral-fringed Yaeyama shoreline.
What it’s good at
What they say
Two Michelin Keys
Michelin
Jusandi is a distinguished piece of architecture, with a sublime natural setting to match …
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Private walking trails wind through the coastal jungle directly to secluded beaches and the coral cavern of the Blue Cave.
The rooms
Every villa opens to a private swimming pool, deep soaking tub, and daybed gazebo framed by Ryukyu limestone walls.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
Private turquoise pools look out past the subtropical canopy toward the sea from each villa terrace.
The tent sauna
A private tent sauna is pitched on the lawn for wood-fired heat sessions in the forest.
Dining Restaurant & Bar
Chefs serve Ryukyu-Italian multi-course menus of Ishigaki wagyu and local reef fish beside floor-to-ceiling forest windows.
How it began
Proprietor Yutaka Momiyama opened the retreat in 2013, choosing an Okinawan dialect word that translates to sunset.

Cared for at every turn. The bath is drawn before you ask.
Local
It could only be here. You wake up knowing where you are.
Social
Where the city goes out. The bar is full and the night is young.

A building with a story. Once a palace, a monastery, a station.
Wellness
You leave feeling new. Rest, sweat, soak and sleep like a stone.
Classic
The city grew up with it. Same rituals, same regulars, same bar.
Resort
A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
The scene
Lively
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Central
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.

Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
