Shima-Asana: A Private Yoga Retreat Featuring Traditional Okinawan Architecture

You can relax as if you were at home. The view from the rooftop is amazing. The floor plan and interior design follow the traditional Okinawan style. Tropical fruit trees, such as bananas and papayas, grow in the spacious garden.

Yoga classes are also available. The owner has been teaching yoga on Ishigaki Island for 8 years. A free 60-minute session is included each night. Choose a time slot between 6:00 and 20:00, and decide whether you’d like rooftop or indoor yoga. It feels just like a private lesson at home. Don’t worry if you’ve never tried yoga before, if you’re stiff, or if you have knee or back issues. The sessions are completely private, so you don’t have to worry about other people. We’ll tailor the session to our guests’ needs. English instruction is also available.

Shima-Asana means “island attitude.” Enjoy your time on the island, which has a warm, pleasant, relaxed, and calm atmosphere all year round. The villa is surrounded by lush greenery. You can hear birds singing and the sound of palm leaves rustling in the wind.
