The recent work of Japanese architect Yasuhiro Yamashita of Atelier Tekuto is truly remarkable. He has dedicated himself to transforming the villages of his native Amami Oshima, opening Denpaku Inns – a collection of luxury accommodations set along the stunning coastal area. Recently, 13 villas have been opened as part of the DenPaku Beachfront Mijora expansion, situated on two separate plots.

These striking foldable wooden-roofed origami-like structures pay homage to traditional Amamian architecture, with each structure featuring a concrete base and minimalist interior. Floor-to-ceiling windows and sheltered terraces offer guests uninterrupted views of the picturesque surroundings – creating a truly peaceful and tranquil atmosphere. These majestic villas were designed with comfort and relaxation in mind, offering guests exquisite, luxurious, sophisticated, cozy, captivating, modernized, and serene stay experiences. Each meticulously designed unit is expertly tailored for unwinding in style, perfect for families or couples looking for that extra special treat. Whether it's lounging around in the spa or taking a leisurely stroll down to the beachfront – you'll be sure to create wonderful memories here.
