It was an easy and seamless process booking an apartment for my holiday on Houfy. The best aspect was that there were no extra costs. I saw the same place for more on other websites and saved money booking through Houfy. It really makes a difference and you can spend the additional saved money on experiences and/or tours.

Easy and seamless process

Houfy provided me with links to all communications with our host, allowed me to review the rental anytime and pay for our vacation without having to go back through and reenter info. The contracting practice was all online so I didn’t have to do any paperwork after the fact. Happy with the outcome!

Houfy platform worked well.

We’re the team behind ist villas, a growing collection of island homes on Kojima Island in Okayama, Japan.

ist villas was created with a simple belief: there is no single right way to stay. Some guests come to slow down, unplug, and enjoy digital detox in a quiet island setting. Others come to gather with friends, celebrate milestones, and enjoy the freedom of having their own space. Both are welcome here — without judgement.

Our villas are designed to offer choice. Privacy when you want it, shared spaces when you don’t, and just enough structure to make island living easy without feeling controlled. Technology inside the villas is intentionally limited to encourage presence, but connectivity is always available nearby when needed.

We live and operate on the island, and a team member is always nearby for assistance while respecting guest privacy. Whether you’re here to rest, reconnect, celebrate, or disappear for a while, the island makes room for it.
