|| About the Founder of OkinawaGate Inc. || At the age of 22, he set off on a 520-day van life journey across Japan. During his travels, he was deeply touched by the warmth of the Okinawan people and the raw, powerful beauty of the Yanbaru forest—so much so that he decided to move to Okinawa. Through connections with the local community, he met the owner of Yumeumin Farm, the land where Hidden Villa now stands. There, he took on the challenge of restoring a traditional Okinawan house that had been damaged by a typhoon. At the age of 24, he founded OkinawaGate Inc. and launched Hidden Villa as a private retreat in nature. To fully embrace the healing power of the land, he personally built an open-air bath, a private sauna, and a relaxation deck—all handcrafted with the guest experience in mind. Now, in this peaceful haven far from the rush of daily life, he welcomes guests with heartfelt hospitality.
