If you are looking for a place to stay in Okinawa, you can't go wrong with Izena Island, where students are highly satisfied with their stay.

I had fun," "I wish I had more time," "I want to come back in the future."

There is a strange sense of togetherness in the students' impressions after their overnight stay experience on Izena Island. Izena Island is not just a destination, but a 'place that moves the heart. If you are looking for a private accommodation in Okinawa, you want to choose a place where students are highly satisfied. If you think so, Izena Island is a definite choice. That satisfaction is created by 'encounters with people' that cannot be obtained through sightseeing or play.

The one common comment from students is "I don't want to go home.

When we survey the students after their experience, there is a common refrain we see.

I don't want to go home." "I wish I could have stayed a little longer."

This is a true statement that comes not only because they enjoyed the experience, but also because they felt a connection with others. On Izena Island, students naturally open up to their hosts because of the close proximity. This turns into a sense of satisfaction that makes them want to come back.

It's not just "fun," but it leaves you with a sense of "self-initiative.

One of the reasons for the high level of satisfaction is that I was not passive. At the homestay on Izena Island, there are many situations in which students are on their own, whether it is helping with cooking, cleaning, or working in the fields. The feeling of "I did it," "I was appreciated," and "I was useful" in these activities leads to a sense of confidence. The students' satisfaction is greatly enhanced by the fact that they "tried" rather than "asked" to do something.

A relationship with a host with whom you can talk about your true feelings creates a mental memory.

The hosts on Izena Island are kind but not too distant, and they respect the pace of the students. Therefore, students gradually approach them. In the process, conversations naturally start, and sometimes students express their true feelings, which they would not normally be able to do so. The relationship built in this way will remain with the students long after the school trip is over. That "feeling of a relationship born" is the origin of the satisfaction of "wanting to see each other again.

A residential experience that will become an "event in your life" rather than a "memory".

Many memories of school trips fade with time. However, the overnight stay on Izena Island leaves not memories, but real experiences in the minds of students. They will write about it in their diaries, essays, and graduation books. There is definitely something that stays with them so that they can write about Izena whenever they feel like it. That is why they are so satisfied. It is not because it was fun. It is because there is a sense of having 'received' something important.
