ABOUT US
WHO WE ARE
PHUMULA
Greetings from Okinawa!
We are the owners of Phumula Okinawa and reside on the same property as the two guesthouses.
Shiro is a local from Okinawa, and Kirsten, is originally from South Africa. We live here with our twin daughters and our very energetic dog, Frankie!
Phumula Okinawa is part of Izumi Mango Orchard, a family-run farm established in 1988.
We speak both English and Japanese, and we love meeting new people and spending time with old friends.
If you have any questions about local activities, great places to visit, or local restaurants, please feel free to ask.
We also host a weekly Friday night Christian gathering, which you are welcome to attend. Let us know if you're interested, and we will gladly welcome you.
Thank you for your interest in our guesthouse and farm. We look forward to meeting you should you choose to stay with us.
Phumula Guest Cottage first opened its doors in February 2019. We decided to transform our old mango packing room on the farm after losing two large mango vinyl houses to typhoon damage in 2018.
Shiro's mother always believed, "This place is not only for farming but for tired people to rest, rejuvenate, and receive creative ideas from God. I want this to be a place where you can feel refreshed and leave invigorated."
Her dream has become our dream as well. As the owners, Shiro and Kirsten, we hope that our guests who stay here will find the space and time to rest and rejuvenate in this tranquil setting.
The name "Phumula" comes from the Zulu language of South Africa, Kirsten's home country, and means "rest" or "take it easy and slowly."
If you're looking for a place to pause, immerse yourself in the sounds of nature, breathe in the fresh air, and be surrounded by lush greenery, then we invite you to visit or stay at Phumula Okinawa.
