Each unit is fitted with air conditioning, a shared bathroom and a well-fitted kitchen including a microwave, toaster, fridge and a stovetop. Kitchenware and kettle are also featured. At the guest house, the units come with bed linen and towels.

From arrival, Kishaba-san went out of his way to invite me to the local Kyuubon celebrations over the next few nights, and while there he introduced me to his family and a couple others. When I left to Naha and stayed at another hostel, I felt surprised by how much more comfortable and welcome I felt staying at Kishaba. Amenities are suitable, location is great, facilities are wonderful. The bed is comfortable, spacious, and private. Above all though, staying here made my trip to Ishigaki that much more memorable.

This property offers access to a terrace and free private parking. The accommodation offers luggage storage space and bicycle parking for guests.

Amazing accomodation! The location is superb, next to a lush green jungle and only 5 minutes from the nicest beach. Yes, it's a bit far from downtown, but we made it work even without hiring a car. The rooms are beautiful and have nice terraces. The family running it is amazing. We also had an excellent breakfast every day. Can't imagine a better place to stay!

    Modern, very clean and well-maintained guest house with good facilities in a quiet residential location. Good value for money, and a short walk from a bus stop.

    The property is located in a lovely, quiet part of the island and has a beautiful garden. It’s a real paradise for nature and wildlife lovers. The host, Shizuka, could not have been kinder or more helpful. She helped us make restaurant reservations (a must during low season), book activities and had lots of great suggestions for things to do. Flipper the cat was also a delight! The property was clean, cozy and has all the amenities you could need including the option to rent a BBQ on the terrace which we loved. We hope to come back again soon.

    Friendly, hostel-type vibes but quiet, clean and spacious - at least in my private 2-double-bed room. You can hear the crickets at night which is quite soothing. A great beach guesthouse! Gon, the owner, greeted me personally, helped me to park my car and sat down with me to show me a map of the local area and give recommendations. He even made some suggestions for what to do on Iriomote Island when I went there after Ishigaki. Laundry facilities with drying space on site. A few restaurants and bars nearby - walkable.

    We liked everything about this spacious property. It’s in a great location with its own private garden and beach. The accommodation has everything you need and the hosts, who live nearby, were fantastic and helped us organise kayaking, helped when we had an issue with a hire car and introduced us to local cultural events.

    The staff was particularly kind, smiling and helpful. They helped us on more than one occasion and were fundamental to the success of our stay in Ishigaki. The position of the hotel is fantastic if you need to catch a ferry to the other islands and it's also near lots of places to eat. We made good use of the laundry, cheap and easy to use. The room was clean, well furnitured and very quiet (if you keep the windows closed). Good air conditioning. Good breakfast, we particularly appreciated yogurt with cereals.

    Cheap-as-chips little guesthouse-cum-business hotel, right near the port. Walkable from all of Ishigaki's nightlife, too.

    Cozy guest house close to Kabira bay which is a beautiful and more remote area compared to Ishigaki city. The staff arranged pick up from the airport for us and also organized a private room for the one night we originally could only get dorm beds. The location is very quiet and green, as we were hoping for. It is possible to rent bikes for free and you can also rent a car there. The bed was comfy and we had a really nice view. Everything was very clean! Also perfect spot to go out for diving in Ishigaki.

    Small, pokey little hostel-type place. But if you can bag one of the cheapy-cheap private rooms, you've got yourself a bargain.
