    Great place to stay - large well equiped comfortable room.

    • Room with Tatami Area with Mountain View
    • Stayed 2 nights

    It was a little way out of the town - only 10 - 15 minutes by car. That was apparent when I booked it, but it did mean everything was a car ride.

    The room is large and comfortable with a counter for drink/light snack breakfast preparation. I think they did not offer breakfast or else I did not take it. But there was a kettle in the room and a microwave. They also had a small guest laundry which was helpful. The bed was very comfortable. They offered a Barbecue in the evenings which certainly smelled good but I did not try. They seemed very young family friendly with lots of baby/toddler stuff on the communal hall that the upstairs bedrooms were off. The Nepalese staff spoke excellent English, the owner very friendly and helpful. Note Google maps would send me back to the hotel by a narrow a circuitous route.

    I would have loved a coffee shop or seating area to sit out and enjoy however there may have actually been one and I missed it

    The location was out of the town however there was a large resort in walking distance. We found the owner so welcoming going above normal service to make sure we were comfortable. We loved that there were animals ( bunnies , ducks , small owl and horse. The room size and bathroom set up were very large and worked well for our family

    I would recommend renting a car to stay here. The taxi from the airport was a bit pricey and there are not any stores/restaurants that are reasonably walkable. With that being said we liked the privacy and enjoyed being away from the crowds.

    It is the cutest hotel. They have sweet little animals to welcome guests inside. The staff is amazing, especially Reika. She went out of her way to make us feel very welcome. The rooms are very much beach style with Japanese amenities including a heated bathroom floor and full size fridge. The beach is a beautiful 5 minute walk away. The room was very clean, the beds were comfortable, and the shower had amazing hot water with great pressure.

    The hotel is very nice and comfy with a great location (10 min walking distance from a beautiful beach with all the facilities you need - changing room, shower, etc). The staff is really nice and helpful and it was a pleasure having conversation with them. Once again, I would like to thank them for their kindness and availability. We had a so pleasant and great stay You should also try the BBQ dinner :) !

    Reika and staff were amazing. Exceptionally kind and helpful. They would even go out of their ways to help us reserve certain restaurants / activities in short notice (I found out that they drove to the city to try to reserve one particularly famous restaurant when it didn't take phone calls). English is not an issue which was also great. Room / facility was very clean and home-like. Everything was well organized. Location is right next to the Fusaki Beach which boasts a great sunset scenery, and quite close to Ishigaki port / city where you can enjoy many restaurants and local activities. Small things like renting Okinawa-style clothes for kids and snorkeling gear for free was also a plus. And the kids loved playing with the small animals (owl, bunnies, ducks, parrots, etc.). Definitely our hotel of choice next time we visit Ishigaki.

    Terrace is more like a balcony, while sitting you cannot enjoy the view Only a small Bento box for breakfast Hotel is recommended for pairs and families as you pay for the room and not for the number of people

    Big comfortable room, rental car for only 1.100 ¥, BBQ is tasty

    No pickup from airport although it was mentioned as an option on booking. We needed to take a bus into town and wait for a while to get another bus. Due to bus schedule we arrived at 14 but check-in is from 15. They had been fully booked but there was no flexibility and our room was not ready. There is no mountain view nor sea view. For the price and the remote location, you'll expect some leisure options, some space to relax and read a book like a garden, swimming pool or a common area. Nothing for kids either. Outside: You're in the parking lot. I personally don't like seeing an owl on a string, but otherwise they are good for their animals.

    Having your own transportation is recommended. There is a busstop nearby but there are only a few busses each day, so you need a cab at night to get back to the hotel from out of town (~1800Y). The hotel doesn't offer breakfast and has limited offer for dinner (nice btw). Friendly thoughtful staff, always around, working hard. Very clean and spacious rooms. There's a nice roof terrace to go stargazing when it's a clear night.
