Hotel ハイビスカス/Hibiscus

It was Miyakojima and Hotel Hibiscus that I visited again after 7 years ☺️ Techan, the cute staff, Minachin, まなちゃん, and the people I stayed with were all nice people, so I made great memories and had a comfortable rest this time. I was grateful for the warm welcome I received this time, as if I was visiting my hometown or a relative's house!With the introduction of direct flights, it seems like a lot of Koreans are coming here. Hotels and resorts are good, but I would like to recommend it to those who want to experience the local feel vividly. If you request dinner in advance, Tetzzang will prepare a local meal and, if the weather is good, take you on a snorkeling tour. (There is an additional charge) If you walk a little at night, you can see the stars and the Milky Way, and there is an observatory nearby, and you can also walk to a cafe called Panipani, famous for its red bean shaved ice.I want to go again 🩷

This is a guesthouse run by a cheerful owner.- People in the dormitory are not allowed to stay in the living room late at night, and must sleep in their beds.・Communication can be a little stressfulI thought it might not be compatible with some customers.

“Kurima Island’s only guest house!!”This guest house is the best.First of all, the owner is very friendly and pleasant. Manami, who is currently a staff member, is also very kind and kind. The location is at the entrance to Kurima Island, so if you're in a hurry, you can get there by taxi at a reasonable price.It's about 2500-3000 yen from downtown.I look forward to every night in the living room.We laugh and chat with friends from each country, share our plans for the next day, make plans together, go snorkeling, and go to festivals.I made several good friends and we still keep in touch. As long as you are proactive and cheerful, you don’t have to be good at Japanese or English!The price is very good and hygiene is better than in older buildings.However, it's a bit hot lol Other than that, it's the best.Nonetheless, I stayed here for 3 nights.In particular, a star festival that is on a different level from downtown Miyako is held every night.Hundreds and thousands of stars are visible just outside the yard of the accommodation.If you are lucky, you can observe shooting stars several times a day.

Used double room. There is also a dormitory. There is also a kitchen. There is also a breakfast of white bread. There are certain days of the week where you have to order dinner by noon (write it in your binder). Tecchan (owner) will make it for you! Api is cute too 💞 I'll bother you again ~ This time the rainy season is over!Hari on June 9th (Okinawa all-size festival?) was interesting. 20240609

It's a shame that you have to pay a separate fee to use the air conditioner. However, the owner is cheerful and kind and answers questions in English.

I chose this because I wanted to stay in an old Okinawan house. Enjoy dinner around a table with the talkative owner and other guests. Recommended for those who want to talk with various people.On this day, we had gapao rice, mozuku vinegar, bitter gourd, and tofu with sesame dressing. All of them were very delicious.

I think everyone is attracted to Tecchan's power and personality. I'm sure I'll go again!

[5th ​​time]This is the 5th review, skipping the 4th. We stayed for 2 nights in late October 2023. At this time of year, the morning and evening breezes were cool, making it more comfortable than I expected. The guests this time were all unique people, and all of them were from professions that you wouldn't normally meet in your daily life. So, with the owner's lead, we have a lot of fun chatting in the living room morning, noon, and night.This was my first time staying in a dormitory. The bunk beds have curtains so you can feel like you are in a private room. Each bed is equipped with a counter for storing small items, an outlet, and a light.[3rd time]I stayed here for 3 nights in June and then in late November this year. As usual, the travelers staying here are all people who love traveling and have fun. The air and water temperatures were still high, so I was able to snorkel with just a normal rash guard. I'll visit you again. *Since there are no shops nearby to shop, this time without a rental car, I stocked up on three days' worth of breakfast yogurt and boiled eggs on the first day. There is a refrigerator.[Revisit] I stayed there last December and felt comfortable, so I went there for the second time, in June. Unlike winter, there are snorkeling tours and barbecues (depending on the day). As for snorkeling, the owner and those who wish to stay overnight will go together. There were many advanced swimmers, and as a beginner (life jacket required), I was hesitant, but everyone was so kind that I was able to swim comfortably. There is no air conditioning during tea time. However, there is one in each room and you can use it for 100 yen per hour. The bedding was also kept clean and although other reviews talked about dust mites, I wasn't bitten. I'll visit you again![First time] This is a comfortable inn perfect for those who think that the real pleasure of traveling is not just the scenery, but also the encounters with the local people. On the other hand, it is not suitable for people who are not used to traveling or who think of traveling as a luxury. The story of the host and the kind consideration of the host's wife fit me perfectly, and I was able to spend a comfortable time there. The other guests are also people who know how to keep a good distance from each other, and the time passes smoothly as they greet each other, chat, and offer facilities such as toilets and showers. In addition, the female-only traditional Thai massage provided by my wife was very authentic, taught me my weaknesses, and gave me advice on stretching later on, so I recommend it to female guests.The location is in a residential area on Kurima Island, so it's quiet, but there are many fashionable shops around.Meals are toast, jam butter, and coffee from 7am to 10am. It is served in the evening at 8pm and only on certain days of the week. My day was curry. This is also delicious. If it's not dinner date, there is a local mom's izakaya nearby that is open all year round. There is also a famous Miyako soba restaurant next door. Lights are turned off at 11pm at night. A private room comes with one towel. There are no amenities or nightwear provided. Beer and drinks are sold in refrigerated showcases. Instant coffee and tea are free drinks. Next time, I would like to visit during the best season for snorkeling.

It was beautiful and the owner was friendly and I had a fun time on Miyakojima for the first time! thank you very much. I'll bother you again!

Fireflies, beer, and conversations with people you meet for the first time. It was a beautiful night.Diving with the owner was also the best.
