A new and beautiful guest house!I traveled by bus, but it didn't feel too inconvenient.Although I had to walk from the bus stop, it was convenient for me as I checked in after shopping at a store near the bus stop.I was able to get information from the perspective of people who live in the area, including information such as recommended places mapped on the blackboard, which was also very nice.It's also a short walk to the beach, so we recommend watching the sunrise.As for the noise, I think you can't hear it if you speak in a very low voice against the wall...To be honest, any guesthouse depends on the members staying at the hotel, so if you have a Yuntaku, it will be noisy until the lights go out, but if you don't have it, it will be noisy.If you want to stay in a quiet place, I think it would be better to stay at a guesthouse or hotel without Yuntaku!(However, there were earplugs in the common space!)For this price with this beauty and location,I would like to use your hotel again when I come to Ishigaki.~About the facility~There is one shower room and two sinks,When you take a bath, you can lock the changing room.However, there are two washbasins in the changing room, soYou can use the bath from 7am, but it would be best to avoid the time when you would like to use the sink.I don't want to give too many stars because it makes it difficult to get reservations lolIt was a good guesthouse for me.I think it's good for both people who want to communicate and people who want to stay overnight for a cheap price.

The best guest house ever❗️It is located on the beach, 10 minutes by car from Ishigaki Airport and 2 minutes walk from Shiraho Beach.We chose the quiet Shiraho coast rather than the remote island terminal in the city. It was newly built in 2019 and has various types of rooms, including dormitories (bunk beds) and private rooms. In the dormitory, you will be sharing a room with two other people. I was worried about being with two people I didn't know 💦, but those worries were blown away. During my stay, there were many single people, and I enjoyed chatting with different members in the morning and evening. 2 washrooms, 1 washing machine (100 yen each with detergent), 50 yen toothbrushes, shampoo, conditioner, body soap, and Orion beer available for 240 yen. There's always ``Sanpincha'' in the refrigerator. Holo Holo also offers rental cars 🚗 and rental bikes 🛵. Bicycles and parking were free. Maezato Shoten, located 7 or 8 minutes away by bicycle, is open from 6:30 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. I bought some side dishes.Holo holo also runs a ``firefly tour'' around this time, and for 3,000 yen they will take you to the ``Yaeyama Hime Firefly'' spot. At Shiraho Beach, the sunrise and stars at night were also amazing☀️🌟I borrowed a yoga mat and lay on the beach and watched the stars. I even saw a shooting star 💫It's an experience you can't get at a hotel in the city.Holo Holo's employees take turns in charge of the work each day. He won't be here in the morning, so it might be a good idea to say hello the day before you leave. It seems like you can just leave on the day without checking out.Holo Holo's employees and other guests were all very friendly, and I was able to get to know them right away. Even one person is fine!However, the location was a bit difficult to find, so I got lost every time I went home.However, it was a fun guesthouse ❣️ I recommend it ❗️

New, nice and clean. The living room is very stylish and the staff are very hospitable, making it the best guesthouse!However, since it's a guest house, you have to give each other a shower, and if you don't like the fact that you can hear everyone talking, I think it's better to stay at a hotel.

It has become my favorite guest house.The facilities are very clean and the cleaning is thorough.The location is Shiraho, which is far from the ferry terminal, but it's not a problem because it's close to the bus stop.Participation in Yuntaku is voluntary and quiet.This suited me very well.Lights were turned off at 11 o'clock and the sleeping environment was good.The older sister of the employee was a hard worker and I really enjoyed talking with her.He loves the sea and will carefully tell you about various things about Ishigaki Island.I was especially impressed by the very detailed explanations given at check-in.I will be traveling to Ishigaki Island again this year, so I would like to stay here again.

There was a wonderful person among the management staff, and I suddenly became a fan of hers.The male staff member used to work in the hotel industry. This person gives you a sense of security with hotel-like reception.In the shared living room, there are many long-term repeat guests and nomadic workers. There were many aggressive customers, and it was a very exciting and educational time during my stay!You can stay in a locked private room with peace of mind, parking is free, and a small shop sells vegetables, fish, and fresh meat.Since it is still a new guesthouse, there are some things that are being adjusted little by little, such as the rules and equipment. I think the future build-up will make the house even warmer and kinder. It's an inn where I really like the sincere staff, so I'd like to support them as much as I can!Thank you to everyone who spent this time with us.To everyone I met, let's meet again ♡

2023/12 Stayed for 5 consecutive nights. I was able to find the best guest house ever.The staff, the people I met there, the surrounding nature, clean facilities, comfortable space, free bicycles, etc. are all reasons why I gave it a full star rating.I was also lucky that the day I stayed coincided with the Geminid meteor shower.It's a 3-minute walk from the guesthouse to the coast, so at night and dawn, I was able to lie on the ground and gaze at the impressive starry sky in pitch darkness.During the day, we walked to the beach and took a walk along the Shiraho coast, which is originally shallow but has become even shallower due to low tide. There were lots of crabs, crabs, and small fish.We were also able to see the sunrise at dawn.However, in winter, the sunrise time was relatively late at 7:20, so I was able to see the spectacular sunrise without having to get up early.I was able to cook freely in the kitchen, and there were several restaurants nearby, so I didn't have any inconveniences.All the staff are kind and friendly.It was fun to chat every night.Of course, when I was in my room, I was able to calm down and spend time alone.They were very flexible and accommodating, such as deciding to extend the stay the night before or requesting a room change (from a shared room to a single room) on the day of the stay.Thank you very much for your help.thank you.

I came by car, but I couldn't get there without trying Google Maps several times. The owner seems to be aware of this, but he wants to put up a signpost, but it seems that it is not acceptable in the area, so he seems to be taking it off, so he seems to be having a hard time. Taxi drivers do not enter from the police station near the Shiraho Junior High School bus stop, but instead enter the next bus stop, called Basukinayo Iriguchi, where there is a concrete wall near where the bus stop (outbound) is marked. There is a series of roads, and it seems that the road leading to the Euglena factory is used to take you to and from the inn, so if you don't have the map provided by the inn and feel like getting lost, you can find an inn near the Shiraho police station. I think it would be better to contact someone at once or consult with an expatriate representative. The inn itself feels like a travel inn. The atmosphere of the inn is determined by the atmosphere of the people who stay there that day, but there are many private rooms, so solo travelers can maintain their individuality, and the owners never force themselves, so I think anyone can enjoy it. . It's less than 5km from the airport and close to the airport bus stop, so I stayed here after returning my rental car to the airport. If you stay overnight on your last day, it will be easier to adjust your return flight time. It takes 2 minutes to get to the coast, but the shore is rocky with coral, so it seems a little difficult to get to the coast.

The staff's service is impeccable!However, the facility was difficult to use. There's only one sink and bath set, so you can't use it if someone else is using it. Beds are cheap. I don't know if it was the towels or the air conditioner, but it smelled a little strong, probably because it was half-dried. Also, the main living room is where the staff and guests gather together until 11pm, so until then I think you will be able to get a good night's sleep, including during the day. It's been quiet since then. I think people who want to interact with other customers will have a great time. However, I think it is difficult for people who want to relax. The location is difficult to find, so please be careful when driving. You can also see beautiful stars at night after walking for a few minutes along a slightly steep trail. We also found fireflies, crabs, and coconut crabs there. Recommended for people who are highly sociable and who like communication! People who want to relax should avoid it.They provide cheap accommodation so I can't complain!

It's clean and has a great atmosphere! The staff told me about recommended shops, spots, and food, and I had a lot of fun ☺️On the last day, we watched the sunrise and had breakfast with the other guests who were staying with us, and then we left! ︎I had many wonderful encounters and the trip became even more fun✨Tableware and seasonings are provided, so you can cook local ingredients purchased at the supermarket at the inn!It was also great that we could borrow snorkeling sets for free! 🤿I'm glad I stayed here! ︎It was my first time on Ishigaki Island, but it was a great memory!! ︎Thank you very much🌺

We stayed for 2 days as a family, but we had so much fun that 2 days wasn't enough ☺️We watched the Milky Way at night at a nearby beach (3-4 minutes walk) with other guests. We went to watch the sunrise in the morning and chatted lively in the living room until the lights went out, so we never got bored for a moment during our stay.The inn itself is a relatively new building, so it's clean and the interior is stylish. It was very comfortable ✨Up until now, when visiting Ishigaki Island, I had often stayed in the city center for convenience, but the quiet and relaxing atmosphere of Shiraho village and the proximity to the beach were also very good. I liked it so much that I would like to stay here again next time☺️

We stayed here for 2 nights during the typhoon season.A guest house near the sea that still smells like new construction. The private room and water area are clean and comfortable.During my stay, the owner and staff treated me very well. Thanks to holo holo, the atmosphere of the guest house created by these two and their guests was so warm that we were able to enjoy our time on Ishigaki Island due to the typhoon. This is my first time staying in such a comfortable guesthouse.I love the location of Shiraho, where the guesthouse is located, as it has a calming atmosphere.If you are going to Ishigaki Island, we recommend that you stay there first.Thank you for all the help you have given me!

The building was beautiful, it was close to the sea, and the staff were nice, but I wish there were more tables.If the same person kept occupying the space, it wouldn't be vacated until after 11pm.It's a bit scary when you head out at night as you walk down a completely dark road in the latter half of the day.You can use the washing machine and dryer for 100 yen.It was also nice to be able to use bicycles for free.

A cheap hotel for people who like Yuntaku. The walls of the room were thin and the voices came through. It's noisy until lights out at 11pm.Not suitable for people who like quiet facilities.Since it's located in Shiraho, there are very few stores in the area, making it inconvenient if you don't have a car.The only advantage is that the facility is clean. There is nothing else.
