For long-term use of 3 months or more. The Shiraho village where Pakira is located is a little far from the city center, but it is the only area on Ishigaki Island where many private houses with traditional red tiled roofs and coral stone walls still exist, so you can spend your time enjoying the unique Okinawan scenery. I can. There is no hustle and bustle like in the city, and the surrounding environment is quiet and peaceful, perfect for people who want to relax. The beach is just a few minutes walk away, so when I wanted to take a breather, I could take a walk or read a book while looking out at the ocean. The sunrise can be seen beautifully from the coast. The guests are of various ages and backgrounds, but they're all unique (lol), and I think they're more laid-back than over-the-top. This was my first long-term stay at a guesthouse, and I had a really fun and comfortable stay. It's understandable that there are many repeat customers who come over and over again.1. The ease and security of being exclusively for womenEven if I come out of the bath with no make-up and glasses on, or just a bath towel, I feel really comfortable because there are only women there.2. cleanlinessSince it's only women, the kitchen, toilet, bath, and other plumbing areas are clean. The owner comes to clean the place once every two days, so the inn is always kept clean and perfect for people who like to stay clean.3. Full of equipmentThere are more than enough kitchen items and cooking utensils, so you don't have to worry about missing anything or buying anything yourself, so you can just buy the ingredients and start cooking for yourself right away. If you don't care about seasonings, there are free ones available, and there is a wide range of supplies that you can use to reach your itchy spots. This is also unique to female owners.4. Lots of free ingredientsThe owner's husband's family is a farmer, so we are really grateful for the many things we receive, such as free rice (distributed monthly) and vegetables, as well as sharing ingredients and dishes with the guests.5. The owner plays three roles: mother, sister, and friend.The owner, who married from the mainland to the island, can listen to advice and opinions based on an understanding of the feelings of both immigrants and islanders. Therefore, it should be reassuring for those who want to immigrate. I have many connections with local people, and they always give me lots of local information and help me with my work. She is very caring, and when someone is in trouble, she supports her like a mother, she consults her like an older sister, and sometimes she talks to her like a friend, and she is refreshing and friendly. All the guests respect the owner.

The guesthouse was very well-organized, and all the guests were friendly and had a great time. Many of them were preparing to immigrate, and we listened to their stories with great interest. A regular hotel may be better for those who want to spend time alone, but it is recommended for those who are looking for connection with others. If you want to move here, I think staying for a long time will give you a little taste of real life. It is more convenient to have a rental car, so if you can drive, we recommend that you reserve a rental car somewhere. I didn't have much confidence in driving so I took the bus, but it was close enough to the city.

I had a wonderful stay with the owner who loves the village of Shiraho and a woman staying there for a long time. I was only there for about a week, but it was really fun.It was my first time staying in a shared accommodation facility, and I was nervous because I had asked for an unexpected stay, but I was able to relax right away. By the second day, I was falling asleep on the tatami mat in the living room while putting on a face pack. This is just me being lazy...lolSince it was only women, it was a comfortable atmosphere where you could wander around wearing no make-up and casual loungewear.You can distribute rice from the owner's husband, but since I don't really like rice, I didn't eat it there and took it home with me, but when I tried cooking it, I was surprised that the rice from Ishigaki Island was delicious. I would like to cook it with Ishigaki water and eat it again.The guests were able to relax and follow the rules at their own pace, and while maintaining a moderately private distance, we were able to chat and talk about recommended restaurants, stories about moving to Japan, and much more.Roughly speaking, we visited the homes of relatives such as aunts and lived together with just the girls.We all got along as if we were close sisters.If you don't understand something, you can ask the owner, but it's okay to just ask the guests, and everyone is kind.If you are looking for hotel-like facilities, cleanliness, and service, we recommend a hotel.This is a guest house where you can feel like you are living in Shiraho, where you can relax, cook your own meals, help each other, socialize, and interact with people.I don't recommend it enough and it's so popular that it's difficult to get a full occupancy, but I highly recommend it. lolI was also impressed by the owner's kind and flexible approach to consultation and how he is very reliable.If you are interested, please contact us and talk on the phone to get a feel for the atmosphere.I was impressed with the hotel over the phone and decided to stay there the same day I visited the site.I had a good impression that they had taken good measures to prevent the coronavirus.I was especially happy that they provided hand towels for the restroom for guests staying in the room, and I was also happy that there was space to store food for long-term stays.I stayed at Tiida, which has a window and an air conditioner.I was happy because I could adjust the air conditioner so it wouldn't hit me directly, and there was a window that let in bright light. The desk is small and cramped, so if you're staying for a long time, we recommend a private room.I will be staying for a longer period of time this year, and while I am thinking about monthly stays and other facilities, I am also thinking about using Pachira-san's services.
