I went there because it had high reviews.From a female perspective, security is quite low. During the explanation, I was told that the front shutter would be closed at 11pm, but one of the staff went out for drinks and couldn't come back, so it was left open even after 11pm, and the back door was also left open, which made me anxious.You can smoke iQOS in the living room where everyone gathers, so it's hard for people who don't smoke...it's quite smelly...It's a good place for people who smoke.In the room, disposable contacts and human hair were piled up in the corners.From 15:00 to 21:00, the rice cracker and the guesthouse are in the same building, so it was a bit uncomfortable...and the walls were thin, so I couldn't relax because of the voices of drunk people at the rice cracker.It looked beautiful at first glance, but...The owner❓ staff❓ is sitting on the big sofa in the living room and the people staying there are attentive...I thought the diving equipment could be washed behind the scenes and the drying area was made of wire mesh, so security was good, but since the locks were not locked...I was suspicious.

It was my first time staying at a guesthouse.I usually stay at resort hotels, but I lost my job right before my trip, so to save money, I did a lot of searching and chose this hotel, which seemed like it would be okay for a solo woman.As a result, it was a guest house with a very nice atmosphere.The owners seemed to be two nice men, and they suddenly upgraded me to a bigger room because there was room available, and invited me to a pub (unfortunately, I had a reservation at the restaurant, so I declined). However, there was a looseness that can only be found on a remote island, and I was able to relax in a good way without having to worry about anything.The room was also clean and comfortable.One night, I went out of my room to take a shower with only my smartphone and a change of clothes, but for some reason I locked the door from the outside and was locked out.I was waiting for the owners to come back from dinner by the time I took a shower and dried my hair, but after two hours, no one came back, so my anxiety reached its peak and I called my cell phone. By the way, he came running back from the pub and said he was sorry, and I was grateful...When I apologized profusely, she sweat-dropped and said, ``It's okay! It happens all the time!'' and opened the room with a duplicate key, and I thought it was God.Furthermore, the next day, although it was unthinkable in a city where the check-out time was 1:00 p.m., I did my laundry as if I were at home, rented a bicycle, and went to the neighborhood to make candles using sand and coral from Ishigaki Island. When I went there and was tired from the heat and returned at the last minute, he told me, ``You can take it easy,'' and ``You don't have to rush,'' and I ended up staying until 2 pm.Thanks to the owner's kindness, even the bitterest memories of the trip have become a page where you can laugh and talk about them.This is a guest house that you'll want to come back to and say, "I'm home!"

The location was good, with easy access to the downtown area and Yuratik Market, and there was a convenience store next door, so it wasn't an inconvenience.The inside of the inn is also clean and I think it's a very nice guesthouse. Personally, I like the style of the sleeping area that resembles a secret base that reminds me of my childhood.There are toilets, showers, washing machines, and Wi-Fi, so it's also recommended for long-term stays.The friendly receptionist told me about delicious restaurants and sightseeing spots, and I was able to enjoy Ishigaki to the fullest.I will use it again when I visit Ishigaki.

It was more comfortable than a normal hotel!When I informed them that I would be checking in late, it was perfectly fine! They kindly responded. We were in a room for two, right next to the bar, so we were told in advance that it might be noisy, but the noise didn't bother us at all, and we enjoyed our trip to the remote islands, the sea, the mountains, and the river. I fell into a deep sleep as if I was going to pass out from exhaustion. The bed was also comfortable. Rental towels (you can take them out) and laundry are cheap at 100 yen per towel, and I've washed them many times. There was a place to dry my clothes, and there was a fan running, so they dried quickly and I was able to play in the sea every day.There was one shower room for each gender, and one shared shower room, so you could use it whenever you wanted without having to overlap with anyone else. There is a surprisingly large bathtub in the shared bathroom. I was told that it can be used for 500 yen once.It's close to the city, so I was able to come back from a remote island, rest at an inn, and go out for drinks again. On our last day, we went to a remote island, bought some souvenirs at the nearby Yuratik Market, packed up our stuff at the hotel, and checked out at 1pm! I was able to fully enjoy Ishigaki Island until the end.I often stay at guesthouses when I travel to Okinawa, and this was my number one guesthouse so far. I would like to stay here again if I go to Ishigaki Island.

When I stayed there, there was a cancellation right after the typhoon, so there was only me and one other person there.It's run by a friendly and easy-to-talk-to-talk guy.【good point】・It's kept pretty clean.・The atmosphere is quite relaxed and comfortable.・Other than the main entrance being closed at night, there were no time constraints and I was free. Maybe it was because there were very few guests.・The common space has a certain amount of space, several sofas, and a large TV, so you can relax.I basically leave the TV on, so I'm free to watch whatever I want. I used an Okinawan music channel instead of BGM.・Men and women are mixed, but the spaces are clearly separated and you cannot come and go.・Since it is next to a convenience store, there are many restaurants nearby, making it a very convenient location.【A compromise】・There is no space in the private room where you can place a carry case.It's like spreading it out in the aisle and loading and unloading luggage.・There are no locked lockers.・There is a washing machine, but there is no dryer, so you have to dry your clothes outside. Underwear can be difficult to dry, and if the weather is bad, it may not dry until the morning.・The temperature setting of the air conditioner is low, and it is cold even though it is working well.【others】・I think it's good for people who like to spend their time freely and leisurely.

I recently used the hotel for 3 nights and 4 days during Golden Week.They took care of me from beginning to end.There are too many examples to mention, but it was a wonderful trip thanks to the attendance of our regular customers, including the owner.I think even those who are not used to guesthouses can enjoy it with peace of mind.I will definitely use it when I visit again!

This is a very comfortable inn. Supermarkets, convenience stores, and markets are right next door, and the port is also nearby. The facilities are new and the inside of the facility is well-maintained, so I had a good time without any inconvenience. The customer service of the owner was divine and very kind, which made me feel at home. This inn is my best memory of my Ishigaki trip. Thank you very much! I'll be staying again.
