It was my first time staying at a guesthouse on a remote island, and it felt like I was back at home.

Everyone at the hostel was friendly and the atmosphere was good. I only stayed for one night, but the food was very delicious, and the Kuroshima Asa beef hamburger for dinner was exquisite. Awamori is also available at the free drinks corner, which is great for alcoholic drinkers. The cooler is coin-operated, but it costs 100 yen for 2 hours, so I think it's reasonable. This is an inn that I would like to stay with again.

My first time on Kuroshima. Thank you for your help, Minshuku Kuroshima.It was very comfortable and I felt like I was coming home. We had a very delicious and relaxing breakfast and dinner.We rented a bicycle and toured the island. The weather was cloudy, but it was still fun.The view from the rooftop was good and I felt that the sky was so wide. I'll visit you again.

The food is delicious and the room is clean, but you have to go outside to take a bath or go to the dining room.It felt inconvenient after taking a bath or when it rained.This is also my first experience with air conditioning coins.It would be a problem if the air conditioner turned off in the middle of the night (lol)

This is my favorite among the guesthouses in Yaeyama. Both breakfast and dinner are home-cooked meals made with local ingredients and are very delicious and filling.The rooms, bathrooms, and toilets are very clean, and there are no ants or cockroaches crawling around (← Yaeyama guesthouses often have a battle with insects, but this one is fine )The Wi-Fi connection is good and I think it's suitable for workdays!It's about a 5 minute walk to Nakamoto Beach. I think you'll have a great time if you go on a day when the spring tide is at the end of the rainy season!I would like to take care of you again!

Transportation to and from the port is available. Please call us to let us know your arrival time before boarding the ferry. Although the price is reasonable at 7,000 yen for one night and two meals, both dinner and breakfast are plentiful. And it was very delicious. Drinks such as beer in the refrigerator must be self-reported.The room is large enough for two people. There was a fan, and I kept the window screens and entrance door open to let the wind out. I closed the door at night so I used the air conditioner (it costs 100 yen for 2 hours, but I heard you can pay up to 700 yen). The rooms, hallways, and toilets were kept clean. The bath was available for each group to use, but since we had an earlier guest, we borrowed a shower for people who were doing marine sports outdoors. You can also use a hammock on the rooftop.Since we stayed there on a full moon night, they took us to a nearby beach to see the blue crabs spawning. It's family-run and friendly, but they keep a reasonable distance so it's easy to spend time there. The helper girl was also very nice. It was a hotel I would like to stay at when I visit Kuroshima again. The nearest Nakamoto Beach is about a 5 minute walk. You can also rent bicycles for free, so it's perfect for exploring the island.This is one of the few inns on Kuroshima that can be booked through Rakuten Travel. You can also use credit cards to pay at the hotel.

The room and water area are clean! My wife's cooking was also delicious. It's nice to be able to hang a hammock on the rooftop and enjoy the starry sky, but after diving, I grabbed my lunch and beer and went up to the rooftop. I feel like I’m really enjoying the remote island! It was the best! I also had an aroma massage. It's healing. I've decided to go with Shirokuma next time. Ps, I thought my son was clingy to his mom, but I caught a glimpse of him! He was a smart kid who was helping with the washing up behind the scenes. Impressed (T ^ T)
