This was my first time staying at a guesthouse, and this is my honest opinion. Everything except the basic room is hot. Also, I was in a Japanese-style room with a futon, but the rice cracker futon made my body hurt. Also, since I ordered a meal, the dinner time was set at 6:30. I thought it would be nice if there was a little more range from what time to what time. It might be natural for a guesthouse, but I've never stayed at anything other than a hotel.

I stayed here to go diving at a nearby dive shop.It's a nice inn with a smiling face from the proprietress, and there are plenty of places to wash diving equipment.Another thing to worry about when staying in Iriomote is the cancellation of the Uehara-Ishigaki ferry, but even in the early morning, they will take you to the bus stop that connects to the Ohara-Ishigaki ferry, so you don't have to worry.In the end, I didn't cancel the flight.

My family and I participated in a one-day fishing and snorkeling course. I'm very satisfied with both.I was so happy that my 9 year old daughter and my wife caught their first fish. I was able to snorkel in the afternoon at 2 points, and I was impressed to see turtles, beautiful corals, and fish up close!My first sea fishing and first snorkeling on Iriomote Island, it was amazing ♪The guide seems to have a lot of experience, has a good personality and is reliable!The fish dishes were also good!

It's a little far from Uehara Port, but if you take the ferry company's bus and get off at the Sumiyoshi bus stop, it's right there. It takes about 10 minutes. Famous restaurants can be found within walking distance.Satoshi, Ichihaya, Gajumaru, Hook, Kitchen Inaba, Paris no Gohanya, etc. However, the food at the hotel is even more delicious.As for tourist attractions, you can walk to Hoshisuna Beach, Nakano Beach, and Unarizaki Observation Deck.There is also a place to wash diving equipment. Beach activities, mountain climbing, and fishing are also available at the inn. If you are going to Iriomote Island for the first time, it may be easier to take care of yourself at Sawayakaso. If you have any concerns or questions, please ask the staff and they will respond immediately.

The staff were all kind and helpful, so I was able to spend a comfortable time during my stay.It was very convenient because the Izakaya Ichihaya, which I personally wanted, was right in front of me.I plan on repeating it again.The room has been improved by adding an outlet near the bed so you can charge your smartphone.

Although it is old, the room was clean and the water area was clean and very nice.The staff were friendly and attentive, making us feel at home, and the breakfast was delicious and we were very satisfied.I stayed here because I wanted to go to Ichihaya, but even after that, it was a guesthouse that made me want to go again.
