I stayed at Akaneya for 2 nights and 3 days this time, and it was a wonderful and memorable trip with the owner's service and personality that exceeded my expectations.When I read other reviews, I felt that the owner provides special hospitality tailored to the guests staying there.There were some rainy days during my stay, but the garden was planted with tropical plants and I was able to enjoy the view from my room. Thanks to staying at Akaneya, I was able to like Taketomi Island even more.They also have Western-style rooms, so I'd like to stay there next time.

I was really impressed by the host's thoughtfulness.Reservations for water buffalo carts, restaurant information, free bicycle rental, tuk-tuk transportation, leisure sheets and drinks (2 bottles each of tea and beer) when going to the beach, introduction to tourist spots, buffalo carts When I got on the bus, they would take pictures of me along the route I was taking, or when I talked about my interest in awamori, they would give me recommendations, and so on. If something happens, you can call us right away and we'll come to you, so you can spend your time with peace of mind.We were especially able to take a walk around Taketomi Island at night, and we were able to spot rare creatures such as coconut crabs, owls, and hermit crabs, which are natural monuments, and we even took some wonderful photos with the starry sky at the west pier. I was very happy with what you did.Also, the facility was packed with a lot of attention to detail, and both the exterior and interior were stylish and had a great atmosphere. It's the perfect place to relax and stretch your wings!It was a great trip thanks to my host!thank you very much!

Thank you very much for your help this time. Honestly, I would like to give it a rating of 5 or higher! The guest rooms are located in nature and have a good sense of privacy. The shampoo and other amenities are also organic, giving it a resort feel that makes you wonder if you're on a remote island.High ratings include the owner's personality and nice smile. Even though I was doing it alone, the owner's smile and personality made the trip even more enjoyable, as he guided me through the island's famous spots, places where the stars could be seen beautifully, local species of flora and fauna, and consulted with me about the proposal situation. I think it was also a lot of fun. Thanks to you, it was an unforgettable day.I definitely want to go again. Mr. Ihon, let's have a drink at a deep restaurant in Ishigaki Taketomi next time! !

This was my first visit to Taketomi Island and I stayed at this inn.It was a great inn where you could spend a relaxing time without worrying about being seen by others in a private space surrounded by coral stone walls and trees in a good old Okinawan style.You can enjoy the miraculous location where you can drink Orion beer on the veranda while looking out at the white sand garden.Not only is the accommodation itself beautiful, but the hospitality of the Akaneya staff is outstanding!Due to the lack of resources and population on Taketomi Island, there are times when it is a bit difficult to eat and move around, but thanks to the staff's flawless follow-up, we were able to enjoy a comfortable and enjoyable experience without having to worry about anything. I was able to spend time there.The level of hospitality was completely beyond the realm of the staff at an inn, and it was at a level that made you feel like your best friend from junior high school who had moved to the island was hosting you for your first visit to the island, a reunion for the first time in 10 years.I was impressed. I want to go again, no, I want to see you again.thank you very much!

We stayed with a group of 3 people for 2 nights and 3 days.As mentioned in other reviews, not only the location but also the hospitality is very wonderful.It was an inn that I could recommend with confidence.Not only is the room nice, butThe staff were very kind and helped us with life on Taketomi Island and access from Ishigaki Island, so we had a comfortable stay from beginning to end!(This time, there was a possibility that a typhoon would hit us directly during our stay, so we checked frequently about the ferry service to Ishigaki Island 🙇‍♀️)They told us stories about the sea, the stars and creatures of the night, the culture of Taketomi Island, etc.It was a relaxing yet very enriching time.Thank you very much🌺

The other day, I stayed at Akaneya, a hostel for one group per day. We put a lot of thought into not only the taste of the rooms, but also the baths, amenities, and drinks. We also had originally roasted coffee in the morning, and it was very delicious.Also, thanks to the wonderful staff, I was able to experience the beautiful sea of ​​Taketomi Island and the rich nature of Taketomi Island. Taketomi Island had the original scenery of Okinawa that I had imagined myself. When I arrived at Taketomi Island by ferry from Ishigaki Island and saw rows of wooden red-tiled private houses, I realized that I had always wanted to see a scenery like this! My heart was so excited.I enjoyed spending time relaxing on the beach, watching the sun go down from the pier in the evening, and encountering rare wild animals while walking.Akaneya is a place that offers a truly soothing experience. It has become a place I definitely want to visit again.Spotting a coconut crab was the highlight of the trip. Iwa-san, thank you very much for your help!

In April of this year, just before Golden Week, I went on a honeymoon trip for 2 nights and 3 days.It felt like I was visiting my uncle who lives on an island and has a villa.From the bottom of my heart, I am glad that I stayed at Akaneya.As I learned from my stay on Taketomi Island,・The weather was very changeable and the weather forecast was not accurate at all.・Advance reservations are required for dinner as there are few shops and business hours on Google Maps are unreliable.This greatly affects the level of satisfaction with your stay.If the weather was pleasant, anyone could enjoy it, but the weather was very unstable for us, so if it wasn't for Akaneya, I think we wouldn't have enjoyed it as much because everything would have gone wrong.The hospitality was truly wonderful and I was able to stay comfortably and at ease.There are so many things I want to write about, but I think you'll enjoy it more if you stay in a place you don't know! By the way, we told them in advance that we were on our honeymoon, but they seemed to be happier if they told us in advance that it was a special day like that.I felt that every detail of the room was taken care of, and every corner was thoroughly cleaned. (I think it's quite difficult to not worry about a dirty room at all when traveling, so to be honest, this is what surprised me the most.)It seems like the room has been designed to make it difficult for insects to get in, so even though I don't like insects, I was able to stay in the room without worrying about insects.Even if it's too hot and you don't want to go outside, the view of the garden from your room is so beautiful that you can enjoy your stay even if it rains.Lastly, I would like to make a note of what I would do if I were to stay there next time, but I thought it would be a good idea to buy some food that will last for the duration of your stay before you board the ferry from Ishigaki Island!There are a lot of drinks prepared in the room, but there are not many things you can take out on Taketomi Island (mostly ice cream and shaved ice), so when you get hungry, you want something to eat with these wonderful drinks. ! That's what I thought. So, I should have bought some Sata Andagi when I was on Ishigaki Island! That's what I thought...Thank you very much for making our honeymoon so wonderful.I would love to stay again on a special day! ! !
