Thank you for staying with us for 2 nights.One more word!This is the best inn😊The food was delicious, the room was clean, the view from the room was better than I expected, and the access to Nishihama was great, so I was very, very satisfied! ️Above all, the staff were wonderful and kind (and even gave advice on how to spend their time), so I was able to enjoy Hateruma Island to the fullest!I plan to visit the island again!This is a recommended inn! !

Close to Nishibama on Hateruma Island.You can come out of your room in your swimsuit and return to your room when you get tired of swimming.The morning and evening meals are delicious, and both the rice and the drinks go well.At night, you can clearly see the Milky Way from the rooftop until the moon rises.This is also part of the fun.I'll bother you again.

Best of all, it's close to Nishihama Beach and all rooms have ocean views! Although the rooms are showing some age, they have been well maintained. |The sunsets and sunrises from the rooftop terrace are also great! …

Simply put, it's the best pension!I have stayed at hotels, inns, and pensions all over the country, and I feel that not only is this the best inn in Hateruma, but it is also one of the highest quality overnight and half-board pensions in Japan.The rooms are thoroughly cleaned, so you can stay with peace of mind. Of course, the air conditioner is free, and the washing machine is 200 yen for a load of up to 5 kg. The dryer is reasonably priced at 100 yen (as of September 2024). There are many drying poles and drying areas on the first and second floors, so if it's sunny, your clothes will dry in about 2 to 3 hours without using the dryer!The food in the morning and evening is delicious, so it's a shame that I can't go to the izakaya on Hateruma Island for a drink. (Of course, we also offer drinks such as Orion Draft and Awanami.)All the staff are very kind and make you feel comfortable! It's a place you'll want to come back to again! And this view is the best! The view from each room's balcony and terrace is Nishi Beach! You can enjoy unlimited views of the Hateruma blue sea. Even if you go into the sea, you can come back easily, and there are showers and changing rooms exclusively for guests.Instead of swimming in the sea, you can just relax and enjoy the view of Nishihama from your room. Personally, this is the most luxurious way to spend my time! If you drink a beer while looking at Hateruma Blue, you will be in heaven! ! You can win! ! This is an attractive inn where you can have the best time and experience ever while enjoying a more luxurious view than a luxury resort.It's so popular that it's difficult to get a reservation, but it's easy to get last-minute cancellations up to a week in advance, so it's best to keep calling and don't give up.This time for the first time in three years, I stayed for four nights, and thoroughly enjoyed the southernmost part of the pension by swimming, walking around, and playing with the inn's cute cat. Fortunately, this pension offers free unlimited water and ice on the first floor.The rooftop is open 24 hours a day, so you can go up there whenever you like and see Nishihama Beach or the starry sky.There are separate rooms on the first and second floors, but my recommendation is definitely the Western-style room on the second floor! The Japanese-style room on the first floor is relaxing, but the view on the second floor is different. You can enjoy the Nishihama view to your heart's content without leaving your room.I hope this inn continues for a long time! I would definitely like to come back again when my body and mind are tired.
