This is my first time traveling to Ie Island and staying there! The room was made using a container and was a bit small, but it had a unit bath and was very comfortable! Is the hot water in the bus from the hot water supply next to the door? It won't come out unless I turn on the switch... Afterwards, it was difficult to connect to Wi-Fi lol

2023.11.4-5 AccommodationAlthough it was a container, I had a very comfortable stay.The owner kindly taught me about the island.There are two cats on the premises, and they come close to me, so it's a bit of a hassle🐈️There is also a restaurant, with a variety of menus for dinner, including alcoholic drinks. You can also drink it🍺

I stayed here for 3 nights on a diving trip. I stayed for 3 nights with breakfast included, but I had breakfast at "Kominka Restaurant Yui" next door.The guest room was a container house with a bathroom and the amenities were perfect. However, the mattress on the bed was a little soft and I personally had a hard time with my lower back.

Container room is pretty goodThere are cats around the front desk and they are friendly and you can touch them as much as you want, which is great.It's also great that you can use the laundry for free.Room 201, where I stayed, had a deck above it, and it was terrible because other guests were going up and down all night and in the morning, but when I asked, they changed my room.Great attitude towards solving problemsAlso, breakfast is served at a restaurant next door, but the food was not delicious.There was a lot of uneven hardness.The okazu was also cold, and since there was a system where you could specify the time in advance, I think it could have been made a little fresher and warmer.

Container house in front of the sea, about 7 minutes walk from Ie Port! I had a very comfortable stay! There are places to eat and a convenience store nearby, so it's convenient! There was a cute cat.

If you want to stay comfortably and cheaply on Ie Island, this is the place!There's a delicious izakaya next door, and although it's a container house, it's great for one person, and the cleanliness is perfect!

They were extremely kind and I was able to spend my trip with good memories. Supermarkets and convenience stores are also within walking distance, especiallyThank you very much to the front desk staff who took care of us. (I will refrain from giving details as they may change from time to time)I will come to Ie Island again. It's a container-style hotel and the price is cheap, so please give it a try.It may not be related to the inn, but everyone involved is kind and it's a nice island.

The container rooms were not cleaned properly. The shower in particular...was cold, but I didn't use it.There is little evidence outside the container at night, so it is not suitable for elderly people.The service consisted of handing over the keys and giving an oral explanation. Although I was asked about the breakfast time, there was no explanation of the location...Ie Island was great, but next time I'll look for a different place.

Even though it was my birthday, I was given the excuse that there was no room, and I was given a prefabricated room that was completely different from the photo and was not a log house.I got everything else I needed

There is a delicious restaurant right next door, with wooden terrace seats overlooking the sea.The room is completely private, even late at night.You can avoid worrying about the sounds you make.You can hear outside sounds (footsteps, etc.), so this is not recommended for those who are concerned about it.The vending machine was broken, but there is a Family Mart within a 5-minute walk.

There are rows of independent container houses, one by one. The room was clean, had a bathroom, and had towels and amenities. There is also Wi-Fi, which I think is the best feature for a guesthouse on a remote island. It's also close to the port and convenience stores (there's a Family Mart on Ie Island!).

This is a container accommodation facility.The interior is made of wood, giving it a container feel.No. The bathroom and toilet are separate. It's enough for one person, but it's too small for two people. There is a pub next door. You can have breakfast while looking out at the ocean.It's great because you can get it
