It was a very homely stay!The landlady and staff were all very kind, and even though I was traveling alone as a woman, I was able to enjoy my stay with peace of mind!I had breakfast, and it was very delicious.You might be worried about water on a remote island, but the toilet and bath were clean. Anyway, I would like to go back to Yonaguni Island where the people are warm!

It was a wonderful stay.Although I was traveling alone, I was welcomed happily. The staff are very friendly and kind. The room facilities and shared shower and toilet were clean. There was a gecko in the room, which is typical of a tropical country, but it was harmless and cute.The location is convenient, with bike rental shops, shops, and bus stops nearby.I hope to come here again when I come to Yonaguni Island again.

We used it as a lodging location for a Yonaguni diving tour.The guest rooms are Japanese-style. Wifi is available.No meals provided, only overnight stays. Securing food will be an issue.

Accommodation for overnight stay. I was a little concerned about the gap in the door of the room. Free coffee, shuttle to and from the airport, and friendly staff.
