Eating a healthy breakfast while looking out at the majestic Iriomote Island and the sea is the best!The sky is full of stars at night. No matter how long you watch the sunrise or sunset, you will never get tired of it. This is my second time staying here, and I love the view.The owner will come up with ideas depending on your purpose, whether you're traveling with family, friends, or solo.I enjoyed SUP.This is a popular inn, so please reserve early.

The location, the cleanliness of the room, and the deliciousness of the breakfast were wonderful.The owner was a very nice person and listened to my wishes, which I was really grateful for. The pet cats were so friendly and cute! The price was very reasonable and I'm glad I was able to stay there.A clear blue sea spread out before your eyes, and a starry sky. The two nights and three days were like a dream. I will also go looking for a continuation of my dream.

I stayed here in March 2024.If you want to do early morning SUP on Kohama Island, you have to stay overnight, so you have to find it! and.Speaking of Kohama Island, it is famous for its major resort hotels, but are there any other good places? When I searched on Google Maps, Panapana was a hit!What a wonderful inn 💓 I was looking forward to visiting, and it turned out to be the best inn.It was a pity that we only stayed for one night, and I wanted to spend more time relaxing and playing around with the cat.Since I had an early morning SUP, my breakfast time was different from that of other guests, but I am grateful to you for accommodating me.

After doing some research, I wanted to visit this inn and decided to go to Kohama Island.Relax on the terrace while looking out at the shallow sea overlooking Iriomote Island and Yubu Island.Swinging in a hammock.You can see the sunset over Iriomote Island, but I missed it because I was just going to a pub.The starry sky could be seen through the clouds, and it would be amazing if it was a clear day!The sunrise amidst the chirping of red-crowned nighttails.Fireflies flickering in the grass.You can snorkel as much as you like on the beach in front of you.The Western food one plate was very delicious!I was healed by two cats.The owner is also a friendly older brother (father).At night, take out the deck chairs, turn on the lights, and use the terrace.Even after checking out, you can relax on the terrace.If the time is right, I will show you around the island.I was filled with the desire to enjoy this location to the fullest.I should have consulted with you more.We had a great time talking about various things.I stayed for two nights, but next time I'll come back for a more relaxing stay.

The front of the inn is like a private beach.After staying overnight, our host, Mr. Araki, guided us around the island. (When I'm busy, I may not be able to guide you. I think it would be a good idea to ask.)It was a great experience.I want to go again⭐︎

It is located on the very nice Hososaki coast and near the fishing port. In front of you are Yonara Channel, where manta rays pass, and Iriomote Island. The sunset is beautiful.2 minutes walk to Izakaya Fukugi, where you can find delicious Champuru and Oden.

Thank you for your help in the summer.Thank you very much for transporting our large luggage.There were few customers as the typhoon passed, and we were blessed with perfect weather and the best sea.I had a relaxing and dream-like time.It was a valuable experience.I felt like I should write a review to thank you for staying with me for such a long time, but once I returned to my daily routine, time passed quickly.I was watching TV today, and I saw that Gussan's program ``I Want to Eat Fish'' featured Hososaki Fishing Port on Kohama Island. I was surprised to see the owner of panapana come out! ️Twice⁉️The BBQ looked fun and exciting. I'm glad you're doing well.I would like to stay at panapana again soon.We are rooting for you behind the scenes! ️

Picked up by a very friendly staff from the pier. Although we can't speak Japanese, she tried all her best to talk to us. She also helped me to reserve a table on the nearby restaurant. The view was excellent and you can relax in the guesthouse. Room was basic but spotless. Breakfast was decent.unforgettable experience and full marks with no doubt

We had a great time.We were warmly welcomed by a friendly couple. I was also grateful for the treatment for my burns.The sea in front of us was clear with a pale bluish tinge, and we could see fish even without a snorkel.The night sky on a clear day is full of stars.This is an inn I would like to visit again.

This is my second visit.This time I stayed in a twin room for 2 nights.Time passes by leisurely, the sea and Iriomote Island in front of you, and the pitch-black village and starry sky at night.Although the temperature is 30℃ in October, there were no mosquitoes and it was comfortable. (There are flies)Kohama Island is not suitable for people who want to see a lot of things, but people come here to relax in the first place.The starry sky you can see while lying on a chair in the garden at night is the best.I had some business to do on Kohama Island and only stayed for one night, but I stayed here because I could see the ocean.This is a luxurious inn where you can enjoy a view of the sea from the terrace where you can see Iriomote Island right in front of your eyes.Room 101 had a shared shower and toilet, but even though it was shared, there was only one other room, so it was a comfortable stay.It seems like you can spend time with your family in the large room, and it would be great if you could relax and enjoy the view.The breakfast was a well-balanced Japanese meal and tasted very good.However, be careful as there are many mosquitoes on the terrace.There is an izakaya nearby, but you should check the opening hours.There aren't many restaurants on the island, so if you're going to other areas, you'll need to make a reservation. (The izakaya will pick you up.)The owner was also very kind and it was great to hear all kinds of stories.

You can get away from the hustle and bustle and relax. Breakfast is a healthy meal similar to a continental breakfast.

I stayed alone.The sea is right in front of you, and just sitting on the terrace and relaxing makes you feel happy.At night, it was pitch black, so I was able to see the beautiful Milky Way. The starry sky you can see here is much more beautiful than the starry sky observation at the major resorts on Kohama Island.If you want to see the stars, this is the place!If you want to enter the sea with a sense of privacy, this is the place!If you are tired of the hustle and bustle of the city, this is the place!

Breakfast was amazing with a view of Iriomote from the hotel terrace! Breakfast was Japanese food and it was delicious. The room had a shared toilet and shower, but there were no other guests this time, so it was very comfortable.I think the next door Izakaya Fukugi is the most convenient place for dinner. (close, delicious)I hope to go again when the weather is a little better. thank you for helping me

I think it's totally possible if two people stay in a room with a shared shower and toilet.The location is just great (if it's sunny...)It's on the edge of the island, so it's important to know if the nearby pubs and restaurants are open.The female owner is a friendly and nice person.The breakfast was also good and had a good amount.Is the only high room not used much? There was a musty smell and the kitchen area had not been cleaned.(Especially the microwave)It might be better to stop cooking for yourself.Some geckos came to visit, probably connected to the outside world, so it might be a bit difficult for those who are not good at it.It must be difficult for you to do it alone, but I'm really sorry about the cleaning.
