Thank you for staying with us for just one night to conclude our last day of our Ishigaki trip. This is an unusual cottage-style inn, located close to Kabira Bay, and the inn has been skillfully renovated into a clean, compact space.The owner's thoughtfulness and the deliciousness of the food were by far the most impressive inn.It felt like coming to my parents' house, or staying at my best friend's house, so it was very comfortable! If you stay for two nights, one of the dinners will be yakiniku, so it seems that it has a very good reputation. I want to take on the challenge next.

Used when traveling alone on weekdays. Park your car on the lawn in front of the inn. The room was clean and air-conditioned and steaming by the time I arrived, so I was thankful for that. The toilet and bathroom are in a separate building and assigned to each room. You can also rent a jacuzzi separately.In the evening, I had Ishigaki beef yakiniku. The portions are all good, and the portions are good, so the alcohol goes well, but it's a shame that I can't finish all the parts, probably because of my age. , I quite like the lightly pickled type of kimchi. The best part of living in a guesthouse is that the food is delicious.The beer is said to be Orion Premium on tap, and the price is too low. The Shikuwasa Awamori Wari is also delicious.There are dogs and cats in the dining room, so if you don't like animals, please consider this. It's irresistible for people who love dogs and cats. I had a dog to deal with, but since I'm a cat person, I wanted to interact with cats more. I have allergies though. Payment is cashless.It seems like there won't be any rooms available for solo travelers during the high season, so I'd like to try again during the off-season.It's close to Kabira Bay, and my favorite Awamori distillery, Omoto, is also nearby, so I have fond memories of it.

I looked at the website and stayed on Sunday, April 14, 2024 with high expectations✨When I entered my room and went to the hanger on the wall to hang my clothes, I hit my head on the wall fan, which was covered in dust and I didn't know when it had been cleaned.I tried to clean off the dirt from my trip and freshen up, but there was no toilet or bathroom in the room (room 101), not even a sink.It is located outside, about 10 meters away, and is extremely cramped and far from ideal for relieving the fatigue of a journey.The washing bowl is small and has a shelf attached above it.I repeatedly urged the owner to try it out and take a look, but he was very hesitant.I reluctantly used it, but it got soaked with water.This is my first time staying at an inn like this.If I had to give a star, it would be the one on Kohama Island where I stayed on Tuesday, April 9, 2024.Resort hotel in MurubushiA gold star for the price, which is on par with the ocean view breakfast buffet with cart included.I don't want to be reminded of this, but I would like to make a comment for those who will visit Yaeyama next time.On the homepage 🏡 (Miai photo),Please be careful 😊

Visited in April. I stayed at LOTUS, an inn near Kabira Bay, for two nights for an early morning dive.This room is a renovated camper van, and you can enjoy the owner's handmade feel and hospitality.It is spacious and well-equipped with a refrigerator, microwave, 2 toilets, 2 air conditioners, and 3 beds. The washing machine space is outside and coin operated.There is a shower room in the room, but there is also a shared jacuzzi bath separate from the room, which you can use by making a reservation.The fact that there was a jacuzzi bath during my stay was a deciding factor, and I was able to use it for two days.Meals are served in a separate building.We also have drinks such as draft beer, awamori, wine, and shochu high, so it is recommended for those who want to drink alcohol in an izakaya style.Dinner on the first day was Okinawan cuisine.Dinner on the second day was grilled Ishigaki beef, with lots of high-quality cuts!The Ishigaki beef cut by the owner, who used to be a yakiniku restaurant, was extremely delicious.All the meals were delicious.The owner and his wife were very friendly, and we had a great time listening to them tell us a lot of stories.The pet cats and dog Shuri were also very clever, and the inn had a warm and relaxing atmosphere.Owner! I’m looking forward to the mud buggy~✨

☆★It was a wonderful inn where you could feel the care and kindness in everything from the rooms and facilities to the food and customer service★☆I stayed there for 2 nights on my first trip to Ishigaki Island from Hokkaido. [The husband and his wife are both very kind] and they made rice balls early in the morning for us to bring to our departure, and responded immediately if we needed anything.The room was a large trailer-based cottage [with 3 beds including a double bed], stylish and warmly decorated, and there were two air conditioners to fit the space, so it was comfortable even on hot days. It is also convenient that there are two toilets. There is an easy-to-use shower in the room, and a Jacuzzi in a separate building that can be rented out on a rotating basis, so you can stretch your legs and take a bath. There is a barbecue space and several table sets outside, where you can take a break, drink beer, and relax.And the food. For both the island cuisine course on the first day and the Ishigaki beef course on the second day, the ingredients and cooking methods of each dish were carefully selected, and there were about 8 types including rare parts.The [A5 rank Ishigaki beef] was one of a kind. The pieces were so large that I thought I wouldn't be able to finish them all when they were lined up on a platter, but this was the first time I had tasted meat that truly embodies the idea of ​​``sweet and delicious fat, yet refreshing and irresistible.'' I received it. Coupled with the delicious rice cooked in small pots for each group and the [premium draft beer that only a few shops in Ishigaki sell], you can eat all the meat perfectly and deliciously without feeling heartburn. My stomach felt happy and my mouth felt happy.Furthermore, we will provide you with information unique to the area, such as nearby attractions and activities. ] The glass-bottomed boat run by an experienced captain takes you right up to the edge of the coral reef, making it a sight to see; the owner uses his years of experience to guide you to the best spots for diving; what time tonight is the best time to see the starry sky; etc.I could feel that they really wanted people to eat delicious food and enjoy themselves.I especially felt that the food was better than expensive hotels or regular famous restaurants. You can't choose from the menu, so you can eat pretty much anything, so it's especially recommended for people who enjoy trying something new.Then, [I have one dog and four cats. ] This is also a great point for those of us who love animals, and it was so cute that the dog, Akari, became attached to me and slept with me. However, if you are not good at it, please be careful. ][The whole place is stylish and clean, but everything is taken care of by just two people. The focus is especially on the food, so if you're concerned about the details, a hotel might be better for you. 】I gave only the guest room a 4 ★ because a rating of 5 stars for everything was questionable, but from a feeling I gave it all 5 stars.The famous resort on the island where I stayed afterwards and the luxury hotel on another island where I stayed last year were wonderful, but I liked Lotus the best.It's a long way away, so I wonder when I can go next time.I will be sure to visit you again at that time.I couldn't comment on 〇〇bu Travel, probably because I made a reservation without registering as a member...I'm sorry.
