It's run by Oba and Ozzy, it's reasonably priced, there's parking for 4 cars, and the communal shower is spacious, but the men's restroom doesn't have washlets and there are only one restroom for men and women.

My grandfather and grandmother are kind.However, as I have recently gotten older, my memory and movement are somewhat compromised.Prices are due at the time of check-out (post-payment), but if you pay in advance, please receive a receipt.It's located inside Chahana, so it's convenient for drinking and shopping at night.As other guesthouses have become more expensive, the prices here have also gone up; until 2016 it was ¥3,000 with breakfast, in summer 2017 it was ¥3,500 with breakfast, and in summer 2018 it was ¥4,000 with breakfast. The price is increasing rapidly every year.The building has been around for a long time. It's probably been over 50 years.Of course, there is no such thing as WiFi.The majority of the people staying at the hotel are men who work in the construction industry, 80-100%. Partly because of this, the parking lot in the back is always full of construction vehicles.The rooms seem to be non-smoking, but there is a smoking corner in the middle of the hallway, and during the day when construction workers are out, no one smokes, but on holidays, in the evening, and at night, the hallway is filled with the smell of cigarettes.There is a shared refrigerator in the smoking corner, but it is also occupied by beer and other alcoholic beverages used by construction workers, so there is no space at all.While the prices have gone up, the meals have become more basic each year, and are among the lowest for guesthouse meals, and are not worth the 1,000 yen breakfast and 1,500 yen dinners. I also think it's because my grandmother is getting older and has a questionable sense of taste, but the miso soup doesn't have any flavor at all. I recommend staying overnight without meals and eating out or having a boxed lunch from a nearby supermarket.There are Japanese-style and Western-style toilets, but the Western-style toilets are small and difficult to enter. There is no washlet either. The toilet flushes, but the smell of the toilet is strong. The smell can be felt in the hallway and in nearby rooms.The exterior was repaired a few years ago and is now beautiful, but the interior remains the same.This is an old Japanese-style guesthouse room with tatami mats, and you can use the air conditioner and TV for free.There is also a washing machine and gas dryer (both free of charge), which is convenient for an inn on a southern island where laundry is done every day.The bath is large and can accommodate 10 people at the same time. There are separate buildings for men and women at the back of the parking lot, and they are probably open 24 hours a day. There is a bathtub, but only a shower without hot water.It's spacious so it's convenient to wash your beach gear, diving equipment, etc. The entrance is always open, just covered with curtains. (I think you can see inside from the parking lot, but I think you can close the door.)Anyway, the building is old, and the opening and closing of the toilet door and the door to the back stairs echo loudly throughout the building, and you'll be woken up at night by the sound.It's on the cheaper side of Yoron Island (it's not the cheapest, so I recommend searching for nearby guesthouses and inns), but it's probably Yoron's only place with simple food, no WiFi, open bathrooms, noisy buildings, and fairly period equipment. You just need to decide whether you can accept the cigarette-smelling hallways, etc., and stay there.

I don't want to stay at this hotel, it's popular because it only offers meals without reservations, and it's the worst kind of human being.Even when I call, I just get an answering machine.This is the worst thing I've ever waited for.
