Guest House Minato-ya

The owner is a very friendly and nice person, but it may not be suitable for those who want to sightsee at their own pace or those who have a set schedule of things to do.There was a pick-up at the port, but no drop-off.I can tell that he cares about people, but I felt a little lonely as he had to act at the owner's pace...I get the impression that he didn't know what his true intentions were and what his tatemae meant.The stay was 5,000 yen and the room was spacious and clean. I'm really glad I had nail clippers.However, I heard that there were no rooms available and a special room was prepared for me, but when I heard later, it seems that there were rooms available...(?)I was also offered dinner + all-you-can-drink for 2,000 yen, and although I gently declined the offer several times because I was traveling and didn't have the money, I was told that I would regret it if they would serve me some decent food, so I asked for it.As for the food, the homemade tamagoyaki and stir-fried vegetables were delicious, but the rest were about two side dishes from the supermarket.I had three beers and one glass of shochu poured for the all-you-can-drink meal, but 1.5 hours into the meal, I was asked to go back to my room (because I had to speak to a customer who was sitting with me) and the meal was canceled.I was interrupted by another person I was having dinner with, and as I was climbing the stairs, I heard someone say, ``He's leaving tomorrow, so don't worry.'' cryingBy the way, before dinner, I was shown something else to drink this beer, but it was actually happoshu (?)There is a bathroom line in the restaurant, so I decided to take a shower the next day. However, when I woke up around 8:00 the next morning, he said, ``I have a plan, so please come out at 8:30.'' In the end, I couldn't take a shower until I returned in the afternoon.During the day, I borrowed the owner's car.My condition was to take out personal insurance for one day and return the car with a full tank of fuel, but I had half a meter of gasoline left and it would cost about 3,500 yen to refuel. The price was about the same or slightly cheaper than renting at a cheap rental car shop.On the first day, I was taken for a free drive, and I had a lot of fun seeing the bullfighting training in the evening, the ocean, and the owner's campsite.However, it is also true that I felt sad.I visited during my trip around Japan!I try to give honest reviews!--------------------Instagram/Twitter@discover_n2022--------------------

Too much interferenceI can't do what I planned and it's too intrusive, so I can't recommend it to people who have something they want to do.It ended up costing me a lot because they wanted to charge extra for something.Unlike a normal guesthouse, you cannot use the kitchen etc.Also, the dirty jokes were harsh.

The owner is a caring and talkative old man from the island.He is one of the few tour guides on the island and has lived in the inland for many years and is very knowledgeable.During the tour, we were able to see whales, bullfighting bulls, etc.People who like listening to stories will enjoy this.Not suitable for people who want to spend a quiet time.The words, ``If you burn with passion, people will follow.People cannot leave people who are burning with passion'' resonated in my heart.We look forward to working with you again when you come to Tokunoshima.

Best for me.If you expect a so-called ordinary accommodation, you might get tired.If you are looking for an inn or service in the middle of the city, it is better not to go there.It's a fun and warm inn that makes you feel like you're staying at the home of a distant relative on Tokunoshima.The price is cheap! ! And no matter how you look at it, the free beer and coffee and the food they give us every now and then are in the red. We negotiated a full tank of gas to get to the car. . .The owner likes to talk, and people from the city might think he's a weirdo, but he has the same sense of distance as the islanders of old.Definitely recommended for Tokunoshima people and nature lovers.If you think, ``I just want to be able to do sightseeing,'' please stop.If you feel that hospitality is an interference, please stop.This is what the hospitality of the island people was like in the past.I feel sad when I am degraded. . .Recommended for backpackers, solo travelers, and people who like socializing.This may be the place to test your mettle.I highly recommend it as an extra edition of the currently trending "Omoumai Store".This is such an inn.

I visited as a solo female traveler.The room was very clean and comfortable, with air conditioning and a TV. The owner, Mr. Tsune, was warm and provided us with a lot of hospitality.With Mr. Tsune as our guide, we were able to see many rare animals, including not only Amami rabbits, but also endangered woolly rats and habucatchers. Of course, the kinds of creatures you see will vary depending on the time, but it's very exciting to go to places you can't go alone at night to look for creatures.We became good friends with the people who were staying at the same time, and it was great that we ate together and went looking for Amami rabbits!It was a very fun and comfortable stay. This time, I had the opportunity to talk with Mr. Tsune's island friends, and I was able to get a feel for life on Tokunoshima. I definitely want to visit again 😆

Located near a big supercenter nishimuta, the hostel is good. for long duration it's possible to get lower price, the owner is friendly, flexible and helpful. ask him about a guided tours. He's one of the best in watching black rabbit, also making casual tasty food.

I asked for a guide to guide me around the island, but at the last minute they kept demanding changes to the conditions or additional fees, which made me feel bad.The guide skills were not very good.

Nice place, the master offers other activities, specialist at black rabbit watching. For long stay duration you can get a good deal.

I took a photo of the proverb that was posted on the toilet, and I still have it.spring summer fall winterWhen interacting with peopleA warm heart like springwhen workingA heart that burns like summerwhen thinking about thingsA clear heart like autumnWhen you blame yourselfA heart as harsh as winterIs this the work of the owner? The last time I stayed with him, the owner took me to many places to see in Tokunoshima. thank you very much.
