Highly recommended. The house's owner: Hiro-san was super friendly, welcoming and amazing guy! During our check-in, he found out it was our very 1st time visiting Ishigaki island so he gave us a very detailed guide & recommendations including: sunrise/sunset time, precautions for the ocean, island geography, etc. Best condensed 15-mins Ishigaki guide from a person living there that beats everything you could find online!

バス停から近く、近くに食事ができるところやお弁当の売ってる商店もあります。それらも含め、チェックイン時に詳しく周辺の案内をしてくださり、何かあっても親切に対応してくれます。設備も一通りそろっていて、困る事は無いと思います。ただ、「いびき、寝言、はぎしり」のひどい方はお断りのようですので要注意です。それにしても、何より、白保の珊瑚礁に最も近いのがポイントです。

a relaxing accommodation in a coastal village

The accommodation situtation close to the bus stop and the beach. There's a little farm in front of it, I like to see the goats and pig "pigumi"! Very quiet and relaxing environment is perfect for escape from noisy city life! There's a great BBQ place and roof top to enjoy the starry night (if there's clear sky)!

旅人が集まるステキな場所

台風による足止めで、急遽泊まるところを探さないといけなかったために利用。狭い部屋に2段ベッド2つで計4名のシェアルームに一泊しました。他の旅行者との交流もあり、共同生活ができるので思わぬ出会いもあります。初めて出会う人たちと色々話せてとても楽しく過ごせました。今度は少し長く滞在してみたいです。 外にブタちゃんいたのが可愛かった！

スタッフがフレンドリー

空港から近い泊まれるところを探しこちらに泊まりました。 みなさんフレンドリーで親切。 ただ朝、空港に向かう時に誰もいなくて すっかり渡してもらっていた部屋の鍵を返し忘れて 空港に着いてしまいました。 空港にある届けてくれるとこにお願いし、500円かかりました。 最後、鍵の返し忘れに注意！

お宿に着いた時からとてもフレンドリーな空気いっぱいのお宿で、１人旅でしたが楽しい旅の思い出ができました。 お宿から海がすぐで、朝は日の出を、夜は星空を見に行きました。天の川見える星空はお宿の３階からもよく見えて、みんなで寝転がって見たのも素敵な思い出です。 何よりありがたかったのは、スタッフの方が旅の行程を毎日相談に乗ってくださったこと。限られた時間の中で、離島を満喫できるように、行き方や時間配分まで相談に乗ってくださったおかげで、大満足の旅ができました。 楽しい旅と、楽しい素敵な人との出会いがあるお宿です。また石垣島に行くなら絶対ここに泊まりたいと思います^ ^
