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!
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)!
All I can say is 5 days to short, the place is so relaxing,and the hosts, well I miss them already, made me feel very welcome, l can,t praise them enough, Thankyou.
The accommodation was superb, and where the guest house was set was ideal, I for one will definitely iñ the near future come back,.a
