    There is big space between bed and wall so everything falls down, and can't recover it until next morning when other traveler wakes up.

    lovely staff! great location!

    Great location, very close to the ferry port and airport bus stop. The shopping street is nearby, and there are tons of restaurants in the surrounding area. Had everything you'd expect and need at a hostel.

    * very convenient location: close to bus terminal and Port * spacious rooms with enough space for luggage; lockers in good size. * rooftop that is open 24/7 * discounts on marine activities * using the washing machine is very cheap * If you're looking for some quiet nights: the common area inside/kitchen are free to use until 11pm. Therefore after 11pm there is no noise when you're trying to sleep. You can still meet people on the rooftop though! * friendly staff

    The owner Nao San is a lovely bloke and speaks perfect English with an Ozzy twang.As soon as I arrived he was warm and welcoming . He’s also an avid scuba tour diver and knows the best spots. It’s a bit rustic ( which I liked ) like Khao San Road in the early days, a great first and last night . He’s also a telephone call away if you are stuck/ need help on the other islands. I feel the real Yaeyama adventures starts here. I would definitely stay again.

    Staff were so great but owner it is a little 'busy'. So when I asked about something she seems to be hurry everytime.

    I like that staff were so friendly and they help me when I asked about where I can visit around!! And you can become friends with other guests inside . 優しくてありがとうございます! Place is so centric and you can find stores, bus stop and ferry near of you.

    slightly dirtier than i expected. the single rooms aren't completely enclosed at the windows so you can hear your neighbours but bearable with earplugs.

    great location. friendly staff. good price. able to leave your luggage before and after checkout.

    Only AC in the bedroom and not in the common area or the kitchen, making it very uncomfortable to be there. No sheets on the bed, which felt dirty

    Close to restaurants and the port. Has a kitchen.

    Great place to stay
    • Leisure trip
    • Family with young children
    • Twin Room with Shared Bathroom
    • Stayed 7 nights

    The steps are quite steep from one side, so difficult to climb with luggage, we were helped by the host. Use the back stairs from within the market, as they are much easier to climb.

    It was a great place to stay in Ishigaki and use as a hub to hop to different Yaeyama islands for day trips. Also, near the bus station, so was convenient. It was close to Family mart, JA Farmers market and other restaurants nearby. The hostel was kept clean, and the rooms are comfortable with A/C. The people we met in the hostel were friendly and nice, we got to chat with everyone in the evenings in the dining area and on the roof.

    Not really comfortable but good location

    • Couple
    • Twin Room with Shared Bathroom
    • Stayed 6 nights

    The staff was not really helpful and the woman who welcomed us, even if she was nice, barely spoke english, which made the communication difficult. We were not even told that we could borrow bikes for free, thankfully another guest told us. We booked a private room for 6 nights and they didn't even offer us to clean it once, while they were cleaning regularly the common space... The comfort is really minimal, beds not super comfy. You can hear very clearly all the noises from the common area, thankfully the noise curfew of 11pm was respected. The info of the snorkeling tours offered by the company of the owner of the guesthouse were not updated in our room and actually were much more expensive now, so we didn't take it. Ok for 2-3 days but not more I would say. Value for price is not that good, but everything is a bit pricey on the island in overall.

    The location of the guesthouse is the best part, it's in the middle of the center of the city and very close to the bus station, so you can go everywhere easily. Some other japanese guests made the stay nicer as they were friendly and very willing to discuss with us in the common space. Be aware that this guesthouse hosts mainly japanese guests (we were the only foreigners for our whole stay ; 6 nights), and a lot of older people surprisingly. There is a kitchen and the bathrooms stay clean which is nice.
