The host comes in everyday to thoroughly clean and wipe the room, which is really nice. The location was also good, a lot of things were in walkable distance and if they weren't the next bus stop wasn't far. The terrace of the guest house is really comfortable and when we were there the other people staying at the guest house were super friendly - We even found a new friend who we spontaneously traveled around Ishigaki with.

The hostel was located a walkable distance from the port and center of the center and was close to restaurants and shops as well. The manager was friendly and accommodating when it came to our check-in time. The hostel itself is homey with shared kitchen and eating spaces, bathrooms, and shower rooms. We were able to get a private room that had bunk beds, a desk, and air conditioning. We were also given a key so that we could lock up the room when we were not there which was nice. My favorite thing about the hostel was the way that all the guests were able to hang out in the shared kitchen and dining space in the evenings until lights out at 11. During our stay there we were able to join other guests for food and drinks around the table and made friends with several of them. The hostel also has outside sitting space and a rooftop patio as well which made for nice areas to hang out. The hostel also had a couple of bikes available for guests to use.

The walls of the hostel were a little thin so you could hear a lot of the movement if people got up early or came in late but I think that is sort of to be expected in a hostel.

・very friendly owner ・clean facility(kitchen and bathroom are awesome) ・comfortable shared space(including rooftop) I stayed in single room which only cost 2,700JPY/night. I have stayed at many guesthouses in many countries, and this house is one of the best of them.

The location was excellent - maybe 10-15 minutes from the centre of Yaeyama and the main ferry terminal so access to other islands was super easy. The hostel is near two main roads so transport to the airport and other places on the main island was very accessible. There was also a large Family Mart on the route to town which was extremely convenient. The host was super friendly and very happy to give us recommendations for places. He was always around which made asking for help with things simple. The facilities were routinely cleaned and excellently provisioned (e.g. my shoes had to dry one night and there were loads of flip flops I could borrow). Overall, a very relaxed and inviting hostel experience, with a great host.

N/A I really enjoyed my stay.

Very good location in town, short walk to the port and food district's. Free bike and snorkel rental plus recommendations for anything you need, scuba stores, car rental etc.

Noisy roommates but they won't be here by the time you come to visit

We enjoyed our stay in this guest house very much! Super chill out atmosphere with a really relaxing terrace, and the whole place is super clean. The owner is super friendly!! Highly recommended!

nice owner, good kitchen, clean rooms and bathrooms, nice rooftop

Big hostel on the top of building with good views and lots of hangout space (the nicest of any hostels on our 1.5 month travel through japan!). The kitchen and bathrooms were also good, though we ate out every night. The host was very nice and helpful even with the language barrier. Our private double was large.

It was a little bit of walk into town.

Close to the ferry, clean, spacious dorm with room for luggage. Good kitchen and indoor and outdoor shared space. You can do laundry. Everything a traveller needs. Also nice host who took me on a tour around the island. Great place!

friendly place
