Host was really friendly and likes to talk to his guests. Very helpfull Room was nice. Space for luggage behind the bed. curtain for privacy The house itself is old but clean. Very homey feeling.

First and foremost, the owner was absolutely lovely and so welcoming. He was very happy to chat without being intrusive, and he gave me a lot of information on the area. He really makes sure you are easily settled in with all the information you need about the guesthouse and your stay. The other guests and the owner's friends who sometimes visit are also very friendly and really welcome you in. The guesthouse is one that accommodates only eight guests (four females, four males, each split into two rooms) so it's a cosy and warm place to stay. You have access to a well equipped kitchen (fridge, stove top, utensils etc) as well as a washing machine and dryer. Before arriving, I was worried about sharing the shower but because everyone seems to rinse down the shower after use, it stays nice and clean. (This doesn't happen often in other places with shared bathrooms.) So, it was a pleasant surprise. As for the sleeping area, it's a little different from usual guesthouses where they're often open bunk beds. Here, however, they're set out like capsule hotel beds so it feels a little more private. At the ends of each bed there is extra space for your belongings (enough for one large suitcase) plus a security box too. Also, the bed itself was comfortable enough that I could have slept for ages without pain.

I visited Ishigaki Island just when it was starting to get warm The rooms have an air conditioning system for the whole room. However, if you close your curtains to your bed fully, it can still get quite warm. (I'm not very good with heat, so really it's a problem that's personal.) However, there is readily provided a small desk fan for each bed which worked well enough for me. One other personal preference I would have liked to have had was a bidet (you know, the usual Japanese ones; I just can't live without them now). The toilet in the guesthouse was very clean and modern but just lacked that extra washing facility that I've grown to love since living in Japan. (Cue the meme of Chris Pratt in Parks and Recreation).

The place was a short walk from the ferry. Stay was comfortable and was nice chatting with the owner.

Everything was perfect, the owner was highly accommodating and friendly, he helped with many things, the beds are comfortable and there's space for your luggage, a power source, a light and a tent

nothing really

Great place and host! The guest house is brand new so I had the privileage of being the first customer. I had a great experience and I totally recommend the place.
