Goyah-so Guesthouse

cozy and friendly stay, tnx

Hide san, He make my first trip in Okinawa and travelling alone is quite good, really impresed.

I would say, the owner, Hide was very special, talented, and did great in executing Omotenashi spirit, rooted in Japanese mindset of hospitality centering around care rather than expectation, during our stays. The house itself was very unique and had all kinds of handmade features everywhere, much to our enjoyment!! I am sure all Japanese and non-Japanese visitors will enjoy staying there. It is not your ordinary hotel experience. Instead, it is a zen environment where you must be respectful to and aware of your fellow guests. During the Izakaya style happy hours, you get to listen to Hide’s Sanshin (Okinawa guitars) performance. The room we stayed in reminds me of my grandma’s house: old and traditional yet amazingly tidy and cozy. I highly recommend it!!

I would just like to let other foreignors know that this property is super nice it gives you a real insight on what a ryokan should be the staff were very helpful even though I didn't speak any Japanese and they were very nice. Lots of fun little pubs and restaurants nearby and very central so you can travel all over. Also the bus stops right outside the property so if your not driving public transport can get you there definitely would come back:)
