My husband and I stayed there for four nights. We enjoied relaxing few days after busy sightseeing trip in other areas of Japan. Our ocean view room was spacious and comfortable with a recently remodeled well desinged bathroom. I specially enjoyed large sliding doors that opened out to the balcony and allowed ocean breeze to come into the room. The staff created welcoming atmosphere and were always helpful. One day when we mentioned them that we were going to take a morning walk to a nearby village/beach, they presented us with a hand towels just in case we needed them.
It is located away from commercial areas. Taxi rides may be needed to go places. We did fine without, except from and to the airport. Limitted hotel shuttles to downtown area as well as frequent local bus services are available. We did snorkeling for few afternoons, but a local outfitter provided transportation to this hotel.
This hotel help us experience a rejuvenating Ishigaki island vacation.
