"Although not within close proximity to train station, which is what we'd have preferred, the hotel is just a short walk from a bus stop - there are two buses that can bring you there from the Miyako train station. Buses run regularly during the day - be sure to grab a bus schedule at the train station or the tourist information center situated right next door. Sightseeing bus depot or train for the coast starts from the train station. Hotel does not provide drinking water - buy your own from vending machines or boil it. Laundry machines available. Spacious eating area for breakfast (Japanese style). Overall kudos to staff for its efficiency (check in, taxi hailing) and cleanliness. This hotel was completely renovated in recent years and the exterior photo on the website doesn't do it's justice. BTW, this area was heavily affected in 2011 by the tsunami."

"A truly amazing hotel at one of the most picturesque beaches in Japan. I seemed to be the only Westerner in the hotel and the staff very very helpful, kind and humorous. The room was massive and the view of the bay magnificent. I will return!"
