Hotels near MInsah Kogei Museum, Ishigaki

It was my first time staying in a condo in Japan, and it was much more convenient to have a small kitchen area. Because the room is on an island, the air conditioner and ventilation must be turned on all the time, otherwise there will be a damp smell. The bed is a little hard, and you can feel the springs. The space is not very spacious. We stayed for four nights in a row, and it felt a bit cramped once the things were spread out, and it was difficult to put your feet. The breakfast was super, super good! The all-you-can-eat seafood donburi, I had to have a bowl every day! There was a blue seal self-service breakfast, which was awesome. Coffee and tea were unlimited all day, and the coffee was just ordinary black coffee, not the kind of machine where you can choose latte or cappuccino. There is a shop opposite the hotel that makes wooden clogs and tatami mats. I really want to go and check it out, but I am still a little timid. There is a machine for drawing Okinawa souvenirs at the door of the store. I drew a second-hand key chain of Mr. Mi, which is super worth it.

I came to Ishigaki Island for business and then went to play for a few days. I booked this art hotel. It was very cost-effective and good in all aspects. The room we booked was quite large, and the bathroom was separated into wet and dry areas, but it was on the second floor and there was no window to see out. The hotel breakfast was very rich and tasted good. The interesting thing about the hotel is that if you don't need to clean or just clean, you can exchange a 1,000 yen or 500 yen coupon to use in the hotel shop. There are many activities on the first floor of the hotel that you can sign up for a group tour, which will depart directly from the hotel and be sent back after the tour. The location of the hotel is also quite convenient. There are food and commercial streets not far away. The only regret is that there is no gym, and it is a bit far to go to the beach.

The most annoying thing about this hotel is the poor light blocking ability of the rooms. There are no blackout curtains, so your sleep is disturbed at dawn in the morning. Also, during my stay, there was a thunderstorm in the middle of the night, and the lightning lit up the room (although earplugs prevented the thunder), waking me up every time. The next annoying thing was checking in. The hotel was unmanned, so you were forced to check in by yourself by entering your details into the machine, but for some reason, even if you entered your reservation number as instructed on the screen, or the phone number you used when making the reservation, it was not accepted at all, and I ended up protesting by phone, and was finally able to check in. Incidentally, there was no information on the reservation review screen in advance that the hotel was unmanned. If I had known from the beginning that it was unmanned, I would not have chosen this hotel. I hope that the operators of this reservation site will improve this lack of important information in the future. The third annoying thing was the low temperature of the water for the shower and bathtub in the bathroom. I looked everywhere for the water temperature control device but couldn't find it, and gave up on the first day because I was late taking a bath. I called again the next day to protest, and was told that the temperature control device was located next to the guest room entrance, far away from the bathroom. If it's in such a ridiculous location, why don't they give some kind of information to the customer? In the first place, why do they have to set such a low temperature as the default in the first place? The guest rooms are relatively spacious, have facilities such as a range and a water heater, and are right in front of the bus stop, so it's a shame that the basic points of a lodging facility as mentioned above are not provided, even though there are many good points.

The facilities and amenities were new and perfect. There was a USB port next to the bed. AirPlay was also possible. Netflix was not available. The bathroom had a small step between the room and the bathroom. There was indirect lighting. Breakfast was a buffet with not many varieties, but it was enough. There were many good points such as coin laundry, lockers that can be used before and after checking out, and free parking. There was also a video of exercises. The room faced the parking lot, so people could peek into us and taxis would pull up next to us, so there was no privacy at all, and we had to keep the curtains closed all the time, as if the room had no windows.

The hotel is a bit old, but the maintenance of Japanese hotel facilities is still impeccable, and the hygiene is spotless. It is great to be on such a small island as Ishigaki Island. The hotel is not far from the port bus station, and it takes seven or eight minutes to walk there. There are also many restaurants nearby, including sashimi, Ishigaki beef, and home cooking. The hotel is particularly good in that the laundry room has nine washing machines and dryers, as well as microwave ovens, vending machines, and ice machines. We happened to travel during the week of Japan's Obon Festival, and nine washing machines can basically meet our needs, which is definitely enough for normal times. There are not many types of breakfast, but considering the size of the hotel, it is already very good, and the service is very good. In general, Ishigaki Island Visser is a hotel worth returning to.

The room is nice and big. It can accommodate 4 people. The breakfast and dinner are very good with a variety of choices. There are activities for adults and children to play, and the scenery is beautiful!

It's a little far from the remote island terminal, the bus center, and the downtown area, but it's not too far to walk. It's a good distance away, so it's quiet and relaxing. It's also convenient that there's a convenience store right in front of it. There is a large public bath, and you can choose your shampoo and other items, and they also provide a welcome drink. I think it's good value for money.

The hotel has high-rise buildings with sea views and garden villas. I chose the latter because it is newly built. The price is slightly cheaper. There is a free shuttle bus from the airport to the hotel. Just make an appointment on the hotel's official website in advance. Surprise 1 when arriving at the hotel: If you stay for two consecutive nights and do not need cleaning, but only exchange towels and yukatas, you will receive a 1,000 yen hotel supermarket shopping voucher. Surprise 2: Welcome drink in the lobby ~ Free flow of Okinawa Orion beer😍 Surprise 3: The room is very spacious, about 30 square meters, equipped with a Nestle coffee machine and 4 freshly ground coffees; there are welcome drinks in the refrigerator, 4 bottles of mineral water, 2 cans of Okinawa tea, 2 cans of sparkling wine, and 2 cans of Orion beer, only on the first day, all free😱 Toiletries are available, and the girls' skin care products are DHC. The bathtub is deep and large. Of course, people who are used to hot springs can go to the big bath. The sauna is 86 degrees. The island is hot and humid, just right for dehumidification✌️ The garden is very beautiful, and the outdoor swimming pool is particularly beautiful at night👍 Surprise 4: The buffet breakfast is very delicious, and it is most suitable for people who want to try all the local Okinawan cuisine at once. The hotel has a car rental service. You only need to make an appointment by phone in advance, pick up the car in the hotel parking lot, and return it to the same place. It costs 8,500 yen a day. You don’t need to fill up the gasoline when returning. It is convenient and cheap👌 Thank you hotel, a great stay experience🙏

There is a free shuttle bus out of the airport. If you go to the information desk and ask to go to Fusaki Beach Resort, they will show you the way. It runs about once an hour. There is no one around the hotel, so you have to rely on the hotel's own restaurant for meals. There are four of us in total, and we ate at the Western restaurant buffet next to the lobby. Dinner is 5,800 yen/person for adults. The quality of the food is very good and worth the price. There is also a restaurant called Ryukyu New World. Looking at the menu price, six very thin slices of Ishigaki beef are about 2,800 yen. The room includes breakfast, the quality is not as good as dinner, but it is also acceptable. There are short-distance battery cars inside the hotel for pick-up, and you need to scan the code to call a car. In fact, it only takes about ten minutes to walk from the easternmost to the westernmost. On the last day, I waited for almost ten minutes to check out during the morning rush hour, but I didn't get to the queue, so I pushed my suitcase away. The beach and sea water are very good. There is a shell park to the west of the pier, and you can fish on the pier (fishing gear is rented by the day). You need to bring your own beach slippers, otherwise you can go to the hotel store and buy them. Children's armbands are free, and all others are rented by the day. Swimming rings are 500 yen a day, and life jackets are 1200 a day. The staff is quite responsible. There are always lifeguards watching the beach and the heated pool is always patrolled. The hotel's glass boat is worth a ride, and the coral reef is very beautiful.
