Hotels near Ishigakijima Observatory, Ishigaki

Mesmerizing hotel! As soon as we stepped inside, we immediately felt so relaxed. Everything in this hotel contributes to giving it a very peaceful and quiet atmosphere, from the super friendly and accommodating staff to the slow-paced breakfast and the sea view from the bedroom. This is a new hotel and the equipment is very modern and elegant (bathroom, toilet, walls) and the bedding is extremely comfortable, including super pajamas! The breakfast is served at 7:30am or 8:30am with Japanese and Western options available. They also offer dinner options with a few hours' notice. There is a bus stop nearby but it's definitely better to have a car as it seemed difficult to walk around and find beaches/restaurants, though that also makes the place very quiet and relaxing. Excellent value for money, we browsed a lot of options and this might be the best one if you do not want to go for a resort-style hotel.

Very clean and well organised. The guest house is kept spotless and has all that you may need. From the rooms which are very well organised and each person has his unique space kind of like a small room to himself, to the temperature of the aircon, which too often is kept very low, whereas here it is kept cool but not freezing. The service is very good, there is always someone in reception from 7AM to 11PM and they are always ready to help. Toilets are super clean and well kept, and you are given 2 towels daily for you to use. Also, if you stay more than 5 nights, you get a new set of bedsheets to use (you have to change them on your own). The kitchen is very well equipped and if you want to cook, they have all the necessary tools. Also, the common room is very well displayed, it is cosy and a nice space to socialize. An additional room to hang to dry wet clothes is outside of the back entry and can be very handy after a day at the seaside. Overall, one of the best guesthouses I have been in during my trip in Japan.

Arrived on a rainy day, but the room view was amazing. However, the room condition wasn't as clean as I'd hoped, and I even spotted a cockroach ^^; But I understand that these resort-style areas tend to have a lot of bugs anyway. Due to a typhoon warning, I spent a lot of time indoors, but the variety of programs and the indoor pool made it bearable. Next time, I'd love to visit on a nice, sunny day.

This is a great resort on the island. The rooms are spacious, and they have a bonfire at night. Check-in was quick with no waiting. Everything was excellent, perfect for a relaxing stay. The only minor downside is that it's a bit far from the city center, but there are always taxis waiting.

Fuku-chan, Nicole and ２ cats, algae balls and boiled beans were gently welcomed, and the number of days of stay passed in no time. It is a very satisfying inn and recommended to everyone. The interior and exterior are very nice. I feel like 〜 I came to the resort. I used the parking lot for renting a car. The living room is clean and comfortable. The bed futon was very fluffy and I could sleep well. The area is very convenient location if you have a car rental. It is very close to Fusaki Beach and you can walk to the beach (passing the main building of Fusaki Beach Resort, especially no procedures). I had breakfast. The dishes that are particular about each ingredient and seasoning will heal your mind and body. We have never experienced it, but we can receive healing treatments and Yoga. It is an inn that I want to visit again.

The experience was quite disappointing. The hotel receptionists were not helpful and friendly when we ask questions face to face and through phone call. The toilet is quite small. Surprisingly there is no room cleaning service if you stay less than 3 nights, not even clearing your trash bins. During our stay, we heard repeated announcements late in the night and they were all in Japanese. Only when we translated them by our phone we realised it was about the fire alarm. A lot of other hotel residents gathered in the lobby waiting for further instructions. We saw a staff sitting in the office but until the end of the day no one give any information nor explain anything. We ended up going back to our room after our own assessment.

Although it is a bit far from the city center, it didn't matter much since we rented a car. We were satisfied because we could see the beautiful, uncrowded sea from our room. At night, you can see the stars clearly just by stepping out onto the balcony. The room was spacious, so it didn't feel cramped for a family of four, and it was clean. The breakfast was better than expected, and all the staff were friendly. The swimming pool is small, but it wasn't inconvenient as hardly anyone used it. However, the parking lot seemed a bit small. It didn't seem like there were that many guests, but there were no spaces available late at night. Nevertheless, it was a satisfying stay overall.

It's a really nice place and comes fully equipped, including a washer with detergent and a spacious balcony for air drying clothes. The toiletries and amenities are also great, and even the toilet paper is good quality, not thin or flimsy. You can occasionally hear sounds from the corridor, but they are brief and not very disruptive. There is no street noise, very quiet. However, if you book a second floor room, you will need to carry your luggage up the stairs. Free parking is available. The location is a short walk to the town area and public market, and about a seven minute walk to the bus stop. Before check in, you need to call the property to get the door code, as there are usually no staff on site, you could do it via app so it is fre. This may be inconvenient for some guests. I recommend calling in advance, as they do not always pick up immediately.

I decided on this place simply for its value, but it exceeded my expectations. All the basic amenities are provided. Towels are also replaced daily. Laundry detergent is available for 50 yen. There's also a washer and dryer, so no need to worry about laundry. 😀 The downtown area is only a 5-minute walk away. There's also a Family Mart just a minute away, which is convenient. If I ever return to Ishigaki, I would book this place again without hesitation.
