Wow, very nice and cosy Guesthouse, you can find everything you need, it's a little outside the centre but there are free bicycles available and the lady of the hostel came to pick me up and took me to the port with the car for the ferry. I highly recommend!

“Perfect”
The guest house is one of the best I ever done. The quality/price ratio is perfect. The others guests are also very nice, and the staff is really helpful. They came to the port to pick us even if I asked them 15 minutes before. They helped us to book a rental car with a reasonable price. You can also rent motor bikes for only 2000 a day. We were a groupe of 3 (2 women and 1 man) and both of the dormitory were really clean. All the common area were also really clean. I will definitely comeback here if I have the opportunity to go back to Iriomote.

“A gem of a place on a gem of an island”
Everything was wonderful. A gem of a place to stay. It’s in a slightly out-of-the-way area, which we loved.

It's such a wonderful place that you don't want to leave. I’ve made amazing connections there. But what matters most is the constant attention given to your stay and the valuable help you receive whenever you need it.

Very spacious place, well equiped kitchen, kind owner who offered to pick me up and bring me back to the ferry terminal, right near the countryside (cows and sugar cane fields), very quiet, free rental bikes for the supermarket (but not for longer distances as Iriomote has lots of mountains).

“The best accomodation on Iriomote Island for the price”
Very affordable accommodation in Iriomote which does not have many options in this price range. Has all the facilities for cooking your own meals, laundry, parking, free to borrow bicycle. Owner is very knowledgeable of the island activities and food options.

“2 nights in female dorm”
Amazing people, very helpful and kind. They pick you up from the terminal and have lots of information about what to do on Iriomote. May even offer you a ride back if you meet them at the supermarket, play music in the car, or sing amazing songs while you're there. You can relax and enjoy the quiet and also the sounds of the island. The building is spacious and has a lot of communal spaces and a big garden. Every corner is comfortable and clean. And the bus stop is not far.
