The hostel is in a great location, right by Eugena Mall. It’s about a 10-minute walk to the harbor, which is very convenient. The dormitory is well air-conditioned, making the stay comfortable. There are laundry facilities available and a nice rooftop terrace to relax on. The hostel was clean, and the staff were very kind and helpful. I would recommend it.

“Great place to stay”
It was a great place to stay in Ishigaki and use as a hub to hop to different Yaeyama islands for day trips. Also, near the bus station, so was convenient. It was close to Family mart, JA Farmers market and other restaurants nearby. The hostel was kept clean, and the rooms are comfortable with A/C. The people we met in the hostel were friendly and nice, we got to chat with everyone in the evenings in the dining area and on the roof.

“Not really comfortable but good location”
The location of the guesthouse is the best part, it's in the middle of the center of the city and very close to the bus station, so you can go everywhere easily. Some other japanese guests made the stay nicer as they were friendly and very willing to discuss with us in the common space. Be aware that this guesthouse hosts mainly japanese guests (we were the only foreigners for our whole stay ; 6 nights), and a lot of older people surprisingly. There is a kitchen and the bathrooms stay clean which is nice.

“Cozy hostel wirh rooftop near the port of Ishigaki.”
* very convenient location: close to bus terminal and Port * spacious rooms with enough space for luggage; lockers in good size. * rooftop that is open 24/7 * discounts on marine activities * using the washing machine is very cheap * If you're looking for some quiet nights: the common area inside/kitchen are free to use until 11pm. Therefore after 11pm there is no noise when you're trying to sleep. You can still meet people on the rooftop though! * friendly staff

“A bit like the great Khao San Road in the nineties”
The owner Nao San is a lovely bloke and speaks perfect English with an Ozzy twang.As soon as I arrived he was warm and welcoming . He’s also an avid scuba tour diver and knows the best spots. It’s a bit rustic ( which I liked ) like Khao San Road in the early days, a great first and last night . He’s also a telephone call away if you are stuck/ need help on the other islands. I feel the real Yaeyama adventures starts here. I would definitely stay again.
