“Unforgettable”

Everything was incredible. We loved the simplicity of Joya, the delicious breakfasts and the generosity of the staff. Thank you for making our time in Ishigaki unforgettable

The staff were very friendly and accommodating. Breakfast was lovely.

A lovely place with comfortable tatami. Relaxing and ever heard the owl at night.

Jouya is a fantastic place and were hosted as friends, we are looking forward our next trip there.

“Loveliest stay I could not ask a better stay.”

I had a fantastic stay at this hotel and couldn’t recommend it more highly. From the moment I arrived, the staff were warm, welcoming, and genuinely attentive, making me feel comfortable straight away. The room was spotless, spacious, and very well equipped, with a comfortable bed and thoughtful details that made the stay even more enjoyable. Everything was quiet and relaxing, perfect for a great night’s sleep. The highlight was definitely the breakfast – absolutely amazing. There was a wide variety of fresh, high-quality food produce, catering to all tastes. Everything was beautifully presented and delicious, easily one of the best hotel breakfasts I’ve had. The hotel itself is well located and well maintained, with a calm and pleasant atmosphere throughout. Service was consistently excellent, and nothing ever felt like too much trouble. I would happily stay here again and would highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for comfort, quality, and an exceptional breakfast experience.

Perfectly situated between beaches, nature and with more than enough restaurants in the vicinity we thought this was the perfect place for our stay at Ishigaki.

staff is wonderful, the best spot to stay. there is also a very good restaurant inside!

“perfect to stay”

Everything was clean and perfect for relax. It is a traditional Japanese house, so we really enjoyed the experience.

“Wonderful time at Joya”

We loved staying here as the atmosphere is very relaxing, cozy and chilled, it is just few minutes walk to Kabira bay and aprox 10min cycling to the big beach of Sukuji, roads are very quiet and surrounded by nature. Many different restaurants less than 5 min walk, even though Joyas restaurant is one of the best with lovely traditional tables and music. The Japanese futon beds were also very comfortable and they actually got rid of our back aches! but the best of our stay were the people, they made us feel at home. We got some rainy days and it didn't bother us as we were so comfortable.

“Wonderful place to stay at Kabira. Walking distance to the beach and dive shops.”

Nice and cosy place to stay at Kabira. Room was super clean. Host was very kind to offer me 2 onigiris on my first night there as i woke up late into the night and most of the restaurants around are already closed.

The hosts are beyond kindness. They welcomed us and we felt instantly at home. We stayed in the tatami room and it was very comfortable and we all splept very well. The room itself is spacious enough to store our 3 luggages. We also had a very lovely dinner at their restaurant. We would definitely come again, when we stay in ishigaki.

“A great stay”

This hotel is in a very convenient location. I was able to enjoy Kabira Bay again and again because it was so close. Also, there is a bus stop right across the street. On top of that, the owner is very kind and friendly. I had a great stay.

The host is a lovely person :) The room was clean, and the breakfast really good (I liked the variety of it - each day sth different!). Location is also very good, just 3 minute walk to the beautiful Kabira Bay.

“Friendly staff, clean and comfortable room in a peaceful location”

Breakfast and dinner were delicious.

“Convenient location and set up in Kabira Bay village”

Pros: Excellent location, close to Kabira Bay, restaurants, village animations Clean & comfortable beds Breakfast option (served at 7am or 8am) and dinner option (from 6pm onwards) Parking Very friendly staff

It is a wonderful house with a warm and friendly flair, perfectly located close to the beach and restaurants and even a bus stop. The host was extremely nice, caring and helpful. She even adapted the breakfast (which changed every day!) for my vegetarian wife. Highly recommend.

“Charming little hotel run by lovely people.”

A really sweet little hotel run by a hard-working and charming couple. Central Kabira a stone’s throw away from the bus stop and the glass boat. We were recommended Mantaholic to go snorkelling and they were great too. Being able to dry our washing outside was a great plus.

The property was close to many beautiful beaches and attractions. The host was really friendly and accommodating to our requests. We stayed in a traditional Japanese room that came with Japanese breakfast which was really good! The overall experience was fantastic and we highly recommend this place 😊

The owners are extremely nice and welcoming, the breakfast is good and fills you up for the day. Room is nice and has traditional tatami.

We had a fantastic time staying at Joya. Excellent location up by Kabira beach, easy to walk to Kabira bay as well as to several restaurants in the area. We rented a car due to the infrequent bus schedule, easy parking at Joya. Breakfast was different each day and all delicious! We particularly enjoyed the home-made purple sweet potato jam! We also liked the ability to do laundry, the availability of snorkel gear for rent, and the ability to buy some snacks/water/umbrella on site.
