Friendly owner, delicious locally grown food, located in a nice and quiet Shiraho village near the Ishigaki airport. The owner introduced me to the village's Sunday market. I had a wonderful stay.

We had a wonderful time at Minshuku Irayoi. Sachi and her husband are very kind and generous people and they treated us very well. They gave us many informations and helped us with our requests. The room was clean and comfortable. I really recommend this place!

“A wonderful stay”
Staying at Minshuku Irayoi was a wonderful experience. The property is clean, charming, and a short walk from the bus stop and Shiraho beach, full of marine life. Free shower and laundry soap, washing machine and tumble dryer are also available, which is convenient. Outstanding meals prepared by one of the minshuku owners, who is also a local artist. Do make time for a chat with her and her husband, who are happy to provide tips and recommendations for things to do in the area, and who facilitate conversation with other guests if staying for meals. Chances are you will spend a lovely evening getting to know fellow travellers around drinks and music. Stay at Irayoi if you're interested in learning about real Ishigaki life and culture!

“Amazing food at good local accommodation”
Absolutely delicious food for dinner and for breakfast - beautifully presented, local cuisine with fresh ingredients from the garden. Lots of care and attention given to the meals. Some of the best food we had during our stay in Japan. Nice warm welcome and a friendly feel to the place. Clean loos and shower rooms with good shampoo and conditioner. Useful to be able to use the washing machine.

“I couldn’t type in Japanese, but Arigato gozaimashita!”
From room to the meals, everything was perfect! And the best part was the owner letting us walk their dogs! Loved the conversation with the owners and got to know all the local information!

“If you want to experience Ishigaki from a local perspective, this is a great place to stay away fr”
Very friendly owners and great food. If you want to experience Ishigaki from a local perspective away from the tourist hub, this is a great place.
