“100% recommend, best place ever!”

Everything. Happy Island Miyako is THE BEST PLACE EVER. Despite how beautiful and cute is it, colourful and magical, this guest house is the best one I’ve even been so far. Max, thank you so much, you have a great place. It is cozy, clean and practical. The rooms have everything you need, there are plenty of common amenities in both kitchen and bathroom. We were unlucky to enjoy surfing or any other beach activity, but we had the best night with Max, Happy and two lovely guests. I would always recommend this place and, for sure, I will come back. Happy, you are the sweetest boy, the super host!! He woke us up so we could start enjoying this beautiful island, he is the best 😸😸

I had a wonderful holiday in Happy Island Miyako. Max is really nice. I enjoy every moment in Miyako.

“Thanks to Happy island Miyako and Max, the experience was above my expectations”

Friendly, relaxing, expressing the mood of the island!! I loved it!

Max was really nice and really helpfull. There is a full equiped kitchen available and the room was confortable. Wifi ok and the place is closed to really amazing beaches by car.

“Good Hostel, Good Value for Money”

Happy Island is a stand-alone hostel near the fringe of the town centre. The owner Max is very knowledgeable about the activities available. It is very relaxing staying in this hostel.

“Great stay! Highly recommend ❤️❤️”

I really enjoyed my stay at Happy Miyako Island ❤️❤️ Max is the nicest guy. There are supermarkets close by and if you rent a car you can visit some of the most amazing beaches ever 😎☀️☀️🌴 I also met the coolest travelers here. It's a very social hostel. I loved it!

“disappointing”

location

I had an awesome stay at Happy island miyako! Max was a great host and Happy (the cat) was great company. The location is well situated to walk to the parts of the island to have drinks and meals.

Is like to be in a family, Max is so nice and the accomodation is simply perfect. The position is also good. This island is a heaven and this accomodation was one of my best stay in all Japan. Everything just perfect. Thank you Max, thank you happy island, I left my heart there. ❤️

“Happiest place”

I miss happy island! Max is the coolest dude (ikemen!) and made me feel really at home despite some language barrier. The house is gorgeous and so beautifully decorated, it’s a lovely lovely hostel with guesthouse vibe. I especially loved the colourful bathroom! Kitchen is very welcoming to cook in, and there is lots of snorkel equipment to rent. Had a beautiful time :)

“They made our first memorable Miyako trip.”

We stayed 4 nights at the twin room,(I felt more specious than the web photo), The location was great central area, near local bus stops, lots restaurants, and buying food at the shopping store.You can cook with provided seasoning,too. Best thing is that we are so delighted with accepting the optional snorkeling activity request as the original other company's snorkel was canceled due to the weather. We had a great synorkeling at the Sigira by the licenced owner Max lead us in safe and we are given our videos as well ! In addition we had special night event as the gust who plays Okinawa traditional guitar callled Sansen so Max joined to play it and all guest were enjoyed to the sing, dance and playing the drums together. He was super helpful for our questions about recomended restaurant, what to do and advice for the next trip so on. Max is very frindly host. He always stand by for your new exporing. Although it has just changed to wet and cold week we have back to the home satisfactionaly and now I realised its called HAPPY island. Haha,, Thank you so much your hosting Max, the sweet staff and black cat. I wish I would like to relax at the hanmock next time.

“Happy host, Happy food, Happy time, HAPPY Guests”

“Best Hostel in my life”

Best Hostel of my life. Amazing Host

“The ideal Guest House”

Staying at Happy Island Miyako was a beautiful and awesome experience. Max, the host, is a super cool guy that works hard so that everyone has a great time. Also one night I came back late and he texted me to check if everything was ok, a nice gesture. I stayed 3 nights and got to share dinner with him and other guests on 2 of those nights. And one was a Takoyaki grill party! We all participated in doing them, it was a lot of fun. I've got to say that I've been to many guest houses along my Japan trip and this was the best one by far. Max also organices different sea-related tours and has snorkeling equipment for rental. All in all a wonderful experience and I recommend staying there if you've got the chance. The terrace is also very nice! Location is great, quiet but just a few minutes by foot to different restaurants and convenience stores.  Thank you Max once again for the happy memories, will definitely stay here whenever I come back.

“Beachy vibes, lovely terrace, the perfect place to make new friends <3”

This guesthouse is absolutely incredible! Its beautifully decorated, bright, colourful and beachy with comfy beds, clean facilities and a well equipped kitchen. Our room was spacious and comfy and we just absolutely loved it here! the terrace area is a truly lovely addition! Max (and Happy) are utterly wonderful, kind hosts and we feel very grateful to have met them. Max creates a lovely social atmosphere where you can easily meet new friends - we loved it here I recommend it so highly!

“Amazing Holiday in Miyako”

Thanks to Max and all the people there (and Happy 🐈‍⬛) for the great time, the amazing food and for taking pictures of us and the turtles 🐢😝 Definitely one pf the best places to be in japan for people traveling with friends or alone.

“Incredible island, incredible hosts 🙂‍↕️”

This place is special. Special people, a special atmosphere, and special memories that I will keep with me forever. When you stay at happy island you feel like you are with your family, everybody is so eager to help and share with you, and there is a sense of community and friendship in every corner of the hostel. The owner, Max (and his incredible cat companion) is extremely helpful and knowledgeable when it comes to exploring the island, and the staff are so keen to support and assist you on your vacation. If you come to this hostel with an open and adventurous mindset, you will meet wonderful people, and do wonderful things! There is no limit to how much fun you can have at this place!
