Featuring quiet street views, Travelers House おーさんてぃん青空舎 features accommodation with terrace, around 1.2 km from Naarasa Beach. It is located 1.2 km from Kondoi Beach and offers luggage storage space. The guest house provides rooms with air conditioning, free private parking and free WiFi.

The property is located on a quiet (even for Taketomi) corner of the island in the middle of a beautiful garden. The room was cozy and clean. The decorations and details made it feel like “it was from a picture book” to quote my wife. The owner is a very nice lady that helped us feel very welcome on the island and we enjoyed the homemade breakfast in the garden the next morning.

Sapunaya-さぷな家 is located in Taketomi Island, a 20-minute ferry and car ride from Ishigaki Island. The property offers free WiFi.

The units come with a toaster, fridge, a coffee machine, a bath, free toiletries and a desk. The rooms have a private bathroom with a hair dryer, while certain rooms will provide you with a terrace.

At Sapunaya, we were delighted by several standout features. First and foremost, the hotel's location was truly exceptional, making it easy to explore and enjoy the surrounding area. The hotel exudes charm and character, which added to the overall appeal. It felt like staying in a place with a unique personality. One of our favorite aspects was the private garden, providing a serene and secluded space to unwind and enjoy some quiet moments. The spacious suite we stayed in was a welcome surprise, offering plenty of room to relax and spread out during our stay.

Taketomijima Guesthouse and je Taime features affordable dormitory-style accommodations with Asian decors. Guests can enjoy the island with rental bicycles. Taketomi Port is a 15-minute walk away.

Guesthouse Taketomijima je Taime is a 20-minute walk from Kondoi Beach and the Star Sand Beach. Ishigaki Island is a 10-minute ferry ride away.

Great guesthouse - extremely clean, comfortable beds, excellent location on the island, and the staff (just one wonderful, joyous, very hardworking girl, Ayumi) is superb: free drinks every night for the whole hostel to socialize, and then she leads everyone on a safari around the island to see the wildlife: giant coconut crabs, fireflies, even owls and snakes (at a distance for that last one!) - many people make the mistake of staying just one night before going back to Ishigaki, but I stayed for 4 nights and couldn’t be happier - strongly recommend!

    The most beautiful quaint little house on the island. It’s charm is not only in its traditional feel, but the care and deliberation the owner dedicates to it. Every corner of the house has its own unique flair. From a welcoming foot bath with flowers, to one of the most incredible breakfasts I have had (made with ingredients from the host’s own garden) , the stay in Travelers House is one of the highlights of my trip in Yaeyama islands. You can see the love and care the host devotes to this service, and that is priceless.

    I really enjoyed my stay with Travelers House. Hosts are kind and provide quality breakfast and welcoming drinks. Even got a foot bath with beautiful flowers. The room is charming and one can hear great jazz or classical music during breakfast time. Like staying in a liitle museum with plants, collector stamps and book on Hygge.

    The Guesthouse quality and design, the friendliness of the owner (who always gave great recommendations) and staff, the quietness of the island after the last ferry.

    Atmospheric place with a great host. He took us star gazing to the beach and organized a little get-together. Hostel has beer and soft drinks for sale at a reasonable price. Dorm was comfy enough

    Taketomi Jima is a magical place and Travellers House makes it all the more special! Our hosts were very accommodating and provided a futon for our teen daughter. The breakfasts were wonderful! Our wonderful hosts were also able to provide us with 3 bicycles at half the price of rental from the town centre. They are lovely people. Highly recommend staying here!

    Great to rent the bicycle from the guest house, though I think a little expensive, but it was a fantastic way to get around the island and it’s good to support this island! Very countryside one the centre

    Large traditional room, with a good bathroom and space for a desk. Separate entrance from the owner’s property. Breakfast was absolutely delicious and the owners very kind. The location was perfect for exploring the island, a bike is available to rent from the owner very cheaply.
