Friendly, hostel-type vibes but quiet, clean and spacious - at least in my private 2-double-bed room. You can hear the crickets at night which is quite soothing. A great beach guesthouse! Gon, the owner, greeted me personally, helped me to park my car and sat down with me to show me a map of the local area and give recommendations. He even made some suggestions for what to do on Iriomote Island when I went there after Ishigaki. Laundry facilities with drying space on site. A few restaurants and bars nearby - walkable.

The staff was particularly kind, smiling and helpful. They helped us on more than one occasion and were fundamental to the success of our stay in Ishigaki. The position of the hotel is fantastic if you need to catch a ferry to the other islands and it's also near lots of places to eat. We made good use of the laundry, cheap and easy to use. The room was clean, well furnitured and very quiet (if you keep the windows closed). Good air conditioning. Good breakfast, we particularly appreciated yogurt with cereals.

From arrival, Kishaba-san went out of his way to invite me to the local Kyuubon celebrations over the next few nights, and while there he introduced me to his family and a couple others. When I left to Naha and stayed at another hostel, I felt surprised by how much more comfortable and welcome I felt staying at Kishaba. Amenities are suitable, location is great, facilities are wonderful. The bed is comfortable, spacious, and private. Above all though, staying here made my trip to Ishigaki that much more memorable.

Very nice family hotel, with good breakfast, amazing splash park, OK beach and good paid restaurants. Villas are set in a beautiful, well maintained garden, the service is japanese standard (veeeery good!), oh, and we loved the onsen! There's a free bus going to and from the airport (didn't know that, paid for the taxi there, it's not enough advertised!), there's also a bus stop in front of the hotel taking you to ishigaki town and Kabira bay (not very frequent, but punctual and cheap).

Jusandi is very well located in the north of Ishigaki island, which is very close to all natural hotspots (e.g. scuba diving, snorkelling, hiking, etc.). The villas are very secluded so guests can enjoy real privacy in an idyllic decor. The staff is extremely attentive and will happily help you find a place to go eat/drink outside the hotel if you desire or even give you local spots to visit. We loved our time at Jusandi on our honeymoon and were sad to leave.

Good service all round from free shuttle service from airport to quick check in. Staff very friendly and helpful. Rooms are large and well appointed. Balcony with ocean view Breakfast is a good buffet with asian & western options. Location is good - short walk towards Ishigaki town with a few bars and restaurants along the road. The hotel has a few restaurants and shop where you can buy drinks & snacks. Good for families - lots for children to do.

The villa was ideal for us to spend a few quiet days away from the crowds on a remote island off Japan. Chris the host was great, drove us to get supplies, to the airport and was really knowledgeable about Ishigaki and responsive. The villa sits with 180 uninterrupted views of the ocean which is right in front of the property if you want to swim, canoe or snorkel. Our choice was to read, sleep, cook and enjoy the last of our holiday before heading home.

The hotel room was very clean and I liked the overall atmosphere! There was even a washer and dryer in the room. The coffee and drinks available in the lobby were also very good. The location was very convenient as it is a 20-minute walk or short drive to the ferry terminal/downtown area. However, the very best part was the owner and staff, who were incredibly generous and kind. We hope to visit here again next time we visit Ishigaki.

The staff was friendly and welcoming and speak very good English. The room was clean and comparatively large and the bed was comfortable. Breakfast was excellent and for even more variety you have the option to choose between breakfast in this hotel and the sister hotel called The Breakfast Hotel Marche. The hotel is in walking distance to Ishigaki's main shopping district and the port (good for hopping to one of the other islands).

Josh, a serial hotel management expert, and his staff are extremely helpful in giving us tips to get around the island. Even for visitors like us who came to Ishigaki several times in the past, those tips were helpful. The location can’t be better. Beach is just in front of the hotel. Access to the nearby mangrove river is easy by kayak or SUP. You must try their Rigatoni and Sunday galette. Best on the island.

Very good value for the money. The location was great if you don't have a car. It was close to the bus and ferry terminal and short walk to the more happening area of the town. The staff was very friendly. Free use of the laundry machines was a great bonus. The hotel is old and simple, but cozy and clean. We will most likely chose Patina again if we'll ever go back to the wonderful Ishigaki.

I loved the style of the building, with its strong sense of traditional Japanese materials (wood, tatami, shoji) and quiet atmosphere. I was reminded of Tanizaki's essay "In Praise of Shadows". My room was airy and light, and so quiet and calm. Miyako-san was extremely helpful and kind regarding suggestions for places to visit in Ishigaki, and ensuring I was comfortable during my stay.

I had an amazing stay at Guest House Ishigaki. Haruko and Andy are wonderful hosts, who have created a truly magical place. The guest house is beautifully designed and very comfortable. The kitchen has everything you could ask for and more. This was easily the best place I stayed at in my three months of travelling around Japan. If you are going to Ishigaki, then do yourself a favour and stay there!

Smooth check-in… Flying in from Osaka on the afternoon flight landing at 4.40pm, I wasn’t sure that I could make it before the close of check-in time of 6.30pm to obtain the key, the hotel quickly responded and assured me that in the event of delays to simply notify them. Apartment was very spacious and clean, I highly recommend this hotel for anyone visiting Ishigaki.

Hotel is located at the west side of Ishigaki island, near the mountain and a beach. Friendly staff that helped to make our stay a pleasant one. Room was spacious and clean. I like the quietness and the fresh air around this area. Hotel is just behind a beach and I can imagine how much fun it is in the summer. The cafe also selling delicious food too.

ANA Intercontinental Ishigaki Resort was an absolute dream stay! Being slow starters and not one to be out and about consistently when on vacation, it was great having so many facilities and eating options even within the hotel. The breakfasts were exceptional - had me excited for the next morning every night and staff really did cater to every need.

We had an amazing stay in Ishigaki and loved this apartment so much. The views were incredible and we saw so much nature whilst we were here. Nicolas and Etsuko were also fantastic hosts and gave us some great recommendations for activities and restaurants. Our only regret is that we didn’t stay longer. We would love to come back here some day 😊

Despite being an unmanned hotel, the check-in procedure was very simple. Parking was a little confusing, but we worked it out eventually. Clean, spacious, and with all the required amenities. Good value for money. It's slightly far out from the main street of ishigaki, but there are plenty of taxis to choose on the street outside.

This little apartment was perfect for our stay in Ishigaki. We loved being able to cook for ourselves, and there are a few supermarkets within about 20 minutes’ walk. The amenities were great—TV, washing machine and dryer, air conditioning, refrigerator, and kettle :)

Although the pool was out the back like it was in someone’s back yard, not a hotel pool, it did the job. Great location. Although in Ishigaki i recommend hiring a car. Parking was great. Easy and free.
