Yaeyama Islands Hotels

I'm on a one-night stay at the Vessel Hotel Ishigaki. This is my first stay at a Vessel Hotel, but I've seen the brand here in Japan before. The hotel is near the port in Ishigaki.

This was my first hotel of my trip and I had an incredible time there. The staff are very friendly, the rooms are spacious and the bed was very comfortable.

This property offers one of the best atmospheres in Ishigaki, featuring a chic, modern aesthetic with a bright and airy interior.

My partner and I stayed here and had a truly fulfilling time. The room amenities, including the washing machine and kitchen, were exceptionally well-equipped, supporting a comfortable stay.

Very friendly and helpful staff! The rooms were quite spacious, very clean and bright and lots of freebies at the lobby. The breakfast was a nice mixture of Asian and some croissants and jam.

Was not expecting to leave a review after staying for just one night, but the short stay left me very impressed indeed.

This is a brand-new, exceptionally clean, and tidy hotel. I stayed there 4 nights. While the breakfast is simple, the quality is excellent, and the food is constantly replenished.

Very affordable hotel with friendly staff. We loved our stay here. The rooms have everything you need, and the staff were always so helpful.

I've found paradise. All rooms have a view of the bay. Wonderful hosts, authentic food, and the aquarium right in front of the guesthouse. A wonderful place.

The Japanese style room is beautiful. Has tatamis on the floor, a magnificent sea view and a private bathroom with toilet, shower and bath tub.

We had an amazing stay and diving trip here. The sea & starry view from outdoor seats were especially enjoyable. Thank you Takashi and your family’s hospitality!

Very kind people, very nice food and diving experiences!

This place is great! Exactly what I was hoping for. A very serene location tucked away in the middle of pineapple fields 🍍 😋 you can feel right in tune with nature just sitting outside and listening.

Favorite location among Okinawa! The location is 15min walk from the Uehara port, 5min walk from the bus stop (there's not a lot of bus/day so take care).

The staff is supper nice and friendly. Taking good care of guests. The food is not fancy, but taste amazing. Easily some of the best breakfast and dinner provided from a hotel in Japan.

What a pleasant group of people running this small gem!
They are friendly and proactive. They offer what you want before you ask for it.
The establishment was clean and the food was amazing.

We stayed there in mid — January. Rooms are clean and spacious. “There were different birds and animals. All staff were helpful and polite. We had a BBQ there too which was a great experience.

Where do I begin with this amazing hotel? Absolutely loved our time here. The rooms are HUGE, same with the shower, which made it so comfortable. The water gets very hot and has strong water pressure.

Josh is an incredible host and really made my stay at Sunset Cove special.

I can’t recommend this place enough. From the moment you arrive, Josh shares a nifty list of nearby recommended spots so you can make the best of your stay.

We stayed for 6 nights and had such a great time. Loved the friendly staff and their attention to detail. Great to have a kitchen. Our accomodation was so well cared for and clean.

I stayed in amazing villas in Ishigaki that felt practically brand new, fully equipped, incredibly clean, and very spacious.

It’s a vibe! Be prepared to slow down and let your body relax. In the morning, the turtles greet you at the beach – a magical moment that feels like a secret shared just with you.

Such a beautiful hotel, you can see the stars, the 123456789 Meridian and bats from the rooftop. The beach in front of the house is beautiful and empty, nobody is bothering you. So relaxing!

A little corner of tropical heaven. This place really hammers home the truth of location, location, location. It's situated perfectly looking out over the bay and you really feel close to nature.

I stayed there for 2 nights and 3 days during my summer vacation. It is easily accessible from Uehara Port and you can participate in various activities. You can see the beautiful sea from your room.

This is the best villa.
We stayed with six friends and it was more than spacious enough for us to relax.
The interior decor was stylish and the starry sky seen from the large balcony was unreal.

The ultimate private villa!
The room is meticulously appointed, and the bedroom is comfortable.

We are only on day 2 of our 5 day stay and already never want to leave. This place is a unique paradise.

This is a spacious apartment, which is hard to find in Japan. The balcony is also large, making it convenient for drying laundry.

The view, size, and location are wonderful, with the convenience of being close to the city, supermarkets, pier, cafes, and airport. Having a laundrette downstairs is also very useful.

Amazing hidden gem. Garden, pool, view, private beach. Spacious and well planned. You will need a car though.

Great location, very kind owner, clean facility with attention to details. We had a fantastic stay. I would definitely recommend this guest house to anyone going to Ishigaki.

We stayed in this place for 3 nights and could easily spend another week there.

Pros: small and very cosy rooms, the amenities (towel, toothbrush, hairdryer) are really good, the staff is super nice, the place is quiet, easy check in.
Cons: it could do with a little revamp or

I am so happy to have stayed in Lulaliya and met Hiroki & staff. They were very friendly and informative about the surroundings and the activities available.

We stayed for three nights at room 303.
The view from balcony was fantastic.
The sun rise, the sea breeze, we can’t ask for more. We have all the things we need in the room.

We stayed 6 nights.
It's located just behind the mangrove forest, which was fantastic, and Toru-san is super relaxed and kind.

Loved our stay at Guest House Suntoru. Very reasonably priced, which included breakfast every morning. The owner is so friendly and helpful and speaks great English.

Quiet — clean — as I expected — we slept with window open and could hear the ocean — close to the beach — the owners were friendly and helpfull.

Warm friendly host with super clean rooms and beautifuly decorated house. Felt like being in a hotel with hostel prices. Super close to the beach.

On a small island like Taketomi it's better to manage the expectations. In the morning the hostel rooms are warmer than the hallway but they are cool enough in the evenings.

Very clean hostel with great staff. Socialising time with the other guests and the staff at night and stargazing on the beach was an unforgettable experience.

I had the most comfortable sleep in a very long time in this guesthouse run by a lovely family. Highly recommend, it was a very peaceful stay.

Megami and her family were extremely hospitable and helpful. The Japanese-style room was very comfortable, with a cosy mattress.

Luxurious guesthouse!
I had with the years visited a LOTS of guesthouse in Japan /Okinawa.
Here every furniture is supperior top quality and impeccable clean.

This is the one and only guesthouse in Kohama, which actually has a very comfortable bed and friendly staffs.

The hostel is perfectly designed for solo travelers. It is extroverted, the rooms are close to one another, and it is often noisy… but that is what makes it enjoyable.

Ishigaki Guesthouse Hive is really amazing! The people are extremely friendly. And contrary to other peoples reviews: it is not difficult to find. There are signs to lead the way. It was very easy.
