The Host is very kind nice person and best guide for local area where is not on guidebook. Better to ask local activity, secret beach, best place for coffee and so on. And you can enjoy homemade dinner box if you request in advance as same as a simple breakfast. I enjoyed host's breakfast together with my additional local foods. Btw 2 small local stores in 5 mins walk but close early. At morning, you can wake up with birds singing and having a coffee at large terrace at second floor. At evening, you can enjoy beer with sunset at terrace. At night, further beer with clear starview. Even some weakpoints on thin wall and noise from walkway at second floor, worth staying and enjoying countryside silence with hospitality.

As explained, building is a bit old and you need an extra attention on walking second floor and talking at night.

Izumi was a great host and the breakfast she made was delicious! It was close to Bora beach, which was great. And with the bike I could rent for free (electric, at some point, even!) it was wonderful to visit the amazingly beautiful green areas around, all the way to Cape Higashi-Hennazaki, as well the other beaches, like Yoshino Kaigan Beach. I was traveling around the island with the local bus (no 1), which runs like 5-6 times a day, so, not very often, which is why it was nice I could use the room, shower, snorkeling kit and bike after the time of check out, for an extra fee, until later in the afternoon, when the bus was scheduled.

it's an old house, so the floor is squeaky

The host was very friendly and really made me feel at home. She always had a simple, yet delicious breakfast prepared each morning. It was a very warm and welcoming stay, and I would definitely stay here again if I came back to Miyakojima.

The location was a bit far from town, so a car is definitely necessary, although a car is best to explore the island anyways

The host is super friendly and open. You can sit on the balcony and enjoy the sunset. Very calm, rural atmosphere away from the resort hotels and beach selfie instagrammers. But a small and very beautiful beach is within walking distance, and another where you can snorkel and see sea turtles is a few kilometers away.

A neat, clean and enthusiastic host. You can ride a bike to the lighthouse and the coast. It's also friendly for people who don't have a car. Japanese houses are not soundproof, so it may not be suitable for you to live here if you are sensitive to sound. It makes me feel at home. I will come back next time.❤️

I'm really happy, I could enjoy the authentic side of Miyakojima and its people. Izumi-San is a very friendly and kind guest and helped me with whatever I needed. Everything was perfect! どうもありがとう!

I have no complain at all

The host was very friendly and we felt welcomed. She let us to check in early due to our schedule. Explained all about the house and interesting places located nearby. And the price was reasonable.

Sometimes it was difficult to take a shower or brush teeth, due to the people staying there all sharing the shower. However it was during high season so it’s expected.

Very nice place on the country side. Fantastic unspoiled beach close to the guesthouse Cozy atmosphere, nice to speak with other travellers. Owner of the guesthouse very helpfull

Kind owner lady try to help you. Japanese granny style atmosphere, comfy and spacious room with green view, clean and tidy, free washing machine

Not very soundproof with other rooms but was ok still
