Situated 1.7 km from Painuhama Artificial Beach, 石垣ゲストハウスオハナ in Ishigaki Island features rooms with air conditioning and free WiFi. It is located 500 metres from Yaeyama Museum and provides a shared kitchen. Tamatorizaki Observation Point is 26 km away and Nantominzoku Museum is 500 metres from the guest house. The best hostel I've ever stayed in! The host TRULY cares about his guests, organizes barbecues, keeps everything very clean and offers help at anytime. I stayed in the single bed room and would always do so again!

15 km from Nakijin Gusuku Castle, This is OKINAWA is a recently renovated property located in Motobu and provides air-conditioned rooms with free WiFi and private parking. Featuring a shared kitchen, this property also provides guests with an outdoor fireplace. The guest house offers mountain views, a sun terrace and a 24-hour front desk. An amazing place—with even more amazing people. I’ve been traveling for eight years and stayed in countless guesthouses, but This is OKINAWA is one of the truly special ones. I was here for one month and from the moment I arrived, Taiga and Akane made me feel at home. They are welcoming, kind, and always ready to help. Taiga’s English is limited, but he’s eager to improve and does his best to make every guest feel comfortable. The guesthouse itself is simple yet cozy. The private and dorm rooms are clean, the beds are comfortable, and the bathrooms are spacious, even featuring a small Japanese bathtub. There’s also a separate room with a fridge, microwave, washing machine, and dryer, with plans to add a small kitchen soon. The outdoor sitting area, which I called the living room, is the heart of the place. Some days we worked on DIY projects, other days we had BBQs, chatted with guests, or just relaxed. It can be lively and peaceful in the same day, but it never gets boring. I spent countless hours talking with other guests, which made my stay even more enjoyable. Located in the quiet hills of Mount Yaedake, it’s the perfect place to disconnect and recharge. There’s space for yoga, bonfires, or just relaxing in a hammock under the trees. While the guesthouse is remote, you can bike or walk to local spots, and Nago City is only a 10-minute drive away. If you have a rental car, exploring the island is easy. This isn’t just a guesthouse—it’s a home. Whether you stay for a few days or weeks, you’ll love your time here. I’m grateful to have found this place, and I hope you will be too!

Situated in Miyako Island, 2.3 km from Sunayama Beach, 宮古島 Guesthouse Re-Spect features accommodation with a garden, free private parking, a terrace and a shared lounge. Featuring free bikes, the 2-star guest house has air-conditioned rooms with free WiFi, each with a shared bathroom. The guest house has family rooms. Fantastic host, super helpful, kind and welcoming! Overall extremely comfortable for a hostel, with all the facilities you need in great condition. Having bikes available (regular ones are free) was SUCH a nice bonus, it literally made my trip. I could get around easily (you do need to like biking) including going to the city, or to nearby beaches, or even to much further places.

Set in Ishigaki Island, 1.7 km from Painuhama Artificial Beach, ゲストハウス喜舎場 has a shared lounge, private parking and rooms with free WiFi access. It is located 500 metres from Yaeyama Museum and provides a housekeeping service. The accommodation offers a shared kitchen and luggage storage space for guests. The location is great, 10 minute walk to the ferry terminal, which I used quite often as I used Ishigaki mainly as a hub between the other islands. There are also lots of eating and drinking spots in walking distance, plus some convenience stores and a supermarket. Kishaba the owner was very kind and helpfull and even took me on a mango picking tour (only during mango season). The room was great and during the time of day when you’re usually at the hostel the aircon is free so it’s quite the relief from the heat when you get back. The shower facilities were nice and clean and the washing machine and dryer were quick and efficient. Overall I had a great stay and if I come back to Ishigaki I will definitely stay here again.
