Miyakojima hotels

Pros: Friendly and cozy guesthouse. Clean rooms, excellent amenities and extra offers. I love making myself a cup of coffee and sitting inside the living room or at the balcony to see and to feel the island of Irabu.

Cons: None.

Pros: Second time coming to this hostel, and will definitely come back. Yoshi-San is an amazing host. He does everything to make you comfortable, and at home. Comfortable beds, fully equiped with everything that you need and more!! You have a nice terrace to enjoy sunsets and sunrises. The common room is great for making new friends!! Thank you for everything again Yoshi-San !

Pros: Great guesthouse! The owner is very kind, helpfull and friendly. Beautiful property on a beatiful island. Would recommend to anyone, but note that car is needed to fully enjoy all the islands around.

Cons: That i didnt stay longer.

Cons: The owner is a strange guy with undisclosed rules that apply to different types of guests. I left my small carry on suitcase in the corner of a room where it was not infringing anyone and was yelled at by the owner when I returned to collect it and demanded I pay him 500 yen after I had a cup of tea. It's a real shame because the house is very beautiful and thoughtful, but the owner I felt was not friendly to foreigners.

Pros: A unique experience due to the owner's (Yoshisan) genuine and sincere hospitality (where else would you be greeted by a traditional song and be spontaneously invited to a culinary feast with nice, courteous other Asian guests?). The clean and sparkling house is beautifully conceived and designed, a clever blend of modern design and traditional features with an amazing esthetic taste and color schemes. Even if the rooms are small you can use the whole comfortable house and kitchen with a balcony overlooking the port. All around a quite village lost in time. We were very sad to leave, knowing this was a very special place and moment the memory of which we will cherish forever. Dear Yoshisan, thank you for this precious gift!

Pros: Yoshi is a very nice person with a very good heart. For exemple he will surely welcome you with a traditional song played with a local instrument he masters very well. He reacts very fast to any question or demand. The place is very well equipped, there is everything you could need to cook. Besides it is decorated with taste. There is lockers on every door and Yoshi offers to rent bicycles if needed.

Cons: Not very suitable for couple who wants a quiet and peaceful place (mainly due to wooden wall) even if the little town and the island where the guesthouse is located are very calm and quiet. It will be a perfect place for backpackers who would like to discover Irabu. Renting a car to enjoy the stay seems to be necessary because the place is quite far from the airport (30min by car) and every places of interests seems far to reach by walk or bicycle

Pros: Yoshi-san was amazing! He helped me with anything I needed. He was always available and introduced me to many Japanese and Okinawan cuisine and culture. He sings great too!! Highly recommended!! I hope to come back soon!

Cons: Nothing!

Pros: We liked the friendly, laid-back atmosphere, the well-equipped kitchen and the pretty garden. A very pleasant place!

Cons: No complains!

Pros: Traditional Japanese rooms with the possibility to leave the door open to fall asleep to the sounds of nature. The Staff is super friendly and very helpful. Bycicle rental is for free.

Cons: Some insects around the house, so maybe not recommended for hypersensitive people.

Pros: Very comfortable and kindly, like sweet home.you can cook easy here, and enjoy to meet other friends.

Cons: Can't stay more days....

Pros: This pension is a very comfortable corner in between the sugar canes. We really enjoyed cleanliness, the spacious and beautiful garden, the common areas and the maps showing the best spots. Moreover we enjoyed the homy feeling the owner and his son give to this place and the courious company of the other guests. We had a wonderful time and we'd like to stay there again one time.

Pros: The owners are really nice and made us feel at home immediately. They can also help with information about the island, where best to go snorkeling in the current weather conditions etc (at least if you speak some Japanese). Everything is spotless clean and well-equipped. The kitchen/living room is a nice place to meet other guests, watch TV, find information about the island, ... The location is in the middle of sugar cane fields, so very quiet and perfect for relaxing - a car is recommended anyway on the island. The garden is beautiful.

Cons: There is nothing not to like. The only remark is that the futon is a bit thin if you are used to European beds - but I think if you ask, you could get an extra one.

Pros: Location is unique...it was so peaceful and quiet. Staff really nice and helpful. Classic japanese tatami bedroom. I just loved it. Beware...the place is isolated, either rent a car or be prepared for some serious biking, like 10 kms to the nearest best spot for snorkelling, of paved but hill road (staff provided me with a fixed gear bike, with front basket and all, so it was kinda hard on the way up). There`s a lonely beach just minutes away though. 15 mins of cycling to the nearest family mart. No other business near. At night there are not street lights and it gets daaaark (bike had a front light but it was not near enough. Be prepared, I wasn't and used my smartphone light). I covered the whole island, and I was exhausted but happy. You seldom see people on this side of the island, and an ocasional vehicle every now and then. But I put these under "likes", because that was what I was looking for. As I said, if you're not one for adventure, just rent a car. It's cheap for japanese standars. Taxi from the airport was also cheap, 1600 yens, 15 min ride. On the way back, the staff called a taxi for me. Staff speaks almost no english, but they were so nice.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: 5 Stars plus for Pension Ntsunaka! You have to stay here, if you visit Miyakojima! Completely peaceful, surrounded by sugarcanes with a magic garden, created with much compassion. The rooms and the guesthouse is maximum clean, You have all facilities you need, everything is best equipped and modern! The host is very caring neither with food advice and with whatever you need ! He is helping with all his hands! Although the rooms are not big, you have a feeling of vast space because there is a huge shared kitchen and Living room and the big garden where you can do barbecue ... we stayed there for 2 weeks and didn’t wanna leave...

Cons: Nothing!

Pros: The location was closer to some snorkeling beach but far away from city center. It is a new pension house and everything was really clean and tidy.

Cons: Noise and chats from guest next door could be heard easily.

Pros: The boss is so nice and passion. You can feel the harmony of nature. The home made breakfast is very good, you will enjoy different menu if stay more than one night. Excellent sea view in balcony, it is also a excellent place to watch the stars at night.

Cons: If you afraid of gecko, I suggest you to choose other hotel.

Pros: The location, the hotel staff, the kitchen chef were beyond nice and professional - one of the best hotel experiences I've ever had.

Cons: Hotel staff doesn't speak English or any other language. Use the Google translator app in your phone and you will get along just fine :)

Pros: - very spacious rooms - great views - right next to beautiful beach, beach is west coast so perfect for the sunset - resort has multiple restaurants, couple shops, tennis courts etc. - lots of parking space

Pros: Very good food at the hotel!!

Cons: The hotel is trying to charge me extra fees three weeks after checking out and paying in full. The beach was off limits after 6pm and beach access limited at all times. This information is written in their Japanese site but not on the English version. No explanation was given at the hotel verbally or in writing. In addition, at check in, the clerk promised to contact me later about the breakfast tickets. There was no contact from staff at all. I stayed at this hotel two years before with my Japanese wife and had an excellent experience. This time, with my kids but without my wife, the experience couldn't have been more different.

Pros: Property located in an excellent beach, staff are friendly and bilingual

Cons: Mm perhaps the price, but considering the location of the resort, is not too bad ...

Pros: Cleanliness

Cons: Very small toilet and only one shower room

Pros: Loved everything! It is close to paradisiac beaches, has good food at the entrance of the island and a spectacular bridge view, the very kind owner helped us to rent a car. Friendly and cheerful made the evenings be very fun drinking with the guests. The hostel is cozy and nice, very well located, our stay was a lot of fun, I miss you already!

Pros: super nice and considerate host; even walked me to the closest supermarket upon arrival and gave me some of his dinner, when I had ruined mine. tradtional tatami room on small Ikejima. since the main attractions are on the other islands, this small island is perfect to escape the crowds.

Cons: washing machine was extra. I survived my room-neighbour's loud snoring only with earplugs.

Pros: - Amazing owners, so friendly and helpful! - Perfect Japanese style accommodation experience - You can order local dinner prepared by owners, every day something different - Delicious coffee every morning - Very nice shared space with tatami, spend nice evenings with other guests in the living room! - Parking space - Family atmosphere

Cons: - Only one toilet for all guests, it was a problem when everyone got up at the same time in the morning - Mattress where to thin to sleep on the bunk bed, but it was good for tatami

Pros: Great place!

Pros: Yuri and Tetsu where really great and generous hosts. We were there at new years eve and they would show us some japanese traditions which was a great experience! After driving us to the east coast to see the first sunrise of the year we were invited to the new years lunch with some friends of them and could taste some great japanese food in a great athmosphere. In the night they made us Yutanpos (hot water bottles) which was also super nice! We would definitely recommend anyone to go there who wants to get an insight of a japanese household.

Pros: Best Option. You will get part of the family. Dinner was delicious and possibility to go snorchling with Tetsu. Additionally there is the option to rent a scooter or a bike from the hostel. Hostel in typical Okinawa style. I recommend this hostel.

Cons: Kurima Island is a little bit away from the main attractions however with car no problem.

Pros: We enjoyed staying there as the owners were very friendly and the guests were very helpful too. We became friends and you can get local info from other guests about best spots and shops and so on .

Cons: More toilets

Pros: - Great, cosy living room, getting together with other guests - spacy bedrooms with fridges - optional tasty dinner for a low price - awesome friendly and helpful staff!

Cons: - thin matraces - toilet shoes might need a replacement ;)

Pros: Everything

Pros: Nice friendly atmosphere. Good to meet other travelers. Location is good if you’re ok with being in small remote island. But you will absolutely need a car to make the most of the Miyako island otherwise you’ll be stuck.

Cons: Uncomfortable shared room: if you sleep below (in the bunk bed), each time the person above you moves a bit your bed will shake a LOT (not gentle). Strongly recommend sleeping in top bed (all taken when I was there as I was the last one, other lower ends empty). Need to pay extra to turn on air con in the room. Taxi to the city will cost you 2500Y.

Pros: It was clean, convenient, very quiet, easy to reach... It was very good for the price It's got only 3~4 rooms so you don't see people very much

Cons: Toilet is in elevated position 30cm high step up from floor and it's very small like any other Japanese bathroom

Pros: Near AeonMall Mayiko Minami

Pros: Quiet and clean. With balcony and microwave. Only 3-4 rooms in the hotel

Pros: The room. It was very bright nice room with air conditioning, tv and free WiFi.

Cons: There was a kettle but no tea bags nor instant coffee, nothing! There were 4 rooms and 3 parking spaces only.

Pros: Room is clean, big, short drive to city centre and family mart. Quiet around so I have good rest there. Although owner do not speak English but i have no issue to check in/out. Building and facilties are new.

Cons: Nothing!

Pros: Really small and nice structure. Just a few rooms. From the pics it isn't possible to understand well, but the room is really nice as a room hotel, with same comfort and accessories. Really clean. You have a balcony and a big common terrace. The position is good and there is parking. The staff can't speak english unfortunately but they are really kind.

Pros: Nice staff. They try to help you where they can.

Cons: It is very pricey. First we got into our Suite and our private pool was not heated. it was very Cold. impossible to get in there. they told us, if we wanted, a heated pool, we Need to upgrade to the royal Suite. We did that. So i Paid more than 900 a night for the royal Suite, but i did not feel like a royal. For this Money, you can get a lot better Resorts worldwide.

Pros: service from the staffs is 10/10, and the royal suite we stayed is really big for Japanese standard

Cons: items for bathing can be better, modern, stylish and breakfast for western style can be improved

Pros: Everything was perfect

Cons: Nothing

Pros: The view, the staff, everything available to do. It was an amazing experience and me and my wife will definitely return again.

Pros: The Royal Pool Suites are stunning, spacious, comfortable and well appointed. Love the range of restaurants that offered across Shigira resort... love the facilities at the nearby Mirage

Cons: would prefer later check out option

Pros: Standard fantastic Japanese hospitality throughout. The facilities were well appointed and the Pool Villa was absolutely stunning. Staff were super friendly and accommodating, despite our lack of Japanese.

Cons: A little on the pricey side, but well worth the experience.

Pros: Room size, pool, decor, service and proximity to beach

Cons: Although the hotel restaurant was fantastic, a variety of venues would make this better still

Pros: Very calm. Good beds and bathroom. Location, near airport. Strip mall just across the street, with restaurants and supermarket. Breakfast buffet. Mostly Japanese, but Western sélections too.

Cons: No closet, drawers or shelves, so can't unpack. Difficulty communicating with desk staff, very nice but speaking almost no English. Local area info in Japanese only.

Pros: Everything is so clean, breakfast is great and location is just perfect

Cons: Nothing

Pros: location is perfect, hotel is quite new

Cons: no electric bike rental

Pros: Room is a bit wider than standard japanese hotels. Perfectly clean. Coin laundry, microwave and vending machines available. Location was ideal because you can reach any spot in miyakojima within 25min by car. Right in front of the hotel there's a mall and some restaurants.

Cons: Parking was 500¥ per day. I understand they make good money out of it but other hotels give you parking for free. Staff told me there was no free parking around the structure but I found plenty of parking spots where to leave the car even overnight. Room has balcony but I'd rather have a slight bigger room without balcony other than a balcony that i can't use not even to dry the beach towel as birds poop on it. Plus i saw some spider webs so I'd never open that window. Staff or cleaner tried to enter in my room (when the room has been already cleaned) but has i placed the lock they couldn't get it. So they left without saying anything or apologize. I'm sure it was just a mistake but it's never a nice thing.

Pros: Nice and helpful staff. Room is clean and tidy, particularly like the shower with bathtub in reasonable size, feel like having shower in the onsen! Though there is no convenience store nearby, the tuck shop inside the hotel closes at 10pm is a quick fix anyway.

Cons: Everything is perfect except there is no place to hang wet swimming suits.

Pros: Its location and bathroom.

Cons: The bed was too hard and it hurt both our back and necks. The swimming pool opens in very awkward hours so it is not very possible to use. The restaurants in the resort are also not in very nice condition. Many of them look fairly ordinary and serve ordinary food. They don't live up to a resort expectation.

Pros: Not much to like about.

Cons: it was very pricey. Unfortunately for us there was a typhoon and we got stuck in the hotel. Restaurants were very pricey. You need to have a car as there’s nothing around if you want to buy food. My flight was delayed because of the typhoon and management showed no empathy and charged us very high for additional nights. We couldn’t use the pool as they took a lot of time to clean it. My son got hit by a Japanese lady at the hotel and management did not do anything. A disgrace . I will certainly not recommend this hotel to foreigners. Staff do not speak English.

Pros: We stay in the hotel during Typhoon 13 but we feel very safe. The information about typhoon and transport are updated. The staffs try their very best to arrange DIY, board games and even the Funky Flamingo band to sing for us. The breakfast buffet are super delicious with lots of choices and are different everyday. Highly recommended!

Cons: Not many staffs can speak in English but they try their very best to help. Much appreciated!

Pros: Clean, the staff are very helpful

Cons: Some cleaning noise disturb No convincing store nearby

Pros: Beautiful clean hotel. Beautiful location. Bath/shower room in the rooms were great! Free bus service around the resort and to/from airport. Free towel hire.

Cons: There were no restaurants for lunch or dinner. No iron or ironing board in the room. No bar.

Pros: breakfast very good

Pros: good breakfast, many choices although most of them oriented towards the Japanese guests location, with a beach within walkng distance and a free shuttle bus to the airport and neighbouring hotels and their restaurants. staff very nice very clean the hotel has a small convenience store

Cons: restaurants in the the hotel complex were quite expensive. the hotel is nice but expensive

Pros: The host, Tarota San was a super nice guy. He let me borrow his bike and snorkel gear for free and made recommendations on what beaches to go to.

Pros: I loved the very traditional Japanese style of the place. The room was spotless and very spacious. It came with many facilities like air-con, fan and even separate dehumidifier. The property owner is the friendliest and most helpful person you will ever meet. He provided us with some great insight of Miyako and Japan. The location is very central and you can rent bikes to go around the island. Don't forget to try Body Balance service offered at a discount to the guests - it's fantastic! Would recommend to anyone and stay there again. This place offers more than you're looking for.

Cons: There wasn't anything I didn't like

Pros: Everything was perfect I couldn’t ask more ! I highly recommend, very happy to have been there

Pros: You can cook at the kitchen.

Pros: The house is nice, clean and well equipped. It is near the centre part of Miyajima Island but is quiet at night. The room is not too big but comfortable. Everything is great. You can borrow a bike to go to the place nearby. When you stay, you may try the massage of the host. It is amazing that fix your body problem and reduce various pains related. The treatment costs not too much but the result is great. I will stay again if I visit Miyakojima in the future.

Cons: Nothing at all.

Pros: The owner is super friendly and helpful. He showed us around the island and gave tips on where to eat. He gave us snorkeling gear and there were four bicycles for us to use. The kitchen is fully equipped. There was coffee, tea and water for free usage. The shower and toilett are clean. Our room was spacious, clean and had a air-condition. The guesthouse is in a quiet area. A family mart, supermarket and restaurants are nearby. The beds and futon were comfortable.

Pros: feeling of living in a local home, cozy

Cons: if you do not have a car and with a big luggage, it will make some effort walking from the main road to the entrance of body balance house

Pros: Owner very helpful with all information and personal service. Collected me from airport exactly on time. Laid back and cool guy with assistance always ready to help.

Cons: Beds are very basic. No cotton sheets. For tall person feet hit against the bar. Mattress is not expensive time to invest.

Pros: Everything : very nice staff, always willing to help. The manager speaks a very good English. Good prices, well located. I will come back for sure !

Cons: Only two washing machines for the whole hostel

Pros: Breakfast okay but necessary, super friendly staff, modern renovated cozy hotel, nice restaurant for lunch and diner inside the hotel + a lot of restaurants in walking distance.

Cons: Hotel right next to the harbor, need a rental car to go to the nice beaches.

Pros: Very clean and comfortable! Stylish hotel

Cons: Not enough space for packing in front of hotel. Need to pack far away

Pros: Nice hotel and comfort

Pros: Great breakfast, lovely and helpful staff, good location close to the airport and to the main town. You’ll need a car or moped to explore the Island properly

Pros: I loved the view from the room, looking out over the harbor, with a nice table and chairs so that you can sit. The breakfast was really nice, and very helpful! There's a convenience store nearby, and the shampoo and body wash was fantastic...I actually would love to but the same brand for my home! Staff were mostly friendly. Check out time was nice and late! Free beach towels to use at the beach.

Cons: If you don't speak English, you might struggle to communicate with the staff. The 'pool' was tiny! I wouldn't even call it a pool to be honest, more like a large cold bath tub! The air conditioning was a bit weak - I was sweating like a pig within minutes of taking a shower (and I'm not a big man)!

Pros: Oh this place is lovely. A super nice apartment and extremely nice staff.

Pros: Due to admission to hospital, my husband and l were granted free cancellation. Our friends went for the trip and told us that it’s wonderful. Got everything they wanted and felt very contented.

Pros: The sea view is excellent , if you like the sea of Okinawa , you should make a consideration to rent this hotel .

Pros: small Japanese-style apartment with usual facilities : small kitchen, toilet, japanese bathroom, and including a washing machine ! also available : dish detergent, shampoo/shower gel, hand soap, washing machine detergent without forgetting there is a parking lot below the building 10min walk away from the "city center", not too far from a Family Mart (convenience store) and 100m away from Painagama beach check-in was fast and staff was helpful they also own the diving shop below

Cons: it is not a hotel, more like renting a small apartment the shop to get the keys (check-in) close at 7pm... better hurry when you have an afternoon flight (you cannot take the local bus as the bus will leave at 18:50 from SHI airport) it is on the first floor, on the right above the OK diving shop (take the stairs on the right side of the building) no towel given (not even hand towel) for the price per night, its a shame... but they are renting them for 500yen per day (which is way too much... ). I think this should be a given.

Pros: big and nice washing machine. Bowl and dishes available so you can even cook yourself.

Cons: It is an apartment so don't expect any room service. We spent sometimes finding the check in place but found out it is in another building.
