Ishigaki Seaside Hotel

We stayed for 2 nights as a group of 2 adults. Unfortunately, the weather was not great, so the ocean view right in front of us was disappointing, but on a sunny day, you can enjoy an amazing view from the Room! The separate toilet and bath, along with two sinks, made it incredibly cost-effective! The cute pajamas were also a delightful touch! It was convenient to wear those pajamas when using the coin laundry, and sandals for use within the Hotel were provided in the Room. The Facility is slightly old but reflects thoughtful hospitality. We would love to stay here again someday.

In Ishigaki Island, where luxury resort hotels have increased and prices have risen, this Resort Hotel may feel a bit dated in terms of facilities but stands out as a hidden gem with its own beach—a rarity on the island. I first stayed here last year and was charmed by the atmosphere and price, leading to my second stay. This was my fifth visit to Ishigaki Island overall.Although it seems far from the center of Ishigaki Island, it's only about 30-40 minutes by car if you rent one. In fact, I drove into the city center for dinner each evening. With no traffic lights along the way, it becomes an easy drive once you're used to it. Moreover, passing by Kabira Bay and driving through sugarcane fields on the way back to the hotel adds a relaxing island vibe that is truly refreshing.This time, I also took a local bus to Yonehara Beach. The ride takes about 30 minutes each way, but I found joy in observing the scenery during the journey and while waiting for my return bus—it was quite moving. Of course, Yonehara Beach itself is famous for its coral reefs right near shore; even with just goggles on hand, I thoroughly enjoyed snorkeling there. The hotel's location makes it an excellent base for such excursions.Another highlight is having a large public bath onsite. After coming back from the beach or heading out into town for dinner by car, being able to freshen up in the bath before bed is invaluable.Lastly, stepping out of the hotel entrance offers a view of mountains framed by palm trees planted nearby—this scene reminded me somewhat of Hawaii and left quite an impression on me!
