Hotel Happy Holiday Ishigaki Island

This was my first time using this accommodation. The location was great, and the room I stayed in was cleaner and more spacious than I had imagined, which made me very satisfied. The breakfast bento box was also hearty, and the staff were kind. I will definitely use this accommodation again when I visit Ishigaki Island next time.

The accommodation is conveniently located within a 5-minute walk from the Remote Island Terminal, Bus Terminal, and Euglena Mall. Unlike many recent budget accommodations with dormitory rooms, this is a standard hotel with private rooms, offering a quiet and relaxing stay. It has been around for over 20 years, so there is some sense of age, but cleaning and maintenance are well taken care of. The shower provides plenty of hot water without any issues like mold on the shower curtain. The only slight downside was the worn-out bed mattress. The staff I interacted with during my stay were all very pleasant. Their hospitality felt genuine and local rather than following a typical business hotel manual approach. As others have mentioned, the breakfast bento options were enjoyable to choose from, there was a shampoo bar available, and extension cords were provided in the guest rooms—small but thoughtful touches that showed consideration for guests' needs. I would love to stay here again when visiting Yaeyama next time!
