Overview
Art Hotel Ishigakijima is a 245-room urban resort hotel on high ground above central Ishigaki. Getting here is easy: the airport is 25 minutes away by car, and the ferry terminal for the outlying islands is 8 minutes by car. The hotel has an ultra-soft-water communal bath, a garden pool (open seasonally) and a buffet restaurant, among other facilities. Co-sleeping is free for one child of elementary school age or younger per adult, and cribs, strollers and other children's items are available to borrow, so the hotel is an easy stay even with small children.
Rooms
The room lineup covers a range of family sizes. The Casual Twin is 22.6 sq m, a Hollywood-twin layout with two 110 cm-wide beds pushed flush together. The Superior Twin has two 140 cm-wide double beds and sleeps up to 5 guests when a sofa bed is added, and the Superior Triple has three 110 cm-wide beds lined up side by side. The Deluxe Fours on the 2nd floor sleeps up to 5 guests; alongside two beds, it has two mattresses permanently laid out on a raised platform, which is reassuring for families with young children. Co-sleeping is free for one child of elementary school age or younger per adult. If you let the hotel know in advance, the beds can be pushed flush together and moved against the wall, though this is not available in the Deluxe rooms. Please note that a rental crib cannot be set up in some room types, including the Casual Twin and the Superior Triple.
Dining
Breakfast is a buffet at All-Day Dining Aquaris on the 1st floor, ranging from Okinawan dishes made with island ingredients to Western fare. There is no dedicated children's menu, but the buffet has plenty of dishes children find easy to eat, such as pancakes, Yaeyama soba (the local Okinawan noodles), bread, sausages and ham. Every restaurant has children's chairs and tableware, and staff will accept baby food you bring and warm it for you. An allergen table has been prepared for the 8 specified allergenic ingredients, including egg, milk and wheat, and at All-Day Dining Aquaris the display card for each dish carries allergen marks. On plans that include breakfast, breakfast is free for children aged 6 and under. When dining at Harusaa, the yakiniku and Chinese restaurant, children aged 4 to 6 (and only this age group) can use the dinner buffet at the adjacent Aquaris for 1,000 yen. At Capricorn, the sky bar on the top floor, children under 6 may be refused entry after 9 p.m., so take care if you plan to go with young children.
Baths
The ultra-soft-water communal bath Nifai-yu is free for staying guests from check-in through checkout. It is open from 6 a.m. to 9 a.m. (last entry 8:45 a.m.) and from 3 p.m. to midnight (last entry 11:45 p.m.), with a high-temperature sauna in the men's bath and a mist sauna in the women's bath. Both the men's and women's changing rooms have a diaper-changing table. Under an Okinawa Prefecture ordinance, children aged 7 and over cannot bathe with the opposite sex, so you can bathe with a child of the opposite sex only up to age 6. Children cannot bathe on their own and must always be accompanied by an adult.
Family-friendly features
Strollers (A-type and B-type), cribs (for ages 0 to 24 months), bed guards to prevent falls while co-sleeping (for ages 18 to 60 months) and children's roomwear (110 cm and 130 cm) are all available to borrow free of charge, and strollers can be taken out sightseeing as well as used inside the hotel.
