forumWhat families say

Rakuten Travel rating 4.68 out of 5 (176 reviews). This is the island's longest-established inn, in the preserved townscape district of Taketomi Island, and it also serves as an official youth hostel of the Japan Youth Hostels Association. Guests praise how quiet and unhurried a stay here is, surrounded by red-tiled roofs with a shisa seated on top and by the old-fashioned townscape. Sights such as Kondoi Beach and water-buffalo cart tours are close by, and with plenty of mixing between travelers it is an approachable inn for families too.

Overview

Youth Hostel Takana Ryokan is the ryokan with the longest history on Taketomi Island. Alongside the red-tiled main building and annex, there is a detached building that opened in 2013, and the detached building can also be booked in its entirety. Dinner is Okinawan cuisine and breakfast is a Japanese set meal, both served in the dining room. The Western-style room cannot accept children of elementary school age and younger, the main building's 6-tatami Japanese-style tatami room cannot accept children under school age, and co-sleeping is not permitted, so you need to check ages when choosing a room. It is a 15-minute walk from the Taketomi Island pier, but a free shuttle is available.

Rooms

There are three room types: the main building, the annex and the detached building. The main building offers "a 6-tatami Japanese-style tatami room where 1 to 2 guests can relax," with a shared bath and toilet. The Western-style room on the second floor of the annex is "a twin room with 2 single beds," 18 sq m, sleeping 1 to 2 guests, with a bath, a toilet and a refrigerator. Because the beds are single beds, children who would be co-sleeping cannot stay, and as it is a Western-style room, children of elementary school age and younger cannot be accepted either. You reach the second floor by stairs, so if stairs are a concern, one of the other room types is recommended. The detached building has Japanese-Western rooms made up of a 6-tatami Japanese-style tatami room, a 2-tatami engawa veranda and an 8-tatami wood-floored area; they sleep 1 to 4 guests, are non-smoking, and have a bath and a toilet with a bidet function. There are 2 such rooms, and booking both gives you the whole building to yourselves.

Dining

Dinner is Okinawan cuisine and breakfast is a Japanese set meal, both served in the dining room. Dinner is served from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m., with last orders at 7 p.m., and breakfast from 7 a.m. to 10 a.m., with last orders at 8 a.m. The number of meals for children follows the meal conditions of the plan you book.

Baths

There is no communal bath, private-hire bath or onsen. If you stay in the main building, the bath and toilet are shared. Please speak to the front desk when you would like to use the bath.

Family-Friendly Notes

The conditions for accepting children differ by room type. The Western-style room on the second floor of the annex cannot accept children of elementary school age and younger, and the main building's 6-tatami Japanese-style tatami room cannot accept children under school age. Co-sleeping is not permitted. Rates for elementary school children are 8,400 yen on the standard plan, for both the upper and lower grades, and 70% of the adult rate on the detached-building plan. Conditions for infants and toddlers vary by plan: on the detached building's plan with two meals, an infant or toddler with meals and bedding is 50% of the adult rate, and bedding only is 2,000 yen, while the standard plan cannot accept infants and toddlers at all. When booking, check your child's age against the conditions for the plan and room type you are using.
