Rooms
The rooms are 6-tatami-mat Japanese-style tatami rooms where you sleep on futons. There are two types: a 6-tatami room with a shared bath and toilet, and a 6-tatami room with its own bath and toilet. Both types take 1 to 3 guests, and there are 8 rooms in total. The rooms are split between the first and second floors, and you reach the second floor by an outdoor staircase.
Dining
Dinner is served at 6 p.m. and breakfast from 8 a.m., eaten in the dining room together with the other guests. The cooking is home-style, centered on Okinawan and Japanese dishes. If anyone has a food allergy, you need to say so when booking.
Baths
The baths are shared, with a shower room and a bathroom with a bathtub. These facilities are used together with the other guests.
Family-Friendly Notes
For families with children of elementary school age or younger, bookings are not accepted through this booking channel and must be made by phone, email or social media. Children cannot be booked as adults. Because there are only a few rooms, people traveling together are asked to book into the same room, and booking one room per person is difficult. The minshuku advises that, as a guesthouse with shared facilities on a remote island, it is not quiet and insects may appear.
Access
It is a 15-minute walk from Taketomi Port. To use the pickup service, you need to call before you board the boat at Ishigaki Port; a call after you have arrived at Taketomi Port cannot be accommodated. Pickups start with the 9:30 a.m. departure from Ishigaki, and there is also a bus that circles the island. There is no parking.
