Experience of the stay
〈Pros〉
I was worried about the dormitory room, but all spaces other than the shared areas are separated by gender, which is reassuring. After 11 PM, you enter through the back door with a passcode. Each room has a security box, and there are three washing and drying machines available for a fee. If staying multiple nights, towels are exchanged. There were many Western guests, but everyone was well-mannered, and it was quiet at night, allowing for a good night's sleep. It is somewhat far from the island terminal, but it is conveniently located near markets, convenience stores, and 18th Street.
〈Cons〉
You need to change to indoor slippers at the entrance. If you are concerned, I recommend bringing disposable slippers!
You bring the rolling suitcase inside without wiping it, so the hygiene aspect was a bit concerning.
The shared refrigerator is packed, so if the timing is bad, you might not be able to fit your items.
Experiences during the trip
I have been to Ishigaki many times and have enjoyed changing accommodations. This time I stayed here for two nights, and for the third night, I was at Hotel Kukuru in the city.
On the second day, I met up with a friend and rented a car to snorkel at Maebara Beach, enjoyed juice at the popular Papa-ya, and had lunch at a stylish cafe serving delicious mozuku noodles.
