“爽やか”

Clean, nothing missing, good airflow. The front is a sea‑road so there are many late‑night motorbike riders.

“A wonderful stay in a quaint seaside town”

We enjoyed a lovely stay with these hosts. The place is a residential house with guest rooms on the upper floor, giving a nice mix of homestay and hotel vibes. Each entrance is separate, and you get a hotel‑style room with a private balcony overlooking the water, so privacy is excellent. The host speaks English and strikes a good balance—warm and engaging when you want to chat, but otherwise respectful of your space and never intrusive, making the stay comfortable and relaxed. The property also has four friendly cats who are very sweet and always around to get pets. The location is a short 8‑minute walk to a couple of restaurants and a Lawson, which is very convenient. The island itself is a quiet, residential beach area where many businesses close around 3 pm, but it has a charming, laid‑back atmosphere, and it’s easy to drive about 15 minutes to the neighboring island for more options. Nothing negative.

The hosts were amazing—friendly, accommodating, and eager to answer any questions. They brought a friend to help plan the itinerary. The room was perfect: a queen, comfortable, quiet, with a sea view. I highly recommend this place and the hosts are exceptional! I did remind the host that it might be useful to have an English‑language guide for their guests as well.

“I wouldn’t recommend it if you are particular about hygiene and cleanliness.”

The shower water pressure was strong and warm. However, calling this a hotel is wrong; it’s more like an Airbnb, part of someone’s home with a separate entrance. The Google address and the one on the website were both wrong, sending us to a cemetery! We managed to find it during the day, otherwise we would have been lost. We asked a nearby Lawson for help; the staff were friendly and helped us locate the correct map, even though they hadn’t heard of the hotel. The location is hard to find because it’s on a narrow, unmarked road. When we arrived, the lady owner quickly came out to the car porch and handed us the key. Inside, we found hair on the towels (they were sticking out!) and on the shower wall. The sheets and towels are dark blue, so it’s hard to tell if they were clean. The slippers were also heavily used and not sanitized. The air conditioner made crackling noises at night, and we could hear running water, though we’re not sure where it came from, so we didn’t sleep well. We only stayed one night.
