Hotel Peace Island Ishigaki in Yashima

“Perfectly serviceable "business hotel"-level place to lay your head. Ideal location.”

On Ishigaki Island, in the port area, a few hotels match the standard business hotel you’d find elsewhere in Japan without booking into Toyoko Inn across the bay. This one isn’t bad: friendly staff, a prime spot for the island’s best food and shopping, and easy ferry access. You get your own bath (rare in the area) and the set breakfast (not a buffet) is passable. However, like a couple of the other hotels at this level, it’s clearly a converted ex‑apartment building with slightly odd architecture: huge clanking steel doors for each “room” and a cramped elevator. Not the end of the world.

The hotel sits in an old building, wedged between a road and another hotel with a parking lot, and a convenience store on each side—no views at all. It’s about 15 minutes on foot to Ishigaki center along the road. There are small balconies in the corridors and at each room, but they’re covered in a massive net, so definitely no views. The rooms are well equipped but the utilities are old and poorly maintained. The staff are nice, but most of them don’t speak a word of English, which makes communication hard. Breakfast was traditional Japanese, with a mix of meats, salad, fish, and egg, finished with rice, soup, and some bread. I stayed there for 8 nights and every morning the breakfast was the same. The coffee was very disappointing.

“ちょっと狭いかも”

The room had a washing machine inside, but it was cramped and a large suitcase left little room to walk around.

“建て替えを考える時期だと思う”

I liked that I could smoke and that getting to the island terminal or the downtown area was easy, but the door was rusted through with a hole in it, which I could tolerate only because I was traveling alone.

“コスパ重視のひとり旅”

The price‑performance beat the nearby hotels, the bus from the airport dropped me off within a five‑minute walk and the island terminal is also within walking distance, plus a FamilyMart next door was handy, although the room’s age and the towels and other amenities felt exactly what you’d expect for the price.
