Popular Ishigaki 4-star Hotels

An extraordinary experience on a tropical island. I recommend this hotel for traveling with child. I stayed here for a couple of nights in August with my first grader. It takes 30 minutes from the airport by hotel bus. We stayed on the 3rd floor of the South Wing. The entire building is on the lower floors, so you feel as if you are living in a tropical village, full of extraordinary atmosphere. I got the impression that there were many guests with children. 　The rooms are spacious and new. The view of the ocean outside the wiindow is very nice. The bathrooms are clean. There are two washing machines on each floor, and laundry hangers are always available in the room, which is also very convenient. Amenities are simple but well stocked. The children's toothpaste was too bitter for my child. 　The pool is well stocked, including a pool for kids, and the kids seem to be having a lot of fun. There are several lifeguards on duty, which gives a sense of security. The beach in front of the hotel is amazing. It is deep enough for adults to almost reach their feet, but the water is clear and the small corals? It is clear, and the small corals are teeming with fish, so snorkeling is a lot of fun. Naturally, there is a lifeguard on duty, so it is safe. However, there are many coral fragments on the bottom and in the surf, so it is better to rent or bring marine shoes. After the pool and ocean, there is a large public bath. It is not that crowded. You can wash your body well in the solty. Breakfast is a buffet breakfast at Ryukyu Shintenchi on the first day and at ISHIGAKI BOLD KITCHEN on the second day. It is usually delicious, and the kids are satisfied with the fruits and desserts. For dinner, we reserved an izakaya in town for the first day and took a cab (about 1400 yen), but it was hard to get a reservation at an izakaya in Ishigaki Island during the high season after Corona. Cabs were also crowded, and it was hard to catch a cab, probably because it was far from the town. I was worried if I could really go back home, but somehow it turned out to be OK. We had a buffet dinner at ISHIGAKI BOLD KITCHEN in the hotel on the second day, and it was delicious. There was also an all-you-can-drink menu. Even if you stay for consecutive nights, you may not get bored with only the restaurants in the hotel. The South Wing is a distance away, so a cart is convenient to get you from your room to the front desk and restaurants. You may have to wait about 10 minutes for the cart to come, so it is better to allow plenty of time for the cart ride. The hotel staff is also very responsive. I am ashamed to say that I was careless and left without my card key and was unable to get into my room, but I called the front desk and they brought it right back to me. I called the front desk and they brought it to me right away. They responded with a smile even though it was a busy time of day. I really appreciated it. There are plenty of activities such as snorkel tours, starlight

The hotel has high-rise buildings with sea views and garden villas. I chose the latter because it is newly built. The price is slightly cheaper. There is a free shuttle bus from the airport to the hotel. Just make an appointment on the hotel's official website in advance. Surprise 1 when arriving at the hotel: If you stay for two consecutive nights and do not need cleaning, but only exchange towels and yukatas, you will receive a 1,000 yen hotel supermarket shopping voucher. Surprise 2: Welcome drink in the lobby ~ Free flow of Okinawa Orion beer😍 Surprise 3: The room is very spacious, about 30 square meters, equipped with a Nestle coffee machine and 4 freshly ground coffees; there are welcome drinks in the refrigerator, 4 bottles of mineral water, 2 cans of Okinawa tea, 2 cans of sparkling wine, and 2 cans of Orion beer, only on the first day, all free😱 Toiletries are available, and the girls' skin care products are DHC. The bathtub is deep and large. Of course, people who are used to hot springs can go to the big bath. The sauna is 86 degrees. The island is hot and humid, just right for dehumidification✌️ The garden is very beautiful, and the outdoor swimming pool is particularly beautiful at night👍 Surprise 4: The buffet breakfast is very delicious, and it is most suitable for people who want to try all the local Okinawan cuisine at once. The hotel has a car rental service. You only need to make an appointment by phone in advance, pick up the car in the hotel parking lot, and return it to the same place. It costs 8,500 yen a day. You don’t need to fill up the gasoline when returning. It is convenient and cheap👌 Thank you hotel, a great stay experience🙏

We arrived by car too late to get a car park at the hotel so we had to park about 100ms away down a side street. The room was fine. It had a good view and was very clean The breakfast was delicious and served in a nice room with a garden view. It was busy but the staff were excellent and the tables were turned over promptly. We loved the” save the planet” initiative and in fact were able to buy two tiny pieces of pottery with our coupons just for not having everything washed and changed. The pottery was from the excellent gift shop in the lobby which was actually the best I saw on my trip to Japan. There was also a small grocery shop in the lobby. It was a shortish walk to the ferry and main drag. There were eating options available across the road. We would recommend the dumpling place. They had take away coffee and doughnuts if you wished for breakfast. We would stay here again.

The weather was not the best when we pulled up in our car but we saw that this hotel would be excellent for a longer stay in the warmer weather. It would be perfect for families. We could imagine how many fantastic memories could be made here. Our room was very spacious and had a beautiful sea view. It had a large bathroom with separate bath and toilet. We played ground golf which we had not heard of before. It was so much fun even for real golfers! We enjoyed the gift shop and purchased the obligatory SPAM bag and some biscuits. The evening buffet dinner was such a surprise . We had a beautiful window table which helped as it was fairly busy. The food was outstanding. The choice and quality and presentation was totally unexpected. We are still talking about it and will do so for a long time. Breakfast was equally as good. Sadly we only had one night here. I am not sure how good the more expensive hotels on the island are but we felt this one was a winner for us.

The Vessel Hotel was very helpful from Sapporo Station. It was also very helpful in Ishigaki. It's close to the Ishigaki Remote Island Terminal, but it's about a 10-minute walk from the airport bus. It would be best if it wasn't raining, but be careful during the rainy season. It's a short distance and I feel bad taking a taxi. I gave it a 3 for location, but the facilities, service, and breakfast were perfect! Especially at breakfast, of course there was Okinawan cuisine! Even the tuna and sea grapes were delicious! Drinks! Genki was also all-you-can-drink! I would like to come back again.

The north is the construction site and the road, very noisy, must choose the room to the south by the sea. The service staff is very friendly and has bicycle rental, but you must rent it early or you will have the children's bike left. Riding the children's bike around the island for sightseeing. The challenge is great 😂

離島バスターミナル横なので、路線バスでの移動を考えている人は便利です。雨が降っても最短距離で行けます。人気の居酒屋ひとしやさよこの店も歩いて行けます。 古くホテルは生理的に無理なので、一番新しい美崎館を指定しましたが、部屋がカビ？湿気？独特の匂い（南国では仕方ないのでしょうか？）が辛かったです。窓を開けると虫が入るかもしれないし。 朝食は郷土料理もありましたが、パンの質が悪かったです。 大浴場を楽しみにしていましたが、年季が入ったお風呂でした。なぜか洗い場や浴槽下に小石？異物があって痛かったです。お湯がぬるくて気持ちよくなかったです。入り口の鍵付きのロッカーにルームキーを入れて入りましたが、おばあさんはそのロッカーに自身のスリッパを入れて鍵をかけていました。あのロッカーは靴箱ですか？（脱衣場には鍵がかかるロッカーはありませんでした）説明が書いていないので、何が正しいのか分かりません。気分が悪かったです。自分の部屋のバスタブに好みの入浴剤を入れた方がよかったです。 とはいえ、立地条件は良いので是非、大浴場のある棟を立て直して綺麗にすれば、一段とホテルの格が上がるのになぁと感じました。

I had a very comfortable stay. It was quiet and clean, and both breakfast and dinner were delicious. It was also nice that the bathroom was separate from the toilet and spacious. The welcome drink of awamori was also great. In addition, the library in the basement has a good selection of comics, and I thought that it would be okay even if I had to stay in my room due to a typhoon because I had a collection of classic classics from a while ago. Speaking of difficulties, it is a lie that it is a 2-minute walk from the nearest bus stop, and it is uphill, and it takes 5 minutes even if you walk quickly.

The best thing about this hotel is the location. It's right in front of Ishigaki Terminal and just a 2-minute walk from the downtown area. The room had a loft, which the kids loved. The bed was very comfortable and we had a good night's sleep. It was wide, so there was plenty of room for two adults and two small children. It's a stylish facility, so I was a little worried about whether it would be okay to bring children, but there were plenty of children's toothbrushes, pajamas, and toys, so we had a great time.

It is simply an amazing place to stay. The hotel is small which is what we like. The rooms are very spacious and beautifully decorated. The staff is very friendly and attentive. I am not sure about their English as me and my wife speak Japanese but there was 1 staff that looked Nepali. The room was immaculately cleaned every day. Beautiful empty white sand beach right out the front. Not the best for snorkeling as it’s mostly sand bottom but great to swim and watch the night sky. We had a car which is necessary as it’s 25 minutes drive from the city and we wanted to explore the island anyway. Small but beautiful spa with ocean view on the top floor. Me and my wife will definitely stay in this hotel again.
