Scenic Hotels in Ishigaki

"My stay was from late February to early March, and I was in room 5503. The first thing I noticed, and it's a major plus, is the fantastic location. It's incredibly convenient for island hopping, being right next to the Ishigaki Port Remote Island Terminal. The bus terminal is also within walking distance, making airport access and getting around the city a breeze. Even as a first-timer to Ishigaki, I felt very comfortable getting around. Breakfast was served from 6:30 AM to 9:30 AM at ”Toreador” on the first floor, a Japanese and Western-style buffet. I used it and was pleased to find a good selection of Okinawan dishes, like Goya Champuru and Okinawa Soba, really adding to the vacation feel. It was great that it opened early, allowing plenty of time to eat even before heading out to the islands. The breakfast ticket system was well-managed, and the instructions at check-in were clear, so there was no confusion. My room was generally clean and had a calm atmosphere. While the facilities weren't brand new, they were well-maintained and comfortable. The bed was comfortable, and I was able to get a good rest after tiring days of sightseeing. Being on a higher floor was also a plus, as I wasn't bothered much by outside noise and enjoyed a peaceful stay. The staff were very polite and helpful, and both check-in and check-out were smooth. Their explanations for sightseeing and hotel facilities were easy to understand, which was reassuring. I feel that this kind of attentive service significantly enhances the overall satisfaction of the stay. Overall, the hotel offers an excellent balance of location, convenience, price, and service. I'd particularly recommend it to anyone planning to visit the outlying islands. Even including the actual breakfast and use of the public bath, my satisfaction was high. It's a reliable base for an Ishigaki Island stay. I would definitely want to stay here again on my next visit to Ishigaki."

"The room was spacious and comfortable, though the pillows weren't the best. The hotel staff were all very good, but there seemed to be too few of them. When we checked out early, everyone was busy in the restaurant, and the front desk was unattended. It took us a while to find someone, even though we had already provided our departure and check-out times during check-in. The hotel has a great variety of recreational facilities, including multiple pools, snorkeling and diving excursions, as well as SUP and kayaks available by the shore. There's also a golf course. Dining at the hotel was convenient, and there's also an excellent certified Ishigaki beef restaurant nearby, plus a good Tri-Mountain ramen place."

"We have enjoyed our stay and it was because of a great job their staff are doing. Every crew, every shift. They all were perfect. They have helped us with every little thing, every issue we've had. They even showed us different rooms in case we are not satisfied with ours. We are sorry to bother you and grateful at the same time. Yes, the breakfast is excellent. Yes, they have welcome ice cream and welcome drinks. Yes, the location is very close to the port and city . Yes, they have plenty of amenities you might need. But the staff is why I recommend this hotel."

"The breakfast offered a wide variety of good quality options, and even on weekdays, the hotel had a high occupancy rate. The staff were very friendly; I was particularly touched when the gentleman responsible for cleaning in the morning bowed to me in a traditional Japanese greeting. We booked sea view rooms through Trip.com, and my friend and I each made separate bookings. It turned out the room types were slightly different, with one being much closer to the sea, which led to a bit of a disagreement with the front desk. Luckily, we speak Japanese, and the hotel eventually made a compromise, for which I'm grateful! I hope Trip.com can be more accurate when describing room types during the booking process to avoid such unnecessary hassle. The hotel is right by the sea, and the water is clear, but it's a shame there's no sandy beach, which was a bit disappointing. The rooms are also on the smaller side."

"I stayed at the Toyoko Inn Okinawa Ishigaki Hotel. I felt great when I checked in and entered my room, as I could see the ocean. Also, the breakfast suited my taste, the coffee was unlimited, and the room was very clean. I would like to stay at this hotel on my next business trip. I highly recommend it."

"The environment is beautiful, and the room isn't too small. There's a large outdoor hot spring bath on the upper floor. If the weather is clear, you can even see the Milky Way from the pool! Breakfast was delicious! They even have Yaeyama soba, haha."

"The location is a 5-minute drive from Fusaki Beach, but since you can't use the beach for free and it's a bit far from the city center, it's just so-so. Our room was a Forest Wing room with direct access to the pool, which was convenient as it made it easy to get to the pool and the breakfast restaurant was nearby. However, the problem is that the pool is too small and there is only one, so swimming for just an hour or two gets boring, making it impossible to enjoy swimming all day long. Also, half of the rooms with direct access to the pool are located in front of the shallow toddler pool, making them not very useful for families with older children, such as elementary school students or older. If I had known in advance, I would have requested a room in front of the adult pool (which isn't very deep either) before check-in; it is a shame. Then, my child could have gone into the water to play alone while my husband and I watched from the room, and I was really disappointed that we couldn't do that. The room was really spacious and fully equipped with a large refrigerator and a washing machine, making it very convenient for our 4-night stay. The fact that the bedroom is separated from the living room is also a huge advantage. I am 200% satisfied with the room. The problem is the breakfast; the variety is too limited, and the food hardly changed throughout the four-night stay, making the last day truly miserable. However, the food generally tastes good. I recommend it if you plan to relax in your room and have little need to use the pool, but I do not recommend it if the pool and breakfast are important to you."

"Compared to other hotels in Ishigaki, this one is genuinely clean, and I didn't encounter any mosquitoes or bugs (which I did at a previous stay near Kabira Bay). The location is excellent; it's convenient for driving anywhere. It only takes about 10 minutes to get to the city center for izakaya and late-night snacks. The facilities are quite good, with a large public bath, a private beach, and a spacious pool. If you're interested in booking local tours, they also have a counter to assist you."

"The hotel has a great location, about a 4-minute walk from the airport shuttle bus. There's a dive shop right next to the hotel, making it very convenient for boat trips. It's also very close to the pier, and everything else is easily accessible. I recommend booking island activities in advance, as same-day bookings may not be available."

"This hotel's location is absolutely perfect! It's within walking distance of the bustling downtown area, the port, and the bus terminal, which was incredibly convenient for dropping off shopping bags or taking a quick break from the heat. Plus, having a convenience store and a drug store right next door was a huge bonus for any last-minute needs. The entire hotel was spotlessly clean. I noticed insect repellent spray in the hallway, but I'm happy to report I didn't encounter any bugs, which was a relief. The nights were quiet, and I wasn't bothered by any noise from other rooms, allowing me to get some really good rest. What truly made this hotel special were the thoughtful and charming details – like the colorful tiled table in the room, and the lanterns provided for using the rooftop area. It was such a lovely touch. Stargazing at night and enjoying the sea view during the day was incredibly relaxing. I would definitely want to stay here again. This hotel was truly a highlight of my first trip to Ishigaki!"
