I stayed here for two nights in late April. It was a very relaxing stay. When I was outside during check-in, the owner saw me and came out of the cafe across the street to explain everything about the guesthouse. The room was spacious enough. If I had to mention a negative, I'd say the cleaning could be a little better. Also, the building itself is old, so it can't be helped, but I stayed in a tatami room and was bothered by a slight musty smell. There's only one tatami room, and the other three are Western-style with wooden floors, so I imagine those wouldn't have the tatami mold smell. Another thing was that when I turned off the lights to sleep in the tatami room, light from the hallway leaked through the sliding door, which made it hard to fall asleep. Both nights were fully booked, and besides me, there were two ********* girls and two individual male travelers. The relaxed atmosphere was the best part. I had an early start on check-out day, so I left without saying goodbye to the owner, but thank you for your hospitality.

Old traditional Japanese house, cozy and nice. Clean and has a big toilet for shower. Towel is provided hence is a bonus for most guest house I have been to. Couldn’t get the sea view but have to walk out 1 min to see the sea. Nice area near to the light house for a good sunset view.

Accommodation with ocean views.
The rooms and common areas are clean, but there is only one bathroom/shower room, so it may get crowded at times.
There are convenience stores and restaurants within walking distance.

My stay in Okinawa was fantastic! I chose this place because it's close to a dive shop. Although it rained for several days, and the location was a bit remote with inconvenient public transportation, it didn't affect my trip at all. The hotel was well-equipped, clean, and had a homey feel. It's right next to the beach, making it excellent value for money. I chose a sea-view room, which must have offered a beautiful view on a clear day.
The owner's vegetarian cafe next door didn't operate for long, and other restaurants and convenience stores were a walk from the Yomitan Village bus terminal, but I still enjoyed relaxing there. The area is safe, which made it a safe place for a solo female traveler like myself. I was very satisfied with my stay and would definitely come back again.

The accommodation is right next to the coast, with beautiful scenery, but it can be a bit difficult to find if you're driving.
The accommodation was very clean and comfortable, just like being at home. The owner's attention to detail was evident in every little corner of the common areas. The room also had charging outlets by the bed and floor-to-ceiling windows for ventilation. I hope to have the opportunity to come back and stay longer next time.

Everything was dirty and filthy.
There were bugs in the bathroom and the shower didn't have hot water.
There were bugs in the bedroom and I got bitten by ticks.
The kitchen was rusty and the structure was so bad I didn't even think about using it. ㅠ
I would never go there even if it was free. There are a lot of ticks.

It's okay to stay alone for a short stay, there are not many places to eat nearby.

The B&B is run by a couple and their service attitude is very good.
The environment is hygienic and clean, and many foreigners live there
The location is close to the seaside. Although it is windy, it is very comfortable
You can watch the sunrise and sunset at the beach. It’s so beautiful. I will go there again next time!

We stayed in a twin room for two people without meals.
There was no information about amenities on the website, so I emailed them and received an answer the next day.
I had trouble finding the hotel on the day, so I called them and they told me where it was, and I managed to find it.
There was a sign in front of the hotel, but it wasn't a hotel-like building, and the entrance was like an ordinary house, so it took courage to ring the intercom.
There was a room with a lock when you enter the entrance, which was like an ordinary house, but I think it was probably originally an ordinary house.
There were some places where the floor looked like it was about to dent, but it seemed to be properly cleaned.
My child said there was hair on the bed and ants on the floor.
There were towels, bath towels, shampoo, conditioner, and body soap in the bathroom, but the shower and faucet were difficult to use because you had to turn the faucet every time.
There was a hair dryer in the room, but no toothbrush set, etc., and although Wi-Fi was free to connect, there was no TV in the room.
We were told that we could use the living room freely except from 11pm to 7am, and it had all the necessities you'd find in a regular kitchen, such as a refrigerator, kettle, sink, and microwave, and the toilet and bathroom were shared.
