I very very enjoyed staying here. The room was spacious, very clean and comfortable with a great view to the garden. The food was exceptional and Kiyoko-san was such a great host and made me really feel at home. I definitely want to come back here.

Very friendly owner, nice facility with fridge and washing machine. Excellent see view from the room and garden. Familiar atmosphere in the hotel.
Since regular buses operate only till early afternoon it is necessary to rent a car to explore the island.

The family who manages the place is adorable, an excellent stay thanks to them, despite the capricious winter weather.

We loved everything there. Waking up in the morning and seeing the beautiful ocean from the room was especially nice. The owner Kyoko-san was the best host ever. We'll visit again just to see her!
Thank you so much!

Brilliant host, very knowledgeable about the area and the island in general. She speaks good English and helped us a lot in booking guided tours even at the last minute by calling on the phone on our behalf, which was great. The cooked breakfast was really good and different on both days we stayed, and there was always some bread and jam on the side. The property has rental bikes available, a place outdoors to dry clothes, and a tap near the entrance to wash you sandy feet after going to the beach.
The property is quite isolated, which is great to get the feeling of wilderness that Iriomote offers, but not ideal if you want to eat out in the evening or go to a shop. We didn't need it because delicious dinner was available at the property (paid separately).

The place was very clean.
Breakfast was described as being basic, but was actually quite substantial.
Lots of well thought out signage in Japanese and good English.
Entertainment was spot on. The room opposite the dining room suddenly opened with a female guest running out in panic. Her partner dressed only in underwear could be seen swatting using his trousers at an unknown insect in obvious panic. Hilarity ensued. Staff were deployed with swatter and horsefly was dispatched.

I loved my stay here. The manager, Kiyoko, was wonderful and so kind that I felt immediately at home. The garden was fantastic and the meals were simple, healthy and delicious

I stayed at Irumoteso for six nights this past summer, and I cannot imagine staying in any other place on the island (unless, of course, you need to stay clear on the other side).
The absolute highlight is the owner, Kiyoko. She knows the island like the back of her hand, and can help you organize whatever you want. Almost my entire time in Ishigaki (3 nights alone and 3 nights with a friend) were planned by her. We simply told her what we wanted to do, or what kind of day we wanted to have (for example: ‘we want to take it easy on this day’, or ‘it might rain tomorrow, can you give us a plan B if it does?’) and she would outline everything for us. Her English is quite good, so don’t worry if you don’t speak Japanese. She’s very attentive and very easy to talk to. If you don’t have a car, she can help you plan your commute via the sparse Iriomote buses, and can even recommend places to eat. She can also arrange all your tours for you. Many of our tour runners knew her well and have even stayed in her guesthouse over the decades!
It’s especially useful if you’ve been doing most of your research online. While the internet and reviews can give you a good idea of how to plan your day, there’s nothing like a local who can tell you the nitty-gritty details and intricacies, and give you an accurate idea of how long something will take. Plus, she has a near-encyclopedic knowledge of all the ferry and bus timetables.
Kiyoko cooks all the meals; breakfasts are hearty and great for powering you in the morning, and the dinners (should you choose to purchase them) are all satisfying home cooking. Be sure to let her know if you have any food allergies or restrictions (I don’t eat fish, for example), and she will accommodate you.
While the restaurants in the area are nice, I highly recommend taking the meal on long or busy days, so that you don’t have to worry about getting food or choosing a place to eat.
I loved everything and everyone
