A Thrill of a Trip
Meet new people,
discover new culture,
and spend a heartwarming time at this "chura" – or "beautiful" in Okinawan dialect – guesthouse.
This isn't just a place to stay.
It's a chance to unwind in the laidback freedom of Ishigaki Island.
A friendly
"Okaerinasai!"
Our staff's warm welcome will put you at ease, just as if you were coming back to your own home. We are here to make sure that your stay on Ishigaki is as comfortable as possible, from sharing our recommendations to confirming that your room is clean and tidy on your arrival.
Warm and homely
"Yuntaku space"
Kick back on our Ryukyu tatami and slow down to the island's rhythm.
Enjoy a quiet moment alone, or share laughs with fellow travelers.
"Yuntaku" means "chit-chat" in the Okinawan dialect.
The fun grows with each new guest around.
Natural materials
that age gracefully
All of our furniture and interior decoration is handmade using traditional Ishigaki materials. As a living space, its structure harmonizes lifestyle and nature of the island.
The scent and texture of the materials mellow and soften with age and relieve the fatigue of a long trip.
STAY
Our calm and compact guest rooms are reminiscent of the quiet and dusky seafloor.
Select one of three room types to suit your travel style.
-
TYPE 01Standard
Semi-private room with high ceiling. Spacious enough for changing outfits and spending time inside, this type is recommended for long-stay guests. A little shelf at the bedside is a convenient spot to stow small items.
-
TYPE 02Bunk Room
Compact cabin-type lodging best for those on a budget. Rooms have a mezzanine floor and getting up and down the ladder is part of the fun of staying on the upper bunk.
-
TYPE 03Group
This women's only tatami mat room is the biggest of the three room types and has enough space to comfortably accommodate three people and their luggage. The lockable door is another plus.

We are located about 10 minutes' walk from the Ishigaki Port Terminal, the hub and gateway to the wider Yaeyama Islands. This is a convenient location near the busiest part of Ishigaki, a stone's throw away from restaurants serving up island cuisine with local produce, souvenir shops and supermarkets.
