Common Space

"Champuru" all together

Ishigaki welcomes people from all over the world.
Regardless of nationality, age, gender or culture, as long as we are in the same place at the same time, everyone can "champuru" – or mix and mingle in the Okinawan dialect. Here, you'll feel a unique sense of togetherness—a shared spirit that brings everyone closer.

"Chura" living

Travelers are naturally drawn to this beautiful living space, crafted with traditional Ishigaki materials and arranged like a vibrant mosaic.
It's a place where conversations spark easily and laughter flows freely among newfound friends - these encounters stay with you long after the journey ends.

Raised tatami space

The Ryukyu tatami mat raised space is perfect for a sanshin (Okinawan banjo) performance or simply unwinding in comfort.
Gather around the table with friends for coffee and conversation, or stretch out with a good book in hand.
Here, island time flows gently, offering healing and calm to the weary traveler.

Shared kitchen

Smiles naturally spread as everyone gathers around handmade island cuisine.
In the evening, squeeze fresh Okinawan limes into a glass of awamori with water and raise a high “Karii!” (Cheers!) Sharing and connecting over food and drink is an everyday scene at Chura Cucule.

After picking up the freshest island vegetables and sashimi from the nearby Yuratiku Market, it's time to get cooking! Let the flavors of Ishigaki inspire your next delicious creation.
