A perfect blend of traditional Japanese Ryokan charm and modern simplicity! The staff were incredibly friendly, and the meals were delicious. I would love to visit again.

Although it was very close to the Higashi Chaya District, it was in a quiet location where we could forget the bustle of the area. The Room had beautiful vermilion walls, and while the building is old, there were no inconveniences. Right after arriving, we were served Yoshihashi’s fresh Japanese confectionery and matcha, which were absolutely delicious. The meals were truly worthy of a high-end restaurant—each dish had deep, wonderful flavor, and the tableware was dazzling yet refined, making it a real pleasure. Breakfast also offered an impressive variety and was delicious; I was moved from the morning by the thick grilled flounder and jibuni. The proprietress and everyone at the Ryokan were courteous, and we could really feel its long-established tradition in a good way.

The natural Biwamasu trout, proof of its orange color from feasting on plenty of shrimp! It's incredibly delicious!! Served as sashimi, grilled, fried, and more in generous portions. Living in the Kanto region makes it hard to visit often, but next time I’d love to try the eel hot pot (Jun-Jun). Thank you so much to everyone at the accommodation for your hospitality.

We visited as a family with our 0-year-old, and it was a comfortable Accommodation to stay in. The staff were kind to our child and greeted us with warm smiles, which we truly appreciated. The food was delicious and made us feel pampered. The ocean view from the Room was beautiful, and I’m glad this was the place for our baby’s first stay at a Ryokan and first time seeing the sea. We’d love to visit again when our child is older.

I stayed here with my elderly mother, and she was very satisfied because it was so comfortable. We were lucky with the weather, so relaxing in the Room while looking out at the blue ocean with a panoramic view was the best. There were no amenities like cleansing oil or face wash, but I felt that items such as toothbrushes were good quality and well provided. The bed in particular was very comfortable, and my back felt better when I woke up. We could also use separate bedrooms, which made it very relaxing. This time we stayed for two nights, but my mother and I are saying that next time we’d like to stay for about a week! Because my mother has trouble walking, it would have been 120 points if there had been a chair in the bathroom. As for the “cemetery view” mentioned in other Reviews, we were on the 4th floor so it didn’t bother me at all. Self check-in and check-out were easy and convenient. It has become one of the villas I’d like to visit again. Thank you.

I stayed here for a solo getaway. In a quiet setting, I soaked in the Onsen, relaxed in the massage chair, and enjoyed meals full of creative touches—making it a trip with outstanding hospitality. It has become an unforgettable Accommodation for me. Thank you.

We stayed here with our two children on the way back from Kashiwajima. The staff’s explanations were very thorough, the meals were delicious and more than we could finish, and the Facility was clean—our kids were thrilled with the bunk beds. The nearby Onsen in the adjoining facility was also excellent, and we appreciated receiving stylish amenities. Occasionally small ants came in, but that seems unavoidable with glamping. We’d love to stay again.

Following last year’s stay, I loved the large public bath, the meals, and the Room here, so I came back again. The Onsen temperature is gentle on sunburned skin and feels incredibly relaxing—I ended up soaking four times this trip! And the dinner portions—everything was delicious, with a very generous serving per person, so I was completely satisfied. The Room has been renovated and is beautifully clean. I also personally love the view from the Room. The seaside in front of the Hotel is a great place for a morning walk.

In 2025, I visited Okinawa four times and stayed at different condo vacation rentals each time. However, my stay at Doka Doka was the best, so I decided to return here for my year-end visit. During this second stay, I noticed various thoughtful touches from the perspective of guests that I hadn't realized during my first visit. It made me feel that this place is the perfect choice for future stays. While many "Instagrammable Rooms" are introduced all over Okinawa, I've often felt they lack consideration for actual guest needs when staying there. This includes kitchen facilities, cooking utensils, bathrooms, or even how doors open and close—small details but noticeable nonetheless. It seems like those managing such facilities may not have actually stayed in their own rooms themselves. On the other hand, it feels like whoever designed this place considered everything from a personal user’s perspective because nothing is lacking here. (The bathroom doesn't have a reheating function for baths; hence my rating of 4 stars in that regard—but it's not something I'd ask to be changed as it’s perfectly fine as is.) It may not be highly "Instagrammable," but it offers more than enough comfort if your goal is to live like a local during your stay. The beautiful Yachimun pottery provided adds an extra touch of joy when preparing meals in the kitchen. The café breakfast experience was also wonderful—staff were very kind and accommodating with generous portions served. The scenery was stunning while the gentle music and atmosphere inside uplifted our morning mood beautifully. I’m already looking forward to visiting again next time! Thank you very much!

The Hotel is within walking distance of Oshidomari Terminal. Breakfast and dinner were served individually, so we could enjoy our meals at a relaxed pace. The food was delicious, including sea urchin, salmon roe, sashimi, and hokke. All the front desk staff were kind, and even though we came from Rebun Island, they also arranged Shuttle Service to the airport on our departure day. The service was courteous and attentive.

Overall, it was excellent for this type of Accommodation. Dinner was a bit more than we could finish, but the seafood was very good. However, it was disappointing that the crab had very little meat.

It was clean, and the living space was just the right size. The rate was comparable to a Business Hotel, so I decided to stay without hesitation. Like a condominium, it has a kitchen area, a washing machine, and separate bath and toilet facilities, so I felt it would be convenient even for long-term stays. I would like to use it again.

I love the ocean and was looking for a Resort Hotel where I could truly relax on my first day off in a while. This Hotel is in an amazing location with the blue Pacific Ocean stretching out right in front of you. Spending time in a beautifully furnished Room—lying back on the fluffy, spacious canopy bed, listening to the waves at leisure, and watching the sparkling sunrise—was pure luxury and bliss. The kind Hotel staff also shared great local food recommendations in Chikura and suggested places to visit—I’m truly grateful. Thank you so much! I will definitely be back!

Before visiting Himakajima, I researched accommodations and found that the reviews were not very favorable, so my expectations were low. However, the staff at the accommodation were all incredibly hospitable, providing exceptional service throughout my stay. While it was not an onsen, the large public bath was spacious and relaxing, offering a similar experience with views of Ise Bay and Mikawa Bay. The sunset from the room was extraordinary—a scene reminiscent of a novel's opening line describing "a magnificent twilight," visible across the peninsula. The only disappointment was hearing that octopus catches have been poor recently. I look forward to visiting again when I have another opportunity.

I usually don't write reviews for accommodations, but this trip was truly unforgettable, so I decided to share my experience. Around 12:20 AM, there was an unexpected power outage. While waiting for the power to be restored, it became inconvenient (cold and unable to flush the toilet), so I filed a complaint around 1:00 AM. It turned out that the entire area was affected by the outage and nothing could be done about it. I deeply regret filing a complaint under such circumstances. The power was restored around 3:00 AM, and I can only imagine how hard it must have been for the staff during that time. Looking outside, I saw people in the area working together to address the situation—it warmed my heart. The whole community came together as one team; it was truly remarkable and made me feel ashamed of my earlier complaint. Additionally, lanterns were placed in hallways without us even noticing when they were set up—this thoughtful response left me deeply moved. On another note, both dinner and breakfast were outstanding! Having traveled extensively and stayed at various accommodations before, this one stands out as exceptional (the cost-performance ratio is amazing; it's a level of service unimaginable on Honshu). Compared to other famous seafood regions like Izu, Ishikawa, Boso Peninsula, Ehime, Miyagi, Akita... even Hokkaido—this place ranks No.1 for me! The photos of meals are just a glimpse—they truly exceeded expectations. Due to unforeseen circumstances on that day requiring me to be in Hakata City by 8:00 PM., we consulted with staff who kindly adjusted our dinner start time earlier despite short notice and ensured quick service during our meal—I am extremely grateful. One minor disappointment would be with the bathing facility setup—I had booked a standard room but regretted not choosing a suite instead after seeing what they offered later on-site; if shown beforehand upon arrival perhaps would've upgraded immediately! Overall though—from handling unexpected events like outages or accommodating special requests regarding dining arrangements—this trip has been extraordinary beyond words thanks largely due efforts from your wonderful team members whom deserve heartfelt gratitude making sure everything went smoothly leaving lasting impression forever cherished memory indeed! If ratings allowed higher than five stars surely would give them here since overall experience surpasses expectations entirely deserving perfect score across board absolutely phenomenal stay thank-you again please continue providing such excellent hospitality always!

Once again, I had a relaxing and comforting stay. The view from the large window, the warm personality of the host, and the thoughtful details in the room make this accommodation flawless. I travel to Okinawa just to spend time here. Thank you very much.

The view, Facilities, location, and cleanliness were all excellent. We really appreciated the thoughtful items prepared in the Room—it felt very considerate. Since we did a workcation, it was also great that housekeeping didn’t come in and there was a vacuum; we could clean ourselves whenever we wanted without worrying about timing. Things we were glad to have: - Vacuum cleaner - Rice cooker - Electric kettle - Washing machine, dryer, detergent - Plastic wrap - Dish soap and sponge - Separate trash bins for sorting and extra plastic bags - A sufficiently large refrigerator - Microwave - Dishes, cutlery, pots, frying pan, scissors, knife, cutting board, dish rack/drainer basket, spatula/turner, ladle, whisker/frother tool?, bottle opener (etc.) - Shampoo, conditioner, body soap - Power outlet by the bed - Plenty of outlets overall - Plenty of hangers Location It’s easy to get here by route bus from Haneda Airport or Kokusai-dori—get off at Ihe Bus Stop and it’s right there. You can also take the shuttle bus from the nearby Radiant Hotel. It’s a perfect walking distance to American Village; the route is along the seaside with clean paved paths so it feels great. There’s a large drugstore nearby as well as FamilyMart and a bakery; if you walk a bit farther you’ll find AEON and San-Ae supermarkets and cafés open from around 7 a.m. There’s also a car rental shop within walking distance—so we took the bus from Naha Airport and only rented a car when going on longer trips. View Because we spent a lot of time in the Room for our workcation, we insisted on an ocean-view Room on a high floor. That was absolutely the right choice. The main view is of the port area. You can see Chatan fireworks when they go off. Cleanliness Everything was very clean—including the kitchen and all water areas—so we could use them comfortably throughout our stay. Next time I’d love to visit with my whole family. I’d be happy if there were a repeat guest discount—and it would be even better if there were an option for one flat rate per room as well.

The sauna was absolutely amazing. We could set it to over 100°C, and it was wonderfully hot! Cooling down properly in the cold plunge and then relaxing outside while looking up at the starry sky felt truly luxurious. At this riverside villa, we were able to enjoy a special time for just the two of us without sensing anyone else around. When we listened closely, we could hear animals and insects, and even the distant sound of a passing train—it was such a calm and luxurious experience. The Room was clean, and the design was inspiring! The owner was a wonderful person. We had a brief chat as we were leaving, and their warm personality made us feel once again that we were truly glad we stayed here. We would love to visit again. Thank you so much!!

We stayed as a family of three. The spaciousness of the facility was more surprising than we imagined. Since we traveled around various places from Wakkanai, the washing machine was a great help. We prepared dinner with ingredients purchased in Kitami. We used the bath and breakfast services at Kitakobushi. It was nice to spend a quiet weekend. The check-in process was a bit troublesome, and we struggled because the entrance wouldn't open even when we needed to use the restroom. It felt easier to check in at Kitakobushi. We've experienced renting an entire building a few times, but Lantern Shiretoko offered a wonderful space. Thank you for the great experience.

Recently, I stayed at GIFTHOUSE Sunomiya with my beloved dog. The Room was a private villa, offering an exceptional sense of privacy. We could relax without worrying about others and truly felt rejuvenated. The highlight was the wood-burning barrel sauna in the villa's courtyard. My partner and I took turns enjoying the sauna, followed by resting in the outdoor space surrounded by nature. The feeling of unwinding amidst greenery was incredibly refreshing. At night, we relaxed under a starry sky—a luxury you can't experience in everyday life. There was also a dog run where our dog could run freely and seemed to have so much fun. It was great to let our pet play in a completely private space. The villa itself was spacious with a fully equipped kitchen and appliances, making it easy to cook meals. We enjoyed BBQs and leisurely breakfasts on the terrace while taking in the view of greenery through the large living room windows—such a lovely touch! Access from the city center wasn't too far either; it took about 90 minutes by car, which added to its appeal. The cost per person was around 30,000 yen, but considering this level of luxury, it felt worth every penny. I’d love to visit again for special occasions or relaxing weekend trips with my pet! Thank you!!
