Around Kerama Airport × Stays Popular For SunsetsHighly rated Hotel·Ryokan for Onsen and bath

We were fortunate to have good weather. The previous weekend had a typhoon, and it looked like the following weekend would as well. During the day, we crossed by city bike from Aka Island to Geruma Island and then to Gaiji Island, and after all that effort, we were able to relax from the evening onward. The Room was clean. Dinner on the terrace overlooking the beautiful sea right in front of us was delicious. It must be unique to this island that deer came strolling into the garden.

In the morning, we took the ferry from Aka Island. After doing SUP in the morning, we stopped by to leave our luggage. There was still time before check-in, but they kindly let us change clothes in our Room. We enjoyed riding a bike in the afternoon. It was great. We were looking forward to dinner at the Hotel, but we were informed a week in advance that it wouldn’t be available. I wish we had known that when making the Reservation.

I stayed for one night in August. It’s a container house, but it’s comfortable inside with air conditioning, a refrigerator, a microwave, and a full unit bath. Because it’s a container, footsteps echoed quite a bit. Yuhina Beach is nearby, and the sunset is very beautiful. The staff were very kind; I asked to change the pickup time to the port on the day of arrival, and they happily accommodated my request. They also run a diving shop, so I’d like to try diving next time.

I visited in early spring and early summer before, but this was my first time staying during midsummer. Despite expecting large crowds, the Hotel staff's prompt responses and thoughtful care allowed me to enjoy a relaxing stay without any issues. The beach was relatively crowded, but I could leisurely enjoy snorkeling and swimming in the morning or evening. The restaurant service and meal quality were consistently excellent, offering a wide variety of Japanese-Western fusion dishes that changed daily. The marine services were also well-equipped, allowing me to enjoy various sports within the Hotel premises. I would definitely like to visit again!

The owner is a woman, and many of the staff are women as well, so female guests can feel at ease. The breakfast and dinner prices at arrival were different from what they were at the time of Reservation, so it seems the rates had been raised without notice. The futon bedding is quite simple, so opinions may vary. Google Reviews can be a bit harsh, but the Accommodation staff were kind, everything was kept very clean, and it felt like staying at a cozy countryside guesthouse—overall comfortable enough. There were guests from many countries, but everyone was quiet and well-mannered. You can’t see the sea from the Accommodation, but Aharen Beach is only a 2–3 minute walk away.
