THE UBUFURU ISHIGAKI

The Hotel we chose for our first trip to Ishigaki Island Everyone was surprised by how spacious the Room was—it’s a space that makes you think, “Is this what an ideal villa stay feels like?” Since our goal for this trip was simply to relax, choosing UBUFURU was absolutely the right decision. Because they don’t accommodate many guests, we were able to spend quiet, fulfilling time there. Breakfast didn’t have a huge number of items, but that actually let us savor each one carefully. Having a washing machine in the Room made it easy to do laundry at our own pace, and we realized it quietly adds a lot of comfort to the trip. If I had to mention an area for improvement: I would have liked the sauna temperature to be a bit higher. The cold plunge temperature and the outdoor relaxation setup were excellent, so improving this point would make guests even happier! Thank you as well for preparing a BBQ dinner on short notice on our second day. Being able to eat at our own pace with family while looking out at the ocean became a wonderful memory. As mentioned in other Reviews, be careful if you do it in the Room—smells will linger no matter what—so I recommend doing it on the balcony instead. All of the staff maintained just the right distance without being intrusive, while still responding properly whenever we needed something. Thank you very much!

We arrived a little early (before check-in), but we were able to wait in the lounge using our Diamond benefit credit. I was happy to find my favorite Blue Seal ice cream there.The Room was spacious and very relaxing. Having two sinks and a washing machine was really convenient. Breakfast was great—the pancakes were fluffy and delicious. The breakfast staff greeted us with warm smiles, so we could enjoy our meal at a leisurely pace.On the second day of our stay, the rainy season in Okinawa ended right on time, and the ocean view from the window was beautiful. In the evening, we took a short walk around the Hotel. The sea was very close, and the sunset was stunning. After dark, we also got to see a huge full moon—it made for an unforgettable trip to Ishigaki.The calm atmosphere of this Hotel suited us perfectly, and we were able to spend truly relaxing time here.We would love to stay again next year.
