HOSHINOYA Taketomi Island

Flowers were in bloom, and we enjoyed the sounds of insects and owls, the breezes of Taketomi, and a breathtaking star-filled sky with the Milky Way unlike anything we had ever seen. We walked along white-sand paths from our Room to the lounge and restaurant, feeling close to nature each time—it was a wonderful experience. The pool and lounge were open 24 hours a day and were kept very clean. We had à la carte dinner for three nights, and everything was delicious.

I stayed for 2 nights this time. When the room door is fully open, the garden and the room become one, creating an incredibly comfortable atmosphere. Relaxing on Ryukyu tatami while feeling the natural breeze was absolutely wonderful. The meals were à la carte and reasonably priced, allowing adjustments based on your appetite for the day, which was great. The staff's service was excellent, and I strongly felt that everyone genuinely wanted to make the hotel better. You can experience all of Taketomi's charm at this hotel, so honestly, I felt no need to go out into the village. I will visit again!
