Forte (Hachijojima)

Great location, and the owner was so kind, almost too kind!!! Inside, the room was clean, though it looked a bit different from the outside lol. Bring your own skincare products. They had everything else, including shampoo, conditioner, body soap, toothbrushes, cutlery, and seasonings.

The owner was full of hospitality and had a wonderful personality. We stayed two nights as our base for a three-day trip. The outside looked a little dated, which surprised us, but everything inside was spotless, including the room, bed, and shower. We were really satisfied. Having several bath towels and hand towels available was handy. Souvenir shops and izakayas were also within walking distance.

I was traveling alone without a car, so the free airport transfer was a big help. The pickup time was flexible, too. There are several restaurants and other amenities within walking distance, which makes the location really convenient. My room was spacious and spotlessly clean. I liked having a bidet toilet in the shower room, and the shampoo and conditioner were Je l'aime, with Nivea body soap.

The building looks old, and the hotel entrance is at the back on the second floor. Inside, though, it's spacious and clean. The heated toilet seat was great. The shower is fairly roomy, gets hot quickly, and has a wide choice of shampoos. The refrigerator, sink, air conditioning, and TV all worked without any problems. There are no razors or nearby vending machines, so bring your own if you need them. Shuttle service is available too.
