Toyoko Inn Okinawa Ishigaki jima

The room was decent, and the service was friendly. It's a 15-minute walk to the pier, which can be tiring with large luggage. Breakfast was below standard, though it was included in the price. This is a good place to stay if you're joining a local tour, since many tours meet here.

The shower had really good pressure, and having breakfast and coffee included was appreciated. It was very quiet and quite clean. The bed wasn't especially comfortable, though the pillows were good. The ferry and bus terminal are about a 10-15 minute walk away, and I think there's a Family Mart within five minutes on foot.

The room was clean and comfortable, though it had a hard floor rather than carpet and no closet. Bathroom items were available either in the room or in the lobby. We stayed two nights in a Twin Room, and the free breakfast and parking made it good value. Breakfast was fine, with salad and a few dishes, but some items weren't replenished close to closing, so it's better to go early. The location works well if you're driving, but it's a bit of a walk from the ferry and bus terminal. You can save 300 Yen by skipping daily cleaning. We'd recommend it to young couples or budget travellers.

The front desk was helpful and managed to arrange marine sports for me at short notice. I found both the room and its cleaning very good, and the rooms are larger than comparable ones. Mine had a nice harbor view, as do even the single rooms, though pyjamas aren't provided. I stayed from July 5-10, 2017, at this two-star hotel near the Oshigaki port. I drove from the Oshigaki airport, which took about 30 minutes. Check-in starts at 4:00pm. You can leave your luggage earlier, and an earlier check-in may be possible if you pay to become a member. Breakfast is free. I ate there five times and the menu repeated only once, with plenty of food, soup, and drinks. If you choose to have your room cleaned, you can't return during the cleaning period. If you skip it, they provide fresh towels, new toothbrushes, and tea bags. There are two free carparks, with space for about 30 cars, but they fill up after dark. With two entry and exit points, late arrivals can end up blocking an entrance. It's great value for the money, and there isn't a nearby substitute, so it's always full.
