Hostel vacation rentals in Okinawa

It's right in front of the sea. It was easy to communicate because you were in the store in front of you. Good songs and reasonable temperatures were adequate and nice. Quiet and friendly. I am willing to visit again next time.

The host was very kind and I was able to stay with peace of mind! I want to take it easy next time! Thanks for your hospitality! Thank you!

"The guesthouse was amazing; I loved the toilet!" said my ten year old son. For my part, I learned a lot about hospitality staying more than a week at Life is a Journey. It's a simple place and some of the stuff is a little frayed. But it's quality stuff and everything I wanted was right there where I looked for it, right down to the smallest details. Here are a few examples: toothbrush holders on the shelves labeled for each room in the bathroom vanity, washer/dryer, wash cloths especially for face, slippers for all occasions, a bike (!), extra blanket...the list goes on. Truly Manabu and his wife are experts at making people from all over the world feel comfortable. The second day we were already referring to the guesthouse as "home."

Host was very helpful and polite. The location of the accommodation is near most of the attractions of Yomitan Son.

It was a beautiful and nice place as pictured! I wonder if it's cheap... Great job!

I enjoyed my brief stay here. The place was clean, and the bathroom was modern and well-kept. The large window gave a great view of the docks and ships. The on-site laundry machines were really handy, and the communal area was such a nice touch with hammocks, tatami seating, and even musical instruments. The only small issue was that I wasn’t aware about the maintenance and scaffolding beforehand, which worried me at first, but the view was only slightly affected. Overall, it was a great experience, and I’d definitely recommend it to others.

It was a calm and stylish tropical hostel. The building has a stairwell and has an open structure. The room is a private room for privacy. The shower, toilet, and kitchen are shared. Due to the consideration of the staff, it is kept clean. I used it as a couple this time, but I thought it was a hostel that was easy to use even for solo travelers. Also, since the front of the private room is a shared space, I thought we should be considerate of the sound we make in the morning and at night. The staff were friendly and within a reasonable distance. To be honest, it is not recommended for those who want to enjoy in large groups. After the lights go out at night, there are people in the living room who spend a relaxing time. We had a quiet and peaceful time.

Extremely satisfied ^ ^

The best place to stay near city. Walkable to bus stops, the famous stretch Kokusai Street. Super friendly staff especially Ms Melissa.

On top! Thank you to the very friendly and helpful staff!!

Thanks for last minute booking due to the ferries being cancelled that day. It's plain and simple hostel accommodation including shared lavatories, to a very fair price. The street passing by is pretty busy, hence sensitive sleepers could feel disturbed. Not an issue for myself though.

This guest house is great! It is conveniently located near the bus terminal, the ferry port, shops, restaurants, etc. The interior is cute and clean and the staff are super welcoming and friendly. It's a wonderful place to meet new people and the atmosphere is warm. Please do not hesitate to stay here when visiting Ishigaki.

very clean and convenient place.

It is good for those who want to be gentle because you can spend time with minimal communication.

Very good place for little money. A lot of company. Very centrally located top location

it was a great stay for 2 nights!! the hosts were incredibly nice and helpful. the place is very comfortable and the location is great as well.

perfect place, good price, good people, met really great people

The location of the place is great, lots of restaurants to eat around, it’s near the bus terminal if you want to visit the island and it’s near the port if you want to visit islands nearby. It’s close to the center if you want to buy some souvenirs. The hotel itself is very clean, the hosts are very friendly, even though not all of them speak english you always find ways to communicate. The 3 things I could point out are : 1- that (as announced) the place is a bit difficult to find, as you can access it through a dark, more or less hidden alley (especially if you get there after sunset) 2- it’s on the 3rd floor without a lift 3- it is a bit noisy with people making noise after 11pm and before 6am, but that cannot really be helped…

It was a great and convenient if you’re traveling alone as a women. The staffs were very friendly and it is exactly as described! They even did a little new year party for the guests which was amazing. Thank you and will visit again if there’s an opportunity!
