I liked everything, however at night there could be big spiders outside. You'll Need a car or a motorbike in order to move around, there are few restaurants in the neighborhood (usually they close early around 9 pm). The supermarket Is in the city (around 30 Min by car)

The location with a private beach! Beautiful. Moreover It was well kept, the kitchen was very well equipped.

Great place to stay on Ishigaki island. Well-organized pick up and drop off to the airport was helpful. Hosts are extremely helpful. Beach just a few minutes so you can walk for morning swim or sunset. I recommend to rent a car with hosts directly.

Quite a drive to the nearest shops but that was part of the charm. We did a big shop at the MaxValu supermarket in the city and cooked mostly for ourselves. Always good to get well away from Ishigaki City.

We loved the little villa with sea and goat view. The beach was so near and usually deserted. Crystal clear water, shells and coral to marvel at. The rural quiet location was what we love. Car hire essential and provided by our hosts Nobu and Naoko. We were met at the airport and dropped off there - much easier and cheaper than other car hire offers. The friendliest stress free airport I have ever experienced.

Quiet, comfortable and clean houses at Nosoko with sea view. You can walk to the beach and watch sunset from there. Perfect for those that want to stay a bit far from the town and relax. Convenient location around 20 minute drive from the airport. You will need a car to move around.

We had a wonderful stay at Beach Village Nosoko! From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed—picked up at the airport and later dropped off at Ishigaki Port, which made everything incredibly easy. The property is beautiful and peaceful, tucked away in a more remote part of the island that feels like a true escape. We rented a car through them, which gave us the freedom to explore nearby cafes and local restaurants—each stop was a memorable experience, with kind-hearted owners and genuinely warm interactions. In the evening, we enjoyed a relaxed BBQ under the stars, and during the day, we made use of the snorkel gear they provided to explore the nearby beaches. What truly made our stay special were the amazing owners, who go above and beyond to make you feel at home

The accommodation was very clean and while very rural, the area is beautiful and you can walk to a beach in one minute from your door. The owners were very friendly and helpful, and we even had some locally grown bananas waiting for us when we returned after a day out. We took advantage of the offer of direct car hire, which meant that we were picked up and taken back to the airport. This was very convenient. The kitchen is small, with only one hot plate, but it was sufficient for easy breakfasts. The location is convenient for snorkelling spots like Yonehara beach, as well as the very beautiful Kabira Bay. The only downside is that it’s 30mins drive from the nearest supermarket, so I’d advise that you stock up to save repeated trips.

It would have been nice if the swimming pool had been available, but I appreciate that it is early in the season.

Really great host and very good accommodation. West coast definitely to be recommended.

Best to stock up with provisions in Ishigaki City. Plan ahead.

We stayed for over a week and loved it. The modest beach house was comfortable. We loved the north shore of Ishigaki. The kitchen was small but functional. The washing machine was an added bonus. Clean towels everyday. The WIFI worked fine in the unit. We enjoyed sitting by the pool at the end of the day. We rented a car and were provided with pickup and drop-off. We also rented snorkel gear for nominal price. All in all a great option for the north shore.

Nothing. Thank you for everything.

If we could, we would have given more than 10. Thank you Nobu San for everything. The japonese barbecue by the sunset was amazing.

It’s a little old generally, but clean and tidy enough to be comfortable there. There are no grocery stores or even convenience stores around, so if you plan to cook you need to drive to the downtown for shopping. There are a couple of cafes within walking distance (including one in the main building of the property, open for lunch and dinner hours), but we haven’t tried them.

Quiet and peaceful location, beach nearby and pool right next to the apartment. I liked the terrace attached to the house, you can sit and enjoy a cup of coffee listening to the sound of birds singing around. All kitchen appliances are available.

The rooms were very comfortable ! High ceilings. Great air conditioning.

Stayed in July 2024

Nothing to complain. The only minor inconvenience for us was the absence of a nearby grocery store. However, shopping could easily be done in the main city and its surroundings going by a rental car.

A beautiful and at the same time a very quiet location (2 min walk to the beach). Ideal for those who value privacy. Our room had a terrace, where we could dine and enjoy an amazing view of the sea. The accommodation was well-equipped with everything one needs, including a washing machine, which proved especially convenient after returning from the beach. The owners were very friendly and helpful. Highly recommended.

Clean complete place including a nice shower, swimming pool with perfect view, beautiful beach and all you need for a perfect holiday

No wifi in the room. We had to go to the owners’ house for that. Also not much in the way of (open) restaurants… we walked 2.4km twice to one, which was worth it!

Very relaxed, isolated village. Clean rooms with good kitchen. The owners were very nice and kind. The beach was absolutely trashed when we arrived but we cleaned up 100m with owners and it was pleasant for swimming and beautiful sunsets

This isn’t a negative, but hot tub in the description does not mean Jacuzzi, rather a Japanese soaking tub in the bathroom.

Our hosts were amazing and very helpful. Everything one could think of was provided for bathing, cooking, relaxing, laundry. Thoughtful touches included fresh flowers from the garden on the table. Very sweet! It was private and quiet with plenty of room. The added convenience of renting a car, with pickup and drop off was terrific! Especially loved the private outdoor shower!

It was very dark at night and walking to the villa required a flashlight.

It was a perfect tropical paradise setting. The villa was super comfortable and functional, and the owners were delightful- very friendly and welcoming.

Nothing. I would definitely come again.

Well equipped and in a delightful setting. The sandy beach was very close and often empty.

It was a bit out of the way. But we didn't mind that. Best snorkeling on the island a 10 min drive. And an excellent restaurant a mile away.

The largest room of our 4 weeks in Japan. And we stayed in some superior 3 star places!

Yonehara beach reef is only swimmable at high tides (before 11 am and after 4 on when I staid). Other local beaches are also very shallow at not really swimmable most of the day (at low tides). Ishigaki turned out to be quite a small place, not much to see or do, except taking ferry to other small islands to see other reefs/ jungles. For that it is better to stay the city close to the port. Also you can truly swim on this

Big comfortable house with everything working, Yonehara beach with a reef - National park - with hips of fish you can swim from the beach, no currents or waves, in 8 minute drives from the house. Helpful owners who helped me communicate with car rental in Japanese when me car had troubles.

Private and chill location. Super mellow and great to unwind. Lovely pool and spectacular beach for walking and swimming. Sea kayaks were easy to get and super fun. You could paddle to the mangrove community within 45 minutes - Absolutely recommend that! The BBQ set was great for dinner. The restaurant tacos, pizza, chorizo, and buffalo wings were excellent.

Amazing place. We had the white villa with seaview. Every morning we woke up with the beautiful view. The place is absolutely huge and nature all around. Trees, lizards, toads, birds. Comfy beds. A breathtaking beach within a 1 minute stroll. The north side of the island is the most picturesque so this is where you want to be. A rental car is an absolute must when staying here. The owners are incredibly sweet and kind. We really loved it here, thanks so much! 10/10!

Nothing,for me all was good.

The staff were very kind. The closest beach is amazing and most of the time nobody was there. Also, to have a swimming pool was very refreshing.
