Very clean with all the comfort, the staff is super nice and happy to help with everything. The position is strategic if you rent a car, not too far from the city to go out for dinner and near the main beaches. There’s also a Family Mart in 5 min by car.

N/A - apart from the restaurants in the nearby hotel, there aren’t any eateries in walking distance which I knew about so it wasn’t a problem.

Spacious and clean room, also quiet location. It’s on top of the hill and had a great view of the ocean. Walking distance to Fusaki beach for swim.

The soundproofing of the rooms were weak so when some children kept running up and down the stairs, I could hear from my room and it is quite annoying.

Staff were helpful, location slightly located out of city but perfect that it’s quiet. Non issue since I already knew beforehand.

It was a little way out of the town - only 10 - 15 minutes by car. That was apparent when I booked it, but it did mean everything was a car ride.

The room is large and comfortable with a counter for drink/light snack breakfast preparation. I think they did not offer breakfast or else I did not take it. But there was a kettle in the room and a microwave. They also had a small guest laundry which was helpful. The bed was very comfortable. They offered a Barbecue in the evenings which certainly smelled good but I did not try. They seemed very young family friendly with lots of baby/toddler stuff on the communal hall that the upstairs bedrooms were off. The Nepalese staff spoke excellent English, the owner very friendly and helpful. Note Google maps would send me back to the hotel by a narrow a circuitous route.

I would have loved a coffee shop or seating area to sit out and enjoy however there may have actually been one and I missed it

The location was out of the town however there was a large resort in walking distance. We found the owner so welcoming going above normal service to make sure we were comfortable. We loved that there were animals ( bunnies , ducks , small owl and horse. The room size and bathroom set up were very large and worked well for our family

I would recommend renting a car to stay here. The taxi from the airport was a bit pricey and there are not any stores/restaurants that are reasonably walkable. With that being said we liked the privacy and enjoyed being away from the crowds.

It is the cutest hotel. They have sweet little animals to welcome guests inside. The staff is amazing, especially Reika. She went out of her way to make us feel very welcome. The rooms are very much beach style with Japanese amenities including a heated bathroom floor and full size fridge. The beach is a beautiful 5 minute walk away. The room was very clean, the beds were comfortable, and the shower had amazing hot water with great pressure.

The hotel is very nice and comfy with a great location (10 min walking distance from a beautiful beach with all the facilities you need - changing room, shower, etc). The staff is really nice and helpful and it was a pleasure having conversation with them. Once again, I would like to thank them for their kindness and availability. We had a so pleasant and great stay You should also try the BBQ dinner :) !

Reika and staff were amazing. Exceptionally kind and helpful. They would even go out of their ways to help us reserve certain restaurants / activities in short notice (I found out that they drove to the city to try to reserve one particularly famous restaurant when it didn't take phone calls). English is not an issue which was also great. Room / facility was very clean and home-like. Everything was well organized. Location is right next to the Fusaki Beach which boasts a great sunset scenery, and quite close to Ishigaki port / city where you can enjoy many restaurants and local activities. Small things like renting Okinawa-style clothes for kids and snorkeling gear for free was also a plus. And the kids loved playing with the small animals (owl, bunnies, ducks, parrots, etc.). Definitely our hotel of choice next time we visit Ishigaki.

It was further from town that I'd like.

Large room plenty of space.

We would have had a great view of the ocean from our room - if it hadn't been for the tainted windows. While the fridge is convenient to have, it is also right next to the beds and sometimes very noisy at night. And since they ask you never to open the windows because of the high humidity, you don't really get to see the view. First thing we did was get rid of the countless airfresheners that gave the room a truly headache-inducing smell. Terrible pillows. While the animals are cute (the parrot and the owl in particular), we have our concerns about the way they are being kept.

Spacious and clean rooms. A large fridge and a mirowave in the room. Balcony with a beautiful view (see below though). While the location is a bit remote, it is a good base to explore the island from if one has a rental car (absolutely required when visiting the island). Also, since it is outside of the main town, the view of the stars is breathtaking.

There’s a mould problem here, the staff warned us on arrival and at the time we didn’t mind, but in hindsight I wish we hadn’t have stayed as all my clothes not smell of mould. The animals also seem like a gimmick, they’re usually just in small cages in the lobby.

The staff were really friendly and it was in a nice location.

Stayed in November 2024

I read in previous comments that "due to the high humidity" there is a mold smell in the rooms. Unfortunately, in reality it was so strong that I could not stay in the hotel and had to book another place. It costed quite a lot as I booked on a very short notice. I don't think it is only humidity to blame as my new hotel was perfectly fine. Must be some kind of ventilation design fault. Lost money because it was too late to cancel Little Mermaid booking.

New facility and a good view.

We were attracted by the fact that this hotel has animals and that the reviews were positive. Regarding the animals, we don’t understand the positive reviews. For example: the rabbits, they have terribly small enclosures and only have food and drink and a corner to do their business, there is nothing else in their enclosures. Same goes for the parakeets. The owl has 1 stick to sit on and is attached to a string with its leg. If you care about the welfare of animals, I do not recommend this hotel.

The rooms are very spacious.

No pickup from airport although it was mentioned as an option on booking. We needed to take a bus into town and wait for a while to get another bus. Due to bus schedule we arrived at 14 but check-in is from 15. They had been fully booked but there was no flexibility and our room was not ready. There is no mountain view nor sea view. For the price and the remote location, you'll expect some leisure options, some space to relax and read a book like a garden, swimming pool or a common area. Nothing for kids either. Outside: You're in the parking lot. I personally don't like seeing an owl on a string, but otherwise they are good for their animals.

Having your own transportation is recommended. There is a busstop nearby but there are only a few busses each day, so you need a cab at night to get back to the hotel from out of town (~1800Y). The hotel doesn't offer breakfast and has limited offer for dinner (nice btw). Friendly thoughtful staff, always around, working hard. Very clean and spacious rooms. There's a nice roof terrace to go stargazing when it's a clear night.
