Pension Iriomote

The owner is a lovely man who will go out his way to recommend places to eat and take you / pick you up which is helpful. Great price on car rental too. We stayed an extra night because of the typhoon which wasn’t a bad thing at all! Yummy home cooked breakfast, nice lounge to hang out in with fast WiFi and the cutest little tortoises in the garden. Easy walk to a gorgeous beach and next door to traditional and great lunch place. Can walk to Uehara port along the beach or road easily but not with luggage.

Just an FYI we didn’t get a lift from ferry but this is offered for free when you get your tickets in Ishigaki port so no real issue.

The owner couldn’t have been more helpful with our plans and sorting things for us, the location is really great near a beautiful beach, restaurants, and also a jungle river to explore by boat.

Nice room with beautiful garden, really nice home made breakfast. Owner is really helpful and nice

A quiet relaxing atmosphere centred around a colourful, palm-fringed garden. The proprietor (Ito-san) was most welcoming and offered transport for local outings and made bookings for two excellent, atmospheric restaurants. Urauchi river cruise/walk is close, so also is Hoshinosuna (starsand) beach, with easy fish-viewing even without snorkelling. Ito-san serves a tasty, well-presented breakfast by the garden.

Hot water is not available in the mornings. Access to a refrigerator for cool water would be useful.

Very friendly owner. Great breakfast. Prepared with much love
