A Wooden Oasis with an Unforgettable Staff This bohemian-style hostel in Ishigaki is a hidden gem! The spacious, all-wood interior blends Japanese tradition with a relaxed beach vibe. The dorms are not only super clean but also surprisingly spacious. The full kitchen is a great bonus, and the location can't be beat – just a short walk from town. But what truly sets this hostel apart is the staff. They are, without exaggeration, the best I've encountered in over 50 hostels worldwide. From 10 AM to 1 PM, it's like witnessing a well-choreographed dance of cleaning and teamwork. Their positive energy is infectious, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere that feels like family. ❤️ Special shoutout to "Sushi," a staff member who went above and beyond. His knowledge of the island's best beaches (he's a local paddleboarder!) was invaluable. Thanks to his tips, I discovered some truly amazing spots. The owner should definitely recognize Sushi's exceptional contribution – he made my trip unforgettable! If you're looking for a hostel that's not just a place to sleep, but a place to connect with amazing people and experience genuine hospitality, look no further.

Beautiful, clean property. Kind and helpful staff. Good kitchen facilities, simple walk to the bus stop for the airport. Many shops, cafés and restaurants within walking distance. Recommended stay for a solo traveller.
