Independent Naminoue hotels

"Stunning. Really special place where we felt very well looked after. The staff were very attentive, and very helpful organising excursions. The particular highlight was canoeing along the mangrove forests. The houses themselves are incredibly special, and a wonderful place to relax "

"The staff were very pleasant and helpful. The room was very clean. Lovely view of ocean and pool from room. We enjoyed our stay immensely. "

"Breakfast was made with care, inn keeper communicative and kind. Wonderful hospitality. "

"Found ants inside the drawer with the PJ and on the floor of tatami. Also over populated crows that attack the hawk who tries to get them away. We could not enjoy the balcony without the crow being out there on the rail"

"Fusaki was amazing and we will most certainly return. "

"A really lovely homestay, significantly different to how we normally travel, but a real pleasure. I normally don’t eat breakfast but made sure I enjoyed the Okinawan breakfast in the garden every day between 8-9am. Not to everyone’s taste, but delicious to me. It’s close to a bus route that goes into Ishigaki town and north to Kabira Bay. Buses aren’t frequent but are on time and taxis are available too. "

"Quaint little property where you can pet rabbits, an owl, and a parrot. The rooms are large and the staff are courteous and helpful. Laundry facilities on property, 300 yen to wash and 30 minutes of drying time is 100yen. They also provide free laundry soap. There are so places within walking distance, but I would recommend getting a rental car to see more of the island. The staff can help you with finding things to go see and do. "

"I wish I could give this stay more than five stars! The owner and his wife went out of their way to make sure my every need was taken care of. Be aware there are two ferries from Ishigaki, and only one has a shuttle to the hotel. If you’re going to rent a car book it early, but the island is very doable without a car as long as you go with the flow. The hotel is close to the river ferry which takes you to waterfall hike. And there are many local tours for paddle boarding, canoeing into the mangroves, snorkeling, etc. The sunsets at the hotel are beautiful and there are hammocks on the roof for stargazing. The food was wonderful as well! Thank you for a wonderful, unforgettable stay!!"

"My family and I had a good time in Vivoviva. The front desk lady was helpful. She helped us to call the restaurant for booking. The room is spacious. I love the balcony. The sea view is gorgeous! At night, we can see stars around us. We had good sleeping there. "
