Top Arakawa Hotel Reviews

Fusaki Beach Resort Hotel & Villas

10/10 Excellent

"Ocean views from higher floors were worth the price. Breakfast was both Japanese and Western buffet and were terrific. Many water sport options. Exercise room and public baths were very good."

The Beach Terrace Hotel AO Ishigaki

10/10 Excellent

"This is a small scale luxury property with the kindest and most attentive staff. The hotel only has 6 rooms, so you will feel like you have the whole place to yourself. The food was incredible!! The beach you have access to is unmatched, with very calm waters. It might as well be a pool. There is onsite parking and the rooms are very large and air conditioned. I 100% recommend."

palmvilla ishigakijima karei

8/10 Good

"A quaint and comfortable property. The house and surrounding property were pleasant with good outdoor amenities (deck, tables, chairs, etc). There was a minor hiccup with access when I arrived, but it was quickly resolved. Some additional cooking pots would have been nice as only frying pans were available for the stove which limited my cooking options. Overall a good property and a positive experience."

Hali Hali House

10/10 Excellent

"Very homey bed and breakfast run by the sweetest couple. Very good location - minutes walk to Fusaki beach, 15 minute drive to the city/ishigaki port, and 15-20 minute drive north where many of the best sights are. Homemade, traditional breakfast included in the already very budget friendly stay. Friendly shiba dog and cats, beautiful garden. Great find!"
