"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. "

"Love the location by the sea side. Quiet, beautiful sunset. Very friendly staff."

"Beautiful hotel on an amazing little island just off of Ishigaki. The hotel and staff are all amazing. The rooms are spacious and traditional in feel. The tasting menu was incredible. "

"We had an Ocean view room. The room was clean and well attended. The hotel is a resort with a couple of pools, a few restaurants and lounge. We used the lounge and Soltida,a more casual restaurant. The other two restaurants looked very nice, however quite expensive. The breakfast buffet was very good. Large selection of western and Japanese foods. The front desk staff was always very helpful to arrange dinner reservations and taxis. The hotel is a little bit too far of a walk from downtown, especially in the heat and humidity. There is a bus that runs to downtown however we did not use it. Taxis were inexpensive. The hotel provided free parking as we had a rental car that we used to explore the island. Ishigaki is definitely a nice tranquil island and a nice break from the hustle and bustle of the bigger Japanese cities. "

"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. "

"It is close to Ishigaki downtown. You can walk to restaurants and stores. It's very convenient."

"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. "
