Resort hotel • 923-1 Miyara, Ishigaki, Okinawa 907-0243, Japan
To heal the weariness of the hustle and bustle, head to Ishigaki Island, just a short distance from Okinawa's main island. Kariyushi Resort EXES Ishigaki is located in a tranquil area about 15 minutes away from the island's center. As you pass through the entrance, a soft, pleasant scent fills the air, bringing a sense of calm. At night, you can enjoy the starry sky from the Starlit Garden.
The expansive 58-square-meter rooms are equipped with four beds, making them ideal for families or group travelers. With separate spaces for Ryukyu tatami bedrooms and living rooms, you can fully relax and unwind. The separate bath and shower add to the pleasure of soaking in a hot bath every day.
Breakfast is served in a semi-buffet style, with a changing main menu. Rather than offering an overwhelming variety, the dishes are just the right amount and incredibly tasty. You can also savor Okinawan flavors like Yaeyama soba. For dinner, even if you choose to dine outside, you can still enjoy a leisurely time in the well-equipped rooms.
The hotel has a pool, and complimentary towel rental is available for beach visits. Upon returning, you can quickly dry your swimsuit using the washer/dryer, a thoughtful service. While the building may show signs of aging, there is no inconvenience, and the staff's attentiveness and cleanliness are highly praised. This hidden gem of a resort hotel, away from the crowds, offers a taste of the extraordinary and unique island experience.
