Kishimoto Ryokan, run by a local guide on Nishinoshima, quietly stands in a tranquil place a little away from the port. It offers an old-fashioned Japanese inn where you can experience the traditional island life in a homely atmosphere.
The owner proudly serves home-cooked dishes made with freshly caught seafood. You can enjoy a variety of rich island delicacies, such as large leaf seaweed, grilled squid, and seasonal spear squid sashimi. You can also savor island-specific flavors like the rare 'bonito sashimi'.
The guest rooms mainly feature Japanese-style tatami mats filled with the island's atmosphere. You can gaze at the calm sea from the window and enjoy the soothing sound of the sea breeze. Despite the old building, the facilities such as the bathing are kept clean.
What is most charming is the warm hospitality provided by the family management. Meals are enjoyed together with the family while sharing stories about the island. It will feel like being surrounded by a warm atmosphere, just like returning to your own home.
It is a little far from the port, but you can take a taxi or be picked up by family members to the ryokan.
