Visiting tips & what to bring

Being accommodation, front-desk service and booking reception are a guide of 9:00 to 20:00. Check-in 14:00 and check-out 10:00 are basic but differ by plan, so advance confirmation is recommended. Parking is free with about 20 spaces but first come first served, so in peak season an early arrival is reassuring. As shops and convenience stores are limited nearby, procuring what you need on main-island Miyakojima or in the Sarahama area is good. Being seaside with strong summer sun, take sun-shade measures. Sightseeing is basically by car.

For families with small children

With all rooms ocean-view and a quiet setting, families with children aged 0 to 6 can spend time at leisure too. With good access about 3 minutes by car from Shimojishima Airport, the light burden of long travel is reassuring. On the other hand, being a small 12-room hotel, kids facilities and play equipment are limited, and with few shops nearby, nappies and baby food need advance preparation. Being a seaside location, take care not to take your eyes off children during beach play. A hire car is presumed.
