Open from 8am to 8pm and year-round, it is convenient for dropping by mid-sightseeing to replenish drinks and snacks. On Irabu Island, where there are few convenience stores, it is a presence relied on by locals and travellers alike. Why not casually use it for stocking up or a little break?

Visiting tips & what to bring

As it is a facility-type supermarket there are few special cautions, but it is a compact shop centred on daily necessities. If you expect specialist souvenirs or large-store goods, using a large supermarket on the main island of Miyako alongside is reassuring. Being hotel-adjoining, the parking space is shared, so share considerately when crowded. Bento and deli items are popular and may sell out, so an early visit is recommended.

You can drop by casually even with infants. The interior is compact and easy to move around, and you can quickly buy drinks, snacks, bento and food that can substitute for baby food. With a flat location on the hotel first floor with few steps and a short route from the car park, shopping with a pushchair or while carrying is little burden. Close to Toguchi-no-Hama, it is convenient for a family trip as a base for replenishing snacks and drinks.
