Location
Situated in Ishigaki city at 154-12 Kabira, the hotel is approximately 460 meters from Sukuji Beach. This private beachfront location offers direct access to the ocean and a tranquil environment. The hotel is about a 30-minute walk or a short bike ride to Kabira Bay, known for its scenic beauty and glass-bottomed boat tours. Public transport is limited, with buses running every two hours, so a rental car or hotel-provided mopeds are recommended for exploring the island. Nearby dining and shopping options are sparse, requiring guests to plan meals accordingly or rely on the hotel’s restaurant. The hotel’s position on the coast provides impressive sunset views over the ocean, especially from upper floors and ocean-facing rooms.

Reviews
The service and staff were very good, and breakfast and dinner were excellent.
Public transport buses run very infrequently, so excursions and airport transfers need to be well-planned. IC cards (e.g., Suica) don't work on the buses here. It rained a lot, and some paths were flooded for days, meaning rubber sandals and shorts were essential. The cottage with a whirlpool tub on the terrace was lovely and spacious.
Good breakfast.
Since it's on the 7th floor, the ocean views are clear and far away, and the room is quite spacious compared to other Japanese hotels, so I had no problems staying there for three days.
The only downside is the abundance of bugs, but the ocean view and sunset make it all worthwhile. The sunset from the ocean in front of the hotel is the best👍
Everything is good
From the time I arrived before check-in to the time my bags were stored and collected upon my return, I was treated very pleasantly.
The building was renovated a few years ago, but there was no sign of aging. The cleanliness was also impeccable. If I had to point out a small flaw, it would be that there was one small fly buzzing around in the public space on the first floor.
It was a very relaxing and nice hotel.
The scenery should account for half of the vacation, because the scenery is excellent, facing the endless sea, but it rained heavily on the first night and the weather was not very good, which wasted this great advantage!
In terms of location, there are no restaurants, shopping, or even convenience stores nearby, so it is strongly recommended to go out early to find food, or eat in the hotel, and prepare more snacks and food, because you can buy things nearby, but it takes at least 20 to 30 minutes to drive to the city...
Overall it's OK, but I probably won't consider this hotel next time because it's not very convenient in every aspect! 
The hotel is far away from the city, very quiet, suitable for vacation
