Experience culture authentically with a stay at this traditional Japanese-style accommodation. Sleep on the floor (on a futon roll) in a room furnished with tatami flooring and sliding doors. Guests can often expect access to a communal bath plus a complimentary Japanese garment called a yukata.
Lovely helpful staff! The hotel was spotlessly clean, great breakfast. Too bad the onsen was under construction when I got there.
Comfy beds and great bath/shower with lots of toiletries.
Very nice family hotel, with good breakfast, amazing splash park, OK beach and good paid restaurants. Villas are set in a beautiful, well maintained garden, the service is japanese standard (veeeery good!), oh, and we loved the onsen! There's a free bus going to and from the airport (didn't know that, paid for the taxi there, it's not enough advertised!), there's also a bus stop in front of the hotel taking you to ishigaki town and Kabira bay (not very frequent, but punctual and cheap).
We were there at the end of April. The outdoor pool and the onsen inside were wonderful. Free drinks (juice/beer) in the afternoons and free ice cream after onsen were also great. The rooms are very spacious and clean. And the view from Villa Garden, Ocean view was breathtaking. The whole hotel looked beautiful with many flowers and palm trees and banana trees. The hotel also provides a free shuttle bus to the airport.
Very Nice Place to Stay. The Onsen was clean and Not crowded.
For Trips alone or with the Family a perfect Choice.
Normally mostly Japanese Guests, regarding the Breakfast but still very good👍
Great facilites and amenities. We particularly enjoyed the onsen and indoors swimming pool, as well as the size of the room and the breakfast buffet at La Mer. The staff was very friendly and we could also use the airport shuttle.
The main attraction close to Joya is Kabira Bay. Apart frm that, it’s pretty far frm the other attractions.
At night, it gets so dark in the area that you can get a clear view of the Milky way and catch the meteor showers!
The hotel is super clean and I had alot of fun making the futon. The owner’s exceptionally helpful and helped me get familiar quickly:)
Simple, but comfortable Tatami-room with Futon-bedding. Very clean. The host, Yamamoto-san was very welcoming and helpful. She shared a lot of useful information and prepared wonderful breakfasts, both Japanese and Western style. We had a lovely time in this hotel.
