Pension Hoshinosuna

We arrived via ferry to Uehara port and got a bus to the accomodation. Please note the bus is not very frequent. The host was very friendly and showed us to the room. Due to the remoteness of the accommodation, we had dinner and breakfast here the next day for our 1 night stay. The meals were superb! For dinner , we had a delicious local meal of fresh sashimi with Yaeyama soba , Okinawa Pork and salad. We booked both a night tour and day tour with Adventure PiPi who picked us up from the accommodation and dropped us back and also dropped us at the port the next day for the ferry back to Ishigaki Island. The beach next to the accommodation was beautiful and quiet. The room was basic with tatami mats and futons which is what we expected. It was good value. A lovely quiet location.

Wifi was not working during our stay in our rooms but we did get signal in the restaurant area.

The place is very nice, awesome views from the restaurant and the room. I got a western-style room upstairs which had an amazing light and could hang out on the balcony. Very neat and tidy, clean. The staff was veeery nice and could accomodate my vegetarian diet, and let me tell you ! The food was delicious. They were very keen to help me figure out a program for my stay as well. It's a very very nice place and the owner is so lovely. Thank you again for that wonderful stay

Just in front on the beach which is very famous as beautiful in the island “hoshizuna(star sand) beach. And the beach is so peaceful and easy to watch a lot of fishes and corrals,even you just bring your water glasses. And the accommodation owns the Restrant as well and customer doesn’t have to bring your wallets,they check the end of stay for all. Which means you don’t have to bring your wallet to the beach,no worries while swimming is kinda big deal to me.

This accomodation isn’t really new,and of course it’s part of nature island. So just expect some vintage stuff and some bug,gecko etc.

Exceptional nice staff with the two ladies running the pension

It is the best location.

It’s old.

Amazing stay ! The view on the beach is wonderfull, and it's just 50 meters away. The owner was very kind and helped us a lot during our stay. You can rent snorkling equipment and the food is really good ! 100% recommend !

absolutely recommended for tropical nature lovers 🌱 most friendly hosts, welcoming and helping around

The pension is right by the beach and has a small grocery 20min away on foot. The room was comfortable and clean, but since it was on the ground floor, we did see ants in the room. The restaurant sells snacks and they have a vending machine outside. We took a walk outside on the beach and it was beautiful. We didn’t get to eat at the restaurant but the view from their outside deck was beautiful!

Please bring your own sandals or slippers for the bathroom. The wifi wasn’t showing on my phone and the reception for 4g (docomo) was not the best in the area.
