Experience

Extraordinary remote island stay with children
2 days and 1 night stay with family

A woman who enjoyed a trip to Taketomi Island in Okinawa with her 3-year-old daughter will introduce how she spent her time staying at HOSHINOYA Taketomi Island.

First day

Start14:30

About 8 minutes by shuttle bus from Taketomi Port to the inn

The original scenery of Okinawa remains
To tranquil Taketomi Island

A family-friendly trip to Okinawa starts! Taketomi Island, where the inn is located, is a remote island about 10 minutes by boat from Ishigaki Port. There are plenty of resort-like spots such as "Kondoi Beach" where the white sand beach and the sea are dazzling, and "Nagomi Tower" where you can see the traditional village.

Stayed in April 2021

Depart for a trip to celebrate my daughter's entrance! Taketomi Island, with stone walls and coral sand roads, was a place where the “original scenery of Okinawa” remained.

Check-in15:00

Arrive at the inn

Surrounded by the traditional beauty of the island
check-in

Check in at an inn that blends into the scenery of Taketomi Island. The 20,000 tsubo grounds are dotted with buildings with red-tiled roofs that follow the traditional Okinawan architecture, giving you an extraordinary feeling. With a side view of tropical plants and a white road of coral sand, head to the guest room in a special cart.

When I checked in, I only briefly told her that my daughter was going to enter the kindergarten, but I received a heartwarming service, such as a congratulatory bottle and drink delivered to my room.

You can stay like living in the original scenery of Okinawa. In addition to the red-tiled roofs of the guest rooms, the entire facility is built like a village, with white sand roads and hand-made stone walls.

Separate guest rooms in each building

Each of the 48 guest rooms where you can feel the life and faith of the island is independent and private. There are wonderful rooms such as "Zuki" which is ideal for family trips, "Kyangi" which has a living room with Ryukyu tatami mats, and "Gajoni" which has an open bath.

Stay at "Zuki" where you can feel like living in a village. My child doesn't always wear slippers, so I was grateful for the room where I took off my shoes.

Activity16:00

24 hours a day, all year round
Pool that tickles your child's mind

There is a pool that can be used 24 hours a day on the premises of the inn! The view of the surrounding scenery reflected in the elliptical pool built in a mortar-shaped depression is photogenic. This can be heated, so you can enjoy it not only in summer but all year round.

Island time with family

There are plenty of things to enjoy in the hotel, from the Yuntaku Lounge where you can taste famous Okinawan sweets and drinks, to the Miharashidai overlooking the village, and the Hoshinoya Spa where you can unwind your mind and body. The beach "Aiyaru Beach" near the hotel is also recommended.

Enjoy the scenery from the observation deck on the premises, or take a stroll along the beach. At the Yuntaku Lounge, we also enjoyed playing the sanshin (a traditional Okinawan musical instrument).

We also recommend watching the sunrise from the observatory. At HOSHINOYA Taketomi Island, which is located in the east, you can see the glow of the morning sun and the sea at once from the observatory.
