I stayed here for 21 nights with the breakfast plan and have nothing negative to report... incredibly friendly and helpful staff, lovely balcony, clean and comfortable rooms, access to a jaccuzi and tons of free toiletries!

Situated on Ishigaki port, this hotel couldn't be more convenient for taking ferry trips to the other islands and local shops and convenience stores within a few minutes walk.

Just a 30 minute bus ride to the airport and to other attractions.

The breakfast included in this stay is worth mentioning because you get all you can eat and drink.. freshly ground coffee and full continental style food.

I'll definitely be coming back here!

Upscale cabin stay

Great place!! Highly recommend. The rooms are very compact, and has everything you need (toothbrush/towels/hangers/shampoo) The facility is nice and they had a great balcony to chill. The showers and bathrooms were very clean. Was perfect for one night to hang out in the city of Ishigaki. 

Clean, compact, chill

Location:
Central location right next to the 730 crossing, bus terminal, and sea port. Very convenient to walk to for meals, drinks, and shopping.

Rooms and space:
Even though you only have a room with a bed, a space to fit your suitcase (see photo for an idea of how my large travel suitcase fit in) and a small desk with a locker space, it was very cozy and very quiet as the Blue Cabin has rules for no sound in the sleeping area so as not to disturb the other guests. The outdoor terrace area on the ladies floor is very spacious, nicely lit for the night time if eating there, and has a magnificent view of the sunset overlooking the sea port. The ladies bathroom area is extremely well planned: a lot of space in the showers area, a good selection of different bath and hair shampoo/conditioner products, vanity section (with and without sinks) and hair dryers to sit down to do your skin care and makeup. For scuba diver travellers, there is also an outdoor space outside on the men's floor downstairs to dry your dive gear, hence keeping the hotel clean and tidy. 

Breakfast:
And finally, even if you do not stay at the hotel, I highly recommend the breakfast at the cafe for its selection of Japanese style bread (can choose between a set with a drink or buffet) and the calm atmosphere.

I will certainly stay again next time I go on a solo trip to Ishigaki!

Central location, clean, and comfortable capsule hotel for solo scuba traveller

Cannot beat the location. It is just a few mins walk from bus terminal and pier, so easy to go from airport as well as joining the island tours during day time. Also it is right next to Pushynushima that organize night time star cruise so you can just walk to next door at 8:15pm to join the tour. Stayed at female floor and very quite at night, so quiet that you will feel guilty making any noise in your cabin. If I come back to Ishigaki, will definitely stay in Blue Cabin again.

Very good location and Clean

You have to understand the concept first that this is just a hostel! Then, there will be no high expectations and you will feel like it’s actually a lot better than what you think. 

It’s very tiny room. The room can fit only 1 bed and a little desk next to it. There are not even spaces for you to change in the room. If you come with the big suitcase, I don’t even know how you can store it!! But like I said it is the hostel so can’t expect space much rather than the bed. 

The plus for this one are 
1. Location: Super close to seaport and bus station(which is in the seaport) so it’s super easy to find. Direct bus from airport to seaport and you will see the hotel in not too far distance! You can’t miss it. Also super easy to do island hopping. You literally just walk 3 mins to seaport and boom! Ferries are there. All tours are also there. I did Ferry to Taketomi, Bus to Kariba and 3 islands hopping tour at the seaport. 
2. Privacy: because there is a blinder to close the room so it’s more privacy than regular hostels so that you don’t have to stay with someone under your bed or above your bed. It seems like you really have your own room but just have to share the bathroom. 

Bathrooms are really clean and has plenty. I like that they give you new towel and new toothbrush & toothpaste everyday. WiFi is ok not excellent but good enough. 

Staff speak ok English but he is helpful. Check in and check out time is very strict. There will be no one at the counter between 10am to 3pm which is the check out-check in period so forget about check in early. They can only take your bag and put it behind the counter. 

Shopping street is on the same street hotel is. Scuba diving center is next to the hotel. Family mart at the corner. 

Bathroom will be busy during very early morning and early night when people come back from excursions but still there’s always some available. There is outside area for women floor to smoke and eat. Laundry machine available as well but have to pay a little. 

Good for solo traveler. 


More privacy than regular hostels

This is a very nice capsule hotel. I find that the room give to each capsule is just perfect, enough for a sufficiently sized single bed and some room to stash a small rollaway luggage. There's a lockbox as well, to store valuables. 

I stayed with friends for 4 nights. They don't clean your room during the stay, but you can exchange for new towels and pajamas every night at the front desk. 

We used the laundry facilities onsite and it was nice, but a little bit pricier than I expected. The dryer charges by every 15 minutes, so that can get expensive if your clothes are just not drying. 

The communal bathroom/shower area is well thought out. I never found to be too busy - I'm usually able to get a stall no problem. They also offer nicer shampoos and conditioners (like Tsubaki), but you have to get them before you enter the shower stalls. For males, there is a communal bath downstairs. For females, there's a jacuzzi room that you have to reserve ahead of time. It's free, but you have to clean up after yourself. 

We did not have the buffet breakfasts, but we did frequent the bakery most mornings. The breads were very good and generally cost 100-300 yen. A 500 yen set includes a salad, a bread, and a coffee. I had lunch there once, and thought the food was better than I expected and the price was fair. The restaurant is usually not very full so it is a good option for food. The restaurant (and bar) closed particularly early though, at 8 I think. 

My only big complaint is that there is no common area. We were a group of mixed-gender friends, and could not really kick back and hang out together since the floors were gender-segregated. Perhaps it is better for small group (and same gender) travelers and solo travelers for a short amount of stay.

Very convenient property

firstly, the hotel was close the pier and bus station.  the transportation from airport to the hotel was around 40mins !  it was very convenient !

the hotel was very good ! it just like the JPN tradition, the room was clean and tidy.  each floor also had shower room and laundry.  the wifi is very steady even teh room.  there had a small balcony, which facing the pier (you could enjoy the sunset) !

the hotel also provide the breakfast. the bread here was hand made. i like most !

you also go to have a seat even you not stay there
