We stayed at Ntsunaka for 4 nights and had a blast! In order to arrive we took a taxi from Miyako airport, it cost us ¥1600.
We were welcomed by Shotaro, the owner and housekeeper, who's a really awesome guy. The room was Japanese style with futons, a folding table and air-conditioning. We spent every morning and evening in the shared area, cooking our own food by taking advantage of the well-equipped kitchen. The shower is well-lit and very clean, actually the entire complex is spotless and very well taken care of!
There's also a beautiful, vast garden surrounding the house, perfect for relaxing during good weather.

Since we didn't rent a car, Sho supplied us with single-gear bicycles which were a joy to ride around (albeit tiring to cycle during​ climbs). It took us around 15 minutes to ride to the nearest familymart to purchase cooking supplies.

We also asked Sho for snorkeling equipment, and rented it for ¥1000 per set (it's ¥500 cheaper than renting at the beach). We took a 40-minute bike ride to Aragusuku Beach one day and enjoyed snorkeling very much.
If we needed a taxi we just asked Sho, and he made the call for us.

Staying at Ntsunaka truly made our stay at Miyakojima memorable! It was especially enjoyable for me to sit in the garden and conversate with Sho for a couple of hours. Thank you!

We spent here 4n, choosing the place not only for the quite reasonable price (approx €75/n) but also for the very positive (although few) reviews. First thing first, if you really want to fully enjoy the island(s) and its amazing beaches you need a car, forget about using bicycles, taxi from/to airport etc. The pension is really isolated in the middle of cultivated field, however the location (having a car) doesn’t really matter in my opinion. Nearest Family Mart 7’ driving, harbour/city/mall less than 15’, everything is really close and convenient. The pension as mentioned in a previous review is very Japanese style, with spacious kitchen/dining room, long corridor with 5 (6?) rooms, wc/showers at the very end. It’s surrounded by a very nice garden. We’ve had a small inconvenience when checking in with the owner/housekeeper (very nice guy) since the payment accepted is only cash, which wasn’t mentioned in our reservation made via Agoda. Anyway, we promised to withdraw the money the next day (which we did in one of the Post Offices, since we had problems at ATM’s at Family Mart), not a bid deal really but it’s definitely not a plus not being able to pay by credit card. As said the room is Japanese style, enough spacious for 2ppl, with tatami and futons. These are quite thin to be honest, hence the first night of sleep wasn’t really the best. Luckily we were able to get an extra futon each, which was definitely a plus. Also we were surprised that no blankets/sheets are provided, only a very large towel which probably serves also as blanket. Again, we asked if we could get some bed (futon) sheets to cover us up during the night and there was no problem with that. The place is spotless clean, good WiFi, very silent A/C in the room. However the main reasons why I’m giving 3 and not 4 stars are the following: the places was packed with Japanese families with kids, at least 2-3 at the same time, which means almost 15 people (or more). The place can get therefore extremely noisy and busy, with kids walking (almost running) up and down along the corridor, especially early in the morning. I know it can’t be controlled by the ownership but future guests must be aware of that. Also, we could hear next door’s neighbors talking and snoring, definitely this affects the quality of sleep. Secondly, there are only 2 WC’s (M/F) and 2 showers (M/F), really not enough for a place which can get up to 20 people. Luckily I didn’t have any issue really, but frankly I reckon they should have at least 2 extra WC/Showers. Other than that, a big plus was having 2 washing machines+2 dryers available. There’s enough space to park your car in the garden. Some fantastic beaches (especially Yoshinokaigan) and a beautiful lighthouse (Higashi-Hennazaki) are 10’ driving distance. Overall, I would recommend the place if you have no inconvenience to share it with possibly 15+ people.
