What is the attraction of guesthouses on Ishigaki Island?
Ishigaki Island, one of the most popular tourist destinations in Okinawa Prefecture, is lined with many lodging facilities.
There is a great variety, including resort hotels, guest houses, and guest houses.
This time, among the many accommodations on Ishigaki Island,
Focusing on guesthouses, we will introduce the appeal of guesthouses.
If you are considering a trip to Ishigaki Island, please refer to this page.
More reasonable than resort hotels
The first attraction of the guesthouse is,
It is more reasonably priced than a resort hotel.
Rates for resort hotel accommodations on Ishigaki Island,
Most places cost between 10,000 and 30,000 yen per person per night.
Package plans that include meals, beverage service, and activities will add to the cost.
On the other hand, guesthouse accommodation rates range from 2,000 yen to 4,000 yen per person per night.
How is it possible to set such a fee?
First, it is a bare-bones accommodation.
Because there is no need to spend money on food and labor costs in preparing meals,
This can reduce the cost of lodging.
Another reason is that the facilities are kept to a minimum.
Although resort hotels have bathrooms, amenities, etc. in each room,
Many guesthouses have shared rooms, shared toilets and baths, and do not provide amenities.
Because by doing so, equipment costs can be cut,
There is no need to set a high accommodation cost.
Enjoy a variety of encounters
The second attraction of guesthouses is the variety of encounters that can be enjoyed.
As mentioned a little earlier, most guesthouses have shared rooms and most of the space is common space.
Some resort hotels emphasize privacy, and there is almost no opportunity to interact with other guests.
In a guesthouse with open space,
The close proximity to other guests naturally creates opportunities to talk.
Many of the people who stay at the guesthouse are friendly,
Combined with this, it is easy to create a timing for friendship with other guests.
Because Ishigaki Island has many tourists,
The fact that many of us have the common goal of "enjoying Ishigaki Island to the fullest" is also a good opportunity to deepen our friendship.
Even if the genre of their usual work is different,
As a kind of comrade, so to speak, who came to enjoy Ishigaki Island to the fullest,
We can get to know each other and connect again somewhere else, which is the main attraction of a guesthouse.
Also, since Ishigaki Island is often visited by locals who come to visit the guesthouse, you will have a chance to get to know the locals.
Many hotels are easy for women to stay in.
The third attraction of guesthouses is that many facilities are easy for women to stay in.
In the previous section, we mentioned that many guesthouses do not have amenities, and many are common areas.
This would mean that you would have to provide your own amenities, and you would have to worry about people looking at you.
Women in particular do not want to add to their luggage with amenities,
Many of you will find the male gaze inevitably distracting.
However, taking into account the fact that in recent years there has been an increase in the number of women traveling alone and women's groups traveling together,
We have private rooms exclusively for women, or we have shared rooms for women only,
Many guesthouses are installing amenities.
If you use these guesthouses,
Women should be able to easily make their guesthouse debut.
