Everything was great! The bathroom was quite unusual, molded from a single piece of plastic. Just make sure you don't miss breakfast, otherwise, finding food afterward can be a real challenge. You'll end up relying on ready-made meals from the store, as all the eateries on the island seem to operate on the same schedule and close during the day.

The accommodation was great, a few steps from this amazing beach. Change of towels every day and a fair breakfast. Aircon works well and bed is also comfy. Izakaya Maruni was our go to favourite izakaya. We would totally go back again!

Staying in a wooden cabin, the hygiene was good, and everyone was considerate about keeping it clean. The facilities are a bit old, and the bathrooms are shared. Overall, if you're not staying on the small island for too long, it's a decent experience.

Pension has a restaurant, they have a washing machine, they can schedule activities for you, and have a shuttle to catch the ferry (sadly, none for pick-up it seemed to us). Really close to Aharen beach, so was perfect i'd say

Nestled in Tokashiki Island's village, right by Aharen Beach and next to Aharen Village Elementary School, this place is a true hidden gem. The serene night sky, sparkling with stars, makes it feel like an absolute paradise.

Service was ok they always answered questions but they never actually told us what they had to offer which would have been nice. Food was ok, but the main dish that we would have enjoyed was only written in Japanese so we didn't know what it was.

Really nice place right next to the beach. Staff was friendly. Hotel dinner & breakfast were ok. The curry was good. There are not many shops in the little town but there's enough to wander for a bit. There was a lookout nearby. We also went snorkeling but didn't see sea turtles as it was not the right season. We did a craft workshop with a nice lady. Overall it was a relaxing stay.

I recently stayed at Sea Friend on Tokashiki Island and I would definitely book here again! We had a room with a private bathroom—nothing fancy, but it was very clean and had a cozy feeling. Plus, breakfast was included, which was a nice bonus!
The location is just steps away from a beautiful beach where you can snorkel and swim, making it perfect for beach lovers like us.
Here are a few tips that might help future guests:
- Free Bus Service: Sea Friend offers a free bus service that takes you from the ferry port to the hotel. Just look for the Sea Friend bus!
- Payment Options: You can pay with Visa or Mastercard, which made things convenient.
- Water Temperature:*The water can be quite chilly, so be prepared for that. As a Sea Friend guest, you can rent equipment at a special rate, including wetsuits, snorkeling gear, and beach umbrellas and chairs.
Overall, this was a perfect choice for us as a traveling couple. It’s modest yet feels like a very good option. Highly recommend!

Room is simple but efficient and clean. It has a small fridge. The beach is nearby.
The staff is really dedicated to serve customers. Great thanks to Iu.
I would recommend to go for half board has the set meals I got for each diner were just deliceous. Breakfast is a buffet.
