Manabu, the owner of the guest house is laidback and nice, and can speak English. The guest house is clean and cozy. It is close to one of the most divine caves called “Blue Cave” in Onna village, impressive Cape Zanpa, Yachimun Pottey village, serene beaches and many high quality cafes and restaurants. Manabu and his wife also own a cafe called Blue Point. I highly recommend to stay here and explore Yomitan village. My favorites were going snorkeling and experiencing scuba diving at the Blue Cave, which were once-in-a-lifetime adventures. You will get to experience first-hand how truly blue the ocean of Okinawa is!

The rooms are simple but comfortable and individually air conditioned. It's right across the street from the ocean, and next door to a vegan restaurant that serves delicious lunches and really good espresso. The owner is wonderfully kind and helpful. It is very clean. Besides convenient laundry facilities, there is also an outside area in the back where you can hose off your fins or water shoes or soak your mask in a bucket. Guests share some common facilities, allowing you to have a friendly chat with a new person in the kitchen over a cup of tea--or not, as you prefer. But there are only a few rooms, so I never felt that there was competition for the shower or other facilities. This was the second time I have stayed here, and I expect it will not be the last.

the owner was very welcoming and helped me to plan my road trip on the last day since I didnt have anything planned. Information was provided very early on and this allowed me to have a very comfortable and wonderful stay.
location was a bit far from Naha airport but still provided a very good base for exploring other parts of the island like Onna Village and Cape Hedo.

The room and the facilities were clean and comfortable. You can use the kitchen and there's a living room with tatami. Washer and dryer are available too. There are not many things going on around as it locates in a quiet residential area, but the cafe right next to the guesthouse serves great felafel and superb coffee. Last but not least, the owner was really friendly and helpful-- thank you!
It might work for others, but the mattress was too soft for me.

The owner was very friendly and helpful. He also speaks English. My room was spacious and the bed was comfortable. The kitchen had everything you need, even a big toaster oven.
The bus depot is a massive hike up a massive hill if you don't take a bus to get there.

Very cozy. Good kitchen facilities and bathing/toilet facilities. Good storage space in the rooms. It is located in a good part of town that puts you close to many restaurants and activity locations. Also has good parking on site!
The beds are a little uncomfortable, but manageable. The walls are thin so noise from other guests travels easily and can be disruptive at night or in the morning.

Life is a journey is a little house right by the sea. We had a lovely stay and Manabu-san helped us a lot giving us recommendations and even a lift to the lighthouse! Highly recommend!

Great location to beach/bus, clean & tidy
The beds were really uncomfortable/hard as a rock with springs digging into my back-not great sleep for 3 days

The location was great if you have a car with you. Close to great snorkelling areas and good food options. There is a delicious cafe right next door. The host was very friendly and rented us snorkelling gear for the day.
The walls are very thin and you can hear people all night long. The beds are very uncomfortable (think springs poking into your back all night long) and only a bath towel was provided as a blanket. The floor in our room was about to cave in as well.
