The location is excellent, with a beautiful view of the ocean not only from the lobby but also from the rooms. The food was delicious, and the staff's thoughtfulness was a delight.

We stayed at Iki Retreat while on Iki Island. It’s a Modern ryokan with large rooms and excellent staff. The staff were excellent from the minute we arrived. Warmest in greeting and there was a gentleman who spoke English who helped with check in formalities. Our room on the second floor was the junior suite. It had two bedrooms, an outdoor tub, living room and one shared toilet plus an en-suite toilet. We decided to take the room with the en-suite toilet and shower. The bed was just the right firmness, but the quilt was a winter quilt. Super hot for this period. Rooms have split unit air cons. All rooms face the sea. Chairs are arranged by the window for you to enjoy the view with a tasty beverage. The drinks in the fridge were complimentary. There’s also tea making hot water flask available in the room. The toilet was small but contained all the usual Japanese functionality. Warm toilet seats and electronically operated sprays for one’s bum area. We had a single sink in a compact area. Lots of amenities available in the drawer. Typical for Japanese ryokans, all bathing and face washing soaps and gels are available in the room. My wife tried the outdoor bath. It’s filled with water from the onsen and it’s super hot at 48 degree celcius. She quite enjoyed the experience. The second toilet and sink is placed here. There’s an outdoor shower. There is a small Gym in the basement, I spied two cardio machines and a pull up bar. The onsen spa is also placed in the basement. If you’d like Coffee, this can be had in the reading room, on the opposite side of the restaurant. The Restaurant serves excellent kaiseki dinners and a very filling breakfast. We had really delicious meals here. The staff are very friendly and helpful. They are observant and will try to anticipate your next ask. Eg. They passed me some serviettes before I asked for it, and they were very good at keeping our drinks topped up. We asked to change dinner timing and booked a cab through the hotel and this was done efficiently and we were kept informed. Overall, a great stay here and I would highly recommend Iki Retreat.

Simply the place to stay on Iki Island, if you look for a luxurious Onsen Ryokan. The property has heritage but is very well maintained. We liked our room with private onsen with a spectacular view over the bay, a spacious sitting area and very comfortable beds. High quality toiletries are provided. The minibar was included in the rate and gets daily restocked – nice! There is a bar/library area, where you can order drinks or enjoy free coffee. Upon check-in we were told there is water and sparkling wine as well, but we never saw any – guess only on offer during a narrow timeframe. There are some larger onsens which you can book (nicer during daytime, as the view at night is limited), and you can visit the gender-separated public baths at any time The hotel has a couple of electric BMWs you can rent, so very easy to explore the island and be back again for dinner. Of course, transfer from and to the ferry is provided as well. A small town with some restaurants is a short stroll away, should you fancy to eat/drink out.

Iki Kairi Murakami is a nice place to slow down and relax. The staff were really nice, just like anywhere in Japan. The breakfast and dinner were delicious. The only downside was the rooms were a little old and musky smelling.

Iki Retreat Kairi Murakami opened in 2018 after Onko Chishin bought out the property and extensively renovated it (I'm assuming "Murakami" is the name of the original owner as well as the property name.) It's located on the Northwest side of Iki Island, with commanding views of Yunomoto Bay - each of its 12 rooms face the Bay, all but the entry level "Corner Tatami Room" have Western beds, and each room has a private, open-air Onsen (straight from the source) bath on the deck. Speaking of Onsen, the hot spring turns gold in color upon being exposed to air, due to a high concentration of iron - this is not unlike the gold Onsen found in many parts of Arima Onsen near Kobe. Aside from in-room baths, Iki Retreat also has large, gender-segregated communal baths as well as a private bath that can be rented in 45 minute allotments. Guests looking for a unique Onsen experience in a remote part of the country will undoubtedly enjoy staying here. The property itself is a hybrid ryokan/hotel type - while robes are provided in the room and can be worn throughout the property, they are more of a casual, "Samue" type of outfit.. it's far less stylish than a Yukata but more comfortable when wearing it. Like most small ryokans, Iki Kairi lacks a gym and pool. Unlike traditional ryokans, shoes don't come off until you get to the guestroom (similar to Fufu) and doesn't have a garden. This is compensated by the view of the ocean, which is reminiscent of Bouyourou, Sui Suwako, Migiwatei Ochi Kochi and the two Amane Resorts in Beppu. We stayed in the top category room, the Kairi Suite, which offers 120m² of indoor living space and the only one that features both a Japanese-style tatami room and a living room with couches (in addition to a separate bedroom.) No other rooms have a Western living room, so if the idea of sitting "on the ground" in a tatami room isn't to your liking, be sure to seek out the Kairi Suite. For just one year - beginning on the day we arrived - Onko Chishin has collaborated with Kateigaho to redesign the Kairi Suite in a modern, Japanese-stylish way and have dubbed it the "Kateigaho Suite." Kateigaho is a renowned publication that caters to a high-end demographic and focuses on Japanese art, architecture, food, travel and fashion. The Kateigaho Suite in its current form will be in existence from June 16, 2023 to June 14, 2024. The main aspect worth mentioning are variety of decorative crafts and art by traditional Kyushu artisans, especially the wall exhibit of tea cups in the tatami room (guests are free to use them during their stay.) Overall, we felt the room was tastefully designed and furnished, with a nice blend of traditional and modern Japanese interior look and feel to it. Two things worth pointing out, for what it's worth: the bathroom has a men's urinal (in addition to a standard, Toto toilet), and - curiously - there is only one sink. Otherwise, what you see is what you get. Iki is famous for its seafood, local produce as well

I stayed in Iki for 1 night and 2 days. The view of the sunset over the calm and peaceful bay was amazing. I was able to enjoy red sea urchin at Kairi Murakami, which was my long-awaited goal, and soak in an iron-rich hot spring to enjoy an extraordinary healing experience. Above all, the hospitality of the staff was the best! The detailed service from arranging requests in advance to hospitality on the day was truly wonderful. We were planning to tour the island in a BMW electric car, but by the time we requested it, there were no available cars, but they introduced us to another rental car on the island and made the arrangements. I was impressed by how sincere they were when guiding me to my room upon arrival, and at dinner, she gave me an easy-to-understand explanation of shochu, a specialty of Iki, so I could enjoy the pairing of food and alcohol. It's done. There were quite a lot of activities, but I couldn't experience most of them, so I definitely recommend staying for 2 nights or more for 3 days or more! I was impressed by the land in Iki and the responsiveness of the staff, and had a fulfilling stay.
