Hotels Near Kurosaki Fort Site in Iki

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 allo**ents. 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 had reserved a Japanese-style room, but because it was vacant, I was guided to rent a house in a separate building. Although it was conspicuous, it was kept clean and I was able to relax. I added dinner for 1500 yen, but the freshly picked Akahata sashimi and tempura were really delicious. I will definitely ask you next time I stay. And above all, the personality and hospitality of the host's father and mother were the best! It is a recommended inn when going to Tatsunoshima.

Cozy Place in a small town of Iki Island - plenty of serenity around the area

Almost the only hotel located in Matsuura Harbor, the center of Iki Island. I like the friendly service of the room, facilities and hotel staff. There is a large mart around, which is convenient for eating and shopping. I would like to stay again next time I travel to Iki Island.

As the name of the hotel, the morning view was great! You can take a light from the sea and you can get a headache. It was breakfast, but I wanted to have dinner. Breakfast is dried with cherry blossoms, island tofu, ikkiiki natto and sanuki specialty, and I ate 3 cups of rice ～. Dinner seemed to be delicious and fun. It's a great thing to bake and eat living things in front of you! I want to eat next time. Also, the taxi was not in the middle 々, so the manager's son? sent me in a hurry. It's a very good hotel. I want to stay again.

I stayed here for one night without meals. It is close to Gonoura Port and can be reached on foot. There are convenience stores, liquor stores, and restaurants nearby, so it is convenient. There was a microwave next to the elevator on the first floor. When I took the elevator to the room floor, it was a non-smoking floor, but there was a unique smell. The room was simple and adequately equipped. There were three hangers, and slippers, both provided and disposable. The deodorant spray had a broken nozzle, so it dripped instead of becoming a mist, which was a minus point. The humidifier and air purifier were included, which was a plus. There were two outlets on the table and one on the bed. There was a kettle and tea bags, so I boiled the mineral water I had bought and drank it. There was POLA shampoo in the bathroom, so my hair didn't squeak, and the hair dryer was powerful and dried quickly. However, the hot water was weak, and it took more than 20 minutes to fill the bathtub with hot water. The window opens, but the sea breeze is strong, so it is better to close it after ventilating the room. If you want to enjoy sightseeing and just want a simple hotel then this is the best place to stay.
