Miyako Island – Gistihús

Fabian Þýskaland

The host and team were very kind. It's a relatively small house in which the guests live together with the host and the staff. It's a family atmosphere between the host, the staff and the guests. We cooked together, made some trips and just went for dinner/drinking. Since I speak only a bit of Japanese there was some language barrier, since the host speaks only japanese. However, some of the guests could speak a bit of English and for the translation apps could be used. Nevertheless I never felt excluded.

The staff at Koa were incredibly friendly and helpful. The bathroom was spotless, and the bedroom was comfortable and inviting. Plus, the closest beach is just a short walk away and absolutely beautiful. If you're planning a trip to Miyakojima, I highly recommend staying at Koa.

Sony and his wife were very gracious hosts and have done a great job at cultivating a true sense of community among guests and staff. The snorkeling trip was a lot of fun as were the dinners and drinks in the evening.

This place is super clean and everything is properly labeled for foreigners. Host is super helpful and kind! Location is about 20 mins from the city/downtown area so if you are looking for a place to stay with calm vibe, this place is a must :) I also recommend renting a car although there are buses/taxis available.

The owner offered a big basin to clean my diving equipment and a huge space to dry up my diving equipment. Thanks so much.

The host is super friendly and open. You can sit on the balcony and enjoy the sunset. Very calm, rural atmosphere away from the resort hotels and beach selfie instagrammers. But a small and very beautiful beach is within walking distance, and another where you can snorkel and see sea turtles is a few kilometers away.
