"Pros: A quiet, peaceful island getaway. Fluent English is spoken by the hotel owner and some workers. We were given excellent guidance and maps of the island on arrival, which was VERY useful as the roads are quite narrow at times. We drove, but you can walk to many places. Bicycle (rental available) is also good. Excellent coffee shops can be found with guidance. Breakfast and dinner in the hotel dining room were superb. Japanese style. Coffee also great, and available free all day. Of course, the hospitality is top notch . . . it's Japan. We'll be back. Cons: Men, take a razor if you use one. Purchased razors are poor quality and cut the skin easily. Internet is fine in the dining room, but patchy in some guest rooms." ~Neil
