A little paradise facing the ocean, our hosts and staff members were so kind and helpful The food served on our terrace was absolutely delicious. The perfect place to enjoy this idyllic Aka-Jima island.

The staff was really friendly and provided a shuttle service to and back from the beach when we needed it. The food was amazing, the chef is quite skilled.

Tokashiki is a piece of paradise on earth and staying at Kanaloa was the best decision I made when booking this escapade. Initially planning to stay for 3 nights, I extended for 2 more and had to stop there because I had to go home, otherwise I could have easily spent another week at this place. The staff whole staff was absolutely amazing. Always available, super caring and exceptionally professional. The owner fell in love with the island when he came to visit it during a school trip during his youth. He worked hard to buy and renovate a building in Tokashiki and make it this amazing place to stay in. He is truly passionate and impressively wears many hats throughout the day, and I fully admire his commitment to his dream. Location: Literally 2min walk away from the ferry port, so no need for transfers. 3min walk away from the only supermarket on the island. Multiple transfers are arranged everyday to take you to and from the two main beaches of the island (prefer Tokashiku for a more quiet experience). Room: Clean and fully equipped with everything you might need for your stay. It could be tight for 2 people but it is the usual size you'd expect for a Japanese hotel. Traveling alone, I had plenty of room for myself. Restaurant: You'll notice that there aren't many places to go to for dinner around the island, but you won't need that. The hotel's restaurant is grand. The menu is varied, the ingredients super fresh and the food is amazing. I honestly wasn't that hungry during my stay but I would always get more food than needed because everything was so delicious! Also, DO get the breakfast option as you won't have many outside of the hotel, and the care that you will be receiving here is unmatched. The Japanese one is exquisite, with a fresh piece of fish every morning, as well as an assortment of local delicacies. I will 100% be back. After a month of traveling around the country, this was by far my favorite place to be in.

Kerama Blue Resort was absolutely fantastic. While it’s located a bit further from the main Zamami Port, this actually turned out to be a real advantage. Staying here allowed us to explore parts of the island that we would never have discovered if we had stayed near the port. The team at the resort is young, kind, and incredibly attentive to all your needs. Several shuttles go back and forth daily between the resort and the port, and it’s also possible to rent scooters, bicycles, or even a car to explore the island at your own pace. One of the absolute highlights of our stay was a snorkeling and fishing trip with Nari. He takes you out on his boat to explore the turquoise waters around the islands, and shows you stunning fish and marine life. He’s an amazing person, genuinely passionate about what he does. I highly recommend booking a tour with Nari, even if you’re not staying at Kerama Blue. It’s one of the most incredible experiences I’ve had in my life, and you’ll come away with unforgettable memories. Thank you to the whole team for making our stay so special!

Fantastic experience. The food at the hotel restaurant was amazing & the staff were so kind & went above and beyond. Really loved our stay here and look forward to coming back one day.

Excellent location right next to Aharen beach. There's a free shuttle from the ferry that's included with your stay. Definitely reserve dinner! It was shabu-shabu and absolutely wonderful! It was the highlight of our stay. We had to leave early due to an incoming typhoon, and they were very prompt in communicating with us when the shuttle would be leaving for the ferry. Even though our trip was cut short, they made our stay very enjoyable.

Amazing location and beach. Staff super helpful!!! Loved the experience :)

Loved the room, was very spacious and comfortable, and very close to the beach! They also offer scuba diving, but just be aware that none of their instructors speak English (or very very limited English anyway). Free breakfast is included, and they had a wide range of good food - veggie options too! Water pressure was very good too.

There was no breakfast. Service as outstanding. Super clean and convenient location.

We liked everything,they are very friendly they helped us with everything.They organize for us a private boat trip for snorkeling.The location is also close to the beach app. 200m. Also the food is good.It is not luxury but i highly recommend this place.
