Great little hotel north of Nara, with English speaking staff. Rooms are brand new and include everything you need for a comfortable stay, including washer and dryer. Very close to the US AFB so you will see lots of airmen walking and jogging along the oceanfront. Location is great as a springboard for both northern and southern excursions. Don't forget to visit nearby restaurants, easily walking distance from the hotel. You'll need a car to get around the island, so free parking is a must. A couple downsides: No tuktuk service anymore, so you have to stay sober when going out by car. "Breakfast" is just a few pastries. Though very good, it isn't any kind of sustainable nutrition for the morning. Family Mart conbini is close though so you can pick up supplies.
