What kind of resort villa is Jusandi?

Jusandi
This is absolutely a spectacular place on Ishigaki island.  The environment surrounding the property is surprisingly amazing.  Once you enter the gate, It’s like you’re in another world.  We thought we wish time could stop for us.  If you want to get much of an immersive “luxury modern resort” experience in beautiful pristine nature, you should stay here. Jusandi must leave a lasting impression.  Actually, a one-night stay wouldn’t be enough.  On the other hand, if you bring small children, this is not.  Unluckily, the property has a minimum age requirement of 12 applies.  The ambiance is truly relaxed, tranquil, and cozy.  We seldom saw other guests during our stay.  There are only 5 villas.  Each villa has a private outdoor swimming pool using spring water, a private garden, and a wonderful private terrace with ocean views.

Is the location easy to access?

No, the location is a 15min drive away from New Ishigaki Airport.  You may want to get a rental car at the airport.  Alternatively, shuttle service is available at 2,700JPY.  You need to book it in advance.  There would be no public transportation on the island.

How about toiletries & in-room amenities?

All of the amenities are taken care of including enough toiletries, pajamas, bathrobes, welcome fruit, a coffee machine with many kinds of capsules, welcome sweets, a green tea set, local tea bags, and a complimentary mini-bar including beer, etc.  Staff refills drinks If you request.  Room service is available for drinks and light meals only.  Also, an iPad, a JBL speaker, and an air purifier were placed in our room.  The Free Wi-Fi reception was excellent.  There is no TV in each room.  There is no convenience store on the island.  You may want to buy your necessities before coming here.

How about In-house Facilities?

There is a nice private swimming pool in the private garden.  We spent a lot of time jumping in and out of our private pool.  You may want to bring your own swimwear.  We chilled out at the terrace under a sky full of stars and a moon.  When you are in a city with lots of lights, you can hardly make out the stars in the sky, but if you’re in the countryside, all you’ll see is a starry sky.  Then we fully enjoyed taking a walk on the large property.  We discovered various tropical fish, coral reefs, living creatures, and animals, etc.  Also, you can directory visit a mystical blue cave from the private beach and fully enjoy snorkeling around here.  The tools for snorkeling are available for free at the reception.  The beauty of the inside in the blue ocean is beyond description.  We were so impressed by the power of rich nature.  Then Jusandi is not a universal design.  There are very few steps, though.  If you bring people with weak feet, you may want to inform the staff in advance.

How about meals?

The Italian food experience for dinner would be top-notch.  If you are a gourmet, you should try it.  Dinner is served at the restaurant only.  It starts from 18:00, 18:30, or 19:00.  Then you can choose either Western or Japanese cuisine for breakfast.  Also, you can choose either the restaurant or your room.  The breakfast time is from 8:00-10:30.  *Please note that inform the staff when you book a room with meals if you have any food allergies.  They probably wouldn’t be able to prepare alternative food if you request it on that day.  Then there are some local restaurants on the island.  If you have a rental car, you can go out for meals.  Most of the local papa-mama shops are closing early.  You may need to book a table for dinner in advance.

My impressions

The staff tends to be not sophisticated.  If you expect 5-star hotel service, this is not.  It seems that there is a shortage of staff during the busy season.  Concierge service is available between 9:00 and 18:00.  Overall, the price range would be a bit high, but absolutely it was good without any comparison.  We will absolutely come here again.  If you visit here during busy seasons, such as the Lunar New Year holiday, between late April and early May, mid-July to late Aug, Mid-autumn festival, and the end of the year and New Year holiday, you should arrange it in advance.  At last, don’t forget to check the weather forecast before booking a room.  You might want to avoid staying between Aug and Sep.  There is a high possibility that many typhoons approach the island during this period.  On top of that, flights and ships would be often canceled due to typhoons.  Have a nice trip!  Welcome to receive any questions about Jusandi from the below space.  *All information is as of the date that I posted on my blog.  **Check-in and out times 3:00 PM/12:00 AM  You need to inform staff of your expected arrival time in advance.  Check Availability and Pricing for the hotel on Agoda
