Miyakojima

It's a standard, if not slightly below standard stay. The rooms were fine! Bathrooms are small but expected in Japan, beds were very comfy and I was happy to see a balcony. They cleaned everyday and the ladies in reception were lovely. The one we dealt with predominately didn't speak any english and only spoke the old Miyako form of japanese which made the small amount we knew useless, however she was HUGELY friendly, helpful and all round generally lovely. 

Breakfasts are crazy. I could barely eat lunch. Don't expect your usual breakfast. She will serve you what she has up for the day, including fish, rice, hot or cold soups, tofu, raw egg to mix in your rice and all sorts of other items. Very fun! I loved it. 

Miyako is VERY quiet. It's not the Japan that you may be used to from the Tokyo or Kyoto area either. Buildings are plain, the area isn't exactly pleasant nor does it feel like 'island life' so this place is not bad given the few other options around. 

Good location too. Easy walking distance to the 'food' and 'nightlife' streets.

Not a bad little place

Miyakojima itself is a really laid back, little place, so don't go there expecting 5-star luxury. Of course, there's always the Tokyu Resort, if you insist on that sort of thing. I did, however, find Hotel Koushin more than adequate, and it lent a very authentic feel to my experience on the island. The old lady proprietor prepares a pretty satisfying Japanese breakfast (complete with fried salmon and dessert) -and calls you to make sure you get up for it (totally worth it). The room has the standard amenities, although I daresay you won't be spending much time in your room on this island. Location-wise, it's very near to Painagama Beach. Other main attractions are all within a 15-20minute drive away -and that's driving at the extremely chill standard island speed (50km/h). Free parking too (only 4 lots though, so I was pretty lucky I guess). Free washing machine and dryer service as well.
