Sōyōtei
On the northwest coast near Inaka-hama, this impressive guesthouse has a collection of semidetached units that boast private verandas and ocean views. There is an outdoor bath overlooking the sea, but it's not always open.
Izakaya Minshuku Sangoshō
For something totally different, try this slice of Southeast Asia transported to Japan. It's a 'guesthouse-pub' with tonnes of cool features, including a brilliant rock-lined bathtub and a huge banyan tree out the front.
Lodge Yaedake Sansō
This secluded accommodation features Japanese-style rooms in rustic riverside cabins connected by wooden walkways. There are private baths where you can soak up the beauty of your surroundings and children will enjoy splashing in the river.

Run by a friendly, English-speaking woman, charming Nagareboshi has clean, renovated rooms and a laid-back vibe.
Seaside Hotel
Overlooking the port in Miyanoura, this resort hotel has spacious Western-style rooms and some great ocean views. It's a three-minute walk from the Miyanoura ferry pier, on the right as you walk towards town.
Ocean View Campground
This campground is pretty much just a field for tents and a couple of showers and bathrooms, with a bit of rocky beach down the hill. It's just west of the Eneos petrol station.
Mauna Village
Also on the east coast of the island, this collection of cute, red-roofed cottages is popular with surfers and families. Some units have sea views and all have toilets, but bathing facilities are shared and meals are taken in a common dining room.
East Coast
This surf school-restaurant has two cosy bungalows for those who want to stay near the breaks. The owner is an English-speaking Japanese surfer. The bungalows can handle small groups and families, and have cooking facilities and bathrooms.
