Property is in a great location on the island, basically right beside the beach. The restaurant served great food. The room was okay, the building is definitely dated but the common spaces were cleaned regularly. The room was as described, but perhaps at bit more dated from the photos. Overall, a convenient place to stay for a couple nights on the island.

Great value for the location

Very good price for the location. A little bit hard on the back if you're not used to sleeping on a Japanese style futon(i didn't personally mind it, just a warning) Lots of nice restaurants in the area and aharen beach is just a short walk away, and it's gorgeous! One downside of Aharen is there's only one small convenience store, and it closes quite early, so make sure to bring snacks and amenities

This is a diving hostel, dedicated for groups and individuals doing diving sessions, and Sea Friend seems to be the biggest in the area. They are efficient and clean. Facilities are rather basic but this is to be expected in such a facility. It gets the job done. The option to dive with their own people makes the trip super affordable as a dive location. I thought the food options were affordable at their canteen, average alongside the other places in Aharen. The breakfast is rather basic Japanese fare (with a good variety and quantity) and is all delicious. Everything was good! Also, no need to book the fast ferry - they are set up with a schedule that practically syncs up with the slow one.

We wanted a place near the beach and this was just what we needed. The staff at sea friend are super friendly they even pick up and drop off all their customers to and from the ferry port. Breakfast was included in our stay and it was very hearty. Overall fantastic experience in a simple basic room close to the beach. You even get discount on snorkeling gear as a hotel guest and we saw lots of fish and a sea turtle just off the beach right across from the hotel. Thank you sea friend for being very kind and making our time on the island memorable.

Sea Friend Hotel on Tokashiki Island was an incredible place to stay and truly enhanced my Kerama Islands experience. From the moment I arrived, the staff were warm, welcoming, and genuinely helpful, making island travel feel effortless and relaxed. The location is fantastic—close to Aharen Beach and surrounded by stunning natural scenery. The room was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained, offering everything I needed after a day of swimming, snorkeling, or exploring the island. Waking up to the peaceful island atmosphere was a highlight in itself. One of the standout features was how easy Sea Friend made everything. Ferry coordination, beach access, snorkeling support, and meals were all smooth and stress-free. The food was delicious and satisfying, especially after long days in the sun. If you’re looking for a place that combines comfort, convenience, and authentic island hospitality, Sea Friend Hotel is an excellent choice. I would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Tokashiki Island.
