What kind of place?
Fake reviews removed

The izakaya locals on Okinoerabujima name first when asked for their favorite. Fully committed to locally sourced ingredients — fresh seafood from nearby waters and homegrown vegetables. Signature dishes like mozuku-kikurage tempura and taco rice reflect the island's fusion of Okinawan and Kagoshima food culture. TripAdvisor #1 in Wadomari-cho (4.5/5). All tatami seating is sunken kotatsu style. 2-hour all-you-can-drink courses available for groups of 5+, up to 35 people. Run by a couple who also work as caving guides — happy to recommend sightseeing spots.
