    Yakushima is a beautiful island with amazing views.

    Yakushima is a beautiful island with amazing views. The island is quiet and not touristy at all. Most things are closed on Sundays and don’t chose Yakushima if you want to go shopping or night life (it doesn’t exist). If you want great hiking, beautiful views and a touch of peace and quiet it’s a great place to go. Rent a car. Definitely worth it to tour the island and some of the inland roads (be warned they are very narrow and slow moving in many places, and you will need to reverse a lot for others to pass) It was a great way to see the island all its beauty and tons of monkeys.

    Shiratani Unsuikyo was breathtaking.

    Shiratani Unsuikyo was breathtaking. Jumonsugi Cedar trail was an adventure but not as pretty as Shiratani Unsuikyo. I am glad I did it but would not do it again. I will remember Shiratani Unsuikyo for the rest of my life as one of the most beautiful places I have ever seen and I have travelled a lot. Words cannot describe how beautiful it was. I wish I had 4 nights here. I needed one more day to explore the island. People should think twice about doing Jumonsugi trail. It is a lot and quite hard. Do it for the adventure but not for the views.

    Incredible island full of wonderful nature toe explore, I could have spent 5 days here probably, although a car rental would be really helpful. The buses and taxis are relatively expensive and not always available or convenient.

    You have to hike on Yakushima to really appreciate it.

    You have to hike on Yakushima to really appreciate it. The drive into the hills to get to these walks is incredible. The walks through moss and forests of ancient trees is brillant. It is like stepping into another world on Yakushima. If not into hiking, then the waterfalls and beaches and tide pools are also great.

    It is an amazing island with beautiful nature and scenery...

    It is an amazing island with beautiful nature and scenery but not well developed infrastructure and scarce public transport system. Best to rent a car, otherweise it limits activity on the other side of the island. Realisticly speaking the one destination visit per day is maximum with public transport. It is also necessary to begin early, as there are not really activities just for a half day (due to bus schedules). Therefore a 3 days stay may be a bit too short considering travel time with a ferry. It is good idea to shop before reaching island as there is limited supermarket choice.

    Very wild Island.

    Very wild Island. Good for people liking forest and trails, not good for people liking beaches. Not touristic Island. Organic Island, locals people are nice and helping. No shops. 7 days is enough to stay and visit.

    I loved the beautiful view. The room was comfortable and perfect for a solo traveler. I liked that it had a Japanese traditional feel even if it was not a traditional building. it was also nice to have the sentō and the laundry machines to use. I made friends with one of women who worked there and she was so nice and welcoming to me. The owner of the hotel was friendly and brought me around to see some nature highlights. The hotel felt like an extended family. I was here for a week and was very content and I would stay here again.

    Staying in this beautiful, comfortable, rustic riverside guest house was one of the most notable moments of my whole travels. The lady that runs it is the sweetest and kindest person I have ever met. The location is absolutely perfect for exploring Yakushima and the Jomonsugi hike. The rooms are comfortable and clean as those of any ryokan, and there are large onsen style baths free to use. You absolutely MUST stay here if you plan on staying anywhere on the island. Its worth every yen.

    I think the location of this hotel is absolutely amazing, it is on a cliff where you can see the ocean from the room! that is the part I really like, it is also very close to the port like a 5-minute walk, and a supermarket nearby, a very convenient location to start your journey on this island. you can book the tour group directly from the front desk and they even have hiking equipment for rental, so you can find everything you need here.

    Absolutely stunning place! Large cottage overlooking the water, with unit bath inside and a beautiful outdoor tub on the deck! This was an amazing base for our nights on the island. Staff were just wonderful, providing comprehensive tourist information, and personal recommendations based on our planned itinerary. I wholeheartedly recommend this location, and would not hesitate to re-book if we visit Yakushima again in the future.

    Kitchen and washing machine is available for free. It was very convenient to be able to wash all the dirty clothes after a long hiking. Room air conditioner is new and very efficient. Slept very comfortably. There is a supermarket nearby, which allowed us to buy breakfast and lunch at cheap price. Luckily there were no other guests staying while we stayed. So we had very pleasant time staying here.

    The cottage is simple but elegant, decorated with attention to detail but without being tacky. The owner is nice and helpfull. The surrounding area is well-kept and quiet, despite being close to the airport (literally a few minutes by car, maybe 15 or so by foot). Many of the attractions of Yakushima are reachable by car in 30 minutes, making this a perfect base from which to explore the island.

    The hosts Hitomi-san and Shigeru-san were so helpful and welcoming. We had a delicious breakfast and dinner, and Shigeru-san provided us with recommendations for what to do and where to eat on the island. The house itself was very clean, the futons so comfortable, the shared bathroom and toilets were spotless. We loved our time in Yakushima and this place played a big part in that!!

    I loved absolutely everything about this property, it was a relaxing atmosphere, the breakfast provided were delicious and big portions, and the host went out of her way to ensure that I had everything for my stay. She helped make restaurant reservations, massage bookings, and gave advice on areas of the island to visit. Would definitely stay again!!!

    The service was really good. The owner took half an hour to talk to us and explain things. He explained some interesting facts about Yakushima and so on. This is just a different experience and you should accept it as such. It might not be a hotel, but it was a pleasant experience looking back. I recommend it.

    Mike and Keiko welcomed us at the ferry to hand over our car: we got valuable hints to visit the island with our 2 kids! The house is just perfect: we loved it! And the terrace, the garden and the sea view… Waow! Of course Mike and Keiko gave us snorkeling gears also to enjoy the wonderful sea life!

    Very good value for money, in a traditional rural Japanese house. Placed in a very peaceful location in the island, the lady was very nice and the lodging was great. I couldn’t afford the ryokans in my stay in Japan, so this was a good substitute, and was also the best place I stayed in in Japan

    Right next to the airport, and in the middle of the two main attractions on Yakushima. The owner is amazing, and so are the other guests. The beds are very comfortable and the Japanese bath is a nice addition, after a long day of hiking! Would highly recommend staying here!
