A 10-minute drive from the property, the bus stop can be found for a shuttle to the World Heritage Site Jomon Sugi.Yakushima Airport is a 25-minute drive from this property. Miyanoura Port is a 40-minute drive away.

This little place was paradise, beautiful view of the water, trees, mountains, and our room had a balcony which we could watch the sunrise from. There was also an outdoor bath, but we didn't end up using it. We stayed for 4 nights and wish we could have stayed longer. It's about 40 minutes drive from the Miyanoura Port and about 10-15 minutes drive from the Anbo port. A car is recommended, as its not really walking distance from any food places or convenience stores. There is a yummy gelato shop next door though! And you can park right outside of your cottage. Driving up to the cottage, you might almost miss it. There's a pink house right in front of it, but the turn into the cottages is right before that where there is a little sign that said "Fairy". Each day, we were supposed to be out of the room by 9am so they could clean it, and they often left us a treat like mousse and fresh hibiscus flowers. Having to leave early may not be ideal for everyone, but it meant we were out earlier so we could do more things in our day. The bed was super comfortable, best sleep I've had in a while, and the area was so quiet. We had a chicken come visit us 3 out of the 4 mornings there, which was a delight.

Set 34 km from Yakusugi Land, TIDA Resort Yakushima 旧 屋久島海の胡汀路てぃーだ offers a terrace, a restaurant and air-conditioned accommodation with a balcony and free WiFi. The accommodation has a hot tub.

The units provide views of the sea and come with a seating area, a washing machine, a fully equipped kitchenette with a fridge, and a private bathroom with free toiletries and a hairdryer. A microwave and stovetop are also offered, as well as a kettle.

Very friendly and welcoming. The cottages are well designed, the beds are extremely comfortable and the location is over looking the ocean. The family that own it are really attentive and we had the optional dinner one night which was incredible and cooked by the owner chef. Easy drive from the airport and to any of the amazing hike trail heads and onsens. Would definitely recommend and would love to stay again!

Free use of bicycles is available at the property and the area is popular for hiking. A free pick-up and drop-off shuttle service is available to the airport upon prior request. Yakusugi Land is 13 km away while Nagata Beach is 15 km from Cottage Yakusugi. Miyanoura Ferry Terminal is 1.6 km from the property. Mount Miyanoura in Yakushima is approximately 40 km from the property.

This is a beautiful home that is much more traditional than anywhere else I managed to stay in my month-long trip in Japan. It was spacious and well maintained. It also comes with its own kitchen and fridge if you do want to cook your own food. Though we had trouble communicating in both Japanese (I am far from fluent) and English, we made it through in the end :P.

Looking for a cabin?

For the active travellers, a chalet is a great mix of the outdoors and the snug inside. Usually fully furnished and self-catered, chalets are typically wooden and in the Alpine region of Europe, but can also be found elsewhere in the world. Characterised by their sloped roofs, chalets can be single units or separate apartments, and are ideal for skiing holidays.

    A beautiful hotel with fully equipped cabins that feel like luxury in the countryside. The outdoor bath and hammock feature exceptional sea views. Beds were extremely comfortable. The food was amongst the best we had in Japan, each meal was truly exceptional. The owners are kind and caring, and can offer excellent advice about sightseeing and hikes. Renting a car is a necessity to reach this hotel, but is also highly recommended as the best way to explore Yakushima.

    Babara was a very friendly host! We enjoyed speaking with her and spending time with the other guests. It's a friendly communal vibe in the house. Also the house is a traditional 100 year old japanese wooden house, our room even had cedar wood ceilings!

    The whole area is just wonderful and a great starting point for exploring the island. We stayed in a spacious wooden cabin with out own kitchenette and toilet, and we had our own private bathroom with a bath that comfortably fits one person and uncomfortably two. :)) The accommodation is in walking distance from few restaurants and bus stops, but also hidden away in the nature, close to a river. The owner is very nice and hospitable and even picked us up in the city when we first arrived. We had a great time!

    Mr. Nakashima, his wife and their stuff are the Most wonderful poeple. They speak very wenn english, they are always helpful and they can give very Good Information about everything what to do on Yakushima. Transport, Restaurants, hiking spots…. The Little Huts are all build by himself. The location near amnbo ist quite Good. Five minutes to the busstop. But its worth it to hire a car, so you are much more flexible. We had had the Most wonderful stay on Mr, Nakashimas place in our four week journey through Japan. Thank you 👏👏👏

    Great location within walking distance of Miyanoura port. Traditional ryokan style house, sleeping on the floor with sliding doors and wooden floors. Beautiful room with views of the island. They offer vegetarian bento boxes which was ideal given the limited veggie options elsewhere on the island. Supermarket within walking distance and great kitchen facilities to cook for yourself, plus bus stop is within 10 mins walk.

    An authentic Japanese hotel, on the river. Had half board which is recommended. The staff was very nice and helpful, and there was a free shuttle to the airport.

    The Cottages are so whimsical and fun with a very creative design. Our group of five enjoyed being able to stay in two different cabins so we had our own privacy but could hang out together. There are several bus stops nearby or it is about a 25 minute walk to Anbo. We also appreciated that the cottages are very clean, the customer service excellent and the area very quiet.
