The food was really imcredible - so many delicious Japanese dishes for dinner and breakfast. Only 4 guest room and each looks out onto the sea. Staff were superb especially the 81 year old working manager who is so sweet! No one speaks English there although our group speak Japanese. We used this as a base to do the 30KM Jomon Sugi (cedar) hike to one of the world's oldest trees - some 7000 years old. Tough hike in light rain and slippery in places but well worth it.
Located at the edge of a peninsula on Yakushima Island, samana hotel Yakushima offers great views of the ocean and Mount Motchom.

Anbo is a small town, and the hostel is located above the main junction, next to the bus stops and across the bridge from the kayak rental. It's a good location.
The bed itself was pretty comfortable and although there weren't any lockers, the 6-bed room only had maximum of 3 people in it, so we were able to keep things next to our beds. I was allowed to keep my luggage late on check-out.
The shower had good pressure and the laundry was cheap and efficient (100 yen for 60 minutes wash/dry, 50 yen for detergent from the shop downstairs).
Situated in Yakushima and only 12 km from Shiratani Unsuikyo, Minnsyuku Yakushimaya features accommodation with sea views, free WiFi and free private parking.

The view to the ocean was really nice from the terrace. There was a bathtub.

Location is perfect for the famous hiking trails (Jomonsugi / Yakusugi Land).
Since it is located in Anbo town, there are convenient supermarkets and restaurants close by.
The room was spacious, clean and comfortable. There are two large shared bathroom spaces, and separate toilets - but I did not feel like I had to wait at all to use them. The bathrooms have many toiletries, and there is even a jacuzzi/bath you can use, which is perfect after a long day of hiking.
There is also a lovely, well decorated common space / dining space that can be used. A delicious, Japanese style home cooked breakfast is offered here. Credit card and cash accepted.
The hosts - they were the kindest and friendliest people, and made my stay very memorable !! I will definitely come back just to stay here again. I would recommend a little Japanese, but they are very accommodating to English speakers.
Perfect place!
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 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.

We loved being in nature every day.
We loved being in nature every day. Almost wherever you go, you have a view of the mountains and ocean. There are beautiful flowers everywhere. The less demanding hiking trails are interesting and fun and the waterfalls are spectacular. The onsens--especially the ocean onsen--are varied. The residents are friendly and helpful.
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 👏👏👏
My friend and I had an incredible stay at Yakunoyado Taguchi! To begin, the hosts were so kind and accommodating for us even before we got off the ferry. When we had a question about renting a car on the island, the hosts helped reserve a car for us and also picked us up from the ferry port! The hosts also gave us the best recommendations for hiking trails, swimming spots, beaches and places to see monkeys and deer on the island. This rental was the best experience we’ve had on our whole trip and made Yakushima even better!
I slept on an extremely comfortable futon, and was given everything needed to recharge at the end of a long day exploring Yakushima and be prepared for the next one. The staff were incredibly fun and welcoming, and did an excellent job of checking in on every guests itinerary for the day to make sure they had what they needed/knew how to get there and back in one piece. The breakfast bentos and optional lunch bentos were a convenient and filling way to feed an all-day hike. Everything was exceptional.
Everyone there was so unbelievably friendly. The atmosphere was so relaxed and welcoming. Everyone went out of their way to make sure that I was not only comfortable, but that I got as much out of my trip to Yakushima as I possibly could. The building itself was also wonderful! It's a traditional-style building but with many modern touches. It was clean and comfortable and I cannot say enough good things about the staff. I am so happy that I chose this place!
Beautiful home which was spotlessly clean and decorated perfectly to match the surroundings of Yakushima. Yuki was a wonderful host who always had a smile on her face, would ask us about our day and had lots of recommendations. She was also really helpful making reservations for us, etc. We felt truly at home here and will come straight back when we visit Yakushima again.
Lovely self-catering unit with private decking/sitting area perfect to watch the sunset and enjoy the hot tub. The twin beds were comfortable and we enjoyed having a small kitchen. The young girl at the reception spoke perfect English and was very helpful. We definitely recommend this place in Yakushima. You need a car though to get around.
Everything ! Very nice host who lives nearby with his family. Whole house very well equipped. Nice sea view, house surrounded by nature everywhere. It was a bliss for us to stay there for three nights, we definitively felt "at home". Well located vis a vis main tourist spots (yet you would need a car). Excellent value for price.
Daichan House is an incredible place to stay at, and if you're going to Yakushima and plan on staying somewhere budget friendly I could not recommend it more. It is cash only, as is most of the island, so beware of that upon coming, but other than that Daichan is an incredible host, and getting to know him is an absolute joy :>
The host was fantastic and made sure that I had as much information about the activities on the Island as soon as I checked in. She even made me a packed lunch for the 10 hour hike! The hostel itself has a great shabby chic vibe and everyone inside becomes like a family right away.
ありがとございますさとみさん 🤗
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!
The setting is beautiful and the room was very comfortable. It is nice to have a rental car here as it takes a few minutes to drive to town, and the hiking trails are up in the mountains. We had a wonderful time in Yakushima! The owner is also very kind and helpful.
The cottage is clean and well organised. And the owner helped us with driving us to the entrance point for the local peak. You cannot be sure if the taxi is available from nine pm to five am in Yakushima. He is very kind and helpful for such moment hikers.
Everything!
Nice little bathtub in each house. Soothing after a long day hike!
The host is exceptionally friendly and welcoming. I travel alone and she has took good care of me!
Staying here definitely enhanced my experience in Yakushima :)
Rooms were nice, everything was very good. We loved it here. The host has a cute orange cat that welcomed us outside (it doesnt come into the house for people concerned about allergies).
Yakushima was a magical stay for us!
Beautiful house and rooms with good hospitality. Have a beautiful garden w/ BBQ terrace. There are some restaurants and stores around the hotel. Would like to stay at next visit to Yakushima.
Perfectly setted between all Yakushima's attractions. Located in a beutiful sorroundings. The owner Hiro is very helpful and kind with great english. The hostel is super clean.
literally close to toppy boat in Miyanoura. staffs were so helpful as well
it is on the luxury side of hotel, but the big room and ocean view is really worth it
