Designed by a locally famed architect, Cottage Views is a private cottage situated in south of Yakushima. It features a terrace, garden and barbecue facilities. Free WiFi is available.

There is a kitchen equipped with a fridge, toaster, rice cooker, electric kettle and kitchenware at Views Guest House.

The location was amazing and the views made me want to go back. We stayed here while we did a lot of hiking in the UNESCO World Heritage Site. It felt like a home away from home on a beautiful island. When we got there we were given some of the best orange juice I've ever had and a rundown of everything that we had available in the cottage. There were fruit trees outside and they kept our little bowl of fruit full of oranges we happily ate on our hikes. We were there over christmas and they left homemade orange ice cream in our freezer while we were out. It was so sweet of them and gave us something to celebrate with after dinner. The kitchen was set up so we could easily make our meals with cute setups for us to eat with. When we would get back after our hikes it was nice to have the bath to relax in after making dinner. The futons were quite comfortable and the view of the stars we a lovely treat to wake up to in the night. I hope we can get back here whenever we return to Japan!

    Very good option as Cottage Kutsuroki are standalone bungalows so no noise issues at all. Extra convenience of car parked right at door, easy to load suitcases etc. Very good well stocked kitchen and finally, after days of thin futon beds, nice to have “normal” mattress beds to sleep on! Good heating. Nice shower and bath adequate. Very good location at Anbo

    We loved everything! The cottage is really great, the hot tub on the balcony is soo nice and the staff is awesome! They went beyond and above and we felt really welcome here! We even got a daily local surprise which was really great and delicious! The location was perfect for us, not in the city and you could enjoy the island and the quiet surrounding. I would recommend to go by car as we felt this make it more convenient (but maybe only personal preference). All in all, we can only recommend staying here when visiting Yakushima.

    Lovely cottage in the woods! Great location near to the key sights and hosts are extremely thoughtful…everything—literally everything—was provided except a Zojirushi rice cooker. The accommodation seemed new too, and was spotlessly clean. We saw a shooting star on our last night there near our porch and it was simply magical!
