As in many places in Japan, the walls are very thin, so you might want to be careful of not being too noisy. And if you have a light sleep, take some ear plugs with you. There is a small "kitchen area" with a microwave, but I saw no tableware apart from disposable chopsticks. It's good for heating up a store-bought-lunchbox if you need to.

It's located in front of one of the bus stops in Miyanoura. It's very convenient to move around and close to the Miyanoura port and tourist information center. The room I stayed in was very comfortable, wide and clean. The receptionist was very kind and accommodating. I could do the check-in procedure earlier since I wanted to take the bus to do one of the trails. She showed me around and took my luggage to the room when it was ready. When I came back from the hike I could go straight to the room to rest and do my laundry.

Lovely room with mountain view, great location right next to a bus stop. Helpfull stuff, they kept our luggage all morning before checkin, and again a couple of hours after checkout. Futon beds were very comfy, the room was clean and just the right size.

Maybe add a clock in the rooms. Other than that it was very comfortable.

The futon was very thin, especially in the middle, which gave me some back pain after sleeping on it for a few nights. There is a dryer but no facilities to hang clothes that can't go into the dryer (like rain coats). So you have to hang them in your room, which leaves stains on the wooden walls.

Very good location, good wifi and parking right next to the building. Bus stop is also right in front of the building. The facilities are simple, but basic standard for japanese guest houses. There are recommendations and pamphlets available for what to do in Yakushima. Also the price is very fair.

Nothing wrong with my stay. The check in was a bit weird since you need to go to an avec building but that's okay! The staff was responsive. The shared bathroom and shared kitchen make it less comfortable than if they were private but that's part of the charm. For the price the value you get is outstanding.

Staff, the kitchen ustensile available i.e. You Get everything you need. The washroom is clean, the room was a traditional old Japanese room with a comfortable bed and good A/C.

Noise from upstairs was an issue.

Very good location. Proximity to a lot of excellent restaurants and a few min walk to bus station. Free parking, spacious room, clean toilets and baths, free towels, clean pantry with fridge, rice cooker, toaster etc. Bentos were also delivered to our room at 03:00 am for us to bring onto the Jomon Sugi hike. Maps and schedules were provided to us at check in. Check in only before 1800. Free luggage storage at the fishing store where we checked in at.

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.

This is not a place for a solo traveler who looks for friends! I thought more solo travelers will stay there since the price was really good. But no... The new building is not near the reception

The place is great Clean, big, good kitchen Free parking. The entrance to the new building is a bit hard with a car
