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.

The food was sublime! Seriously. Everything tasted amazing. The cabins themselves are very high quality. They did not cut corners. Everything you need is in the kitchen and the washing machine worked great too. The private bath with large window was a centerpiece and a soak in the tub was transformative!!

Set 2.5 km from Harutahama Beach, Cottage Kutsuroki offers accommodation with free WiFi and free private parking.

Every unit features a private bathroom and bidet, air conditioning, a flat-screen TV and a fridge.

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

    Staff were extremely friendly, we received a full tour of the cabin on arrival as well as a welcome drink made of locally grown tankan (orange) juice and a dessert on the second night. The cabin was clean, well set up, and comfortable. It is in a quiet location and the outlook was extremely private.

    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 👏👏👏

    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.
