Very nice room and gives cabiny vibes when staying here. Hanging mat to enjoy the sunrise or sunset on the balcony. Great place to stay if you’re going to Yakushima. It’s also walkable from the ferry terminal in miyanouri but a car would be recommended.

Amazing Jungle island to go on hikes and it has some gorgeous waterfalls especially in spring when the rain season is there. There are also some amazing beaches to chill across the island with great views

Yakushima is a beautiful island with amazing views.
Yakushima is a beautiful island with amazing views. The island is quiet and not touristy at all. Most things are closed on Sundays and don’t chose Yakushima if you want to go shopping or night life (it doesn’t exist). If you want great hiking, beautiful views and a touch of peace and quiet it’s a great place to go. Rent a car. Definitely worth it to tour the island and some of the inland roads (be warned they are very narrow and slow moving in many places, and you will need to reverse a lot for others to pass) It was a great way to see the island all its beauty and tons of monkeys.

Shiratani Unsuikyo was breathtaking.
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...
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.
Absolutely stunning place! Large cottage overlooking the water, with unit bath inside and a beautiful outdoor tub on the deck! This was an amazing base for our nights on the island.
Staff were just wonderful, providing comprehensive tourist information, and personal recommendations based on our planned itinerary.
I wholeheartedly recommend this location, and would not hesitate to re-book if we visit Yakushima again in the future.
The location is stunning. We booked a room with an ocean view and it did not disappoint. The breakfast was delicious, and the hotel packed us bento boxes to take with us on hike. We made good use of the shoe dryer in the room too since we got soaked on said hike. Our stay was a bit of a splurge for us, but it was well worth it. The staff spoke English and we were able to fill in any gaps with a translation app.
The amazing island Yakushima along with its friendly people. We had an amazing experience for our last stop of our honeymoon trip to Japan. We rented a car for the days we were staying and this is really recommended since you're able to explore and see much more of the island. Shouji-san and Mami-san were super kind and we facilitated us in every way possible. Thank you so much for an unforgettable trip!
I loved absolutely everything about this property, it was a relaxing atmosphere, the breakfast provided were delicious and big portions, and the host went out of her way to ensure that I had everything for my stay. She helped make restaurant reservations, massage bookings, and gave advice on areas of the island to visit. Would definitely stay again!!!
Clean guesthouse and in a beautiful location. Hiro was incredibly helpful and knowledgeable with planning routes and transport. Some food can be purchased at very reasonable price which you cook yourself. Other guests were very nice and friendly. The whole island is beautiful and people are incredibly kind and welcoming.
Good location, the bus station is right outside and it's near to supermarkets. The guest house has maps and bus timetables available, there is a shared kitchen and equipment for cooking your own food, with washing facilities. Staff are friendly, and our room was clean and comfy too. A great base for exploring Yakushima!
Phenomenal location with convenient access to restaurants, grocery stores, rental services, and Shiratani Unsuikyo. The owner was a very helpful guide and provided lots of good advice and guidance around the island.
The Guesthouse atmosphere was relaxed and also made for easy and enjoyable connections between guests.
The service was really good. The owner took half an hour to talk to us and explain things. He explained some interesting facts about Yakushima and so on. This is just a different experience and you should accept it as such. It might not be a hotel, but it was a pleasant experience looking back. I recommend it.
The owners were so kind and helpful, even drove us to a couple of places.
The breakfast is big and tasty.
The facility is clean and pretty, makes you feel comfortable.
The bathroom + showers are big and enjoyable.
Would definitely go back if I ever return to Yakushima.
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.
Very nice room and gives cabiny vibes when staying here. Hanging mat to enjoy the sunrise or sunset on the balcony. Great place to stay if you’re going to Yakushima. It’s also walkable from the ferry terminal in miyanouri but a car would be recommended.
Location was nice and central to the sights we wanted to see. Ryo san was very helpful and welcoming and would definitely recommend anyone visiting Yakushima to stay here. Ryo san helped us organise bento boxes before our hike which was very handy.
The accommodation is 2min walking distance to the ferry.
The staff was very kind and accommodating, providing all the necessary info to get around.
7 min walking distance from this place is a supermarket, which we used every day.
Barbara was such a great host, recommending places to visit on Yakushima and so knowledgeable. The property is in a small town on the North Coast of Yakushima, very quiet and peaceful. Thanks for such an amazing time!
A truly special accommodation! Owners are very kind, helpful and detail oriented. The home and property are beautiful and make a great base for exploring the island while also enjoying a relaxing stay.
The cottage had everything that was needed and even more. Every room had a view of the lovey garden and ocean.
We were able to rent a vehicle from them for our entire stay on the island.
