THE HOTEL YAKUSHIMA ocean & forest, hotel in Yakushima

Set in Yakushima, 11 km from Shiratani Unsuikyo, THE HOTEL YAKUSHIMA ocean & forest offers accommodation with a garden, free private parking and a restaurant.

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.

    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.

    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.

    What can I say, this is THE place to stay on Yakushima Island. The owner has thought of quite literally everything to ensure a comfortable stay. The general store with vending machines, laundry and a room that is exceptionally well equipped. Additionally he helped me book a morning taxi for the Mt Miyanoura walk (as the island was booked out of rental cars). I thoroughly enjoyed my stay and would recommend to everyone, you won't be disappointed. Also very very close to the bus stop and a pleasant 20min walk into Anbo.

    Gotta love Yakushima and I would probably stay here again if I returned. I really enjoyed having a beer looking out my window, down the river to the mysterious looking mountains. It was really cool! I had a comfortable stay after an adventuous day. It was handy to have a good start to the day with the provided breakfast and there are some great dinner options a short walk across the bridge or the place next door on the river. I really enjoyed my stay in Yakushima and would happily stay here again if I returned.

    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.

    The hotel has a great location, looking over the ocean, the views from the rooms, terrace and bathroom (for the rooms with "sea view") are spectacular. There is a well-stocked supermarket within 5 minutes walk. One can rent hiking gear and buy nicely packed lunch boxes for the hikes. We booked breakfast and dinner, and every evening we were treated with a ~7 course menu, extremely good. It was a totally unexpected positive surprise.

    The owner was so helpful that he even explained meticulously everything to me about going around Yakushima. As a first time tourist in the Island, I just did everything he told me especially going to Shiratani and it was perfect. I stayed only for a night but I felt like I've experienced a lot of things already. Thank you so much Hiro san. I hope to see you again soon maybe around August.

    1 Traditional Japanese style rooms 2 Very friendly owner that helped me plan my hike : For at least 1 hour together we looked at the possibilities because public transport is very limited on the island. No question was to much to ask 👍🏻. 3 The hostel is located very close to the ferry terminal and a bus stop is just around the corner. There is also a big supermarket nearby.

    I had a wonderful time staying at Daichan house. The host helped me finishing my hiking plan. Drove me to the nearest grocery store and also helped me to buy the correct bus ticket for Jomon sugi hike. Again, thank you very much !!! The accomodation on itself was perfect for me : It's clean and quiet. I recommend this accomodation for any travelers in Yakushima !

    This was the best place I stayed on my 1-month trip to Japan, despite only spending 1 night. The house gives a homely feel, is super clean, and is located about 15/20 min drive from Miyanoura port. The kindness of the host and her helpers was second-to-none, and I would recommend to any traveller looking to escape the hotel/hostel scene.

    It's in a good location - right near the ferry and some restaurants. The bathroom was clean. There were two little rooms, one for men and one for women. There was never anyone else in the bathroom when I needed it. There is a kitchen that has a fridge and a microwave and some plates and bowls. The old woman who runs it is kind.

    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.

    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!

    Very nice ryokan and perfect location : near the ferry port, and at 5min of a bus stop to take you everywhere on the island. The host explained to me everything and helped me organise my stay in Yakushima. He was so nice ! (And the bath was perfect after a day hiking!)

    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.

    It's cheap and in Aso which makes transport by bus a lot easier (especially if using the high speed ferry to Anbo). If you only have a short stay on the island, stay either in Anbo or Miyanoura.
