Minshuku Satomachi is set in Yakushima, 16 km from Yakusugi Land, 29 km from Shiratani Unsuikyo, as well as 32 km from Jomon Sugi. It is located 1.9 km from Harutahama Beach and offers a shared kitchen. The country house provides rooms with air conditioning, free private parking and free WiFi.

Very helpful staff even though we arrived quite late, very sweet and charming lady who helped us order food for the very long hike of the day after (saved our day!). She also had many recommendations flyers about the hike, even though she didn't speak English, we appreciated this a lot! Great place to leave early for Jomon sugi 👍

    I really enjoyed staying at Satomachi. It's geared up for hikers so don't expect luxury, but it has everything you need including a fully equipped kitchen. As noted in other reviews, the landlady is incredibly nice and attentive. It's right by the river and 5 min walk from the nearest bus stop. The place also seems to be a bit of a local institution. Everyone in town knew it.

    It was very clean and quiet and comfortable. Our host Barbara was amazing. she was very hospitable and very friendly. We had a cracking view over the river. It’s close to a couple of beaches so you can find one for swimming and snorkelling. There are lots of cool fish! Will definitely stay again if we return to Yakushima.

    Good location quite close to the port and next to the bus stop. Quite a quiet location and the futon were relatively soft too.

    Walking distance from Miyanoura port and just opposite the bus stop to everywhere 😁 Quiet, clean. They would clean my room everyday and even change the bedding. The owner is very nice. He knows the bus timetable by heart and offered hiking poles, gloves, tankan fruit and everything I needed :) Nice and clean shower too, and free access to washing machine, which is a big plus in Yakushima! Did I mention the extra soft duvet and comfy bed?

    Really comfortable, clean, and excellent value accommodation. Quiet and peaceful area. Moderate walk from Miyanoura (~30 minutes, pathed and lit) or very short drive (~5 minutes). There's a bus stop a few minutes walk from the property with several buses a day going to Miyanoura and beyond (e.g. Anbo). I would love to stay here again, though next time I would hire a car to make it easier to travel without being constrained by buses.

    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 !

    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!
