This was my first time staying in a yurt, and Daichan House did not disappoint! Although we arrived well past sunset, Daichan was very energetic and friendly. After showing us around the property, he gave a little history lesson on Daichan House as well as Yakushima. He prepared a laminated booklet with photos and English descriptions. It was fun to talk with Daichan, which we probably did for over an hour. The yurt and shared restrooms were well-maintained. Free hot water, tea, coffee, and a local mikan orange were also provided :)

Daichan House is an incredible place to stay at, and if you're going to Yakushima and plan on staying somewhere budget friendly I could not recommend it more. It is cash only, as is most of the island, so beware of that upon coming, but other than that Daichan is an incredible host, and getting to know him is an absolute joy :>

For its price, Daichan House is a wonderful place to stay for anyone looking to spend a lot of time hiking in Yakushima. Daichan himself was incredibly nice and took great care of me, even driving me to the supermarket to help me prepare for my hiking trips. Without his help, advice and preparation, I would not have had nearly as much of an amazing trip as I did. The location is barely a 20 minute walk to the bus bound for Arakawa, which has an incredible trail that is definitely worth exploring. Seriously consider booking here if you come to Yakushima!

Daichan did a phenomenal job of making sure that I could use the public transportation correctly in order to reach the destinations I wanted to reach. Overall clean, and easy to use all amenities.

Great location close to the bus stop. Daichan is very friendly and helpful! He gave me a lot of good advice about the island and various hiking trails and drove me to local restaurants for dinner. He also shared a lot of interesting history. I really enjoyed my stay.

Location is really close (3km) from trekking bus station for Jumon-sugi. Even though the photos of room looks little cramped but is actually spacious.

Absolutely exceptional service from the owners - there was an issue with double-booking as we booked very last-minute on the day due to a change in personal circumstances but the owners were kind enough to provide us with makeshift camper beds in their own living room as it was already 8pm (and completely dark) and alternative accommodation was essentially impossible. They provided us with exceptional service despite our last-minute booking mistake and really went above and beyond. Cannot recommend their place enough BUT PLEASE BOOK PROPERLY AHEAD OF TIME (don't make the same mistake as us!)

The owners are very friendly. As I didn’t have a car they would help me schedule my day with bus timings one day before which was very cool. They would also drive me to and back local restaurants in the evening and the recommendations have been on point.
