Beautiful view (stayed in room 301) and to wake up by the sun made such a big impression on the whole day. The minimalistic living (but enough comfort) made me slow down and enjoy the surroundings. I really enjoyed the shower as it has a window with a view as well. The walk to Miyanoura was enjoyable and not too far, and you could take buses the days you were tired.

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.

This accommodation was booked at short notice after jetfoil services were cancelled. The hosts were responsive to my messages and very kind about the check-in time. Although I had not planned to stay here, I am grateful that I was able to do so. The room was very pleasnt with a great view over the ocean. I would certainly consider staying here again, although it is a little way out of town, so travellers with a car might appreciate its charms more.

Conveniently located, bus stop very close. Quite spacious for japanese hotels and very clean. The owners are very kind and helpful.

Host was super helpful and welcoming, despite our language differences. The room was nice and had a great deck and garden space as well.

Vincent Canada

The hosts are very friendly. Breakfast and dinner were very good. Please note to reserve meals 3 days in advance. We only knew by reading the reviews.

Bert Belgium

Super friendly hosts. Early check-in was possible, and he even gave us a lift to the Shiratani Unsuikyo Hiking Trail because we didn't have a car. The view of the ocean is also stunning! (If you stay on Yakushima longer than one day, I do recommend renting a car because busses don't go everywhere, only once per hour I think and stop pretty early in the evening.)

The hospitality and the dinners were excellent. Nice neighbourhood away from the main tourist area. Walking distance from the port (about 15 min).

The apartment looked quite better than on the pictures, nice traditional room with a good small kitchen and a very nice garden. Bed was comfortable.

The location is quiet and beautiful. The view from the room (we had the larger room with the veranda looking out towards the sea) is awesome. The wooden accents of the room made it feel homey and warm. Especially nice to relax after a hike. The owner does not speak very good english but make all efforts to communicate. We appreciate that. Google translate is very useful here. Service is prompt and polite. Added breakfast for 700 yen per morning per pax. The breakfast is japanese style with small portions but many dishes (like 4-5 dishes) and miso soup and rice. Meals are at the main reception building that is separate from the room we stayed. You can also add dinner for another fee (cannot remember how much), which would be good as shops in Yakushima tend to close early.
