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.

We loved being in nature every day.
We loved being in nature every day. Almost wherever you go, you have a view of the mountains and ocean. There are beautiful flowers everywhere. The less demanding hiking trails are interesting and fun and the waterfalls are spectacular. The onsens--especially the ocean onsen--are varied. The residents are friendly and helpful.
I loved the beautiful view. The room was comfortable and perfect for a solo traveler. I liked that it had a Japanese traditional feel even if it was not a traditional building. it was also nice to have the sentō and the laundry machines to use. I made friends with one of women who worked there and she was so nice and welcoming to me. The owner of the hotel was friendly and brought me around to see some nature highlights. The hotel felt like an extended family. I was here for a week and was very content and I would stay here again.
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?
Kitchen and washing machine is available for free. It was very convenient to be able to wash all the dirty clothes after a long hiking.
Room air conditioner is new and very efficient. Slept very comfortably.
There is a supermarket nearby, which allowed us to buy breakfast and lunch at cheap price.
Luckily there were no other guests staying while we stayed. So we had very pleasant time staying here.
It has a great location overlooking a beautiful river which flows drom the mountains to the sea.
The staff were so friendly, accommodating and knowledgeable about the area. All the equipment and amenities needed to explore the island are available there.
Definitely recommend this hotel for your stay. Not far from all the major places you'll need to visit.
hotel staffs are very kind and the location was so convenient.
Especially one of the staff was so kind that he always open to suggest local spots to visit and these were all so beautiful. (My recommendation was crystal-misaki which was close from the hotel by car). I am just so thankful to the staff all the time (I am so sorry about I didn’t ask him name…,)
Very good location, good wifi and parking right next to the building. Bus stop is also right in front of the building. The facilities are simple, but basic standard for japanese guest houses. There are recommendations and pamphlets available for what to do in Yakushima. Also the price is very fair.
Had all the amenities you'd need at a hostel, and it was a bonus that I was the only one in the female dormitory at the time. Right on top of a restaurant with a couple more nearby and within walking distance across the river. The hostess was lovely, even though I was checking in late.
The guesthouse was clean with shared kitchen, toilet and bathroom. Coffee and washing machine were available for free. Hide, the owner was very kind and helpful. He even dropped me to Miyanoura port. Great value for money. I’ll stay there again if I come to Yakushima again.
The owner Hiro was so kind!! I wish I could’ve stayed longer. His Hostel was one of the cleanest I’ve ever stayed in and it smelled so lovely. Only a 1 hour walk to the senpiro waterfall viewing point, but there is beautiful view of a stream right next to the house.
Excellent place to use as a bae for operation in Yakushima for exploring the island. Owners are extremely friendly and helpful in planning your stay. Didn't eat any meals there but they looked tasty!
The attentiveness of the staff was some of the best I’ve ever had at any hotel in the world I’ve stayed at. Nothing was too big a problem for them. The food at both the restaurants was also superb.
You can't beat the location of this little guesthouse, just two minutes walk from the ferry. Very helfpul host. Comfortable rooms, more like a youth hostel than a hotel but very nice nonetheless.
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.
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.
very friendly staff and capable of speaking English, the hotel administration procedures were simple, facilities were sufficient enough, washing machines were provided at low charges.
Spacious, comfortable, relaxing and welcoming. A stylish and practical base for exploring Yakushima. It was great for two of us but would also be perfect for a larger group.
Miki, the host, made a wonderful breakfast every morning with local Yakushima produce! She was very sweet and helpful with any questions about the island we had. : )
literally close to toppy boat in Miyanoura. staffs were so helpful as well
it is on the luxury side of hotel, but the big room and ocean view is really worth it
