THE HOTEL YAKUSHIMA ocean & forest, hotel in Yakushima

Located in Yakushima, 6.9 miles from Shiratani Unsuikyo, THE HOTEL YAKUSHIMA ocean & forest provides accommodations with a garden, free private parking and a restaurant.

The room is modern, great ocean view with a big balcony, lost of privacy and the bathtub with ocean view is amazing! The hotel is very nice and the staff did their best to help and answer all our questions. We took a private tour to the famous Moss Forests and we couldn’t have asked for a better guide! She was super knowledgeable and went out of her way to make our hike an unforgettable experience (Mish Higashi). We where able to rent all the hiking gear that we needed for our tour.

Location is absolutely beautiful. Owner Hero-san knows everything about Yakushima & suggested us how to get to the places & times of buses. Last day, he sent us to local home cooking restaurant/Cafe which we thought incredibly charming & food was excellent !

We like the high wooden ceilings of the cottage.Bathroom was nice, all wood, newly remodeled. It was also nice to have a private garden that was away from the road with deck, table, chairs and hammock.

    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.

    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.

    Mr. Nakashima, his wife and their stuff are the Most wonderful poeple. They speak very wenn english, they are always helpful and they can give very Good Information about everything what to do on Yakushima. Transport, Restaurants, hiking spots…. The Little Huts are all build by himself. The location near amnbo ist quite Good. Five minutes to the busstop. But its worth it to hire a car, so you are much more flexible. We had had the Most wonderful stay on Mr, Nakashimas place in our four week journey through Japan. Thank you 👏👏👏

    We had a wonderful stay here in Yakushima, Barbara was an amazing host and really went above and beyond to help us out! The room was very comfortable with a lovely view, and the shared rooms (kitchen/bathroom) had everything we needed during our stay. Isso Beach was a short walk away and was a great place to swim and watch the sunset. There's a bus stop nearby - buses around the island aren't so frequent, but we managed to do everything we wanted to by planning ahead with the timetable. Thanks again! Alex + Gabriella

    This place was amazing! Honestly one of the best places I have ever stayed (and I have travelled a lot.) The hosts are lovely, the cottage and views are breathtaking, and Yakushima is a great place to explore. The cottage has lots of great amenities like an onsen and super comfortable futons. The hosts also went out of their way to help us book dinner (since there aren't many places on the island to eat.) It felt like an old-school airbnb in the best possible way. I cannot recommend this place highly enough.

    The cottage is simple but elegant, decorated with attention to detail but without being tacky. The owner is nice and helpfull. The surrounding area is well-kept and quiet, despite being close to the airport (literally a few minutes by car, maybe 15 or so by foot). Many of the attractions of Yakushima are reachable by car in 30 minutes, making this a perfect base from which to explore the island.

    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.

    The location couldn't be better, it is literally across the street from the airport. Bus stops are very plentiful nearby and the hotel staff is very well versed in showing you exactly which buses you need to get to your destination on the island. They are able to call taxis for you if necessary as well. All around wonderful location and very helpful staff!

    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.

    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 :>

    The property was well maintained and beautifully decorated. The place was very cosy, and there was plenty of parking. The owners were very accommodating and happy to chat with us. We also had a very delicious breakfast and dinner and definitely plan on staying here again when we visit Yakushima.
