Yuki was an incredible host. We would absolutely stay the Pension Blue Drop again when we visit Yakushima again! The beds were extremely comfortable, the facility was beautiful and Yuki gave us great information about things to do in the area. Definitely opt in to the meals there, as they are DELICIOUS!

Our stay was amazing. Yuki, the owner, helped us with planning hiking trips and booking the ferry. So no worries at all. She reserved us a rental car and the pick up was easy peasy

We loved our four nights at Pension Blue Drop! Yuki is such a nice person and host. She recommended us what to visit on the island, helped with ferry tickets and car rental, made us great breakfast and lunch boxes which we enjoyed when hiking the beautiful forests of Yakushima, and greeted us with a warm smile everytime we met her. The beds of Yuki's pension were very comfortable (also for tall people ;)) and the room was spacious and clean, bathroom was clean and spacious, shampoo smelled great, the washing machine cleaned our clothes, and the location was perfect to explore this magical island. We would definitely come back to Yuki's place.

We spent three nights at Pension Blue Drop and it was a great experience. We had all the meals there (Breakfast, lunchboxes, Kaiseki dinner) because we are vegetarian and didn't want the hassle of looking for food around the island. So glad we did this! Yuki is an exceptional host and her freshly prepared food was incredibly delicious (fruit and vegetables from the garden, and every day there was at least something we haven't tried before). Even though a car is recomended we didn't have one, but the bus stop is only 2 min on foot. We were prepared that there aren't that many buses, but with Yuki's instructions it was easy to do two daytrips from there to Oko Waterfall and Yakusugi Land. If we come to Yakushima again, we would definitely stay at Pension Blue Drop.

One of the highlights of our trip to Japan. Yuki reserved ferry & car for us, which was fantastic. She also gave us loads of tips to make the stay more enjoyable. Food was excellent. Do rent a car if you can, makes getting around the island a lot easier.

Beautiful home which was spotlessly clean and decorated perfectly to match the surroundings of Yakushima. Yuki was a wonderful host who always had a smile on her face, would ask us about our day and had lots of recommendations. She was also really helpful making reservations for us, etc. We felt truly at home here and will come straight back when we visit Yakushima again.

The host was so friendly - she reserved a car for us and gave us tips what we could do on Yakushima. We also got delicious food. We really enjoyed our time there.

Amazing and very forthcoming host solving your problems even before you know you have them. We also really enyjoyed the homemade dinner i.e. the fresh sashimi made out of the catch of the day. Yuki's English knowledge is of great help to make the best out of your stay. Also meeting other guest in the meeting room was really nice to exchange travel experiences.

Pension Blue Drop is an unique place within the wonderful island of Yakishima. Yuki, the owner, does not only plan and book your visit, but also provides you with all information and fantastic food. I’ve never experience anything like this before.

Staying with Yuki was one of the most memorable experiences from our trip to Yakushima. It really felt like home. The beautiful cedar house is so welcoming and perfect to come back to after exploring the island. Our room was lovely, very spacious and opened to the garden. We ate an unforgettable dinner at the home, made by our host. With home grown fruits, vegetables and locally caught fish. The house was easy to get to by bus from the ferry port, and our host went above and beyond to help us when we needed some guidance on navigating the island. The house is a short walk from a lovely bar/restaurant, Hachimans, which we highly recommend. Excellent food, lovely atmosphere, and Karaoke all night! It's a 30 min walk to the ocean onsen which is a must visit (thank you again for loaning me your sarong Yuki!). We hope to visit Yakushima again to do some of the trails we didn't get to and would love to visit Blue Drop again. Thank you for having us! Lee and Reubin x
