absolutely lovely. The lady who runs to please take very good care of her guests you get all the necessary information you need to get around on the island. I managed to miss my last bus in the National park and she tried to contact me and was ready to call Mountain police because she takes really good care, very nice lady! Thank you so very much! Beautiful island with very nice people

Right next to the airport, and in the middle of the two main attractions on Yakushima. The owner is amazing, and so are the other guests. The beds are very comfortable and the Japanese bath is a nice addition, after a long day of hiking! Would highly recommend staying here!

The host was absolutely lovely! Even though she knew limited English, she tried her best and was extremely charming and welcoming. The facilities are very clean and it was easy to meet and socialise with the other guest. The bathroom is very good too, and you could use the shower if you're not comfortable with the Japanese bath culture of using the same water. Plus, cats are very cute too!

I can not recommend the guesthouse more, absolutely wonderful host and guests. Truly felt like a second family on a subtropical island. We went to a local restaurant with all the guests, and afterwards I went lobster fishing with the other guests. And the hostess helped me plan my second day on the island as well. I truly wish I could have stayed for longer, and I am looking forward to the time I can return.

The cosy, family feel of the place made my stay in Yakushima. The lady running the place was so nice and she prepared Onigiri for guests who had planned hikes on the island, which was really convenient. She also plans your sightseeing with you if you want, as she knows the bus schedules and the different things to see quite well. Met some really nice people at the guest house and shared an amazing hot pot on the last night. Tomarigi made my stay in Yakushima. Also, theres a supermarket about 5 minutes away by foot, which was really convenient.

The atmosphere created by Tomarigi. You cannot avoid interacting with others and Tomarigi encourages it. As soon as I sat down on arrival she was helping me with schedule. She helped get me a car rental and was always on hand to assist make calls on my behalf. She saw me walking down the road and asked if it was me and gave me a lift to the digs. It was the best and most welcoming place I stayed in Japan. Going back at some point and will stay in touch with those I met. Enjoyed great company and meals together

Satomi-san is the best woman! She was so nice and friendly with everybody, she creates special atmosphere of this place. She made me onigiri for hiking, but they were so big, that I finished just one. I’m so sorry…😬 When I have just arrived to Tomarigi, I was a bit sad and tired, but in the end of my stay it was like to live in a family. Can’t wait to come back and see Satomi-san again 🙃

The atmosphere is so welcoming and friendly! The host is so kind and lovely and everyone makes an effort to communicate across language barriers. Good location for the bus route and helpful advice on travel.

A very short walk from the airport. Host-San is lovely. She’ll help you figure out what to do on the island and how to get there! Very very friendly and kind. There is a bus, and with help, you can figure out which one to take and at what time. My only suggestion would be if you can rent a car, do so. The bus does visit a lot of locations. But a car would make the experience a lot better. Especially if you only have a day or two
