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.

Cottage Morinokokage, hotel in Yakushima

At Cottage Morinokokage, guests can rent out a cottage with a hammock. Free WiFi is available in the guest rooms.

Our host Mr Nakashima was very kind and generous during our stay. He always replied to our messages via bookings.com very quickly, so it was easy to ask any questions and get help whenever we needed. When we had to change our travel dates and book a different room for the last day, he was very understanding and went the extra mile to assist us in transferring our luggage to the new room. Needless to say, the cottages themselves were adorable and lovely! Very clean and spacious, and the beds were comfortable. The best thing is the shoe dryer machine provided in the room. Because it rains so much in Yakushima, that device was invaluable in preparing our footwear for another day of adventure as they would be dry in no time! On the only one clear night we experienced, we were able to see some stars outside the room. The atmosphere is peaceful and you can hear birds chirping in the morning. It rained almost every day we visited, and yet we truly enjoyed our time in Yakushima thanks to the warm welcome from his family & colleagues, and appreciate all the help (especially advising us on the correct port to go for our departure ferry).

Minnsyuku Yakushimaya, hotel in Yakushima

Minnsyuku Yakushimaya enjoys a location in Yakushima, 23 miles from Yakusugi Land and 9.4 miles from Jomon Sugi.

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.

Yakunoyado Taguchi, hotel in Yakushima

Located in Yakushima, 7.5 mi from Shiratani Unsuikyo, 屋久の宿 たぐち features rooms with air conditioning.

The host made a reservation of a rental car on behalf of us at the peak season, which greatly helped us. We had breakfast every day (1,800 yen per person) during our stay and they were great. The dishes include grilled mackerel/salmon, several cooked vegetables/sea weeds, soup, and yogurt. We also had a nice dinner (3,200 yen per person) including grilled amberjack, amberjack sashimi, smoked mackerel, and braised pork belly.

    Yakushima is a beautiful island with amazing views.

    Yakushima is a beautiful island with amazing views. The island is quiet and not touristy at all. Most things are closed on Sundays and don’t chose Yakushima if you want to go shopping or night life (it doesn’t exist). If you want great hiking, beautiful views and a touch of peace and quiet it’s a great place to go. Rent a car. Definitely worth it to tour the island and some of the inland roads (be warned they are very narrow and slow moving in many places, and you will need to reverse a lot for others to pass) It was a great way to see the island all its beauty and tons of monkeys.

    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.

    This was my first time staying in a yurt, and Daichan House did not disappoint! Although we arrived well past sunset, Daichan was very energetic and friendly. After showing us around the property, he gave a little history lesson on Daichan House as well as Yakushima. He prepared a laminated booklet with photos and English descriptions. It was fun to talk with Daichan, which we probably did for over an hour. The yurt and shared restrooms were well-maintained. Free hot water, tea, coffee, and a local mikan orange were also provided :)

    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.

    Having stayed in a lot of hotels, it was really nice to have a whole cottage to ourselves, where we didn't have to worry about noisy neighbours. The beach was just a 30 minute walk with an amazing coastline view. Good local restaurants & quite close to the bus route. The staff & the meal we ordered were outstanding & they even had a massage pillow in the room which was fantastic after a long hike 😍😌

    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.

    We had a Japanese style room facing the river. The hotel is conveniently located next to a bridge which leads into the centre of Anbo. The accommodation has laundry and drying facilities suitable for a hiker and a public bathing room. Would stay here again!
