“Great experience with very friendly hosts”

Very original guesthouse and as I was the only guest there I had plenty of space just for me! With 6 people might be a little tight I suppose Guesthouse host and his wife are very friendly, helping you in finding the good spots of Yukushima and providing you with bus schedules and detailed explanation to yakusugi trail! They also gave me twice roasted potatoes which was really good! Oishi !!!! Thanks a lot again!

Daichan was extremely helpful, explaining bus routes and details of my intended itinerary

“Daichan House is a wonderful place to stay”

Daichan, my host, was very helpful and informative with a great sense of humour. The whole stay suited me very well. The accommodation was in the right sort of location for me, between the mountains and the sea. The style of accommodation was comfortable enough with interesting character. I would love to stay at Daichan House next time I'm in Anbo on the beautiful island of Yakushima.

Everything was fantastic! Could not recommend enough. Yakushima is a magical place and daichan was extremely generous, helpful and kind.

“The most comfortable conditions you can get so deep in the nature!”

The location is perfect for those who arrive to Yakushima through Anbo. It is in the walking distance from the terminal and there is a bus stop nearby, and Daichan-chan will definitely advise you of the proper bus schedule. The nature around is fantastic! This is the most true Mongolian yurta you can get in Japan. Be careful: buy your dinner or breakfast in the port, as you will have to walk 30 minutes to find a supermarket. Pls follow Daichan-chan's recommendations about the bathroom or the doors - you are in the middle of the wild! If I had more time I would definitely stay there for long and talk to the host)))

“Unique experience with a gracious host”

This was a really fun experience with a very welcoming host, who loves a joke. We tried the yurt for something a little different, and enjoyed it. When plans had to change due to bad weather, the host was very gracious in helping us with other options as well as offering to take us around on a little tour. Perfect for backpackers and for those who want to get an authentic feel for the island.

Mikun was really kind and made sure we understood how everything worked. He gave us snacks when we were tired after walks. It was very clean and the beds were very comfortable.

The owner explains me everithing i need to know for my hike. I was alone in the yourte. Very good Hostel

“Worth it just for the host.”

Amazing host. We'll priced especially if you are more than 1. 6 beds in the yurt so cheap for a group.

“Amazing stay that fits very nicely into what Yakushima is as a place”

A stay as special as the island with a host that will anticipate your every need. Very good value for the money it costs. It is not so easy to get there so a car is kind of needed to stay here!

“Comfortable”

Dai-chan was super kind and helpful. He had thought of everything and was a lovely host ensuring we knew all necessary information for our stay. Thank you for our stay.

Daichan is very kind and willing to share a lot of interesting stories. He helped me getting around Yakushima Island and showed me the interesting spots. He has also been very reactive when my ferry got cancelled and I did not know what to do. The tent and the bed were very comfortable, which I wasn't really expecting! There are lots of pictures and documents scattered around the facilities which gives plenty of charm and personality to this place. I can not recommend it enough!

“In sum, although the place is cheap, private, and nicely allocated, I advise potential guests to consider risks of aggre”

I would like to leave an objective review to Daichan’s House. I highly advise people who would stay there to read my review because the host has lots of old reviews that do not reflect the current conditions. From positive, it is cheap and the jurt is private. The location is not far from Anbo, which is a nice location on the South of the island. Also, the host has helped us to orient with the bus schedule (even though calling us sandals, and telling who was raped, we should be very careful, and who grows grass down the road) and has left two guiding books with interesting information about island, restaurants nearby, and busses. The host has as well driven us to supermarket on the first day, thanks him for that.

“Best guesthouse I stayed in Japan!”

Daichan was the kindest host, he gave such detailed instructions to get to the guesthouse when I was still new to Yakushima! As a solo traveller relying on public transportation, he drove me to the supermarket and restaurant, ensuring I was well-fed not just that night but for the next day as well :") Especially during the Obon season, when many restaurants were closed, he called in to help me check if there was anywhere I could have dinner at. Daichan also planned the entire route for my next day, complete with bus timings, which bus stop to wait at, and suggestions for what to do if I had extra time! As for the room, it was my first time staying in a yurt, which was extremely comfortable! The air-conditioning ensured a good temperature despite the rain outside. I also had a television which I could watch.

“never again”

yourte, love mongolia and the yourtes for having been there and lived in one

Daichan is a great host! He was really helpful on the organisation of our trip on Yakushima Island. He has created 2 booklets with his family about all the best from the island including the ways of getting there with the public transport (which was SUPER helpful as the buses don’t run that often). The yurt are really comfortable. AC has a separate cost of 100 yens per 2 hours but otherwise fans are included in all tents. All the installations were really clean.

“Very cool to sleep in a yurt! Nice and helpful staff”

Very nice and helpful host!

wonderful host, who planned my followung day and gave great recommendations!

“Exceptional service and genuine kindness from the owners”

Absolutely exceptional service from the owners - there was an issue with double-booking as we booked very last-minute on the day due to a change in personal circumstances but the owners were kind enough to provide us with makeshift camper beds in their own living room as it was already 8pm (and completely dark) and alternative accommodation was essentially impossible. They provided us with exceptional service despite our last-minute booking mistake and really went above and beyond. Cannot recommend their place enough BUT PLEASE BOOK PROPERLY AHEAD OF TIME (don't make the same mistake as us!)

The owners are very friendly. As I didn’t have a car they would help me schedule my day with bus timings one day before which was very cool. They would also drive me to and back local restaurants in the evening and the recommendations have been on point.
