“If I come back to Yakushima, I would Stay here again :)”

Room Design and breakfast

“Easy place to stay with no frills. The futon beds were suprisingly comfortable”

Easy place to stay with no frills. The futon beds were suprisingly comfortable. A 10 minute walk to the main part of Miyanoura Port.

“Lovely stay for our first night in Yakushima”

The old couple running the Minshuku are really cute and friendly. I loved the wood features of the hotel which made the atmosphere so warm. Highly recommended!

I loved staying here and would like to return one day. The room was perfect and the staff friendly though no English. Loved the breaky and onsen. Forgot hiking boots and was able to hire them from the minshuku.

“A very nice base to explore Yakushima”

This is a really nice hotel, if you want to explore Yakushima. The owners are very nice and will help you with any problems, that occur. You should speak japanese though, because the communication in english could be hard. As I speak japanese I can not fully evaluate this though. You can get breakfast and lunchboxes for hiking days from the inn. In theory there is also dinner, but as in many small japanese inns, just like breakfast it can be booked out sometimes. We had both breakfast and lunchboxes and both were absolutely nice and not expensive at all. If you go hiking you might as well rent hiking boots for a small price. The inn has a community bath, that is a traditional japanese bath with showers and a hot bath. You might have to share it, though at later times it is often not used by many customers. We were staying with three people, which can be a bit muggy in one room depending on the weather, but it is still a great inn.

“Perfect for a Short Stay”

Staff were very helpful and friendly. Perfect for our 1-night stay in Yakushima.

Great breakfast

“We would happily stay there again next time”

The meals were excellent, a real treat. They were both tasty and a chance to experience local culture. Even our 12 year old kid enjoyed them. The location was very convenient. We arrived by bus from the port - there is a bus stop right in front of the minshuku - and rented a car for the next few days (convenient parking available in front of the minshuku). The owners are very nice and friendly, though they don't speak much English. Although we were told ahead of time that it is possible to pay only by cash, there was no problem to pay by credit card.

“Traditional (Vintage?) Japanese Experience!”

Wonderful location in a traditional Japanese style hotel. Staff very friendly and loved the onsen shower experience! Fresh towels and yukata every day. Convenient location with bus stop right next door.

“Wonderful place to stay”

Charming minshuku with super helpful staff and very many amenities eg free washing machine and dryer, good onsen, v good meals . My room was spotlessly clean and had a wash basin . The minshuku is about 40 min walk from the port though it’s also on a bus route . There is an Indian restaurant and a large supermarket within easy walking distance .

Very good food. The personnel are very eager to help.

“A comfortable, friendly family hotel, with great staff, good food and good rooms.”

The staff were incredibly helpful, going out of their way to assist with trekking information.

“Overbooked and got sent to another hotel”

Supplies bentos and hiking gear for rent. Staff was very nice

“Very nice ryokan”

Great Japanese breakfast and dinner, nice staff, nice location

Very pleasant and hospitable people. The accomodation contains a lot of facilities (like a small onsen) and information and supplies for discovering the island. Had a very pleasant stay in a large Tatami mat room for 2 persons, would definitely recommend to come again!

Amazing hospitality (the host was sweet and caring), you have everything you need - enough toilets (2 per floor), onsen-style shared bath and all the amenities in the room. Perfect for Yakushima stay. Also, the room is insulated enough to keep off the nasty insects if you don’t open windows.

English speaking. Delicious Japanese style breakfast. The bed was super comfortable. It is possible to order a bento for 600 yen a day before until 7pm.

Amazing breakfast and dinners. Very good value, lovely people

Wonderful bathing facilties, very comfy tatami room with sea view. The staff anticipated what we neeed to know about our hiking plans and even drove us to meet a bus one day. They were generous in many ways.

“I'd recommend it to those looking to do the mountain walks nearby.”

The breakfast was good, a semi-traditional Japanese style. The room was pleasant. Overall a good stay for a few days in Yakushima.
