The place is amazing. Every little detail that can make guests happy is thought out. The dinner is wonderful. The hotel owner is a chef. They prepared a customized vegetarian dish for me. The shower is wonderful.

The cottage, location, the host- everything was great! The host is a chef and prepared a truly wonderful vegetarian dinner for me. The room is equipped with everything you could possibly think of, and the bathroom is incredibly luxurious

“Great stay”

Lovely spacious cabins . Incredible bath. Wonderful food. Charming hosts.

TIDA offers a wonderful place to stay on the south of Yakushima. The cottages are wonderfully peaceful, the hosts warm and helpful. Very good facilities - great bathroom, lovely wooden building and good, functional kitchen. As other reviews mention Nerome san's food is outstanding.

The houses are very comfortable and well equipped. We absolutely loved Japanese breakfasts. The hosts were very welcoming and helpful. My daughter absolutely loved the goat. Apparently it is not a very easy to tame goat but after 2 days and some carrots it licked her hand ;)

The Hut was actually better than on the photos. The spacious accomodation was really a good change after all these small hotel rooms. The bath tub with view on the sea, the hammock, the provided games, the laundry machine in the hut an the kitchen. Everything works great. Also it's just very close to the famous natural onsen directly at the sea (by foot 20 minutes)

“Wonderful host and hostess in spotless and peaceful little resort”

The couple who hosted us were amazing. They were so kind, friendly and helpful. They went beyond the call of duty to accommodate our needs and requests for help. The cabin was spotless and easily accommodated a family of four adults. The dinner was a multi-course experience and was absolutely wonderful from start to finish. We could walk to the bus stop with ease and could also walk to an onsen, to rock pools and to a convenience store and ATM. The sound of the ocean lulled us to sleep. It was great having a washing machine. And we loved the cat, Nenna 😊 Also loved the shower/bath with a view!

Everything about this place is amazing.

“One-of-a-kind accomodation.”

Every part of our experience at TIDA was brilliant. Nerome-san and Yuko-san were excellent hosts and were very accommodating. The location is exceptional and picturesque, and the food served there is amazing and of a fine-dining standard. The cottage was cozy and well-equipped for everything we needed.

“Best stay in Japan!”

What an incredible place to stay! Three stars does not do this place justice. The view from the rooms alone is priceless and our stay included a private bathtub with sea and treetop views - utter bliss! The owners of the hotel were extremely helpful, warm and inviting in sharing information about the local area and answering any questions we might have. Another stand out was the food which was hands down the best food we'd had of all the stays on our trip around Japan. A place to bathe in the beautiful natural landscape of Yakushima - highly HIGHLY recommend!

“An incredible place to stay in Yakushima! Highly recommended for an unforgettable trip to the island”

Such an incredible place to stay! The cabins themselves are beautifully built and maintained with room enough for four adults if necessary (we stayed as a couple but four single beds are available). The facilities were generous with almost a fully equipped kitchen and a picturesque bathtub overlooking the ocean. All the staff were not only friendly but went out of their way to be generous during our stay. They were so helpful and informative about the hiking and activities. I also highly recommend eating at the restaurant. This was by far the best dinner we’ve had in Japan so far!! There is free parking available (you must have a car to stay here but I would recommend renting a car if visiting Yakushima anyway). Thank you so much for a memorable trip to such a unique area of Japan

I simply loved this place. The small house had everything we needed. A kitchen, large dining area, big bathing room. The was a terrance and the balcony with the view on the ocean. The breakfast was delicious and the owners were amazing. Really recommend although you need to rent a car to get there basically but I thing it's a standard if you want to see the island in general ;)

This place is exceptional. We stayed in a cottage with a stunning view of the ocean, in a very quiet, green and beautiful location. There were a hammock on the terrace, a balcony and a traditional style bath. The whole house is wooden and very cozy. The breakfasts and dinners in Japanese style were amazing, I highly recommend them. They were prepared by the owner of this place. The dessert with matcha on our last dinner (panna cotta with matcha) was exceptionally delicious. The hosts are a very welcoming and friendly couple. We would be happy to return to this place again.

“Great remote island getaway”

Having a whole cottage to ourselves was the perfect couples getaway. From the cutest welcoming party of a cat and baby chickens to the views from the bathhouse and balcony we wont soon forget the amazing time we had here. It was the perfect little home to come back to after a long day of hiking and it has all the amenities you want.

“A little cottage with a beautiful view of the sea!”

Beautiful scenery, clean, kitchen fully furnished, and we all slept very well. The owner, Yuko was very helpful and spoke very good English. Our chalet was cleaned, fresh towels given and rubbish cleared on daily basis. That helps a lot, as we cook.

“Outstanding accommodation in a beautiful location.”

A beautiful hotel with fully equipped cabins that feel like luxury in the countryside. The outdoor bath and hammock feature exceptional sea views. Beds were extremely comfortable. The food was amongst the best we had in Japan, each meal was truly exceptional. The owners are kind and caring, and can offer excellent advice about sightseeing and hikes. Renting a car is a necessity to reach this hotel, but is also highly recommended as the best way to explore Yakushima.

“Yakushima bliss by the sea!”

Outstanding cottage with great views and lovely friendly hospitality. Calm and personal hosts. Attention to detail in spades: we’ll be back!

“Great location with excellent hosts”

Very friendly and welcoming. The cottages are well designed, the beds are extremely comfortable and the location is over looking the ocean. The family that own it are really attentive and we had the optional dinner one night which was incredible and cooked by the owner chef. Easy drive from the airport and to any of the amazing hike trail heads and onsens. Would definitely recommend and would love to stay again!

The food, location, cottage. Owners were great. Good beer. Loved it.

“Excellent”

Extremely friendly and helpful hosts. Excellent meals.
