The warm preparation for guests who have just finished the courses. The front desk staff were friendly and helpful. Breakfast was fair enough. There's a mini store to buy fruits and drinks just located opposite the hotel.

Very friendly host. The cottage was very clean, with comfortable beds. The location is great, walking distance to a fantastic restaurant. Could not ask for a better stay in Yakushima, it made our short stay on the island unforgettable!

The staff was really helpful. The guesthouse is in the middle of nowhere BUT the scenery around is beautiful and you have a bus stop nearby as well as a cafe which is really nice. Because there isn't many buses and shops around the guesthouse provides food and bento to buy at a reasonable price so you don't have to stress about that !
The bedroom was clean and confortable as well as the common space.
I recommend :)

The hosts are truly welcoming and friendly, going to great lengths to make the hotel feel like a home. The breakfast is delicious and filling, and there are great restaurants nearby for dinner.
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 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.
What can I say, this is THE place to stay on Yakushima Island. The owner has thought of quite literally everything to ensure a comfortable stay. The general store with vending machines, laundry and a room that is exceptionally well equipped. Additionally he helped me book a morning taxi for the Mt Miyanoura walk (as the island was booked out of rental cars). I thoroughly enjoyed my stay and would recommend to everyone, you won't be disappointed. Also very very close to the bus stop and a pleasant 20min walk into Anbo.
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.
I slept on an extremely comfortable futon, and was given everything needed to recharge at the end of a long day exploring Yakushima and be prepared for the next one. The staff were incredibly fun and welcoming, and did an excellent job of checking in on every guests itinerary for the day to make sure they had what they needed/knew how to get there and back in one piece. The breakfast bentos and optional lunch bentos were a convenient and filling way to feed an all-day hike. Everything was exceptional.
Amazing scenery and great facilities. I stayed in the female dorm, everything was clean and well maintained. I also loved the communal kitchen with free tea and coffee and an outside terrace.
It is close to the bus stop and you can get to all the main attractions on Yakushima, including an early bus connection to the Jomon Sugi trail, but you feel surrounded by nature.
Also the owner Hiro-san is very friendly, speaks good English and a bit of French and gave me good information on what to visit.
The location's pretty great, close to Miyanoura Port, if you're arriving by ferry. It's a bit of a trek from the airport though, but not a problem if you have a rental car (which you really should if you're visiting Yakushima). It's within walking distance to a bunch of good restaurants, and the owners are really nice and friendly. There is also an adorable cat named Moro that lives on the premises and demands head scratches.
The amazing island Yakushima along with its friendly people. We had an amazing experience for our last stop of our honeymoon trip to Japan. We rented a car for the days we were staying and this is really recommended since you're able to explore and see much more of the island. Shouji-san and Mami-san were super kind and we facilitated us in every way possible. Thank you so much for an unforgettable trip!
I had a wonderful time staying at Daichan house.
The host helped me finishing my hiking plan. Drove me to the nearest grocery store and also helped me to buy the correct bus ticket for Jomon sugi hike. Again, thank you very much !!!
The accomodation on itself was perfect for me : It's clean and quiet.
I recommend this accomodation for any travelers in Yakushima !
The location is great! From this guest house, you can easily go to popular destinations(Jomon-Sugi, and Shiratani unsuikyo) with public transportation options and rental cars.
Also there are great restaurants in walkable range.
Moreover, the host is super kind and he can tell lots of things about Yakushima travel!(you better be good at speaking Japanese)
An absolutely amazing experience. The host was extremely friendly and helped us organise our time on Yakushima including organising prepared lunches for us to take, and advising us of buses and ferries we should aim to get. Alongside this, the food was phenomenal and the accommodation was clean, comfortable, quiet and relaxing. Recommended extremely highly.
It is a walking distance from Miyanoura port and from airport bus directly goes to that port quite offen. The staff are very helpful, and they did they best to assist me when I needed help.
Breakfast has a lot of options, and they offer lunch pack for people who want to go hiking very early and can not have breakfast at the hotel.
Everything ! Very nice host who lives nearby with his family. Whole house very well equipped. Nice sea view, house surrounded by nature everywhere. It was a bliss for us to stay there for three nights, we definitively felt "at home". Well located vis a vis main tourist spots (yet you would need a car). Excellent value for price.
Close to Anbo Port and restaurants (about a 25-35 minute walk if you don’t have a car). Bus stops conveniently located for trips to Jomon Sugi & YakusugiLand. Ask host or information centre for times and locations. Friendly staff. I recommend at least 3 full days in Yakushima.
Great location. Basic hostel for a good price. Felt quiet at night and the kitchen was good for heating up food.
There was also some rice and noodles available for a small fee which was useful as the nearest shop is a long walk away.
it was very conveniently located near the airport and car rentals. The hotel had a nice onsen facility. The room was spacious, we fell asleep with the sound of river behind our window. it was nice to move ariund the hotel barefoot
Excellent place to use as a bae for operation in Yakushima for exploring the island. Owners are extremely friendly and helpful in planning your stay. Didn't eat any meals there but they looked tasty!
Staff was really kind and helpful. Good location close to the city center and to the port if you travel to Yakushima. Room and bathroom were clean, but the bed was a bit too small (for 2).
this hotel is located in a very good part of the island close to the beach and Shiratani forest
the owner was very helpful. she even offered me to drive me back to the airport for free.
