We stayed in the cottage 5 minutes away, it had everything we needed and the view was beautiful. The staff were excellent, helpful hosts. There was a washing machine and somewhere to hang the clothes with a fan to dry them, a bathtub big enough for two as well as a kitchen. We highly recommend the menu at Takahira Base, super healthy and delicious.

The hotel has a great location, looking over the ocean, the views from the rooms, terrace and bathroom (for the rooms with "sea view") are spectacular. There is a well-stocked supermarket within 5 minutes walk. One can rent hiking gear and buy nicely packed lunch boxes for the hikes. We booked breakfast and dinner, and every evening we were treated with a ~7 course menu, extremely good. It was a totally unexpected positive surprise.

front house attendants are super helpful and friendly. I was so lost when I found out bus services is so little and rent a car is the best way going around the island, by the time I found out this, I was already in the hotel checking in, the girl who helped me the check-in was so helpful that she called the rent-a-car company for me(since I can't speak Japanese) and arranged the rental car to be driven just in front of the hotel, so that I don't have to call taxi to go back and forth to car rental company, isn't she so helpful?! Moreover, she also introduced all the areas, routes, sight seeing places to me which she doesn't have to do it, but she did, I felt like I am taking care of and it felt so good as a alone traveler. The room is spacious, room service is superb, places are clean. Too bad my room is not sea view and I want to eat in the lounge where I can enjoy the sea view but it's closed due to COVID and it's understandable. the view from the hotel area is very good with nice sea view. One more thing I should say is their helpfulness, I need sewing box, they lend it to me, I need adapter, they lend it to me. All in all, you ask and they will fulfill your request to their best.

Staying in this beautiful, comfortable, rustic riverside guest house was one of the most notable moments of my whole travels. The lady that runs it is the sweetest and kindest person I have ever met. The location is absolutely perfect for exploring Yakushima and the Jomonsugi hike. The rooms are comfortable and clean as those of any ryokan, and there are large onsen style baths free to use. You absolutely MUST stay here if you plan on staying anywhere on the island. Its worth every yen.

I only come to climb the mountains. If you like surfing or all kinds of mountains/beachside activities. Should stay longer. The information center, MUST GO!!!! The local bus only has paper information, the digital/ internet information is not as easy to get as in cities.

Yakushima is incredibly beautiful, and because of its designation as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, there are many more accommodations for foreign travellers than other areas of Japan (even on the mainland). The bus routes are very straightforward—especially if you have a single- or multi-day bus pass, but it is much easier to bring or rent a car and simply drive around the island. I particularly enjoy visiting Shinto shrines, and there are a good handful of them on the island, but the main Yaku-jinja is really lovely and right next to the ocean south of Miyanoura port. If you have the chance, I also recommend taking a chopstick-making workshop, or visit the Yakusugi museum and do a hands-on demonstration there. The only major problem is that the main transport to and from the island is by ferry, and if the seas are too rough, the ferries don't operate and you may be stranded for extra time (1 day for me).

Hard to put it in short but it was outstanding.

Hard to put it in short but it was outstanding. Arrive by fery from Kagoshima and took a flight back to Tokyo. 4 wonderful days full of hiking, nature, view, stunning waterfalls wildlife, forest with 2000 years old Cedars trees., beach, sand and more. We visited the island on Dec. It is off season so need to understand what this means. From one hand we were alone on all hiking, trails, outdoor onsen...just perfect. On the other hand, most coffee, restaurants are closed. You must make sure you either take hotel with meals or like use, a house we could cook in. And it was a big success.

Yakushima is a small Japanese Galapagos.

Yakushima is a small Japanese Galapagos. The 22km hike along the disused railway line to the cedar tree was incredible. Buy your bus tickets the day before at the information center outside the airport and get there early! We arrived at 4:45am to catch the bus and there was already a queue. Heaps of waterfalls to see and wildlife (deers and monkeys). The 15km one way drive along the west coast is amazing and nerve wrecking at the same time when another car approaches. Lots of reversing. Highly recommend but also note that it rains a lot which makes it a tropical paradise.

You really need to rent a car, and be sure to do so before your trip! Once I got there all the taxis were booked for the next few days and most every rental car was as well, I went to like 4 different places before finally finding a car. Totally changed my trip once I was driving around - I was nervous to drive on the left side for the first time (I'm American) but it was not bad at all! They go very slow there. Make sure you go to the ocean onsens on the south side of the island, that was one of my favorite parts! I went 4 nights which was enough to see almost everything I wanted, but I would've loved to spend more time there too. It was always my dream destination and I am so thankful to have gone, absolutely beautiful and totally different from the rest of Japan, or anywhere else I've ever been.

Lush, green, off the beaten track.

Lush, green, off the beaten track. We loved the hiking, nature and kind people in Yakushima. Could have stayed longer than three nights to explore more trails. Don't be afraid to eat a flying fish -- "wings" and all. Renting a car makes it easier to get around, but we chose to stick with public transit, walking and taxi which was fine, if a bit limiting.

I enjoyed my stay at Minshuku Satomachi. The guesthouse location is good: you can take the local bus to the airport or the Nature Museum on the way to Arakawa trail; the bus stop is about 5-7 minutes on foot from the guesthouse. The host is polite and friendly, and all the amenities have been provided. Price/Quality ratio met my expectations. Nice choice for those who want to save some money and have a pleasant stay on Yakushima.

The cottage is in a great location very close to the airport, super cute with lots of space and Mr Nakashima and his team are really lovely and went out of their way to make sure we had everything we needed, helping us to rent a car, order a bento for our hikes and also even arranging to send some souvenirs we accidentally left in the rental car as well. Wonderful stay, highly recommend to anyone visiting Yakushima!

They are super nice and the place is super clean. The owner Shigeru-san picked me up from the pier and gave me useful advice for my trip. The next day, I joined Shigeru-san's day tour and he showed me the best parts of Yakushima. I didn't do much researches about Yakushima and it turned out much more beautiful and interesting than I expected. I was so glad that I chose to stay here.

Yakusugi house is a great place to rest after a day of exploring Yakushima. It's a short drive from the port, supermarket and restaurants. The kitchen is well stocked and there is a washing machine and dryer. The host provided us western beds which were very comfy. We enjoyed spending our evenings under the kotatsu listening to the frogs outside.

Friendly hosts, clean rooms and wonderful food. Remains the best food I’ve had in Japan after 2 months there! It’s also very chilled but social - you sit with other guests to eat breakfast and dinner. I’d recommend renting a car to get around the island. I used a company called YES Yakushima who arranged my ferry tickets and car rental.
