Everything is great! Barbara is an amazing host, she makes sure that you understand everything and she creates a healthy atmosphere. It is also very easy to talk with people and would recommend for people traveling alone. The old architecture gives the place a magical atmosphere.

The room was very cosy and comfortable, the bathrooms clean and functionally equipped with everything you could possibly need. The owners were nice and helpful, even though they spoke Japanese, they explained the bus, the hiking possibilities and gave us food recommendations. The location is perfect, 20 minutes walk from the ferry terminal and close to the restaurant and bus stop so you don't need a car. The breakfast is Japanese but adequate.

The owner is super nice person! She helped me to plan my trips, she gave me bus time schedule, she offered to prepare home made onigiri and tea every day so I had a snack for my trips. She knows some basic words in English but she can easily translate everything with the Google Translator. Almost all parts of the house are shared, very friendly atmosphere. Toast bread and coffee/tea are available for a breakfast. There is only one restroom and bathroom but I never had a problem to get there. Great location next to the airport and bus stop and drug store. Not noisy, its almost like in the forest.

The little pension is run by a lovely grandma and grandpa. Very welcoming, even though there was a language barrier, as they do not speak English, we managed to get the point across via translation apps. They offer yummy breakfast and can prepare nice bento for you if you ask for it for lunch. The location is great, near the airport, however car is optimal for the best experience. The location of the pension is close to all of the main routes and key activities. We were staying in the private bathroom room and were happy with the facilities.

The property felt like home away from home. It was very spacious, cozy, and comfortable, and had all amenities you could possibly need. It was also extremely inexpensive considering the location and what is included. If you are planning on hiking the Arakawa Trail to see the Jomon Sugi, the location (Anbo) is about as close as you can get to the bus stop that takes you to the trail entrance (only a 6 minute local bus ride). The owners were also extremely kind to us all throughout, and the local restaurant (Kamogawa) that they run, which is right next to the property, was very tasty and affordable. (There are plenty of other good restaurants nearby too.) They even have an early-morning bento service for hikers (we got ours at 4:30). Overall a tremendously pleasant experience.

The location is quiet and beautiful. The view from the room (we had the larger room with the veranda looking out towards the sea) is awesome. The wooden accents of the room made it feel homey and warm. Especially nice to relax after a hike. The owner does not speak very good english but make all efforts to communicate. We appreciate that. Google translate is very useful here. Service is prompt and polite. Added breakfast for 700 yen per morning per pax. The breakfast is japanese style with small portions but many dishes (like 4-5 dishes) and miso soup and rice. Meals are at the main reception building that is separate from the room we stayed. You can also add dinner for another fee (cannot remember how much), which would be good as shops in Yakushima tend to close early.

Lovely guest house with incredibly friendly hostess! It is simple, yet love everything and every moment there! The lady who runs the guest house is extremely nice and helped me book the boat when my initial plan went wrong. I felt home and I also made good friends there. The airport and a supermarket are close by, just 5 minute walk. Free washing machine which is a plus after doing a hike. Will surely come back again!

Satomi was an incredible host and very helpful throughout the stay. She helped me plan all my hikes and because of her I managed to do the 3 main hikes on the island in my 3 days on Yakushima. I have never had a greater host at a guesthouse. The building has a very fun and quirky interior, it really feels like you are staying in Japanese house. The bed was comfortable enough for me.
