I had a wonderful stay at this beautifully preserved 96-year-old Japanese-style house in Yakushima. The traditional atmosphere is incredibly charming, and you can truly feel the history and care that’s gone into maintaining the home. Everything was exceptionally clean and well-kept, making it both authentic and comfortable. Kimika was an amazing host—thoughtful, welcoming, and full of great energy. The decor in the house is very nice, and the view from the house is stunning as well. In the common room, Kimika also thoughtfully provided delicious local coffee and tea from Yakushima, which added an extra touch of warmth and hospitality. The kitchen also has everything you need. The house is very close to Isso beach, which is a great place to see the sunset. This is the perfect place to unwind and connect with the beauty of Yakushima, and also connect with the locals. I highly recommend staying here if you’re looking for a unique and memorable experience on this magical island.

Luana House can be accessed by the island bus, a bus stop is located directly in front of the house, and unlimited rides tickets (1, 3 or 4 days) can be purchased at the ports of Miyanoura and Anbo or at the airport for example. All sightseeing spots can be reached by bus, though renting a car is recommended for flexibility. The house is located on the southern coastline of Yakushima. From the terrace, you have a nice view of the ocean, and you can relax in one of the armchairs or hammocks and just enjoy the scenery. I had the western-style bedroom, which featured a sink and mirror in the room. Toilet and shower are shared with the room on the opposite side, and the kitchen is shared with everyone. All areas were nice and clean. The owners were the friendliest and most helpful hosts I ever met. I was offered a ride to some sigthseeing spots or to the town of Onoaida for grocery shopping or dinner. The host even provided some hiking equipment, as I was not prepared for the heavy rain on one of the days. Generally, the service far exceeds what you would expect from a pension. Overall it is one of the most memorable stays I ever had.

I had a spacious traditional japanese style room with a small mattress on the floor and nice bed sheets. The aircondition was good and it was clean and nice. The host is an older man who was very nice to me and gave me tea. Location is pretty good right outside a bus stop and close to a restaurant. So its an easy bus from the harbour to the guest house if you arrive and leave when the busses are running.
