Really nice little cabin with stunning ocean views! I loved spending evenings on the hammock outside. The beds were comfy, and the kettle and fridge came in handy. Also, the hosts were really lovely and gave us guidance for planning out activities. There's a bus stop just down the road which is useful for those without cars.

Yakushima Pension Ichigoichie, hotel in Yakushima

Situated in Yakushima, 25 km from Yakusugi Land and 11 km from Scuba Diving Ever Blue Yakushima, Yakushima Pension Ichigoichie features accommodation with air conditioning and access to a garden.

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 location is perfect to drop off your bags from the ferry and start exploring withon minutes off arriving. Its the closest guesthouse to the big ferry from Kagoshima. Its also the lowest price guest house I found. Its an old japanese style guesthouse so dont be suprised that there is no actual bed or a couch/chair in the room. But I actually found it quite comfortable to sleep on the thin matress on the nice floor and had a great sleep.

    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!

    Daichan is a great host! He was really helpful on the organisation of our trip on Yakushima Island. He has created 2 booklets with his family about all the best from the island including the ways of getting there with the public transport (which was SUPER helpful as the buses don’t run that often). The yurt are really comfortable. AC has a separate cost of 100 yens per 2 hours but otherwise fans are included in all tents. All the installations were really clean.

    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.

    Barbara was such a great host, recommending places to visit on Yakushima and so knowledgeable. The property is in a small town on the North Coast of Yakushima, very quiet and peaceful. Thanks for such an amazing time!
