Good position to go around, breakfast included and a yummy and cheap bento option are life saving in an island where everything is far away or you need to start hiking really early.

The room was beautiful and spacious, and the hosts were so nice and kind! They had great tips about hiking routes and other sights, and they also helped me to rent a car (by far the most convenient way to get around the island). If you stay at sora-mame, you should definitely book the food option - everything was really delicious.

If you know Yakushima, and you have no question, just book and come, please don't consider my comment. My words only concern the email exchange I got with the owner, not the house itself.

-The staff/worker downstairs in the shop is super friendly, helped me break down my larger bills into smaller ones multiple times, and enthusiastically greeted me every time I saw him.
-The room was quite spacious and clean, and very affordable.
-The pay-to-use shoe drying device in the laundry room was extremely useful for drying my wet shoes. I also liked that you aren't restricted to 1 towel for your entire stay like some other hostels.
-Good location in Miyanoura, a minute away from a bus stop.

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.
Warm and welcoming guest houses are ideal for travellers who prefer unfussy accommodation with a personal touch. They are usually family-run, and your host will provide local recommendations and optional meals. Often cheaper than regular hotels, guest houses can also feature a cosy living room and a garden.

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!
Great location near the bus stop and walkable distance to several nice restaurants and a supermarket. The hosts are very nice and breakfast is so great.
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.
>Very nice traditional house.
>Great host (you should order dinner there, she is a really nice cook, we ate a fantastic meal!)
>Great location in a small village in front of the sea, next to the beach where the turtles lay eggs (we saw 2)
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!
