Guest House Yakushima, hotel in Yakushima

Newly opened in February 2014, Guest House Yakushima is located in the southern part of Yakushima. It offers free Wi-Fi throughout the property, free parking and a luggage storage service.

Hiro-san gave us a tour of the guest house, and a quick rundown of helpful tourist facts and suggestions. The guesthouse is beautiful and very clean. We were able to get a room with two beds to ourselves with our own key.

屋久杉楼 七福, hotel in Yakushima

屋久杉楼 七福 enjoys a location in Yakushima, a 7-minute walk from Isso Beach and 13 miles from Shiratani Unsuikyo. This guest house features free private parking, a shared kitchen, and free Wifi.

The thing I liked the most about the property was how nice Barbara and Aki were. Some of the nicest guest room owners I’ve ever encountered. Our room was big and clean and the property itself had a very nice vibe as a wooden traditional house. All the other guests (both Japanese and foreigners) were all very friendly and Barbara facilitated friendly interactions between everyone. They were also providing good tips and advice about what to do in Yakushima, and were keen on helping foreigners who don’t speak Japanese (by calling restaurants for example).

Wa no Cottage Sen-no-ie, hotel in Yakushima

A 5-minute drive from Miyanoura Port, Wa no Cottage Sen-no-ie offers private Japanese-style cottages surrounded by nature.

We had a whole cottage (with a toilet) for ourselves. The shower/bathtub was in a separate building a short walk away, but still for our use only. It's quiet and beautiful.

    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!
