We had the kindest and most welcoming host ever! We were treated like family. It was a kind of home that we never thought we would encounter in our travels. There's a heart to this place which represents the soul of the island in general. Can't wait to visit there again!

I loved the fact that the cabin where we stayed was very spacious. Clean bathroom and overall clean room. Relatively close to the Miyanoura port and close to activities on that side of island. The property had plenty of parking spaces. The wonders seem really sweet.

    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.

    We were greeted by a lovely host, hibiscus and hydrangea in the entrance foyer and on the beds, and delicious, freshly squeezed fruit juice upon arrival. The unit was clean, with a nice decking area, unique outdoor bath and views towards the sea. Twin beds downstairs, and a futon set up in an open area upstairs for our daughter. Kitchenette ideal to prepare our own meals. Added bonus of a desert made of local fruit provided on our second day, which was a lovely touch.
