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.

    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.
