Experience culture authentically with a stay at these traditional Japanese-style accommodations. Sleep on the floor (on a futon roll) in a room furnished with tatami flooring and sliding doors. Guests can often expect access to a communal bath, plus a complimentary Japanese garment called a yukata.
The host was kind and explain us everything. The place is perfectly located in Miyanoura to get the buses to hike (3 minutes by foot). We could order bento the day before our hikes. There was a supermarket not far away for diner. There are also some restaurants around. The futons were really confortable, we had double matresses.
The staff were helpful. Most of them didn't speak much English, but we still managed to communicate. I stayed for 5 nights, the last two nights I moved to another room with tatami but no hot spring. The tatami room without hot spring was a lot more noisier. But the room with the hot spring was wonderful. And I appreciate their help with breakfast as I have some diet restrictions and they manage to cooperate with that.
Yuki was nice and helpful, she was responded quickly on all our questions and booked the car for us. She even renter a towel to me to go to mixed onsen for free.
A really nice traditional house. The sliding doors (shoji) and the floormats (tatami) made the place beautiful. The doors near the beds could open and there was a insect screen door. The view from those windows was amazing! A vegetable garden with green mountains further away. I was feeling like I was in a tent. It made me happy.
We rented a car at Yuko rental cars. That was very good and nearby.
Very nice and helpful staff, very good food, nice onsen and nice rooms. As I am a vegetarian, I also appreciated the care and effort for providing a meal for me.
Very nice ryokan and perfect location : near the ferry port, and at 5min of a bus stop to take you everywhere on the island.
The host explained to me everything and helped me organise my stay in Yakushima. He was so nice !
(And the bath was perfect after a day hiking!)
Staying in this beautiful, comfortable, rustic riverside guest house was one of the most notable moments of my whole travels. The lady that runs it is the sweetest and kindest person I have ever met. The location is absolutely perfect for exploring Yakushima and the Jomonsugi hike. The rooms are comfortable and clean as those of any ryokan, and there are large onsen style baths free to use. You absolutely MUST stay here if you plan on staying anywhere on the island. Its worth every yen.
The location is good, the Japanese style room is very nice and we enjoyed the option for Japanese futon. Their futon were very comfortable.
Onsen is clean and sauna available too as well as a cold pool. Outdoor onsen had 2 pools to choose from.
Very pleasant and hospitable people. The accomodation contains a lot of facilities (like a small onsen) and information and supplies for discovering the island. Had a very pleasant stay in a large Tatami mat room for 2 persons, would definitely recommend to come again!
