We enjoyed every minute of our stay. The location is very quiet and beautiful. The bath is very very nice, a combination of modern shower and traditional bathrooms. The breakfast at Taguchi San residence was incredibly delicious. We will definitely come back here one day.

A 3-minute walk from Yakushima Airport, Tomarigi offers a bunk in a dorm room, a garden with a hammock and free Wi-Fi. It has a lounge with a flat-screen TV and a DVD player, as well as a shared kitchen.

Tomarigi is a very special place, cozy, communal and like its name: the perfect resting tree. And Satomi-san, the owner, is the sweetest person imaginable.

I loved absolutely everything about this property, it was a relaxing atmosphere, the breakfast provided were delicious and big portions, and the host went out of her way to ensure that I had everything for my stay. She helped make restaurant reservations, massage bookings, and gave advice on areas of the island to visit. Would definitely stay again!!!

Set in Yakushima and only 24 km from Yakusugi Land, Yakushima Pension Luana House offers accommodation with sea views, free WiFi and free private parking. The property has mountain views and is 42 km from Shiratani Unsuikyo and 45 km from Jomon Sugi. The guest house features family rooms.

The rating system is a bit skewed, as people too easily give tens, but I certainly won't do anything to lessen the average for this place. It might be the nicest and most considerate hosts I have ever stayed with. Without me asking for it, they drove me to an onsen and picked me up, washed my clothes, made a reservation at a restaurant, and generally went out of their way to make sure everything was fine. Facility-wise it's simple enough, but clean and nice, and the view from the balcony is excellent. Note that there's a bus stop right by, which is convenient.

Set in Yakushima, Sora-mame is a handicap accessible property that features an observatory on site so guests can observe the stars through a telescope. Free WiFi access and free private parking is available.

we had a great time and loved the guest house. the room was beautiful and spacious. our hosts were very nice and helped us with everything - even picking us up from a bus station and driving us to the nearest supermarket and ATM as we couldn't rent a car. if you don't have a car you will rely on irregular bus schedules - but that would be true for the whole island. there is a bus stop a couple of minutes away from the guest house - easy to get to. you can have dinner and breakfast for a good price and it was delicious. We would recommend it to everyone!

    Yuki and her husband were wonderful hosts. They were quick to respond and did a great job catering to our requests. Yuki provided us with some great tips and recommendations of things to do around the island. It is located on the South side of the island, so there is very little restaurants in the area but fortunately they offer breakfast/dinner at a cost. The breakfast was okay. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay at Pension Blue Drop and would recommend this stay to anyone!

    It was very clean and quiet and comfortable. Our host Barbara was amazing. she was very hospitable and very friendly. We had a cracking view over the river. It’s close to a couple of beaches so you can find one for swimming and snorkelling. There are lots of cool fish! Will definitely stay again if we return to Yakushima.

    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!
