Guest Houses in Yakushima

I got the biggest cottage. Had three bed on main level and two on upper bunk. Walked out to little patio, big bathhouse attached to the room. Laundry machine and kitchenette in the room.

It’s so clean. The owner is so nice. And the price is reasonable.

Location, services , cleanliness

Anbo is a very convenient hub for hikers, this hostel is just next to the bus stop.

Pretty much everything. It’s an old building, but it’s sturdy and charming. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Although it is located a ways from the more popular spots of the island, Isso beach and the town were wonderful. Also, there is plenty to do and explore farther along the coast.

We loved the host. She is such a kind and lovely lady! Even though she doesn't speak any English, she always tried her best to communicate with us. Our room was big, the location was within walking distance from the port and bus stops. The common areas were thoroughly cleaned every day, and we had 2 washing machines, a microwave, a fridge, a toaster and a rice maker available to our disposal. Right outside the guesthouse there are coin-operated clothes dryers and a shows washing machine and dryer.

Cozy home , River and mountains in front of home

Comfortable stay and a very cheerful helpful staffs. Great conversation with hosts and also helped with my Ferry reservation when it was canceled due to high surf advisory. Restraunts, grocery stores, souvenir shops, and outdoor stores nearby areas.

Great location and extremely welcoming host.

Old but in a good way, I felt very at home:)

Great breakfast, clean and spacious room

Beautiful house located next to a great izakaya and bento store. Only a short drive/walk from the Anbou port.

Yuki and Toru’s hospitality was exceptional. Their accommodation all crafted from local wood, is immaculately clean. Our room was very comfortable. There was a lovely dining room which we sat and worked in before dinner. We stayed in early April and it was pleasantly cool so we didn’t have to use the air conditioning. We were fortunate enough to sample a selection of three different offerings for dinner each evening. This is where the essence of Yuki’s and Toru’s hospitality and generosity was evident. The meals were of exceptional quality, prepared with care, be it the cooked elements by Yuki or the fish caught by Tori. Don’t miss out - treat yourselves and take your evening meals there. During our evening chats with Yuki we learnt more about their commitment to nature, organic farming and love for Yakushima. After making our booking, Yuki guided us seamlessly through the somewhat complicated processes of getting to and from the island by booking our ferry crossings and by reserving our car rental. The accommodation is strategically well positioned for the start of the hike to Jomon Sugi (early start essential) and others, several scenic waterfalls, the Hirauchi Kaichi and Yudomari Onsens on the sea (less than 5 minutes away), as well as the splendidly scenic and interesting UNESCO World Heritage Listed Coastal Road where you can see monkeys and deer in abundance in their natural habitat - the beautiful reality of the landscape of Miyazaki’s “Princess Mononoke.”

Very gracious host. Delicious meals included for breakfast and dinner
