The owner was super friendly, even offered to drive me to the store and Kaichu Onsen at 4 am for the low tide, but I refuse for her sleep sake. The room and place too were super cosy.

    Yuki was an incredible host. We would absolutely stay the Pension Blue Drop again when we visit Yakushima again! The beds were extremely comfortable, the facility was beautiful and Yuki gave us great information about things to do in the area. Definitely opt in to the meals there, as they are DELICIOUS!

    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.

    The host was absolutely lovely! Even though she knew limited English, she tried her best and was extremely charming and welcoming. The facilities are very clean and it was easy to meet and socialise with the other guest. The bathroom is very good too, and you could use the shower if you're not comfortable with the Japanese bath culture of using the same water. Plus, cats are very cute too!

    I can not recommend the guesthouse more, absolutely wonderful host and guests. Truly felt like a second family on a subtropical island. We went to a local restaurant with all the guests, and afterwards I went lobster fishing with the other guests. And the hostess helped me plan my second day on the island as well. I truly wish I could have stayed for longer, and I am looking forward to the time I can return.

    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!
