“Good price for a whole house and very reasonable Japanese restaurants around. ”

“The owner was extremly nice and helpful. He even picked us up when we arrived with the ferry without us expecting it! Transfer back to the port was free too! Amazing house, free bicylces and we had an wonderful time, thank you very much!”

“The owner was super friendly and helpful! Amazing person”

“Host was incredibly kind and drove us to the airport on the day of our departure, also offered to pick us up at the port when we arrived but wasn't necessary as we had a rental car. Cottage has an assortment of DVDs and games to play, more than enough space, lovely shower and bath. Excellent location, right in Miyanoura town. Kitchen has everything you need to cook so I recommend buying food to cook at the cottage for breakfast to save some money and energy. 10/10 would recommend.” Read more

“Fantastically cosy little cottage with all necessary amenities to accommodate a stay anywhere from a night, like in our case, to a fortnight. Beautifully adorned with regional cedar and wonderfully cosy in a non-euphemistic sense. Even had a mini-SNES if you felt like it. The owner himself, Oyama-san, was a lovely chap and even pointed out to us that there was a program running on the island whereby if you bought special vouchers from the local tourism bureau for 2000 yen, equally 5000 yen's worth of Yakushima yen, we'd save around 60% on our stay. As such, we ended up paying 3600 yen for a night's stay as opposed to slightly over 8000 yen. Cannot recommend more.” Read more

“Excellent and affordable complete cottage very close to a main bus stop and grocery store and various restaurants. House is made of cedar and is spacious. View from the couches in the living room toward mountains and a veggie field is appreciated. I didn't use the stove but well-equipped kitchen. I also used the handy washer and hung up clothes. Fast wifi. I hired the owner to drive me on a 6 hour tour for about $65 around the island and we saw most of the major sites. One of my best days in Japan.” Read more

“Yakusugi house is a traditional Japanese-style cottage located with peaceful neighborhood and in great location, 5 mins drive to port 宮之浦 and 10 mins walk to supermarket where you can find almost all necessities you want. The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need to make a traditional Japanese meal. Our host is extremely helpful and warm-hearted, who took us a round island tour which makes our 5-nights stay in Yakushima a memorable experience. Will definitely stay here again when we come to Yakushima next time！” Read more
