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

Shmul, Israel

The house is really comfortable, large and extremely well equipped. Just a few minutes bicycle ride away is a large supermarket, so we cooked dinner for ourselves every night. The neighbourhood is beautiful and peaceful, and everyone we encountered was super friendly. The host is so nice and charges very reasonable rates for drop-offs and tours, so you don't have to bother with the infrequent island buses. I can recommend the 8 hour tour that includes Yakusugi Land, and don't miss the seaside onsen!

Wonderful host! He gave us lots of recommendations and really went out of his way to make sure we were able to do lots of nice things. He brought us maps and checked bus times for and helped us organise our walk to Jomon Sugi. He also took us to see an amazing waterfall and picked us up again before we had to check out for a very reasonable price, which he didn't have to do, but I suppose he wanted us to make the most of our last day at his place. Such a nice guy and lovely house. I highly recommend staying here.

Aviv, Israel

The host was ridiculously helpful from start to finish. He picked us up at the port, took us to the start of our walk and picked us up afterwards, helped us to hire a car and dropped us off at the port afterwards. The house is large, comfortable and has good kitchen facilities.

This is one of the most beautiful and comfortable places I have ever stayed at. The host picked me up from the boat dock, got me a bus pass, stopped at the grocery store, and then took me up the mountain to go hiking and returned four hours later! His place looks out to his large garden and then to the mountains. It is immaculate, huge, comfortable, the kitchen was well equipped, and there was a bicycle to use as well. Plus the location is great. It is a short distance out of town, a two minute walk to the bus stop, five minutes to the grocery store and fifteen minutes to town. Because it rained alot (rainy season), I spent a lot of time inside and loved every minute of it.

Stuart, United States of America

Great place! Big (not only for Japanese standards). It was fully equipped, with everything we needed (including a bike and coffee) and it was a nice place to relax in after a long day of exploring Yakushima. The host was incredibly helpful and accommodating. He picked us up from the ferry on very short notice, drove us all the way to the head of the Shiratani Unsuikyo hike, and also drove us back to the port to catch our ferry. He also provided us with a guide with information about nearby restaurants, supermarket, bus stops (which are very close by), etc.

Very good value for money. Also, since we were there during the very bad rainstorm in May 2019, it was good to know that he gave us good advice about what to do, and checked in on us when we got stuck coming home. Having a kitchen helped us survive when no restaurant's were open, and having a washing machine was good because everything we had got wet. He also provided free shuttle to the Airport, and we learned that all the sea turtle tours are led by the same group, so his offer was the cheapest option but the exact same experience. CONCLUSION: very good value for money, good service, good facilities; very highly recommended.
