“Simple, basic accomodation with all the necessities. Fully functioning kitchen, comfortable rooms and clean shower and toilet facilities (shared). Conveniently located, friendly staff and good value. Close to the tourist center, public transportation stops, the port, supermarket, restaurants and rental shops. We used the bus to access all the popular hikes. Took a little planning, and help from the information center (thanks Yumi), but ver do-able. The day passes are invaluable. Paid for themselves after our first outing. Highly recommended! The island is magic, the people friendly and the scenery breath taking!”

“Cheap and well maintained, close to public transportation places and supermarket, and ferry port. Recommend!”

“The place feels like home. Very tourist friendly place.”

“Perfect location, attentive and friendly staff. Nice and quiet guesthouse. The kitchen was really useful during my stay.”

“It was very easy to get up to Shiratani Usui hike by bus, in front of the hotel. Our host was exceptional in making car/bike rental arrangements for us. She was gracious also in arranging our rooms. We loved the proximity to the port, as well as to the supermarket, busses & bike rental. The kitchen & laundry were helpful too. Although conveniently located, it was perfectly quiet. Very grateful to our host for her sweet attention and help! :)”

“Very close to the ferry port. A supermarket is nearby. The staff was very friendly. I got a private room which is quite good for the decent price if you think about it's an lonely Island. I really recommend to stay here !!”

“The hostel was extremely clean, the staff were wonderful and allowed early check in/luggage storage :)”

“Great place! I had my own room with a fridge, a table and a couch. Really quit and close to all the important places (supermarket, port and tourist information) restaurants where a bit further but still walking distance :)”

“Very near to the 宮之浦 ferry port (5 min) The host is extremely nice”

“The guesthouse is beside Miyanoura port, you can take the buses and ferries easily. The room is clean and tidy, also big for its price. The c/p value is incredibly good. There are a supermarket nearby and some restaurants among the main street and seashore. The kitchen is a bonus. You can cook and make a simple meal coz there is not so much choice of restaurant in Yakushima at night.”
