Hostel Yakushima Youth Hostel

891-4205 Kagoshima, Yakushima, Miyanoura 278-2 , Japan –

Lock in a great price for Yakushima Youth Hostel – rated 9.4 by recent guests!

to get started.

The hostel manager let me drop off my luggage at 8am, and gave me solid recommendations for hiking and leisure activities throughout my stay. The location is convenient, as it's a short walk from both the nearest bus stop and Miyanoura Port. All around well-maintained, clean communal spaces such as the kitchen and restrooms. The leveled tatami flooring in a section of the dormitory room was a nice touch. As someone who visited Yakushima for the first time, I enjoyed the accessibility of the location and the people I met at the hostel. I'd stay here again if I had the chance!

June, Japan

Staff was very helpful and knowledgeable about the area. Great common space with excellent porch area for enjoying the view. There is a washer and dryer available and access to a clothesline outside your room if you'd like to air your clothes. Would definitely stay again!

Everything was great. Super clean, awesome back balcony to hang out on and drink and meet people after long hikes

Jackson, United States of America

Perfect hostel with extraordinary stuff. The location is awesome to explore the island and all the great restaurants&super market are 2 min away. 1.5 min from bus station

Omer, Israel

It's amazing place. The best you can have in Yakushima to explore this amazing island with many restaurants, supermarket, ferry, airport- everything is super close. The stuff is amazing and this is place makes you feel at home. I will be back !

Omer, Israel

The location is a short walk from the ferry terminal, bus stop and grocery store so it was quite convenient. They let you store your bags for free which is a bonus!

Anonymous, Japan

Helpful staff, good tips and advices about the island

Jakub, Czech Republic

The staff was incredibly nice and helpful. Each time they helped us to organise our days since it's pretty hard to get around just by the local buses. Luckily with their help we could well organise our sightseeings to work with the timetables. The balcony offers a beautiful view of the port and the waves.

Julien, Switzerland

Great, spacious place to stay whilst exploring Yakushima. Awesome island. Satoshi was very sweet - and the boss baby!!

Dominic, United Kingdom

Good location, close to Miyanoura port and bus stop. Even though the reception desk works in a very limited time, the staff was very friendly and helpful with suggestions of trails.

“Cosy hostel ”

There’s quite a lot of rules to follow - in addition to the ‘normal’ ones about being quiet etc. - there are times when you can use the common areas, showers (not after 9am or 9pm) and check in times - which are quite strictly enforced.
Small cosy hostel near the pier where the ferry arrives. There’s a common area with kitchen and a terrace overlooking the port. Great for meeting people. The rooms are spacious and even have space out back to hang laundry. There are two large bathrooms and one of them has a Japanese bathtub for use. There’s a supermarket at walking distance too.

I had an amazing stay in this hostel, I already want to come back ! The staff is really nice, helpful and speaks English. The room, bathrooms, common space were cosy and clean, it felt like home. I especially liked the terrace with an amazing view of the port. It was so relaxing. The location is perfect, next to bus stop, a supermarket and Miyanoura port.
