Staff was really friendly and helpful, great location and a nice place to meet prople

Uri Japan

Nice location, lockers for your valuables are right at the bed.

Mathias Denmark

Excellent hostel. Location is great, staff was helpful, other guests were polite and friendly. The lovely patio overlooks the water, there are snacks and alcohol for purchase, the beds were comfortable enough.

Grant United States of America

Staff are friendly and helpful. Great facilities and very central.

Thomas Japan

Immaculately clean, fantastic bathtub, and nice staff

Jeremy United States of America

Location, the facilities, and the owner are all amazing. If I go back, I’ll stay again and I recommend this hostel to everyone!

Atsuki United States of America

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!

Clementine United States of America

I loved the large bathroom with a sophisticated water temperature device and huge window to the ocean, especially after a day of hiking. There's tons of travel info here, with or without staff's help, and there aren't many places to sit in the common area so conversation happens as a matter of course.

Anonymous Canada

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!
