    The owner will start communicate with you once you booked. He even willing to pick you up from the port. If the time is okay, he also okay to send you back to the port which is 5 mins drive. (please make sure you communicate via email if you can’t speak Japanese)

    Low key, clean guest stay on Naoshima

    It was dated, but everything was clean so there was no issue!

    Good location near the art houses / Honmura ferry port. Clean and quiet, no frills guest house. I was in a single room with a double bed, but it was great for one person. There are bicycles available to use during your stay. However, I already rented an e-bike (which was perfect for those hills and avoiding the bus service!)

    I expected it to be old and it was but it was okay I was only going to sleep. Weak WiFi was a bit annoying but didn’t use too much of it.

    Nice location easy to check in and had my own room/block of house. Small but a bath was good too.

    So close to the bus stop near the Naoshima City Hall and across the road from Naoshima Hall. Honmura was definitely the place for me to stay on Naoshima. A delightful walk to Tsutsuji-So along the water and then a bus up to Chichu Museum

    The bath and toilet are located in another part of the building but it seems the other two rooms have a bathroom inside, which is more comfortable.

    Although we arrived before noon we could check in right away. The bedroom is quite large and there is another little room attached to it. There were enough free bikes available (standard type, a bit heavy; not electric, which might be more difficult to drive for those less experienced with a bike). Good location: three minutes away from the bus stop and with quite a few restaurants around (note that most are closed when the museum is closed).

    Futon bed was a bit too firm which affected my sleep but depends on your preference. Also lots of mosquitos and other little insects (a normal part of this island) so make sure windows/doors are always closed - even between rooms.

    Perfect view of the ocean from the private deck, lovely guesthouse with great amenities, super friendly host (although she spoke limited English but we managed). Staying here really enhanced our relaxing time in Yakushima Island.

    None.

    The room was cozy and very clean with private bathroom. Reasonable price. The most important thing is that the owner was so kind and nice. Although his English speaking was not so fluent, we can still communicate via Google translate. I was thankful for his driving me to the port to take ferry after I checked out.

    Nothig really. It is basic and clean accommodation.

    The locationis good as it's right near all the Art House Projects. There is a bus between Miyanoura Port and the Benesse Art area. There are bikes to borrow at the guest house but if I visited again I would hire an electric bike to get around. It's also walking distance from a little supermarket.

    would have been very helpful if I would also be informed that there is not food that you can purchase at hostel. Normally you can't find cooked meals in a hostel, but because you will need to climb more than 300 stairs to arrive, I was expecting to find something to eat at the cafe. I arrived quite late, so that was probably another reason why I hungry and tired. get something to eat before you check in, is my advice.

    The view from the hostel is unbelievable. when I booked I didn't know they had dorms (maybe it wasn't avilable during the dates I wanted), but normally even when the dorms are not avilable during some dates, it is still very clear that there are dorms. might have been my confusion, I don't know. I was so happy with the room i booked that I didn't mind that after I arrived. The information that i was provided before - That I should drop my luggage at the coin lockers at the train station was SOOO helpful and made my climb to the hostel to be relaxed and comfortable. The staff was great and they gave me very good and detailed recommendations. It was an amazing experience to stay there. I would recommended to stay 2 nights minimum.
