We stayed in one of the bigger rooms with the outdoor bath. Only fits one at a time for adults but the deck and upper deck are beautiful. Room is overall clean, big and kitchen was great considering the island food opens late and closes early. A car is needed to access and anyone visiting Yakushima needs a rental car. I don't think it is possible to enjoy it as much without one after being there. The staff and owners are wonderful people and really treat their guests like gold. The tankan juice is amazing and they served us some handmade snacks/juice that is too die for. I speak japanese so no language barrier however, they provide enough translated information and handmade catalogs with english/japanese for the whole island.
設備 ホスピタリティ共に最高のお宿でした。立地に関してはおそらくレンタカーなどがないと厳しいでしょうが、レンタカーさえあればそれ以上に素晴らしい接客を受けることができます。海を眺めながらの五右衛門風呂、ウェルカムドリンクとしていただいたタンカンジュースなどとても手厚いサービスを受けましたがそれ以上にスタッフの方々の大変暖かい接客に感銘を受けました。とにかく明るく、優しく丁寧に接していただきました。忘れられない思い出をつくれて本当に嬉しく思います。また屋久島に行く機会があったら次も利用したく思います。他の方にもおススメできる素晴らしい宿でした。

For nutrition / health reason, we need a kitchen to cook meals our way, this property offers a simple kitchenette.
The most impressive part of the property is the hosts who care for their property deeply, and give the best maintenance to the property. The 2nd impression is the cleanness- immaculate! They also provided daily fresh flowers, and small desert. The ocean view is fantastic.
We wish the hosts upgrade the kitchen heating unit with something like a portable IH EM heating unit, which is only less than 5000 yen, so it can heat up quickly without waiting forever on the existing electric unit, and again waiting forever to let it cool down. There isn't any warning sign to the still hot unit, which makes it potentially unsafe, especially for children around. Another wish is to replace the bed sheets with new ones. The existing ones are so thin, we can see through. The last wish is to provide a little larger bath towels. Their size is almost the same as face towel.
Overall, we enjoyed the 4 night stay.

Get a car to travel the Island from here.
Posted 25 Oct 2018 on HotelsMake sure you have a car for transportation when you stay here. The location is away from amenities like restaurants and groceries but the location is convenient. Don't rely on buses to get you where you want - they don't run often. I wish the owners had mentioned that you need to bring all of your food because there are no restaurants (except one with only a few days of service), food stores or other conveniences nearby. If you have a car, great, if not, stay in one of the villages that provides more. It's very quiet and nothing going on in the area, if you are into having a drink or dinner and to meet other travelers after a long day out for hikes and swims. Very little English spoken but the hosts are kind and somewhat helpful. It's a pretty area and all things considered, they help as much as possible.

A home away from home
Posted 7 Apr 2018 on HotelsIt’s a wooden cottage with a loft. Two single beds in the studio and two futons in the loft. It is a laddar to reach the loft, so not suitable for everyone. The balcony is lovely and the host homemades fruit desserts for us with the fruits grow in their garden. We were lucky that the weather cooperated, no rain, during our 4 nights stay. Highly recommended.

主人非常周道，房子住起來很舒服，還有廚房可簡單料理食物。我們去繩文杉回來有主人細心準備的自製甜點，很窩心。整體住的感覺很愉悅

Amazing hospitality!
Posted 18 Nov 2017Absolutely loved everything about this cottage. The kind staff greeted us with fresh juice and even brought homemade dessert the next day. The cottage is a perfect size with amenities included so you can cook a light meal and eat outside on the balcony with a beautiful ocean view. Will definitely stay here again if we come back to this gorgeous island!

Amazing Location/Amazing Host/Amazing Cottage

Pros: everything
Cons: nothing
Location: Perfect location. Next to cafes, waterfalls, etc.
This place is amazing! The host are some of the nicest people I've ever met in my life. The cottage has an incredible view of the ocean. Its very spacious. It has great AC. Can easily fit 3 or 4 people in each cottage. Shower is great too. I would highly recommend renting a car and driving around the Island. This place is a must stay. Its such a good value.
