Very clean. Pretty spacious. Lovely tub outside that was great to soak in. Good location - close to Anbo and other little towns, not a far drive from Miyanoura. The ladies left homemade desserts in the fridge each day which was incredible.

The whole compound was lovely, the room was large, decorated in a vintage like style but actually very modern. The shower was great, beds were very comfortable and I loved the free laundry facilities. Generally they provided more facilities and amenities than I expected. Our host was nice and helpful, making the experience even better. We really enjoyed our stay.

Set 2.5 km from Harutahama Beach, Cottage Kutsuroki offers accommodation with free WiFi and free private parking.

Every unit features a private bathroom and bidet, air conditioning, a flat-screen TV and a fridge.

Very good option as Cottage Kutsuroki are standalone bungalows so no noise issues at all. Extra convenience of car parked right at door, easy to load suitcases etc. Very good well stocked kitchen and finally, after days of thin futon beds, nice to have “normal” mattress beds to sleep on! Good heating. Nice shower and bath adequate. Very good location at Anbo

Looking for a cabin?

For the active travellers, a chalet is a great mix of the outdoors and the snug inside. Usually fully furnished and self-catered, chalets are typically wooden and in the Alpine region of Europe, but can also be found elsewhere in the world. Characterised by their sloped roofs, chalets can be single units or separate apartments, and are ideal for skiing holidays.

    The whole area is just wonderful and a great starting point for exploring the island. We stayed in a spacious wooden cabin with out own kitchenette and toilet, and we had our own private bathroom with a bath that comfortably fits one person and uncomfortably two. :)) The accommodation is in walking distance from few restaurants and bus stops, but also hidden away in the nature, close to a river. The owner is very nice and hospitable and even picked us up in the city when we first arrived. We had a great time!

    Mr. Nakashima, his wife and their stuff are the Most wonderful poeple. They speak very wenn english, they are always helpful and they can give very Good Information about everything what to do on Yakushima. Transport, Restaurants, hiking spots…. The Little Huts are all build by himself. The location near amnbo ist quite Good. Five minutes to the busstop. But its worth it to hire a car, so you are much more flexible. We had had the Most wonderful stay on Mr, Nakashimas place in our four week journey through Japan. Thank you 👏👏👏

    Great location within walking distance of Miyanoura port. Traditional ryokan style house, sleeping on the floor with sliding doors and wooden floors. Beautiful room with views of the island. They offer vegetarian bento boxes which was ideal given the limited veggie options elsewhere on the island. Supermarket within walking distance and great kitchen facilities to cook for yourself, plus bus stop is within 10 mins walk.

    The Cottages are so whimsical and fun with a very creative design. Our group of five enjoyed being able to stay in two different cabins so we had our own privacy but could hang out together. There are several bus stops nearby or it is about a 25 minute walk to Anbo. We also appreciated that the cottages are very clean, the customer service excellent and the area very quiet.
