Tomarigi, hotel in Ambo

A 3-minute walk from Yakushima Airport, Tomarigi offers a bunk in a dorm room, a garden with a hammock and free Wi-Fi.

Incredible host! Satomi-san treated me like family from the moment I checked in to the last minute! She suggested a good one day itinerary when the area I wanted to visit was closed. She made delicious onigiri as well (umeboshi was my favourite). The hostel was well organised and clean and I liked the bath. All of the other guests were kind and respectful too. I would definitely go back. Also, there are friendly cats there which was a nice surprise!

Guest House Yakushima, hotel in Ambo

Newly opened in February 2014, Guest House Yakushima is located in the southern part of Yakushima. It offers free Wi-Fi throughout the property, free parking and a luggage storage service.

If you know Yakushima, and you have no question, just book and come, please don't consider my comment. My words only concern the email exchange I got with the owner, not the house itself.

Yakushima Pension Ichigoichie, hotel in Ambo

Situated in Yakushima, 25 km from Yakusugi Land and 11 km from Scuba Diving Ever Blue Yakushima, Yakushima Pension Ichigoichie features accommodation with air conditioning and access to a garden.

The little pension is run by a lovely grandma and grandpa. Very welcoming, even though there was a language barrier, as they do not speak English, we managed to get the point across via translation apps. They offer yummy breakfast and can prepare nice bento for you if you ask for it for lunch. The location is great, near the airport, however car is optimal for the best experience. The location of the pension is close to all of the main routes and key activities. We were staying in the private bathroom room and were happy with the facilities.

Yakushima Park Guesthouse, hotel in Ambo

Set in Yakushima, within 10 km of Shiratani Unsuikyo and 23 km of Mount Miyanoura, Yakushima Park Guesthouse offers accommodation with a garden and free WiFi throughout the property as well as free...

Location was perfect walking distance from Miyanoura Port. Host was very friendly and knowledgeable - he even gave us a lift back to the port in the pouring rain and checked that our ferry was still running! Very cute and clean kitchen, shower and toilet. There are spare trekking poles, hiking boots and umbrellas you can borrow. Exceptionally good place!

Sora-mame, hotel in Ambo

Set in Yakushima, Sora-mame is a handicap accessible property that features an observatory on site so guests can observe the stars through a telescope.

The room was beautiful and spacious, and the hosts were so nice and kind! They had great tips about hiking routes and other sights, and they also helped me to rent a car (by far the most convenient way to get around the island). If you stay at sora-mame, you should definitely book the food option - everything was really delicious.

Sudomari Minshuku Friend, hotel in Ambo

Sudomari Minshuku Friend offers accommodation in Miyanoura, a 10-minute walk away from Miyanoura Bay of Kagoshima. Yakushima Airport is a 20-minute bus ride away.

Simple guest house in the port town Miyanoura. The room was spacious and a classical japanese Tatami mat room, which was rather frugal. The shared facilities were abundant, so it was not an issue dhat there was no bathroom in the room.

Minshuku Nodoka, hotel in Ambo

Featuring free WiFi and a garden, Minshuku Nodoka is situated in Yakushima, 11 km from Shiratani Unsuikyo. The property is around 17 km from Mount Miyanoura and 19 km from Nagata Beach.

The location is perfect to drop off your bags from the ferry and start exploring withon minutes off arriving. Its the closest guesthouse to the big ferry from Kagoshima. Its also the lowest price guest house I found. Its an old japanese style guesthouse so dont be suprised that there is no actual bed or a couch/chair in the room. But I actually found it quite comfortable to sleep on the thin matress on the nice floor and had a great sleep.
