A 3-minute walk from Yakushima Airport, Tomarigi offers a bunk in a dorm room, a garden with a hammock and free Wi-Fi. It has a lounge with a flat-screen TV and a DVD player, as well as a shared kitchen.

The cosy, family feel of the place made my stay in Yakushima. The lady running the place was so nice and she prepared Onigiri for guests who had planned hikes on the island, which was really convenient. She also plans your sightseeing with you if you want, as she knows the bus schedules and the different things to see quite well. Met some really nice people at the guest house and shared an amazing hot pot on the last night. Tomarigi made my stay in Yakushima. Also, theres a supermarket about 5 minutes away by foot, which was really convenient.

Wooden cottages come with a tatami (woven mat) floor, on which traditional futon bedding is spread for sleeping. They are equipped with a CD player, a microwave and a fridge. A washstand and en suite toilet are provided, while bathroom facilities are shared.

We loved everything about this authentic and peaceful riverside property amidst the forest. We were welcomed warmly and shown around our tatami room, well furnished kitchen, and private cedar bath house. We made use of the free laundry facilities and riverside trail / communal picnic area. The property is located near a bus stop and walking distance to town (a car rental is recommended). Highlights included a cedar chopstick making workshop and bathing in the cedar bath tub looking out onto the forest. Falling asleep to the sound of the river and forest was also lovely.

    Satomi was an incredible host and very helpful throughout the stay. She helped me plan all my hikes and because of her I managed to do the 3 main hikes on the island in my 3 days on Yakushima. I have never had a greater host at a guesthouse. The building has a very fun and quirky interior, it really feels like you are staying in Japanese house. The bed was comfortable enough for me.

    Yuki and her husband were wonderful hosts. They were quick to respond and did a great job catering to our requests. Yuki provided us with some great tips and recommendations of things to do around the island. It is located on the South side of the island, so there is very little restaurants in the area but fortunately they offer breakfast/dinner at a cost. The breakfast was okay. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay at Pension Blue Drop and would recommend this stay to anyone!

    It was very clean and quiet and comfortable. Our host Barbara was amazing. she was very hospitable and very friendly. We had a cracking view over the river. It’s close to a couple of beaches so you can find one for swimming and snorkelling. There are lots of cool fish! Will definitely stay again if we return to Yakushima.

    Barbara was such a great host, recommending places to visit on Yakushima and so knowledgeable. The property is in a small town on the North Coast of Yakushima, very quiet and peaceful. Thanks for such an amazing time!
