As i have said in my google review, i think this is the best homestay you can find in Yakushima. This is my second time staying with Taguchi and Hitomi san and as the 1st time, they are so nice and accommodating. They gave great suggestions ** i walked and climbed some difficult trails and it took me a total of 14hrs in2 days ** my legs ohh...hahha...and they also offered to pick you or send you to the port for your trip. They did their outmost best to make you feel at home which I said it did make me feel very welcome ^^ Clean and cosy...the room is big and the house is well designed.

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 host was absolutely lovely! Even though she knew limited English, she tried her best and was extremely charming and welcoming. The facilities are very clean and it was easy to meet and socialise with the other guest. The bathroom is very good too, and you could use the shower if you're not comfortable with the Japanese bath culture of using the same water. Plus, cats are very cute too!

Pension BLUE DROP offers accommodation in Yakushima. Guests can enjoy the on-site restaurant. Free WiFi is offered throughout the property and free private parking is available on site.

Yakusugi Land is 9 km from Pension BLUE DROP, while Yodogawa Trail of Mount Miyanoura is 11 km from the property.

As soon as we arrived, we were greeted by Yuki-San who was a very kind, friendly hostess. She went above and beyond to share local information on walks (ask for her hand-drawn, whimsical maps), food, weather, and more. With she and her husband's farm fresh, organic food and his freshly caught fish, we enjoyed three amazing dinners. We highly recommend all of her food! Besides all of this awesomeness, our favorite part of the stay was talking with Yuki-San about her life experiences and homestay stories. We will definitely be back!

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.

An absolutely amazing place to stay in Miyanoura area. The room was very spacious and had everything you might need, and the traditional bath elevated the experience even further. The owners are extremely friendly and helpful. We hope to come back to Yakushima and to Sen-no-Ie in particular (¬‿¬)

    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!
