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!

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.

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.
A 4-minute drive from the Port of Miyanoura, Minshuku Iwakawa offers affordable Japanese-style accommodation, rooftop barbecue facilities and free-use washing machines. Free Wi-Fi is available.

The location is good, it was a 10 minute walk from the port. The staff was very nice, he let us check in early and we could leave our bags at the store downstairs after checkout.

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.

The wooden house was split into 3 double rooms. Staff was nice at reception house to show you the direction to your room. Hammock and chairs in the porch allow you to sit back and relax.
Despite the rain and wind, the room provides shelter with authentic island experience. Car can be parked right in front, like a motel.

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.

Wonderful location in a traditional Japanese style hotel. Staff very friendly and loved the onsen shower experience! Fresh towels and yukata every day. Convenient location with bus stop right next door.

The location is perfect. Close to a bike renting place, close to anbo dock, close to a bus stop leading to yakusugi land for hiking and the yakusugi museum.
The bed is comfortable and they provide the amenities you need for a short trip.
Warm and welcoming guest houses are ideal for travellers who prefer unfussy accommodation with a personal touch. They are usually family-run, and your host will provide local recommendations and optional meals. Often cheaper than regular hotels, guest houses can also feature a cosy living room and a garden.

Lovely guest house with incredibly friendly hostess! It is simple, yet love everything and every moment there! The lady who runs the guest house is extremely nice and helped me book the boat when my initial plan went wrong. I felt home and I also made good friends there. The airport and a supermarket are close by, just 5 minute walk. Free washing machine which is a plus after doing a hike. Will surely come back again!
Great location near the bus stop and walkable distance to several nice restaurants and a supermarket. The hosts are very nice and breakfast is so great.
Daichan is a great host! He was really helpful on the organisation of our trip on Yakushima Island. He has created 2 booklets with his family about all the best from the island including the ways of getting there with the public transport (which was SUPER helpful as the buses don’t run that often). The yurt are really comfortable. AC has a separate cost of 100 yens per 2 hours but otherwise fans are included in all tents. All the installations were really clean.
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.
>Very nice traditional house.
>Great host (you should order dinner there, she is a really nice cook, we ate a fantastic meal!)
>Great location in a small village in front of the sea, next to the beach where the turtles lay eggs (we saw 2)
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!
