    The host was very kind, spoke perfect English and went out of his way to help us — making several calls for us. The cottage is extremely spacious and has a full kitchen. We loved our stay here and wish we could have stayed longer!

    The cottage is simple but elegant, decorated with attention to detail but without being tacky. The owner is nice and helpfull. The surrounding area is well-kept and quiet, despite being close to the airport (literally a few minutes by car, maybe...

    痒いところに手が届くモノがたくさんありました。 延長コード、掃除機、トースター…部屋の外には物干しがあり、干しておいたら雨が降り、戻ってきた時には軒下に移してくれていた、というオーナーさんの優しさに感動しました! とても広い庭には花やベンチなどがあり、生憎の天候続きでしたが、季節や天候によっては素晴らしいスペース間違いないと思います。

A wooden single-storied cottage (about 311 sq.ft.) is located at a hill within 10+ minutes of walk from Yakushima airport. You can enjoy the surrounding garden where you can view the mountains and the sea and enjoy wild creatures such as Yakushima deer and Yakushima Macaques. The floor, wall, and ceiling of the cottage are made with cedar plates and it is designed to be suitable for tea ceremony. The cottage is equipped with a unit bathroom, a mini kitchen with an IH cooking heater and a small refrigerator, and some cooking/eating utensils, which can be freely used by the guest. There are shops within five minutes of walk where foods and drinks can be purchased. From the two ports Miyanoura and Anbou, the route bus service takes about 20 minutes to the nearest bus stop.
After his retirement from the university, Taiichi moved to Yakushima with his wife and started building their own house as well as the surrounding garden. During the construction, they were living in the small cottage, which was originally built as their temporary house. After they finished the main (orange) house and moved to there, they decided to use the cottage as a guest house and improved it to make it comfortable for the guests. Now that most initial construction projects are over, Taiichi is enjoying the atmosphere of Yakushima, through DIY, gardening, trekking, swimming, etc., while his wife is sending an artist life. They love to share the wonder of Yakushima with the cottage guests, namely, with you. Taiichi is also a reporter for a web journal and delivers hot topics of Yakushima through the Internet.
There are shops and restaurants within a walking distance from the cottage. This area is a relatively conveniant place to live within the island of Yakushima.
