Minshuku Iwakawa

Very Modern and Clean

Reviewed By BasarBurcu

I just stayed here for four nights during a hiking trip to wonderful Yakushima. While booking, I chose the "new building" option and it turned out to be great with immaculately clean facilities. Showers and kitchen are all new and very modern looking. The room was also a decent size. I also liked the location of the new building located few minutes walk away from the restaurant area. Highly recommended. It is a great gem for the price.

Minshuku Yakushima Hostel

Lovely christmas and new years

Reviewed By MishMish13

We stayed 7 nights, and chose this guest house based on previous reviews. Probably because of end of year timing, there were no English speaking staff. The guest house was run by a very lovely elderly couple who ensured we were comfortable despite language barriers. This was the main reason for 5-star review. The tatami room was large and comfortable, but always smelt damp on entering. Had a sink in the room which was useful. The bath was just divine everyday after long hikes. We were the only guests for a few days, and realised the walls were quite thin on days with other guests. Most people were considerate of this. Free use of washing machine, dryer 100yen. Breakfast and dinners were great, traditional Japanese style - a must try. Ramen shop to the left of guest house is not on google maps - also a must try (just walk next door). We are a minute drive from large supermarket and yen store, and across from that is an amazing cafe/restaurant with top quality pasta and pizza, plus other fusion dishes. Perfect for a rainy slow day. Hired hiking for 2-days shoes for 1000yen. Very new and clean. They forgot to order our bento lunch boxes, and elderly gentleman was awake at 430am making rice balls for us that he would not charge us for. Very deserving of 5-stars and great to support a local family. Also check out Bless Yakushima in Anbo!

Try the flying fish

Reviewed By dennissY2735TT

What a wonderful place with lovely hosts and great food! We spent a couple of nights here as a family and enjoyed every single second of it. Not only the whole island is a very special place, but this minshuku made the stay even more special. Clean rooms, friendly people and great food on top! The flying fish is especially memorable.

Minshuku Umikawa

Traditional guesthouse for small budget

Reviewed By Christinas_Favorite

The location is excellent, 3 minutes away from the harbor, across the street is a grocery store. The inn keeper is very friendly and helpful; every morning he made us a delicious bento box for lunch to take to the hike. He speaks very limited English; a conversation is not possible. The rooms are Japanese style which we loved. The Inn itself seems to be a bit neglected; the hallway smells like a wet dog however we did not see a dog during our 3-night-stay. The toilet itself is clean but the corners store plenty of dust. It's a bit difficult to review this place because everyone is so incredible friendly, the tatami mats are comfy and the food especially dinner is delicious but you need to overlook the unattended spaces. The cleanliness left something to be desired. Be aware you have to pay in cash.

Minshuku Myojoso

A bit rundown guesthouse

Reviewed By JP7000

We stayed at Myojoso for one night. The place seemed to have suffered some water damage and felt a bit rundown too. The room felt a bit damp but seemed otherwise at least cleanish. The owner was very friendly though and offered us some local drinks in addition to giving us a ride from and to the harbour.

Hasuwa

Private On-Sen + Affordable Price + Free Transfer from Train Station

Reviewed By Hatyaiman

The key is Private On-Sen upon very good pricing. There are 4 On-Sen; 2 Outdoor and 2 Indoor. This will be good place for On-Sen upon privacy. We did try twice on Biggest On-Sen outdoor as 6-7 occupied. Dinner is optional but I saw many people took this option. I do believe that location is a little far from downtown (actually less than 10 min walk). Then, dinner should be placed in the hotel for convenience. Dinner and Breakfast is local taste. There is small vending machine in the lobby. Free Transfer can be made upon request by e-mail. I feel staying HOME not Hotel. Host and staff (speaking Japanese, English and Thai) are considered as 5-star service. Highly Recommended. Re-Visit for sure

Yakushima Guesthouse Suginoko

Yakushima Guesthouse Suginoko is located 100 metres away from the nearest bus stop and close to the Jomon Sugi trailhead. All the rooms are equipped with private bathrooms and necessities provided. Complimentary parking available. Breakfast is included. The kitchen and living room are open for your use. The staff are happy to give you tips and chat with you in a friendly environment.

Amazing place, highly recommended.

Reviewed By heythereitsmtm

Firstly, I am surprised how little reviews Suginoko has on trip advisor. I booked off hotels.com and found the rate to be very reasonable compared to other accommodations on Yakushima. The room is comfortable with air conditioning. The shower has great water pressure. The bento box they prepared for me on one of the mornings I had an early morning trek was tasty and exactly what I needed to keep me going in the afternoon. Though Anbo is not the main port, I ended up having to go to Miyanoura Port (Anbo was closed due to typhoon coming in) and I personally thought Anbo was much more charming. The only tricky part is finding the tourist info center which is a 10 min walk from Anbo port and has no signage. I was able to find it after asking for directions and got the unlimited bus pass. This bus pass was the best thing I got because it enabled me to see so much of Yakushima. The bus route is all along the coast and entirely scenic!! From Anbo towards Shiratani Uesikyo and the other way to Kurio beach, I saw so much that is the quaint and beautiful Yakushima. This hotel is right at bus stop 60, you have to walk into a suspicious looking road, Ive attached a picture because I was confused that the sign did not have English, but it is telling you suginoko is straight ahead. Hope you stay there and hope you really enjoy Yakushima!!

Minshuku Takesugi

Ok for the price

Reviewed By Lews31

The hotel is well located close to the port. My room was confortable but the door had a window so I had the light from the corridor. No wifi in my room and the bath was cold in the morning so I assume you have to wash on the evening. A bit noisy.
