The owner was very friendly.The location of the inn was different from Google Maps, so I applied for a correction.There was a lot of food on the menu and I was very satisfied.The location is on the Ichiminato coast, very close to the lighthouse at the northern tip of Yakushima.

I'm so impressed that this is my first time posting a Google review.I was traveling alone and was unprepared, but my husband consulted with me and provided a lot of support, including arranging a guide. Despite the typhoon, I had a lot of fun. The morning and evening meals were all delicious with fresh sashimi and lots of side dishes.Thanks to the warm hospitality, I became a fan of Minato Raku and Yakushima. I would like to visit you again. I was really lucky to be able to take care of Mr. Minato on my first trip to Yakushima. thank you very much.

I stayed here for 2 nights with my family of 4 during Golden Week 2024.In conclusion, I'm glad I chose this accommodation!・Fish is delicious! Since it is located in the port town of Ichiminato, you can enjoy fresh sashimi and fish dishes. I happened to get a mackerel with a broken neck, so I was able to get some valuable sashimi.・The couple is so warm! In other words, I feel like an uncle. It felt like staying on the second floor of a relative's house.・The room is spacious! It was spacious enough for a family of four, even when we were unpacking our trekking luggage. Having a hanger rack was also useful for drying wet items.・Good cost performance! This price for 2 nights for 4 people? I was surprised when I checked out. Highly satisfied.The only problem is that the location is far from the trailhead. If you don't have a rental car, you'll have to take a bus to the center, so you'll have to be mindful of the bus time, which doesn't take much. The husband said he was no longer a guide, but he was willing to give me advice on various things, and his wife prepared a lunch box for me when we climbed the mountain, so it was a great trip. thank you very much.

It was a guesthouse run by a very kind couple.I would like to stay there again.・A bath and food were provided after the trek, and although the location was far away, I was glad I chose this place.・The mackerel sashimi is so delicious that it is prepared in time for guests to take a bath. All the meals are delicious, varied, and well-balanced, so you'll be very satisfied.・The room was spacious with two rooms. It's a typical house, so the sounds of daily life such as running water can be heard.・Basically, it is better to secure a means of transportation locally. The website says that pick-up and drop-off is possible, but this only applies if there are free hands, so if you absolutely need it, we recommend that you consult with us before making a reservation.・You can use towels freely, but if you are concerned about that, it is better to bring your own as you will be sharing towels that have been washed.I had the pleasure of staying with a warm family and had some really good memories. Thank you very much 😊

We enjoyed a variety of home-cooked meals including delicious fish from Yakushima (necked mackerel is caught at the nearby Isso Fishing Port), Yakushima shochu, the communication that can only be found in a guesthouse, and the warmth of a couple that you cannot experience at a large inn. If you plan to stay overnight, we highly recommend staying for multiple nights with dinner included.
