Two people used it. Due to the effects of Typhoon No. 10 in 2014, the Shiratani Unsuikyo course was changed to a detour to climb the mountain, so I was able to have breakfast an hour earlier, and I was able to finish my meal before climbing, which I am grateful for.The food was especially delicious, with a wide variety of items, and I was able to get more than one helping of rice, so I was satisfied without having to go out to eat.The room seems to be well-cleaned and clean. There was also a washbasin in the room, which was very convenient to use.Next, I would like to climb a high mountain in Yakushima.At that time, I would like to take care of you again.

Stayed here for 2 nights. For the first night, stay overnight without meals and use nearby restaurants and A-Corp.I had made a reservation for the second night with dinner and breakfast included, but dinner was not provided. It seems that I made a mistake in my reservation. I was told that there was no preparation and that I would get my money back so I could eat outside.I decided to eat breakfast as there was still time, but there was no breakfast available the next day. No apology either.I was told that the person who dealt with forgetting dinner was the person in charge, but even though he was in the kitchen when he forgot breakfast, he never showed any signs of being apologetic.To be honest, it wasn't a very pleasant stay.I thought the thin walls and bathroom facilities were reasonable based on the price, but I was surprised by the response when I forgot to eat.I felt sad because I made a reservation based on the reviews that said the food was delicious.The tsukudani for breakfast was delicious.

Take the bus from the airport and get off at A Coop Miyanoura store (590 yen, August 2024). After getting off, it is a 2-minute walk.I was able to leave my luggage before check-in and explore Yakushima with ease.Miyanoura Port is within walking distance, and a bus stop is also nearby. Good location to go anywhere.Used by one person. We had a very satisfying stay in our room, which included breakfast and dinner, and a bathroom in the annex, perfect for relaxing. We stayed for 3 nights and the main dish was different every day. Toothbrushes, sheets, and towels are changed every day for your comfort.The only drawback is that the Wi-Fi is weak. Perfect for digital detox (lol).The rice was so delicious! Belly bread every day!This time I stayed while climbing Jomonsugi, but next time I want to go to Shiratani Unsuikyo, so this hotel is perfect! Please come visit us again!

We took the ferry to the island and it was very close to the rental car shop. ACO・OP is 2 minutes walk away. It is convenient on the route to Shiratani Unsuikyo. Other customers said the food was delicious.

Although this place is quite far from the port, there are supermarkets, restaurants and bus stops nearby, making it convenient. According to the landlady, the room was built by Yakusugi and has a woody aroma. There is a separate bathroom with hot water and comfort. There are bathhouses and washing machines available.

【meal】Both breakfast and dinner were so plentiful that I couldn't finish them all. Once you are seated, other food items will be brought to you. Great service. The fried flying fish for dinner was said to be edible down to the bones, but the bones were a bit hard. But it was very delicious.[Amenity]A toothbrush, rinse-in shampoo, body soap, and hair dryer are provided. There is no cleansing or anything like that.[Location]You can see Mt. Miyanoura from the dining room window. A spectacular view. I had a luxurious meal. It was written on the website that there was a swing, but I wonder where it was...? Not found.[Points that caught my attention]・Laundry is proudly hung to dry in the passageway leading to the annex.・Staff talk to you a lot, your tone is harsh.・Noise from guests staying next door can be heard (annex)Overall, I think it's a reasonably satisfying stay.
