Cottage Kutsuroki

It's convenient because it's close to the bus stop and walkable from Awa Port.They were really helpful with reservations for hiking lunches, gourmet recommendations, and shoe dryers. The room was clean and I had a good time.

Accommodation period: March 2024Reservation grade: Studio twin room with bathroomAssigned room:-*Since I spend about 150 nights a year both in Japan and overseas, this is mostly a memo for myself. The main things to focus on are bathing, gym, and laundry. I don't really care about cleanliness.■OverviewThe cost performance is quite good. It's great to have a clean room with a bathtub for this price. Moreover, the location (although a little far from the downtown area) is convenient for transportation, making it a recommended inn as a base for sightseeing in Yakushima.■Location12 minutes by bus from Yakushima Airport to Gochomae, then 2 minutes walk from there. The nearest stop, Gocho-mae, is also the base for buses on the island, and the bus to Kigensugi starts here, making it easy to access. Additionally, Awa Port, where high-speed boats and ferries arrive and depart, is about a 15-minute walk away. However, there are few restaurants nearby, so you need to go to Awa town, which is about a 10-minute walk, or to the supermarket (A Coop). Although it is close to the bus stop, there are few buses, so unless you are going to the airport or sightseeing spots, you should basically walk (unless you have a rental car, etc.).■Indoor-WidthSatisfied with cleanliness and sufficient space.-sceneryIt's clean and if it's sunny, you can see the mountains beautifully.Good sunlight-WifiAround 50Mb/s-bathtubSmaller(I'm 175cm, so it's pretty cramped)-Hot water temperatureNo problem at all, piping hot water comes out.-Power of hot waterIt comes out well-Bed hardnessQuite soft (you feel like you're sinking when you lie down)-refrigeratorSmall, about 1 2 liter plastic bottle + 2 or 3 350 ml cans-Security boxUnknown (maybe)-OutletThere are 2 places next to the bed.-hangertwo-balconyThere is a verandah-tv setcan be-dryercan be-toothbrushnone-Noise (adjacent room, outdoor)There is some sound leakage from the next room, but there is no particular noise from outside.■Gymnone■LaundryNone, use nearby coin laundry■CleaningGarbage collection and towel exchange only (2 nights)■Mealsnone■StaffAt check-in, they will not only guide you to the cottage, but also advise you on how to procure lunch boxes for mountain climbing, as well as advice on sightseeing routes depending on the weather.■Others・Check-in was from 16:00, but I was allowed to enter the room I was scheduled to enter after it had been cleaned (around 13:00).-The information booklet in the room is quite good. I especially appreciated the information on the day trip hot spring list.・One-day bathing is possible at Jomon no Yado Manten, which is located right in front of the airport. By the way, don't forget that you can use the nifty hot spring coupon (300 yen discount)・A Coop is a little far from the cottage, about 15 minutes one way, but it's worth taking advantage of because it has a wide variety of side dishes and bento boxes, and the beer isn't too expensive. However, be careful as there is quite a climb on the way back, so if you buy a lot, it will be difficult.

The room is clean. The water pressure is strong and hot water comes out well. There is also a small refrigerator. Very convenient to park. A small communal kitchen is also available. If you are planning to go hiking, you can request a packed lunch from the owner in advance and receive it early in the morning.

Super nice and helpful host. Clean room, very comfortable beds and mosquito nets in front of every window. Also great price and bus stop Gochomae nearby. Only little downside: Wifi didn't work for us.
