Exceptional Homestay Experience on Yakushima Island 🌴🏡I'm currently staying at a wonderful homestay on Yakushima Island, and it has been an exceptional experience. The host is incredibly warm and considerate. After returning from a multi-day hike completely soaked from heavy rain 🌧️🏞️, they graciously allowed me to check in two hours early to dry my things and rest. They even offered the use of a washing machine for all my wet clothing, which was a lifesaver 🧺.The room has a cozy, homey vibe with a pleasant scent, and everything is new and impeccably clean 🛏️✨. The shared kitchen is freely accessible and features an electric oven for cooking local fish, adding a nice touch to the stay 🐟🍽️. Seeing me eating just fish, the host kindly offered me a bowl of mixed vegetables, which was both thoughtful and delicious 🥗. They also took the time to ask about my adventures, making me feel genuinely welcomed and cared for.Additionally, the convenience of having a bus stop right in front of the guesthouse is an added bonus 🚌🏠. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Yakushima Island 🌟.

I go to Yakushima four times a year for work, and I use it every time. I think this is the only guesthouse that has a shower and toilet in the room. It's comfortable to spend time without worrying about other guests. The owner is friendly and easy to talk to. There are delicious set meal restaurants and supermarkets nearby, making it very convenient. If you go to Yakushima, we recommend this place!

A guesthouse where you can stay overnight without meals. It was 4500 yen per night. The location is good, within walking distance from Miyanoura Port, and there are many restaurants nearby. The owner was very friendly and offered to take me out to the port and gave me an umbrella. The only thing was that the shower force was weak and it was difficult to adjust the temperature. (No matter how hard I try, I can't get anything between 35° and 40°)

I used it after touring Yakushima on a road bike. Each room had a shower and toilet, so I was able to spend my time without worrying, there were delicious restaurants and supermarkets nearby, and most of all, the staff were very kind, so I felt comfortable. The signboard cat Chu is also waiting for me, so I will come again!

The owner of this Minshuku was so sweet and friendly! We stayed here for 4 nights, and our room had 2 single beds, a private shower, and a private toilet room. The room and the shared kitchen area were all very clean! The location is superb as it is near Miyanoura Port, and there are restaurants and a supermarket nearby as well. I would highly recommend this place to anyone that wants to go to Yakushima!

It doesn't look like a guesthouse, and each room has its own shower, sink, and toilet.There is a shared refrigerator, washing machine, and paid dryer.You can order breakfast for a fee, and the hostess is a nice person, so I would like to stay there again if I have the opportunity.
