The warm preparation for guests who have just finished the courses. The front desk staff were friendly and helpful. Breakfast was fair enough. There's a mini store to buy fruits and drinks just located opposite the hotel.

The hosts are truly welcoming and friendly, going to great lengths to make the hotel feel like a home. The breakfast is delicious and filling, and there are great restaurants nearby for dinner.
Yakushima is a beautiful island with amazing views.
Yakushima is a beautiful island with amazing views. The island is quiet and not touristy at all. Most things are closed on Sundays and don’t chose Yakushima if you want to go shopping or night life (it doesn’t exist). If you want great hiking, beautiful views and a touch of peace and quiet it’s a great place to go. Rent a car. Definitely worth it to tour the island and some of the inland roads (be warned they are very narrow and slow moving in many places, and you will need to reverse a lot for others to pass) It was a great way to see the island all its beauty and tons of monkeys.

Shiratani Unsuikyo was breathtaking.
Shiratani Unsuikyo was breathtaking. Jumonsugi Cedar trail was an adventure but not as pretty as Shiratani Unsuikyo. I am glad I did it but would not do it again. I will remember Shiratani Unsuikyo for the rest of my life as one of the most beautiful places I have ever seen and I have travelled a lot. Words cannot describe how beautiful it was. I wish I had 4 nights here. I needed one more day to explore the island. People should think twice about doing Jumonsugi trail. It is a lot and quite hard. Do it for the adventure but not for the views.

Incredible island full of wonderful nature toe explore, I could have spent 5 days here probably, although a car rental would be really helpful. The buses and taxis are relatively expensive and not always available or convenient.

You have to hike on Yakushima to really appreciate it.
You have to hike on Yakushima to really appreciate it. The drive into the hills to get to these walks is incredible. The walks through moss and forests of ancient trees is brillant. It is like stepping into another world on Yakushima. If not into hiking, then the waterfalls and beaches and tide pools are also great.

It is an amazing island with beautiful nature and scenery...
It is an amazing island with beautiful nature and scenery but not well developed infrastructure and scarce public transport system. Best to rent a car, otherweise it limits activity on the other side of the island. Realisticly speaking the one destination visit per day is maximum with public transport. It is also necessary to begin early, as there are not really activities just for a half day (due to bus schedules). Therefore a 3 days stay may be a bit too short considering travel time with a ferry. It is good idea to shop before reaching island as there is limited supermarket choice.

Very wild Island.
Very wild Island. Good for people liking forest and trails, not good for people liking beaches. Not touristic Island. Organic Island, locals people are nice and helping. No shops. 7 days is enough to stay and visit.
Everything was perfect. The food was absolutely delicious, and exceeded all expectations-- after every meal, I was left craving more. In addition, the hosts were very accommodating and informative. They made sure we had the best experience in Yakushima, recommending and scheduling tours for us, especially during the rainy days when we were not able to do much. They also packed lunches for our hikes. Despite the weather, just meeting them was an absolute pleasure, and I hope to return soon.
Great location within walking distance of Miyanoura port. Traditional ryokan style house, sleeping on the floor with sliding doors and wooden floors. Beautiful room with views of the island. They offer vegetarian bento boxes which was ideal given the limited veggie options elsewhere on the island. Supermarket within walking distance and great kitchen facilities to cook for yourself, plus bus stop is within 10 mins walk.
It's in a good location - right near the ferry and some restaurants. The bathroom was clean. There were two little rooms, one for men and one for women. There was never anyone else in the bathroom when I needed it. There is a kitchen that has a fridge and a microwave and some plates and bowls. The old woman who runs it is kind.
It was very clean and quiet and comfortable. Our host Barbara was amazing. she was very hospitable and very friendly. We had a cracking view over the river. It’s close to a couple of beaches so you can find one for swimming and snorkelling. There are lots of cool fish! Will definitely stay again if we return to Yakushima.
Neesan, the host is super friendly and willing to help for any questions and need. feel like home in Yakushima!!
3-5 mins walk from the airport and bus station. supermarkets are in walking distance fro 5-10 minutes.
outdoor kitchen and dining area is super lovely and with all the things you might need for cooking.
We stayed in the Umisora wing of the hotel. The rooms were newly renovated, up to date, and very comfortable and the hotel was more luxe than we had expected. Handy location when arriving on the ferry. Staff was prompt and helpful. We enjoyed the public bath after a day of hiking and sight seeing.
I really enjoyed the privacy of a stand-alone cottage in the middle of the forest. Since there were only a couple of other guests in the hotel, we could also enjoy the bath fully privately. The location is perfect as a base to hike Shiratani Unsuikyo: a short car ride to the trail head.
Had all the amenities you'd need at a hostel, and it was a bonus that I was the only one in the female dormitory at the time. Right on top of a restaurant with a couple more nearby and within walking distance across the river. The hostess was lovely, even though I was checking in late.
Location was nice and central to the sights we wanted to see. Ryo san was very helpful and welcoming and would definitely recommend anyone visiting Yakushima to stay here. Ryo san helped us organise bento boxes before our hike which was very handy.
Japanese-type breakfast was great. Lunch bento for hiking also great. Hiking gear available for rent. For dinner, restaurant with good atmosphere was on the water next to the hotel.
Hotel is on the road leading to popular hiking trails.
Great location. Basic hostel for a good price. Felt quiet at night and the kitchen was good for heating up food.
There was also some rice and noodles available for a small fee which was useful as the nearest shop is a long walk away.
The accommodation is 2min walking distance to the ferry.
The staff was very kind and accommodating, providing all the necessary info to get around.
7 min walking distance from this place is a supermarket, which we used every day.
Friendly and warm host. Ready to provide you with local information, help make reservations, and share Yakushima's beauty. The space felt more homey as the owner was very warm and inviting. Thank you very much!
Excellent place to use as a bae for operation in Yakushima for exploring the island. Owners are extremely friendly and helpful in planning your stay. Didn't eat any meals there but they looked tasty!
We had a wonderful stay in Morino Fairy. We were very well looked after by the owner and there's lots of useful information about Yakushima in the property. I loved the outdoor terrace and bath.
Very nice place, the owners are incredibly helpful and the Kaiseki dinner with freshly caught fish was perfect. If I ever come back to Yakushima, I'll stay again at this place.
Spacious, comfortable, relaxing and welcoming. A stylish and practical base for exploring Yakushima. It was great for two of us but would also be perfect for a larger group.
literally close to toppy boat in Miyanoura. staffs were so helpful as well
it is on the luxury side of hotel, but the big room and ocean view is really worth it
