Excellent
All reviews shown are from real guest experiences. Only travelers who have booked a stay with us can submit a review. We verify reviews according to our guidelines and publish all reviews, positive or negative.
This is a budget hotel, so you don't get en-suite. That said, all the facilities were available and clean. The owner was very helpful on our arrival and with advice about our next step: getting to the ferry. Speaking of which, this is extremely convenient for the ferry as, even with a large wheeled suitcase, it was an easy walk.
The place is perfect if you're new to Yakushima or a recurrent visitor. It is close to all of the things a traveler would hope for to make for a pleasant trip, i.e. across the street from a grocery store, a few blocks from some excellent restaurants, a half a block away from the boat landing, on the same block as the visitors center, etc.... The place itself is very nice, very comfortable and clean. The owner of the property is very knowledgeable of the island, and gave me some excellent trekking advice I would not have received had I stayed elsewhere. I highly recommend staying at KJ's place, and I hope to return again at some point.

Good location
It is very close from one of the biggest port, Miyanoura, and there is a big supermarket right across the street.
