If you love staying at a traditional Japanese house and sleeping on futon, this is the perfect place for you. The host is super friendly, speaks perfect English and helps you wherever she can. The kitchen and common space are clean and well equipped. The shower room and toilet are also really new.

There is only 1 main accommodation area and the house has high roof, so it feels very open and spacious for me. Well ventilated with plenty of fresh air and natural light. I loved the feel of a wooden Japanese house. Everything was very clean and cozy. Loved the outdoor kitchen, lovely outdoor cooking experience; and outdoor areas, makes it easy to dry up after a rainy hiking day. The home is well equipped with racks and amenities (washing clothes, cooking). The host was so warm and caring, she checked in with you to provide necessary information on getting around and visiting Yakushima. Ask her about the meaning of the name Tomarigi, it’s very sweet. Thank you so much for my comfortable and close-to-nature stay, I had an amazing time!

Luana House can be accessed by the island bus, a bus stop is located directly in front of the house, and unlimited rides tickets (1, 3 or 4 days) can be purchased at the ports of Miyanoura and Anbo or at the airport for example. All sightseeing spots can be reached by bus, though renting a car is recommended for flexibility. The house is located on the southern coastline of Yakushima. From the terrace, you have a nice view of the ocean, and you can relax in one of the armchairs or hammocks and just enjoy the scenery. I had the western-style bedroom, which featured a sink and mirror in the room. Toilet and shower are shared with the room on the opposite side, and the kitchen is shared with everyone. All areas were nice and clean. The owners were the friendliest and most helpful hosts I ever met. I was offered a ride to some sigthseeing spots or to the town of Onoaida for grocery shopping or dinner. The host even provided some hiking equipment, as I was not prepared for the heavy rain on one of the days. Generally, the service far exceeds what you would expect from a pension. Overall it is one of the most memorable stays I ever had.

This is a really nice hotel, if you want to explore Yakushima. The owners are very nice and will help you with any problems, that occur. You should speak japanese though, because the communication in english could be hard. As I speak japanese I can not fully evaluate this though. You can get breakfast and lunchboxes for hiking days from the inn. In theory there is also dinner, but as in many small japanese inns, just like breakfast it can be booked out sometimes. We had both breakfast and lunchboxes and both were absolutely nice and not expensive at all. If you go hiking you might as well rent hiking boots for a small price. The inn has a community bath, that is a traditional japanese bath with showers and a hot bath. You might have to share it, though at later times it is often not used by many customers. We were staying with three people, which can be a bit muggy in one room depending on the weather, but it is still a great inn.

I was in the new building. Everything was very clean, functional and functioning, including the laundry room and the kitchen. I really liked my room with the view on the mountains and the forest. I found it very comfortable, the location is perfect as it is quiet, extremely close to the bus stops and 15 minutes by foot from the ferry harbour. The owners at the reception did their best to explain to me how to get around with the public transportation, and they even organise daily vegan (!) bento boxes that are delivered to the accommodation. Highly recommended!

The little pension is run by a lovely grandma and grandpa. Very welcoming, even though there was a language barrier, as they do not speak English, we managed to get the point across via translation apps. They offer yummy breakfast and can prepare nice bento for you if you ask for it for lunch. The location is great, near the airport, however car is optimal for the best experience. The location of the pension is close to all of the main routes and key activities. We were staying in the private bathroom room and were happy with the facilities.

    Lovely guest house with incredibly friendly hostess! It is simple, yet love everything and every moment there! The lady who runs the guest house is extremely nice and helped me book the boat when my initial plan went wrong. I felt home and I also made good friends there. The airport and a supermarket are close by, just 5 minute walk. Free washing machine which is a plus after doing a hike. Will surely come back again!

    Satomi was an incredible host and very helpful throughout the stay. She helped me plan all my hikes and because of her I managed to do the 3 main hikes on the island in my 3 days on Yakushima. I have never had a greater host at a guesthouse. The building has a very fun and quirky interior, it really feels like you are staying in Japanese house. The bed was comfortable enough for me.

    Barbara was such a great host, recommending places to visit on Yakushima and so knowledgeable. The property is in a small town on the North Coast of Yakushima, very quiet and peaceful. Thanks for such an amazing time!
