Ryokans in Yakushima

The location couldn't be better, it is literally across the street from the airport. Bus stops are very plentiful nearby and the hotel staff is very well versed in showing you exactly which buses you need to get to your destination on the island. They are able to call taxis for you if necessary as well. All around wonderful location and very helpful staff!

This place wasn't too expensive, but the room was still comfortable but very simple and plain. The owner only speaks Japanese, but he uses google translate on his phone to communicate concerns and requests. He was very helpful and will try and may sure you are coming back to a hot bath after a day of hiking and wilderness activities. I stayed here 3 nights and it was a pleasant stay. It is not related to the lodging but I would highly recommend Go Yakushima Tours. Although sometimes it was hard to contact them and work things out. My guides Steve and Hiroko did a very good job and I learned a lot about Yakushima. Hiroko was able to arrange for us to visit one of the top woodcraftsmen on the Island. I enjoyed the tours.
