Hotels in Yakushima

Great ryokan on natural hot springs, spacious rooms, excellent service

Fantastic breakfast and dinner. Clean and well-equipped rooms. A little noisy. Large anteroom with bathroom. Balcony with an additional room in front for relaxation. Separate large bathroom with sauna and onsen, perfect for relaxing after a hike.

The large public bath was a fantastic amenity, especially after a sweaty day of trekking. Having a bus stop conveniently located right in front of the property was another major plus.

The hotel is conveniently located with a bus stop right outside. For guests without a car, a shuttle service is also provided. You can rent mountaineering equipment from the lobby, where a microwave is also available for use. The breakfast was delicious, and the staff were very polite and hospitable.

I stayed here to go to Jomon Sugi. The front desk staff were kind enough to give me lots of advice. Even though I arrived the night before my departure, they were able to order a lunch box to take on the trekking. The bus stop is right in front of the hostel, and the morning bus to Jomon Sugi was convenient.

It felt like an old-fashioned inn. If you return at night, there is no hot water, so you end up taking a cold bath. We stayed with four people, and the room was spacious and comfortable. It was a little disappointing that there were not many electrical outlets. Breakfast was fish, udon noodles, and other dishes that warmed both the body and soul. It was delicious.

I ended up with a sinus infection the day we arrived. After a horrible fever and 24 hours of worrying i would need to end my trip early, i decided to request assistance from the front desk in making an appointment with the local hospital. After not being avle to get a taxi the Vice Manager of the hotel drove me in his personal vehicle and waited 45 minutes when the Dr came out. Amazing service. The...

Onsen gift shop staff service overall. Spacious rooms great view!!

nice, clean and comfortable hotel to recover from the long hike. the deco is old but neat and tidy

I stayed here with a friend on a trekking tour of Yakushima. My friend stayed in an ocean view room and I stayed in a mountain view room, but personally I recommend the mountain view room because it has a great view of the majestic mountains of Yakushima.

The bath is excellent, the sulfur spring makes your skin smooth. The breakfast buffet was also delicious and the vegetables were fresh, I was impressed. It's a little far, but it's worth going.

The Pros: The hotel is big, with wonderful mountain and ocean views. Rooms are big. The staff was mostly very courteous. The Cons: Built in the 1980s, the hotel doesn’t appear to have been renovated since then, giving it a “lost in time” feel. Very outdated facilities for charging electronic devices. Beds not comfortable. Food at the restaurant is expensive and mediocre. The hotel is also A LONG...

I had a wonderful stay at Sadakata Hotel in Yakushima. The staff were exceptionally kind and went out of their way to help me when my flight was delayed, even arranging an airport pickup despite the schedule change. When a typhoon was approaching, they also assisted me with arrangements to safely leave the island, which I deeply appreciated. The meals were absolutely delicious—perfect after a long...

This is the best hotel on Yakushima Island, with excellent service. Electric bicycles are available for rental, allowing you to explore the nearby waterfalls and countryside, which are beautiful. The sauna by the pool is definitely worth trying, but reservations are recommended.

After hiking for two days, I took another day to rest. It turned out to be the right choice. I took a bath in the big bath several times, which was quite refreshing. With the delicious food and excellent service, my body recovered a lot! These three days were quite magical and relaxing. I highly recommend Sankara Hotel!

Sankara Hotel is in an excellent location, overlooking the sea and mountains. The rooms are well-equipped and spacious. The service staff is very friendly and solves problems in a timely manner. The food is also very good. It's just that the menu prices are not clear. I hope it can be improved.

Yakushima’s best An amazing service, reception are super helpful, rooms are luxurious, modern and ultimately clean. Great poo, great spa, dinner at the Michelin restaurant was fantastic.

Incredible all around Our stay was amazing from the moment we arrived to the moment we left. A spectacular week of beautiful views of ocean and mountains, along with a pool and firepit set amongst it all. Service was incredible from small to larger requests. Food was absolutely delicious and varied and atmosphere natural and reflective of the island. I hope I never lose the memory of this hotel...

I really enjoyed my two-night stay at Samana Hotel Yakushima. The atmosphere during my visit was very peaceful, and the staff were consistently warm, professional, and attentive. Everything about the stay felt well considered, and there was honestly nothing disappointing. I would definitely return. I really enjoyed my two-night stay at Samana Hotel Yakushima. The atmosphere during my visit was very...

I was right to choose the ocean view room! The weather was great, so I was able to spend the day looking at the beautiful ocean. I added the breakfast and dinner buffet, and the food was delicious, and the staff were also wonderful. I'll definitely stay here again if I come to Yakushima!

Perfect! The scenery is stunning, and the service is excellent. They always smile and patiently answer every question! There is only one restaurant for all three meals, breakfast is over 200 yuan, and dinner is over 400 yuan. Both are buffets. They are exquisite and delicious, but there are too few varieties, especially the dinner price. I feel that the value for money is too low. I stayed for three...

Excellent hotel! Fantastic food and service. Friendly English speaking staff. Will definitely return.

A super nice Yakushima Hot Spring Hotel. If you want to stay on the island for one night, this hotel will definitely not disappoint you. The hot spring facing the sea, especially the scenery in the morning and evening is great!

Very satisfactory hotel! The hotel is in a very good location, you can watch the sunrise while lying in bed. There is a hot spring inside, the room is comfortable, the breakfast is delicious, and the staff is very enthusiastic! It is worth recommending to more friends

Very nice hotel with very friendly staff.

The oldest, slender gentleman with graying hair at the front desk first asked me about my travel plans for the next few days. Then, using a translation app, he communicated with me sentence by sentence to help me plan my itinerary. This was incredibly detailed, down to whether I wanted a bento box for breakfast or lunch, what time to catch the train each day, where and when to transfer, what time the...

The room was a bit pricey, but very clean and tidy, and the sea view was absolutely amazing. The hotel staff were incredibly warm and attentive.

The hotel is about 15 to 20 minutes' walk from Anfang Port. The bus stop is called Central Station No. 61, which is quite convenient. The hotel staff are very friendly and patient in answering questions. The natto for breakfast is delicious. You can see the sea when you open the room you stay in. After climbing, the hotel is very considerate and will bring you plastic tape to pack your hiking shoes...

After taking the high-speed boat from Kagoshima South Pier to Anbo Port, you need to take a bus or taxi to the hotel. Many mountaineering enthusiasts choose this place. There is a bus that goes directly to the Arakawa trail entrance at 4:36 every morning in front of the hotel. If necessary, breakfast can be replaced with a bento, and a lunch bento can also be provided. After returning from the mountain...

Great service , close to town and free parking

The hot spring left my skin feeling incredibly smooth! My relative, who has atopic dermatitis and came with me, also said it was great for their skin. The breakfast was enjoyable, with a choice of rice or congee and various toppings. Plus, there were many delicious daily small side dishes that made me so happy. When I felt lightheaded from the hot spring, the staff and manager were incredibly concerned...

Onsen facility is good. Ingredients and contents for Dinner and Breakfast are considered overprice. There is no lift access which is Inconvenient. Staff did not offer to send the luggage to the room.

Good ryokan Good ryokan, with an excellent location, in front of the airport and with a good onsen. However, the food could be more special given that it is a ryokan. Not bad, but it was not up to my expectations

All the staff is very friendly, and the amenities are also very good. Very cozy environment, excellent food and very good onsen. Even when we left at 4 am for an early hike, the hotel provided a morning meal for pick up. They really focus on omotenashi, that is welcoming the customers! Amazing stay!

The price-performance ratio is unacceptable, 30,000 yen, or about 180 euros per night for 80s furnishings is a completely excessive and unjustifiable price, especially since breakfast and dinner as well as a packed lunch each cost at least 2,200 yen, or about 13 euros extra. The staff are extremely courteous and friendly. The atmosphere is pleasant.

An authentic onsen, at least it felt authentic to me, being no expert of Japanese culture. Traditional rooms, make sure to book one with the bath in the room. It’s not a fancy place, but really enjoyable. It reminded me of school trips, but in a weirdly positive way. The proximity to the airport was not an issue, didn’t hear the planes and there was no irritating traffic. The food was good and supposedly...

Nice and comfortable stay in Yakushima. Convenient travel from Anbo Port and to Yakusugi Land hiking. The hotel staffs are very friendly and helpful with couple staffs speak English. You can always use Google translator. WiFi is not stable sometimes, but workable. Japanese style breakfast is provided. The hotel will change to clean towels every day. The 4 white goats by the front door are very cute...

This hotel was booked for me by YES Yakushima and i stayed for 5 nights. The interior of this hotel is really, really dated and gets a borderline 3 stars for me - but more importantly, it was clean (i didn't come to Yakushima for comfort after all) All the staff i encountered were very friendly and courteous and made my stay delightful. It has quite a history in Yakushima having hosted some famous...

The view from the room was awesome. We visited in January and felt the room was a bit cold. There are two public baths in the hotel, but they are not real onsen water and they don’t open in the morning. The building is overall very outdated and requires a serious maintenance, but the room itself was pretty good. Nice size room, clean and with attached toilet & shower.

A great traditional hotel in a beautiful location, overlooking a river. I had a very spacious room with a great view. On 6th floor, the view from well equipped Cafe, restaurant and public area is marvelous!

Recommended for those who are climbing. The room is graded and aging, but There is a set of facilities (large communal bath, laundry, dryer, drying room), and the service is perfect. Supper and breakfast feel like hmm I think it's the price of an inn.

Good rooms, but could use a bit of improvement. Overall, its a great place to stay at.

Location was great, the infrequent bus service, if you opt for public transport, drops you near the port if you arrived via domestic flight, or it will take you approx 5-10 minutes to get to the hotel if you travel by ship from Kagoshima. Room has great view, albeit you can see the age of the rooms, corridor when compared with the modern looking lobby. The food was great, you get breakfast buffets...

Wonderful hotel on a hidden gem island, which is Yakushima. Can't say enough of the room size, its amenities and an absolutely amazing view from the balcony. The onsite restaurant boasts a very good buffet breakfast and an extensive dinner menu. I would like to highlight the ladies at the frontdesk, their genuine hospitality and guidance about travel tips, bus schedule, etc. made our stay unforgettable...

The lobby has a nasty smell, the room is retro and the facilities are old, the breakfast is good

The facilities are very old, but it is close to Miyanoura Port. The price/performance ratio is low, but it is convenient to rent clothes and shoes.

There are plenty of parking spaces. We booked a new annex with breakfast and dinner. The balcony faces the beach of Oni no Washboard. The surprise was the dinner for both nights. The Western chef has superb cooking skills and even molecular cuisine. The ingredients and taste are also top-notch. It's great, and it's very different from the ordinary dinner in the main hotel room. However, there was no...

Convenient, the hotel manager help us find an experienced local tour guide( can speak in English) for hiking.

A pleasant place, with a supermarket and bus stop nearby. Delicious breakfast. A small suggestion would be to put kettles in each room and cups for tea/coffee. And perhaps improve the softness of the futons. I would gladly stay again. Thank you for your hospitality!

Facilities: The room is about 18 square meters, which is very friendly to friends with a lot of luggage. The bathroom and toilet are separated, and the river view is open through the window. Hygiene: The overall cleaning is very clean, but there are stains on the quilt. Environment: There is a supermarket across the street, and there is a "Kaizhou" Japanese restaurant next to it. Service: Basically...

They gave us an upgraded room (a separate spacious house). Great view of the mountain. The main building has water and a microwave. Private bathroom. Convenient sink. Of the minuses, there was no cleaning for 5 nights, towels were never changed, and you also have to take care of taking out the trash and buying bags yourself. The air conditioner jams. Conveniently, the stop is a 30-second walk from...

The staff are very nice and the food is very good!

The rice looked delicious so I added breakfast. A choice without regrets The large public bath was small but had everything you needed, but the sauna was not operating due to the coronavirus. It is a good choice as it has a friendly owner, convenient parking, and a supermarket right in front. However, due to the nature of Yakushima, where it rains a lot, it would be good to have a tool to dry hiking...

Guesthouse situated in central Miyanoura. The rooms are on the 3rd floor, above the Iwakawa fishing shop. You check in in the shop, you can also leave luggage here. The stairs are narrow and difficult to navigate with large luggage. The rooms are either wooden floored or tatami mats, you sleep on a futon. There's a large shower room with towels and toiletries provided. All information is in Japanese...

The room was bigger than I expected and the location was good. It was quiet and good for stargazing at night.

I thought it would be somewhat uncomfortable because it was a guesthouse, but it was a newly renovated building, so it was very clean, and the travelers were well-mannered, so I felt good during my stay. It was a tatami room.

Great budget accomodation in Miyanoura! The staff/worker downstairs in the shop is super friendly, helped me break down my larger bills into smaller ones multiple times, and enthusiastically greeted me every time I saw him. The room was quite spacious and clean, and very affordable. Although, you'd want to bring ear plugs or noise cancelling headphones, as the soundproofing is quite poor/walls are...

Very nice team, great location, comfortable and traditional rooms, shared kitchen where you can get to know fellow travelers and very clean. Would happily come back.

The boss has several B&Bs with similar locations but different types. The one I booked this time is a fairly new one. It has clean and good sanitary facilities and I saw many Western guests staying there. The B&B has shared bathing and toilets but they are very clean. It takes about fifteen minutes to walk to Ura Port, the most prosperous port in Yakushima.

Good base after finished hiking in Yakushima - not far from bus stop and Anbo port - room is comfortable

The Auberge Hotel in Anbo Port was very convenient. 1) Very close to the port 2) Nearby supermarket 3) Nearby bus stop for the museum and hikes to Jomon Sugi or Yamato Sugi 4) Friendly staff 5) Authentic Japanese hotel with German quality, 3 futons, a spacious large room on the first floor (there were 11 more rooms on the second floor). We laid out the futons and still had plenty of space to pack our...

The hotel owner is very friendly and helpful, always ready to help with any questions. The rooms are clean.

It's a pretty good hotel on the island, close to the supermarket and pier. The owner is incredibly helpful and can assist with many things.

The owner is friendly and will help you order mountaineering lunch boxes and book a bus around the island.

The Staff were great A guesthouse of this style is not for everyone so reviewing is difficult. It did not suit our needs. The Guesthouse is located in a great area of Yakushima

Amazing staff. And the lunch bentos were delicious. Highly recommend.

Cozy and clean guesthouse off the main road. Room is identical to pictures so be wary of size. Share space (dining room) is well stocked and equipped with utensils, hot water, instant coffee, etc. Shared fridge space and microwave access available. Washing machine on site is a plus, with warehouse space for drying. Coin laundry facility is 5 minutes away when necessary. Breakfast buns are provided...

A very nice stay. Kind staff, great prepared meals, and a nice shower in the room after a long hike.

The place is very quiet. I initially wanted to hike the Jomon Sugi trail, but with limited time and insufficient preparation, it wasn't possible. However, Kentaro was so very helpful in suggesting an alternative trekking itinerary. Hopefully I wasn't too annoying with my endless questions :)

Great B&B. The owner is very nice. He will try his best to help you if you have any difficulties. The rooms are a bit small, but each has a private bathroom. The air conditioner is quite noisy.

The people at the inn were very kind and gave us lots of advice. The meals were also very filling. We woke up early in the morning and were able to see some baby sea turtles. We were very satisfied.

The location is great. The white sand beach is right in front of the room, with a spectacular view. We even got to see sea turtles hatching. The food is excellent with a wide selection, but the drink selection is limited.

Very nice couple - get the meals there aren't any other options around

This part of Yakushima is pretty empty. Do your research first!! Bring food. And most restaurants in the area are cash only. Overall beautiful location with a nice private beach!

A hotel in Inakahama. Right in front of you is the beach where sea turtles come, and beyond that is the floating Kuchino Erabu. It's a quiet, relaxing environment. The food is island cuisine. There's plenty and it's delicious. However, even if you stay multiple nights, the food is almost the same. The downside to travel is that there are fewer bus services compared to Miyanoura Port to the airport...

Beachfront Ryokan style. Great beach, view and hospitality. 10 stars.

This is a great place for outdoor lovers on a budget.

Is it okay to stay for a while?

Big rooms and also a shared onsen which i loved

The house is a bit old. There are two elderly people in the store. If you don't speak Japanese, you can use translation software. There is a bus stop at the door, which can go to the airport and Okawa Falls. Remember to bring your own change, as the bus does not provide change!

My family and I stayed in a Japanese-style mountain view room for three nights. The room was spacious and very comfortable. The staff were all very friendly and helpful.

This minshuku is located quite near Miyanoura port, the owners are super nice and they have a public bath that is perfect after a trekking day in Yakushima.

I stayed here for a few nights for work in January 2026. I understood from the website that the rock bath was closed due to the off-season, but I wish the toilets were cleaned every day. I used the toilet on my first day and there was still dirt left on it until my last day... Also, they don't provide slippers, so it's a good idea to bring your own during the cold season. You'll be walking on cold...

We stayed as a group of three. The room had bunk beds and was clean. There were two spiders in the private bathroom, but the shower pressure was stronger than the rock bath, so if the rock bath is busy, the private bathroom is a viable option. The staff recommended paying an additional 1100 yen for dinner, saying that on the first day you could get sashimi and on the second day you could get extra...

I stayed with them for two years in a row, 10 days the first year and 40 days the second. The meals were delicious after the hard work every day, and I enjoyed drinking Yakushima shochu every night with them as snacks. When there are many guests, the large public bath is very comfortable to use, and although it's a little further away, I also recommend public baths with good quality water such as Onoma...

The food was varied and varied, and the taste was not bad for me. am. There are not many places to eat due to the location, so meals are included We recommend staying at There is also a washing machine, etc., so there is no inconvenience for long-term stays such as on-site I can spend it. The point I want to improve is staying in the annex, so go to the bathhouse It is necessary to go outside to another...

This time I was traveling to Yakushima with my family, so I stayed at Maedakeso, which is like a cottage! There seems to be a Japanese-style room, but it became a cottage because it was a Western-style room. It was a bunk bed, so I couldn't deny the feeling of a forest school, but lol I searched online and found that there was Wi-Fi equipment, but it seems that it is only in the main building (Japanese...

This is a great place to stay for those traveling solo by bus without a car. I stayed here because of the great location and price, and the owner was incredibly helpful during my stay. He provided me with detailed travel information, which allowed me to properly prepare for the hike. Even when my flight was canceled due to weather, he was very considerate and helpful. ㅠㅠ I've grown attached to the...

Although we were unable to stay overnight due to the typhoon, I am leaving a review because your response during the typhoon was excellent. While I was driving from Aichi to Taniyama Port in Kagoshima, which took two days, a sudden typhoon was predicted (to form within the next 12 hours, and near Yakushima) around noon on the day we were scheduled to board the ferry that night, and you called me immediately...

A very good experience at this guesthouse! Despite the other reviews that initially worried me. The host of this guesthouse is in the purest Japanese style: rigorous and demanding, but extremely helpful. If you respect his rules, you will be pampered! Upon arrival, we were able to leave our luggage while waiting for check-in time. Once settled in, our host took 45 minutes to ask us what we wanted...

Visited as a tourist. Although it's a bit dated, the building was very clean and well-maintained. It's room-only, but it's located very close to the downtown area, so you won't have any trouble finding food or shopping. It's also close to the port.

The owner is friendly and the location is good

Although I booked a 3-day stay on the platform, I actually didn’t check in. Therefore, the comments section only selects a middle score as a representative for environment, sanitation, and equipment, which cannot represent the actual situation. But as for the attitude of the service, it was really a very bad experience for me. This is my first time to travel abroad by myself. I am a foreigner with...

Overall, the hotel is very good. The rooms are clean, spacious, and well-organized. Breakfast and dinner are provided, and the taste and quantity are impeccable. The staff are all friendly and have a great service spirit, which I'm very satisfied with. The prices are also reasonable. There are no particular negative points, except that the Wi-Fi connection is a little difficult in my room.

We stayed here as a couple. We'd read reviews about mold in the rooms and bathrooms, which made us a little nervous, but our room was clean. It probably depends on the room. There was a little dust in the closet and a blood-like stain on the mattress, but the sheets were clean, so we didn't worry about it. The toilet had a washlet. The shower water pressure and temperature were fine. The room was also...

The hotel is close to the seaside. We were given a sea view room. The environment is very good and the boss is very enthusiastic and willing to help. It takes 30-40 minutes to walk from Miyanoura Pier.
