    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.

    We loved everything! The cottage is really great, the hot tub on the balcony is soo nice and the staff is awesome! They went beyond and above and we felt really welcome here! We even got a daily local surprise which was really great and delicious! The location was perfect for us, not in the city and you could enjoy the island and the quiet surrounding. I would recommend to go by car as we felt this make it more convenient (but maybe only personal preference). All in all, we can only recommend staying here when visiting Yakushima.

    My friend and I had an incredible stay at Yakunoyado Taguchi! To begin, the hosts were so kind and accommodating for us even before we got off the ferry. When we had a question about renting a car on the island, the hosts helped reserve a car for us and also picked us up from the ferry port! The hosts also gave us the best recommendations for hiking trails, swimming spots, beaches and places to see monkeys and deer on the island. This rental was the best experience we’ve had on our whole trip and made Yakushima even better!

    A beautiful hotel with fully equipped cabins that feel like luxury in the countryside. The outdoor bath and hammock feature exceptional sea views. Beds were extremely comfortable. The food was amongst the best we had in Japan, each meal was truly exceptional. The owners are kind and caring, and can offer excellent advice about sightseeing and hikes. Renting a car is a necessity to reach this hotel, but is also highly recommended as the best way to explore Yakushima.

    The location is stunning. We booked a room with an ocean view and it did not disappoint. The breakfast was delicious, and the hotel packed us bento boxes to take with us on hike. We made good use of the shoe dryer in the room too since we got soaked on said hike. Our stay was a bit of a splurge for us, but it was well worth it. The staff spoke English and we were able to fill in any gaps with a translation app.

    Kitchen and washing machine is available for free. It was very convenient to be able to wash all the dirty clothes after a long hiking. Room air conditioner is new and very efficient. Slept very comfortably. There is a supermarket nearby, which allowed us to buy breakfast and lunch at cheap price. Luckily there were no other guests staying while we stayed. So we had very pleasant time staying here.

    Super friendly hosts. Early check-in was possible, and he even gave us a lift to the Shiratani Unsuikyo Hiking Trail because we didn't have a car. The view of the ocean is also stunning! (If you stay on Yakushima longer than one day, I do recommend renting a car because busses don't go everywhere, only once per hour I think and stop pretty early in the evening.)

    Everything ! Very nice host who lives nearby with his family. Whole house very well equipped. Nice sea view, house surrounded by nature everywhere. It was a bliss for us to stay there for three nights, we definitively felt "at home". Well located vis a vis main tourist spots (yet you would need a car). Excellent value for price.

    Phenomenal location with convenient access to restaurants, grocery stores, rental services, and Shiratani Unsuikyo. The owner was a very helpful guide and provided lots of good advice and guidance around the island. The Guesthouse atmosphere was relaxed and also made for easy and enjoyable connections between guests.

    Very good value for money, in a traditional rural Japanese house. Placed in a very peaceful location in the island, the lady was very nice and the lodging was great. I couldn’t afford the ryokans in my stay in Japan, so this was a good substitute, and was also the best place I stayed in in Japan
