Everything about Luana House was exceptional, hands down our best guest house in our month-long trip to Japan! Our hosts were the warmest, most caring I've ever met and the house just had amazing vibes, along with an incredible deck with sea view. Make sure to book at least a dinner on site, the food is excellent!

Great location within walking distance of Miyanoura port. Traditional ryokan style house, sleeping on the floor with sliding doors and wooden floors. Beautiful room with views of the island. They offer vegetarian bento boxes which was ideal given the limited veggie options elsewhere on the island. Supermarket within walking distance and great kitchen facilities to cook for yourself, plus bus stop is within 10 mins walk.

I had a wonderful stay at this beautifully preserved 96-year-old Japanese-style house in Yakushima. The traditional atmosphere is incredibly charming, and you can truly feel the history and care that’s gone into maintaining the home. Everything was exceptionally clean and well-kept, making it both authentic and comfortable. Kimika was an amazing host—thoughtful, welcoming, and full of great energy. The decor in the house is very nice, and the view from the house is stunning as well. In the common room, Kimika also thoughtfully provided delicious local coffee and tea from Yakushima, which added an extra touch of warmth and hospitality. The kitchen also has everything you need. The house is very close to Isso beach, which is a great place to see the sunset. This is the perfect place to unwind and connect with the beauty of Yakushima, and also connect with the locals. I highly recommend staying here if you’re looking for a unique and memorable experience on this magical island.

The owner and staff were absolutely fantastic. The owner help us figure everything out for a next day's trek to Jomon Sugi. And day after that one of his staff took us to the airport to help us rent a car. They truly go above and beyond and the property is also very nice. Lot's of tasty izakayas around.

We had an incredible time at Sen-no-ie Cottage. The photos do not do this place justice. The setting is so peaceful and serene with the river close by. Our hosts had already turned the heater on for our arrival, and again they had warmed the cottage up for our return after a big day of hiking to Jomon Sugi. It is a clear that a lot of thought has gone into setting this place up and maintaining it. The hot bath was also super relaxing. Overall, we were very comfortable for our three night stay and neither of us wanted to leave.

    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!
