We felt so at home here. A wonderful property. Free ambient night sounds (from the nature surrounding the property) to help you sleep. The owner has created a lovely place for stranger to coexist and even become friends.

I had a spacious traditional japanese style room with a small mattress on the floor and nice bed sheets. The aircondition was good and it was clean and nice. The host is an older man who was very nice to me and gave me tea. Location is pretty good right outside a bus stop and close to a restaurant. So its an easy bus from the harbour to the guest house if you arrive and leave when the busses are running.

The owners of la Isla tasse are amazing. They readily give you recommendations of the trails to do on Yakushima, the busses to take, the restaurants around etc .. Once I missed the bus and the owner drove me to the place without hesitation. He also drove me to a place where I could rent gear for my hike. The atmosphere in the house is quiet but you can easily get in touch with the other guests and talk to the owners in the large living room on the ground floor. It's very clean and the owners give the place a personal touch by putting little flower bouquets in the bathroom etc. The breakfast can be booked additionally and is very nice! They don't speak much English but use Google translate effortlessly. I really enjoyed my stay here and will definitely come back.

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!

we had a great time and loved the guest house. the room was beautiful and spacious. our hosts were very nice and helped us with everything - even picking us up from a bus station and driving us to the nearest supermarket and ATM as we couldn't rent a car. if you don't have a car you will rely on irregular bus schedules - but that would be true for the whole island. there is a bus stop a couple of minutes away from the guest house - easy to get to. you can have dinner and breakfast for a good price and it was delicious. We would recommend it to everyone!

Friendly hosts, clean rooms and wonderful food. Remains the best food I’ve had in Japan after 2 months there! It’s also very chilled but social - you sit with other guests to eat breakfast and dinner. I’d recommend renting a car to get around the island. I used a company called YES Yakushima who arranged my ferry tickets and car rental.

This was an unbelievable place to stay. The sound of the river, the wood fired ofuro bath, and the beautiful tatami rooms made this place unforgettable. The hosts are so attentive and welcoming. I can't wait to come back.

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 stayed in the ladies dorm that has own shower and toilet. Room was ok in size, beds also ok. Shower was a bit dated and needs some repair, but perfectly usable. Shower curtains need changing or cleaning. Hostel had good backpacking atmosphere and plenty to people to chat with, but of course depends on other travellers. Despite some need for repairs and more cleaning, I'd definitely pick it again. Location in Anbo was perfect for all 3 trails, Shiratani Unsuikyo, Jomonsugi and Yakusugiland (closer to the last two, so I felt it was more efficient). Supermarket is 8-10 mins away. Good izakaya Awaho with decently priced set meals is nearby, I highly recommend it, the manager is a bit monosyllabic but she warms up quickly.

    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!
