We stayed in the cottage 5 minutes away, it had everything we needed and the view was beautiful. The staff were excellent, helpful hosts. There was a washing machine and somewhere to hang the clothes with a fan to dry them, a bathtub big enough for two as well as a kitchen. We highly recommend the menu at Takahira Base, super healthy and delicious.

Yakushima Pension Luana House

Luana House can be accessed by the island bus, a bus stop is located directly in front of the house, and unlimited rides tickets (1, 3 or 4 days) can be purchased at the ports of Miyanoura and Anbo or at the airport for example. All sightseeing spots can be reached by bus, though renting a car is recommended for flexibility. The house is located on the southern coastline of Yakushima. From the terrace, you have a nice view of the ocean, and you can relax in one of the armchairs or hammocks and just enjoy the scenery. I had the western-style bedroom, which featured a sink and mirror in the room. Toilet and shower are shared with the room on the opposite side, and the kitchen is shared with everyone. All areas were nice and clean. The owners were the friendliest and most helpful hosts I ever met. I was offered a ride to some sigthseeing spots or to the town of Onoaida for grocery shopping or dinner. The host even provided some hiking equipment, as I was not prepared for the heavy rain on one of the days. Generally, the service far exceeds what you would expect from a pension. Overall it is one of the most memorable stays I ever had.

Having stayed in a lot of hotels, it was really nice to have a whole cottage to ourselves, where we didn't have to worry about noisy neighbours. The beach was just a 30 minute walk with an amazing coastline view. Good local restaurants & quite close to the bus route. The staff & the meal we ordered were outstanding & they even had a massage pillow in the room which was fantastic after a long hike 😍😌

Satomi, the host, was the most charming and thoughtful person. As a host, she was extremely helpful and I felt so at ease asking her for help with recommendations, help with reserving the ferry off the island, help for changing the drop off spot of my rental car, etc. She took the time to get to know me and ate with us in the common spaces. It was wonderful. The beds are comfy and super private, and they don’t shake. Many fans and air conditioning in the home. Large shower, many cooking utensils, and amenities in the outdoor kitchen. I was scared that I would hear the planes due to the proximity to the airport but I must have heard them twice over 5 days. The decoration is also wonderful and full of stories you can ask Satomi about. For a very very modest sum she made us some onigiris for lunch which was great too 😊

I only come to climb the mountains. If you like surfing or all kinds of mountains/beachside activities. Should stay longer. The information center, MUST GO!!!! The local bus only has paper information, the digital/ internet information is not as easy to get as in cities.

Yakushima is incredibly beautiful, and because of its designation as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, there are many more accommodations for foreign travellers than other areas of Japan (even on the mainland). The bus routes are very straightforward—especially if you have a single- or multi-day bus pass, but it is much easier to bring or rent a car and simply drive around the island. I particularly enjoy visiting Shinto shrines, and there are a good handful of them on the island, but the main Yaku-jinja is really lovely and right next to the ocean south of Miyanoura port. If you have the chance, I also recommend taking a chopstick-making workshop, or visit the Yakusugi museum and do a hands-on demonstration there. The only major problem is that the main transport to and from the island is by ferry, and if the seas are too rough, the ferries don't operate and you may be stranded for extra time (1 day for me).

Hard to put it in short but it was outstanding.

Hard to put it in short but it was outstanding. Arrive by fery from Kagoshima and took a flight back to Tokyo. 4 wonderful days full of hiking, nature, view, stunning waterfalls wildlife, forest with 2000 years old Cedars trees., beach, sand and more. We visited the island on Dec. It is off season so need to understand what this means. From one hand we were alone on all hiking, trails, outdoor onsen...just perfect. On the other hand, most coffee, restaurants are closed. You must make sure you either take hotel with meals or like use, a house we could cook in. And it was a big success.

Yakushima is a small Japanese Galapagos.

Yakushima is a small Japanese Galapagos. The 22km hike along the disused railway line to the cedar tree was incredible. Buy your bus tickets the day before at the information center outside the airport and get there early! We arrived at 4:45am to catch the bus and there was already a queue. Heaps of waterfalls to see and wildlife (deers and monkeys). The 15km one way drive along the west coast is amazing and nerve wrecking at the same time when another car approaches. Lots of reversing. Highly recommend but also note that it rains a lot which makes it a tropical paradise.

You really need to rent a car, and be sure to do so before your trip! Once I got there all the taxis were booked for the next few days and most every rental car was as well, I went to like 4 different places before finally finding a car. Totally changed my trip once I was driving around - I was nervous to drive on the left side for the first time (I'm American) but it was not bad at all! They go very slow there. Make sure you go to the ocean onsens on the south side of the island, that was one of my favorite parts! I went 4 nights which was enough to see almost everything I wanted, but I would've loved to spend more time there too. It was always my dream destination and I am so thankful to have gone, absolutely beautiful and totally different from the rest of Japan, or anywhere else I've ever been.

Lush, green, off the beaten track.

Lush, green, off the beaten track. We loved the hiking, nature and kind people in Yakushima. Could have stayed longer than three nights to explore more trails. Don't be afraid to eat a flying fish -- "wings" and all. Renting a car makes it easier to get around, but we chose to stick with public transit, walking and taxi which was fine, if a bit limiting.

What can I say, this is THE place to stay on Yakushima Island. The owner has thought of quite literally everything to ensure a comfortable stay. The general store with vending machines, laundry and a room that is exceptionally well equipped. Additionally he helped me book a morning taxi for the Mt Miyanoura walk (as the island was booked out of rental cars). I thoroughly enjoyed my stay and would recommend to everyone, you won't be disappointed. Also very very close to the bus stop and a pleasant 20min walk into Anbo.

Absolutely stunning place! Large cottage overlooking the water, with unit bath inside and a beautiful outdoor tub on the deck! This was an amazing base for our nights on the island. Staff were just wonderful, providing comprehensive tourist information, and personal recommendations based on our planned itinerary. I wholeheartedly recommend this location, and would not hesitate to re-book if we visit Yakushima again in the future.

The location was great and walk able from the ferry port. The view from the room was exceptional and beautiful. I have traveled a lot within Japan, and this is by far the cleanest room I have ever stayed in. The owners were so kind and helpful. Overall, I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a place to stay in Yakushima. It was so calm and nice and a perfect getaway from our otherwise stressful lives.

The hosts Hitomi-san and Shigeru-san were so helpful and welcoming. We had a delicious breakfast and dinner, and Shigeru-san provided us with recommendations for what to do and where to eat on the island. The house itself was very clean, the futons so comfortable, the shared bathroom and toilets were spotless. We loved our time in Yakushima and this place played a big part in that!!
