Located a 15-minute drive from Yakushima Airport, Yukaina Nakamatachi offers simple accommodation with dormitory rooms. This non-smoking property is right in front of Yakushima Tourist Information Centre.


✓ There a lot of restaurants near the hostel, so it is convenient. The room are equipped with fridge, washing and drying machine. Also, there are sorting garbage cans, which are also convenient.
✗ The hostel has “shared kitchen”, which is hard to called kitchen, cause there are only electric kettle and microwave. We expected there would be a little cooker or at least dishes and cutlery. So if you don’t want or don’t have money to eat at restaurants , it will problem with cooking by yourself.
✓ Very friendly and helpful staff, spacious room, good location, good facilities, easy setup.
✗ A longer check-in time would be good, plus some shower gel/shampoo/conditioner!
✓ Very helpful staff with many services available (like lunch for the trekkings for instance)
✗ Open rooms with zero privacy and coverage of the light. Weird dirty bathrooms.
✓ Anbo is a very convenient hub for hikers, this hostel is just next to the bus stop.
✓ It is a very convenient dormitory close to many hikes and trips. The staff is friendly. For the price a very good place to stay.
✓ Had all the amenities you'd need at a hostel, and it was a bonus that I was the only one in the female dormitory at the time. Right on top of a restaurant with a couple more nearby and within walking distance across the river. The hostess was lovely, even though I was checking in late.
✗ Did have a couple of ants around the dormitory table and on my bed, but I moved my pillow to the opposite side of the mattress and were no longer an issue. My adapter also couldn't fit in the narrow power plug because it's one of the boxy, universal adapters so I used a nearby power plug instead.
✓ The host went above and beyond in their kindness and hospitality, creating a warm and welcoming environment. Their genuine care and thoughtfulness made my stay truly memorable. I was incredibly grateful for their assistance and the way they made me feel at home. Their friendly demeanor and helpful nature added an extra level of comfort to my experience. I can confidently say that the host's kindness and welcoming nature greatly enhanced my overall stay.
✗ Nothing.
✓ 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.
