✓ Nice quiet space
✗ Host was quite harsh and rude. We don’t speak Japanese and the experience was very unpleasant. We understand the rules and the need to keep to them. We tried our very best and adhered to them but definitely do not appreciate being berated like school children. Unless u are a hiker who just needs a space to rest, no frills; otherwise - do consider otherwise.
✓ Yummy bento , lovely staff, beautiful nature location
✗ Lighting in the room was too harsh, needed a second light like a lamp
✓ staff were helpful
✗ a bit far from everything
✓ Amazing food for beakfast, the host was super lovely, the location is close to everything (I really recommend renting a car for get the most out of Yakushima). The rooms were small but had everything needed.

✓ Helpful staff, comfy common space.
✗ Room and bathroom were a bit small (even for Japanese standard)
✓ The property was in a great location with easy access to some of the best restaurants on the island. I have been to Japan 5 times and, while I have stayed with many hosts that I enjoyed, Ayumi was the only host to offer to make dinner reservations for me which I thought was amazing. Every time we were in the common area she was there with us, having fun, and making an effort to keep us entertained. We loved her personality. The rooms were comfortable and we appreciated that the property was on it's own and outside of town. When you open the windows, you can hear the sound of nature without the rushing of cars/scooters. Each room comes with its own bathroom which is great as well. Each day we received bento boxes which is such a nice touch! It's hard to find time to stop the days events to get some food and with these we could eat on the go which we loved.
✗ I had two spiders in my room that I was too scared to confront. I decided that I would coexist and they never bothered me. There is a sign at the front mentioning that the staff will remove the bugs for you if you request it!
✓ The location was convenient for hikes in the Yakusugi Land area (Jomonsugi, etc) The shared living and dining space was comfortable and a great place to meet other travelers. It was really nice to have the breakfast or lunch box options for those of us going on hikes starting early in the morning.
✗ The property mentions that a shared kitchen is available, however the managers wouldn't let the guests "due to Covid". Whether they decide to let the guests use the shared kitchen space is up to the management and I respect that, however they should inform their guests in advance of what the conditions are. If they only allow guests to use the microwave and oven toaster, they should specify that clearly. I only stayed for a short period so it was not a big problem for me, however I met many travelers who were planning to stay for 1-2 months there and they were very disappointed about not being able to use the kitchen. Most guests chose that property because they wanted to use the kitchen and many would have booked a different place if they had known the "new kitchen rules". The wifi was also extremely slow (basically unusable), so if you need to use the internet for work or else, I would recommend staying elsewhere or checking their connection reliability in advance.
✓ the friendly staff, room was comfortable, it has a guitar! I could practice it!
✗ nothing
