I liked the location because it was convenient to three different hiking areas. I had a sea view room which was clean and comfortable. The nightly dinners allowed me to sample many Japanese delicacies. Staff adapted well to my minimal Japanese language skills and were helpful in areas I needed help. There was good parking space for my rental car and it was convenient to a grocery store.

Our host Mr Nakashima was very kind and generous during our stay. He always replied to our messages via bookings.com very quickly, so it was easy to ask any questions and get help whenever we needed. When we had to change our travel dates and book a different room for the last day, he was very understanding and went the extra mile to assist us in transferring our luggage to the new room. Needless to say, the cottages themselves were adorable and lovely! Very clean and spacious, and the beds were comfortable. The best thing is the shoe dryer machine provided in the room. Because it rains so much in Yakushima, that device was invaluable in preparing our footwear for another day of adventure as they would be dry in no time! On the only one clear night we experienced, we were able to see some stars outside the room. The atmosphere is peaceful and you can hear birds chirping in the morning. It rained almost every day we visited, and yet we truly enjoyed our time in Yakushima thanks to the warm welcome from his family & colleagues, and appreciate all the help (especially advising us on the correct port to go for our departure ferry).

Place has a homely feel, run with a lot of heart. The people who stayed were also very friendly. The whole place feels like family. The host is knowledgeable about the area and is able to offer good advice and information, including about trekking routes. There is a very well-stocked drug store nearby that sells food and drinks, almost like a supermarket.

Sankara was like being in a tropical paradise with a staff that anticipated our every need. The property was absolutely beautiful and many of the staff spoke English very well, so communication was no issue. In all our travels we have never been to such an accommodating hotel where the staff took such great care of us and were so warm and friendly. The food was fantastic, and the lobby always had refreshments available for snacking or drinks. They arranged for our hiking gear so we could go see the Sugi trees--which were amazing!

This property and the host were amazing! The place was not only extremely clean and spacious, but the host was super kind and highly responsive with communication! They helped me in many ways (getting around, car troubles, answering many questions) for my trip to Yakushima. I couldn't thank them enough honestly! I have only been recommending this place to my friends who are visiting Yakushima, and I would continue recommending it for anyone else in the future. It is a great place to stay at!

We loved staying here so much -- the rooms are large and comfortable. Everything we could possibly need was thoughtfully explained and provided. We also especially loved the huge bathtub. The laundry and dryer machine was also very useful. The location is amazing -- a short walk to the beach and a very short drive to an amazing swimming spot in the river. The host is also very kind and communicative and even connected us with a local rental car service, which was wonderful. We wished we could stay longer!

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.

Went with my partner for four days. The accomodation was easy to find and check-in went smoothly. The hosts were very kind, making us felt exceptionally welcome on the island, leaving an amazing impression on us! They even provided some delicious desserts while we were gone from the cottage! Since we went hiking it was also really nice that there was a cheap washing machine and that the cottage has a shoe freshener/dryer. Overall we had an amazing experience and would book here again!

I wasn't expecting such a nice place, this traditional inn is amazing and very respectful of its original construction. It's a great place to meet people in a welcoming setting, and the host is one of the kindest and liveliest I've ever met. Yakushima was my best destination in Kyushu, the hiking routes are breathtaking, so if you plan to come, don't consider a period too short if you want to enjoy the various activities. I highly recommend Yakusugirou Shichifuku !

The house is so comfortable quiet and relaxing and having the worst tropical storm in years it felt safe and secure It’s on the best part of the island close to a few shops and 2 bakeries and 3 brilliant onsens. However what makes it so great are the couple who own it who are so friendly and helpful and go out of their way to make you feel at home. Despite the terrible weather we loved staying on Yakushima but so lucky to have found this house
