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!

Perfect place, behind the bridge but close to the river. Very modern real wood interiors, nice cosy and friendly atmosphere. Many ready made meals available for purchase and preparation in well equiped kitchen. Owner/caretaker speaks very good English and can give valuable advice.

The little pension is run by a lovely grandma and grandpa. Very welcoming, even though there was a language barrier, as they do not speak English, we managed to get the point across via translation apps. They offer yummy breakfast and can prepare nice bento for you if you ask for it for lunch. The location is great, near the airport, however car is optimal for the best experience. The location of the pension is close to all of the main routes and key activities. We were staying in the private bathroom room and were happy with the facilities.

The owner was very friendly and helpful, he was very kind to let me leave my luggage there early in the morning before the check-in even though I contacted him with very short notice. The bedroom was perfect for one person, as was my case, but maybe a little tight for two. I had the lower bunk bed, and it was the most comfortable bed I've had in Japan. I could do my laundry for free, which was nice for a change. There was free coffee and delicious mikan in the kitchen, and I even got an orange as a goodbye on my way out. I would stay there again without a doubt.

If you want a real authentic experience while traveling through Japan staying over at Yakunoyado Taguchi on Yakushima island is the way to go! The hosts are very friendly and accomodating, helping you with whatever questions you have, discussing your plans visiting Yakushima island, giving tips on what to see and what not. We suffered from jetlag arriving at Yakushima but either the island magic, the great futon beds or a combination of both made it disappear without a trace. Rooms are clean. There's two bathrooms equipped with a large bath and shower to be used by all guests. These are modern and also very clean! Make sure to book at least 1x Diner and Breakfast as these are very good!! As we weren't able to explore Yakushima to the fullest we'll definitely come back and book here again!

The owner and staff were absolutely fantastic. The owner help us figure everything out for a next day's trek to Jomon Sugi. And day after that one of his staff took us to the airport to help us rent a car. They truly go above and beyond and the property is also very nice. Lot's of tasty izakayas around.

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!

    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!
