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.

It was just perfect. We had a cottage with cooking capabilities and it was great. Everything available what you need. Nakashima san and all staff is very friendly, help if you need help, provide you with information and also have great tips for restaurants. Nakashima san also helped organizing a rental car if you need one. At Morinokokage you can buy drinks and snacks, and there is a free of charge laundry. Thank you Nakashima san. We enjoyed our stay very much and we would stay again at your place if we'd come back to Yakushima.

There is only 1 main accommodation area and the house has high roof, so it feels very open and spacious for me. Well ventilated with plenty of fresh air and natural light. I loved the feel of a wooden Japanese house. Everything was very clean and cozy. Loved the outdoor kitchen, lovely outdoor cooking experience; and outdoor areas, makes it easy to dry up after a rainy hiking day. The home is well equipped with racks and amenities (washing clothes, cooking). The host was so warm and caring, she checked in with you to provide necessary information on getting around and visiting Yakushima. Ask her about the meaning of the name Tomarigi, it’s very sweet. Thank you so much for my comfortable and close-to-nature stay, I had an amazing time!

Spent 4 nights here, using it as a base to explore Yakushima. We were really torn between sightseeing and enjoying the facilities. The staff are very attentive and helpful - dealt with a flat tyre on the hire car as we were leaving in less than 10 minutes. The accommodation is spacious and comfortable, the food very good and facilities are excellent. Very happy to use the free guest laundry to wash dirty walking clothes - it does rain a bit on the island.

    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.

    Very conveniently located for hiking as it is close to the entry point for the Jomon Sugi trailhead, which hike requires a very early start. I had a car and going from the hotel to the Yakusigi museum at 4:45am took me 8 minutes. The staff are extremely kind and willing to assist with queries, the parking is very spacious and the indoor onsen was enjoyable (there are also massage chairs in the public bath area and free to use) and a good way to relax after a long and wet day of hiking.

    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.

    We had a fantastic stay at Blue Drop in Yakushima. Yuki was such a wonderful host. She organized our ferry tickets and rental car. We enjoyed her homemade Kaiseki dinner with fresh sashimi so much that we had it again the next day. The day it was rainy she organized for us to go make our own chopsticks in a woodcarving shop. Staying at Yakushima was definitely one of the best travel experience ever.
