This guesthouse is a 100-year-old traditional house nestled in the nature of Yakushima. Guests describe it as a 'hidden gem' where one can fully experience the essence of the island. The cozy atmosphere of the traditional Japanese wooden architecture, combined with the scent of cedar, leaves a lasting impression on visitors.
Warm hospitality from the host and a communal atmosphere are frequently highlighted in reviews. Many guests mention feeling as comfortable as if they were staying at a friend's house, and the property is described as a lively space where interactions between guests occur naturally. The rooms are spacious and well-maintained, ensuring a comfortable stay without the typical inconveniences of an old house.
However, it is commonly noted that public transportation is inconvenient. Frequent bus service is not available, so renting a car is highly recommended.
