Yakushima Airport Hotels from AU$74 (KUM)

"I felt like I was in a cabin and had a porch to sit outside and drink coffee in the morning. There is a bus stop close by. I did walk to Anbo, it was about 35 minutes. The gentleman who owned the property was very accommodating and spoke English. I liked the wood beams and chandelier. "

"The best experience I’ve had at a hotel in Japan. I have a halal diet and the staff were able to cater for this in the half-board meals provided. The staff in the cafeteria were great and I felt like I had a lovely experience being fussed over (they treated everyone kindly). The front desk staff were great and spoke good English. There is a free shuttle service to the airport but you have to let them know in advance when your flight is (if you’re arriving, notify them by email as they don’t respond to messages made through hotels.com). The hotel is also next to an important bus stop that takes you direct to Shiratani Unsuiko and also takes you to the place you have to make a transfer for Yakusugi land. I also loved my tatami room which had a spacious bathroom. "

"The place is very quiet. I initially wanted to hike the Jomon Sugi trail, but with limited time and insufficient preparation, it wasn't possible. However, Kentaro was so very helpful in suggesting an alternative trekking itinerary. Hopefully I wasn't too annoying with my endless questions :)"

"INCREDIBLE ocean view, beautiful garden trail, large two bedroom with tatami space, public bath, free massage chairs. The hotel is not newer, but clean, quiet, good value for the price. Front staff are very nice and helpful."
