Yakushima Pension Ichigoichie

The couple who run the pension are adorable and so accommodating! We stayed for one night, and the breakfast was the best we had in our entire Japan trip. The location is walking distance (albeit uphill) from the airport, with a grocery store just around the corner, which was very convenient.

The mattresses seem to differ from bed to bed, and one was uncomfortable. The aircon in our room didn't work.

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.

No problems, everything was great.

If you are going hiking, they can prepare a bento box for you if you ask in advance!

A cozy and quaint little inn nearby the airport. I loved how quiet it was there, with proximity to the airport and a few other businesses. The owners, though we couldn't really communicate with them, had a very warm and caring aura. They walked each guest out the door when they checked out. Even though we didn't order breakfast, they helped to make toast from the bread we brought. The room was a nice size for two, with a private bathroom, and a view of the front.

You can actually hear the airport notifications! Not a biggie if you're not there during the day.

Very kind staff, calm surroundings, good value for money. I would return!

All good!
