Yakushima Cottage Kukai

Very cosy cottage with a very kind housekeeper who kindly offered us the lift to the airport. Thank you again!

Nothing, everything was perfect.

The owner of the hotel was very hospitable. Ecquiped with Google translator and brought me late at night to grocery shop! Such a lovely plave in the nature. Recommended!!

The cottage is clean and well organised. And the owner helped us with driving us to the entrance point for the local peak. You cannot be sure if the taxi is available from nine pm to five am in Yakushima. He is very kind and helpful for such moment hikers.

the host is super kind.

Host was very kind - drove me to Miyanoura for food and to catch my ferry. The cottage was very pleasant.

Stranded in Yukushima as ferries and flights were cancelled. Found the nearest stay available from the airport. The owner was extremely hospitable. We didn't drive and he offered to drop us at an izakaya for dinner and pick us up later. Also waited for us when we had a stop over at the supermarket. He also lent us a phone charger. The room was nice and big, with 2 futons and a sofa futon. Very comfortable beddings. We slept well. Basic toiletries including toothbrush, hairdryer, etc. No breakfast but there is instant coffee with a microwave oven and toaster as well. Bathroom was right outside the room, super clean. Good views of the ocean.

Not accessible if not driving, however only 10 mins drive to the airport.

I can't say enough good things about this accomodation. The owner is really, really lovely. I was, honestly, an accidentally terrible guest. We had agreed upon a pick up from my previous accomodation, and halfway back to this hosts accomodation, I realized I'd completely forgotten my laptop back at my last accomodation. I felt so horrible for asking him to turn around! He very kindly did, accepted my mistake with grace and calm, and made sure I got comfortably settled at the cabin once we arrived. I stayed at a much more expensive accomodation on the island earlier on in my stay and did not receive this kind of kindness and warm welcome. I would absolutely recommend this place as the best spot to stay on Yakushima from my experience so far. I will be recommending it to friends and colleagues.

Everything was absolutely perfect.
