Hotel Yakushima dengan Bar

We stayed in the new wing, which is more expensive but definitely worth it. The rooms are huge, with large ocean- facing windows ( you can even sit in the bath and look at the sea) and a balcony. The staff are lovely and speak excellent English. We had an excellent dinner in the restaurant. There is a large public bath and a well- stocked souvenir shop. Very convenient for the ferry.

　屋久島では屈指の高級リゾートホテルが、ＪＲホテル屋久島です。島の最南端の岬に建っているので、温泉から、レストランから、客室から海が一望できました。もちろん屋久島ですから、反対側にはモッチョム岳をはじめとする屋久島の山々が迫っています。 　屋久島と言えば登山やトレッキングを楽しむ人が多いですが、そんなアクティブな活動の後には、ちょっと高級なリゾートがうれしいですね。 　ツインの客室は広々としていて、最上階にあった私たちの部屋からは海も山も両方の眺めを楽しむことができました。 　食事も洗練されていました。夕食は和洋折衷的なコース料理で、見た目もお味もばっちりでした。朝食のブュッフェも品数豊富でおいしかったです。 　「屋久島温泉」と名付けられた温泉もありました。アルカリ性単純温泉で、美容液に浸かっているようだとたとえられているそうで、とろみ感があってすべすべした感触です。翌朝も、しっとりとした肌を実感できましたよ。

白谷雲水峡がメインの3泊4日の旅で宿泊しました。朝食、夕食は毎回メニューが変わり、名物もあり楽しめました。フロントの方は旅行の予定を聞いて、交通手段を案内してくれて、とても親切でした。 白谷雲水峡からは少し離れていますがバスで行けます。ただ、仕方ないことですが屋久島は交通費が高いですね。トレッキング中に食べるお昼の弁当の注文が出来たのがよかったです。山の中で食べる弁当は最高でした。 大浴場も清潔で気持ちよかったです。 いい旅行になりました。

Pick-up from Yakushima Airport was excellent. We were greeted by Mayuri (I think this was her name!) who drove us back and gave us a really comprehensive brief on the hotel, the island and what we could get up to during our stay. Sankara is located what feels like half way up the side of the mountain so you have a majestic panorama of the sea in front of you, and a tropical mountain behind you. When it rains you can see huge waterfalls gushing down from the peaks. It's really spectacular. Check-in was welcoming and seamless. Bags already in our room when we got there. The room itself was phenomenal. It reminded me of being in Thailand - really tropical, very large, and well-equipped. Welcome snacks and a comp minibar were great. The bed was massive and comfortable - really easy to sleep well here. The bathroom was massive and had excellent Thann toiletries. The food at Sankara really makes it stand out. The breakfasts are superb and fill you up for the day. They change buffet options just enough each day to keep things interesting. Their baked options are, oh, wow... Custard tarts, curry bread, black tea melon pan... The dinners are otherworldly. The main restaurant, which was included in our price, had an excellent daily menu with phenomenal specials. We 'upgraded' to the fancier restaurant upstairs one night and had an even more elevated experience - an exquisite menu and elevated service. I also fell in love with Nanbu Bijin sake here. They have a great range of local shochus and beers too. The main lounge is open all day and they have beer/shochu on tap - as well as a great selection of snacks and baked products (which are all excellent). They also put out a full bar each evening for happy hour. They do car hire here which made exploring the island so easy (includes insurance and petrol - think I spent Y6,600 for several hours). They also rent out waterproof clothing - and hiking boots - making is SO easy to explore and trek up the island's famous mountains. There was a full-on typhoon here during one of our days but it didn't matter - just added to the atmosphere of the hotel, in which we had a snug and lazy day. The gym is simple but sufficient for anything you need - important for burning off some of the calories from all the great dining options they have. The pool is awesome - but a little cold while we were there. But it's the staff here that make it so special. They always seem to anticipate your needs - and do so in such an unobtrusive, subtle, accommodating way. I've never come across anything like it in Japan. I will definitely come back one day. There's so much more I could say but words wouldn't do it justice. You have to experience this magical place for yourself.

We spent 2 nights here at the beginning of March and absolutely loved it. We had two Japanese style rooms (one per person), with Tatami mats on the floor and Futons as a bed. We had a toilet, but a bit strangely no shower, which was not a problem, because in the indoor and outdoor baths, there are good shower facilities. The rooms are a bit small, but totally okay for one person (for two persons it would be a bit crowded). The indoor and outdoor baths are lovely and as usual, separated by gender. We had halfboard included, which was amazing. Dinner is a several courses Kaiseki dinner, and really tasty and diverse. If you dont eat meat, seafood and fish, you will not be happy however. Breakfast is a japanese bento box, and a small buffet. For lunch, you can order a bento box, which we did, and which was very tasty and the best bento box I had so far in 3 trips to Japan. Staff is very friendly, and even if they dont speak much englisch, they really go out of their way to help. The Ryokan is just opposite the small airport, where there is also a bus stop. In easy walking distance there are two supermarkets, and a very good italian restaurants (Il Mare), which make excellent pizza and pasta, using local ingredients like shitake mushrooms and boar meat. The buses run very unfrequently, so you are better off with a rental car. Its excellent value for money, especially if you love japanese food.

Morinokokage was by far the best place we stayed during our trip. The rooms were big, clean and very comfortable. There’s free laundry machines/dryers and a building open 24/7 with food and drink vending machines. Our host, Nakashima-San was incredibly helpful and welcoming. He gave us a detailed tour of our rooms when we checked in, booked reservations for us at his favorite local spots and gave advice on how to best spend our two days on the island. When the weather changed our plans, he repeatedly checked in with us with helpful updates. After we told him we were going to hike in shiratani unsuikyo the next morning, he knocked on our door an hour or so later to give us a lighter and salt in case of leeches! He also gifted us a hefty bag of tea the morning we left. Don’t hesitate, this is a really special place and Nakashima-San is a deeply caring and wise host.
