Perfect in all ways possible
Pros:

Everything was perfect - beautiful place with amazing people! We had a lovely 6 nights stay, enjoying the landscape and views, delicious food and especially the incredible service of the staff. This is the place to unwind and the best base to travel around the island by local bus.

ホスピタリティあふれるお宿でした。
Pros:

朝晩の食事が美味しかった、キャンプファイヤーしながら夜空の星を眺めたり蛍が飛んでいたり素晴らしく静かな環境でした。車も貸していただけてラッキーでした。

Cons:

クレソンを栽培されている方で朝晩と４泊毎回出て少々飽き気味となりにけり！

Pros:

屋久島の大自然を心から感じられる素敵なお宿でした。
目の前に広がる水平線、満天の星空、静かな空間…まるで“大人の秘密基地”のようでした。
オーナーさん、スタッフの皆様もとても温かく親切で、心地よく過ごすことができました。
お料理も本当に美味しかったです。特にクレソン料理が印象的でした。
そして滞在中には、幻想的な蛍まで見ることができ、一生忘れられない思い出になりました。
またぜひ泊まりたいと思います。

Beautiful ocean view stay
Pros:

The service was excellent! They took me to the airport and dropped me off at the bus station when I needed to use the bus. It was my birthday and they got me a cake and played/sang with the saxophone! The view from the deck is incredible, and you can see the sunrise in the morning, stars at night. The weather on the south side of the island is so much warmer than the north, too. Glad I stayed in the southern part. Keisuke makes incredible breakfasts. Splurge on one of their dinners. This place is best for couples with a car cuz of the room size and the location.

Cons:

Maybe cover the big window in the room with a curtain to darken the room? But I’m sensitive to light🤷🏻‍♀️

Luxurious and unique wooden dome property with all the amentities you could ask for and super friendly team to boot!
Pros:

Beautiful view from the deck and Alice place to practice yoga. Very spacious room with mini fridge and water kettle. The meals were exceptionally delicious and the staff felt more like friends than employees. We even had a jam session one night with the various instruments at the property. I was able to get a rental car through the property which was SO clutch!

Cons:

Nothing - it was perfect.

Vi kom med snabbfärjan från Kagoshima, hämtade ut en hyrbil och besökte ett urval platser på ön.
Pros:

Frukosten var bra och välgjord. För oss som besökare från Sverige är det ovant att få en tillagad liten barracuda ihop med tre olika delikata sallader istället för en tallrik filmjölk och en smörgås. En så fin Japansk frukost vill man gärna ha när man valt att resa långt hemifrån.

Cons:

Lite svårt att hitta första gången. Lågmälda Japaner använder inte stora skyltar.... Vi fick ringa och fråga hur man bäst hittar fram då vi kört förbi vid första försöket. Sedan gick det bra.

Exceptional
Pros:

Beautiful location. Owner and staff were beyond friendly and amazing and very gracious and welcoming.

Cons:

Expectations need to be set on modern comforts. Beds are traditional Japanese. Room is in a loft, but has AC. Other retail customers share the common areas. Shower is a shared space.
