Satomi was an incredible host and very helpful throughout the stay. She helped me plan all my hikes and because of her I managed to do the 3 main hikes on the island in my 3 days on Yakushima. I have never had a greater host at a guesthouse. The building has a very fun and quirky interior, it really feels like you are staying in Japanese house. The bed was comfortable enough for me.

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.

Great location, perfectly functional AC and bathroom and shower were always clean. Washing machine was clean and worked well I appreciated it much. There was no dryer but since it’s summer clothes got dried out fast anyway.

If you want a real authentic experience while traveling through Japan staying over at Yakunoyado Taguchi on Yakushima island is the way to go! The hosts are very friendly and accomodating, helping you with whatever questions you have, discussing your plans visiting Yakushima island, giving tips on what to see and what not. We suffered from jetlag arriving at Yakushima but either the island magic, the great futon beds or a combination of both made it disappear without a trace. Rooms are clean. There's two bathrooms equipped with a large bath and shower to be used by all guests. These are modern and also very clean! Make sure to book at least 1x Diner and Breakfast as these are very good!! As we weren't able to explore Yakushima to the fullest we'll definitely come back and book here again!
