"I like this homestay very much, the owner is a kind Japanese guy. There are no barriers to communication in English. Run by a family of three, the older grandpa feels like a carpenter and a craftsman. The wooden house and furniture should be built and made by themselves. The old woman is in charge of logistics and helps tidy and clean the room. The guy is responsible for Zhang Luo guests, contact and communication. If it is not peak season, the boss is happy to pick up guests at the dock. The hotel is a two-minute walk from Niu Chuang Park Station and it is very convenient to go to Baigu Yunshui Gorge. But going to Miyanoura Port is a bit inconvenient. You have to walk to the Acroop supermarket and take the bus. But because his house is really unique and great, so the location is not so convenient. This can be ignored (๑˙ー˙๑) In short, it is a great homestay, the owner and his family are amiable, and there is one The white cat named Ah Jiang is so gentle and cute. It can be hugged and won't scratch people at all 😊 will recommend friends to live! !"
"The river view room has a beautiful scenery. Outside the window is a clear blue-green river. Breakfast and dinner are fresh local ingredients, mainly fish. There is a bus stop at the door: Xiaoyuanxuan."
"This Minshuku is well located on the main road between airport and Miyanoura. If you don’t plan to drive, you can take the bus from the airport and will arrive in about 15 min at the Kokumae bus stop ( bus stop in front of the high school) . The bus stop is just in front of the Minshuku. Bus ride costs ¥200.
The overall condition of the Minshuku is good. The double room that we had was about 100 sqft, with a wash basin inside the room which is good. The futon were comfortable and blankets were warm. Toilet and shower are shared but they were very clean.
Dining area is nice and comfortable. Dinner is excellent with local food. There is free coffee and tea in the reception.
The Minshuku offer rental for hiking shoes if you don’t have any.
Overall I would recommend this place for the great location and price."
"The guest house was very clean and the staff very kind and pleasant.
The incredible and very generous Japanese breakfast, enough to be able to hike for a day
So much good from this experience!"
"Very nice team, great location, comfortable and traditional rooms, shared kitchen where you can get to know fellow travelers and very clean. Would happily come back."
"Old grandmothers are origami, the room is clean, dinner is good The terrace is the beach, not far from the turtle protection area, the chance of seeing the turtle is very high."
"Across the road is Nagata Beach. The owner was very enthusiastic and led us to find the hatched turtles before dawn the next day. Fortunately, we not only saw the turtles running towards the sea, but also saw the footprints of the turtles crawling on the beach like wheels. After checking out, the boss even specifically called us that we had something left in the room, which happened to be picked up on the return trip to West Forest Road. There are also very few people on the beach, and the children have a great time playing at the beach all day."
"Near the bus stop No.22 If taking a taxi from the airport, it costs about 3,580 yen. The accommodation is near Miyanoura Pier, less than 1 kilometer walk from the pier, walking distance to the supermarket is not far.
The building has 2 floors for guests to stay on the 2nd floor, the owner or housekeeper can communicate in Japanese. Even if we can't speak Japanese The process of entering the room is smooth. The owner will take you to introduce the rooms first.
There is a refrigerator, microwave, hot water dispenser, cold water, hot tea in front of the room. There is a box rice delivery service.
The room is clean, there are toothbrush sets and pajamas changed every day. Clean the room every day
There is a shower room on the 1st floor, which is a shared shower room. Not separated for men and women, 3 toilets, 2 upstairs, 1 downstairs, there is a hair dryer at the sink. In front of the bathroom on the 2nd floor
There is a washing machine, a dryer is available on the first floor."

Outstanding
GGuest UserGreat place to stay if you are travelling through Tanegashima and are spending time in or around Minamitane. Many good restaurants are within walking distance, and the owner was very nice, providing helpful tips for travelling around Tanegashima. The backyard is also a great place to do some stargazing, and the room I had was able to head directly to it.
Breakfast served was also very good; a homestyle japanese style breakfast.
GGuest UserBecause of a homestay, I fell in love with an island. Luana House is backed by the mountains and facing the sea, watching the mountains and the sea, watching the sunset, watching the sky full of stars, satisfying the appearance of all the houses in the dream. Beautiful boss, handsome boss, the ultimate and exquisite room and service details. What touched me was that we didn't tell the time of arrival at all. The bus was still in confusion. The boss and his wife had already raised their hands to us on the platform on the hillside. I really don't know how many times they looked around. And who would have expected that a table full of dishes that make your taste buds bloom is made by such a beautiful proprietress. The fresh fish caught from the sea every day and the fruits and vegetables from the garden make our perfect dinner. In order to plan a route for the greedy me, the two couples racked their brains and tried everything possible to satisfy my ideas, and then drove us to the hot spring every night. The hostess will wash the clothes we change every day and fold them for us. It is a super five-star hotel service! Full score of strength!
GGuest User1) Paddler services are not widely used in Japan, and I thought that there are few such wonderful paddler services. I would like to extend my deepest gratitude to Mr. Paddler A, who was indebted to me personally and provided a wonderful service to other customers as well.
2) Regarding meals, the comfortable food menu was sophisticated, and although it was a simple menu such as salads and hamburgers, it was made with great care and was delicious! (There are some other menus that I'm interested in, and I'm looking forward to the next time.) On the other hand, I wondered if there was another menu for creative dishes and breads. (I think there are personal tastes ...)
3) Regarding drinks, there were many local products such as original drinks, and I enjoyed it very much. On the other hand, regarding the serve of wine etc., although it is a luxury hotel restaurant and from 2000 yen / glass, there is no tasting, detailed explanation, follow-up, etc., so I was reluctant.
4) The atmosphere of the room, facilities and amenities (local brands and environmentally friendly products) are also excellent. In addition, two types of soaps were installed, and I was able to choose the scent that suits my mood. However, although the shaver is a high-class item, it is very heavy and not easy to use, so I think it would be more convenient if it was a little lighter and cheaper to use.
thank you for helping me!
GGuest UserSplendid sea view from a beautiful, large, bedroom.
2 beds instead of one big. This could have been better to me.
Service is excellent. People are nice, always trying to help, being resourceful on how you may handle your visit of the island. Top notch people.
The real ”could be better” thing to me is, the restaurant that close really early (8.30pm if my memory is good), does server only buffet for 80kY.
The buffet is of quality mixing Japanese, Chinese and Western styles of food. And also comes with nice desserts.
However, having the choice to get only one A la carte dish could be a real plus. I personally do not want to get a full buffet for every and each of my diners.
And if you do not have a car, finding another place to eat may become a challenge. There is nothing around at a walking distance except a supermarket.
The breakfast is definitely qualitative. And if you intend to move early for visiting, the hotel can prepare you a breakfast and a lunch box for no overcharge. Basic but good and appreciated.
To have another plus, they serves a local craft beer made with local cedar trees. Quite a good and interesting one.
GGuest UserVery friendly and kind hosts! They drove us to the bus stop and made vegan cake for us. The onsen is also very beautiful and the rooms were perfect for our stay. If you come to Yakushima, you should definitely stay there!
Supermarket is only 5 min away by foot.
MMariiaA wonderful hotel! Only 3 minutes to Anbo Port. Very hospitable hosts and staff. We helped arrange a taxi to Shirotani in the early morning. We made an early breakfast with ourselves. The room is clean and warm. Thank you very much. I'll come back.
GGuest UserThis is a hotel that must be highly recommended. The hotel is in a prime location, a 15-minute walk from Anfang Port. The transportation is convenient, and the bus station is a two-minute walk away. As soon as we arrived at the hotel, the lobby manager enthusiastically introduced the hotel and the activities on the island, and also gave us a Chinese version of the travel guide. Knowing that we were going to Shenwenshan the next day, our breakfast was changed to a bento for free. The thing that touched me the most was that on the third day we went to Pingnei Umi-no-ka Onsen. Because the bus schedule had just been adjusted, we missed the last bus. We asked the hotel for help, hoping that they could call a taxi for us. Because it was already dark, the hotel couldn't call a taxi for a while, so they arranged for employees to pick us up over 40 minutes long distance, and they didn't charge any fees. I was very touched and I would like to express my gratitude again.
GGuest Userthe room housekeeping staff were so nice and kindly,
I can't speak Japanese well, and they help me to connect retail car company when I almost miss the flight time.
when I had changed my flight ticket, the server help me to connect the rental car company of kagoshima.
And now I'm in Kagoshima. Enjoy my trip
LLuziyeThe owner is a professional mountaineer and provides a variety of hiking equipment and rice balls. There are also many restaurants nearby. Beautiful scenery, large rooms and baths. Will ask to fill in the mountaineering report, very good.
GGuest UserThe owner was very, very friendly. After eating at the Xizhi table on the night of the check-in, he drove back to the hotel under heavy rain and used it.
It took more than twice to return. It was more than 11 o'clock when we arrived. The owner had fallen asleep. We rang the bell to wake her up to take the key. I was really very, very sorry, but the owner did not lose his temper and clearly told us what we should pay attention to. It was really professional and I appreciated it very much. The opportunity to go to Seed Island is a very worthwhile accommodation to consider.
