Lovely guest house with incredibly friendly hostess! It is simple, yet love everything and every moment there! The lady who runs the guest house is extremely nice and helped me book the boat when my initial plan went wrong. I felt home and I also made good friends there. The airport and a supermarket are close by, just 5 minute walk. Free washing machine which is a plus after doing a hike. Will surely come back again!

Perfect place, behind the bridge but close to the river. Very modern real wood interiors, nice cosy and friendly atmosphere. Many ready made meals available for purchase and preparation in well equiped kitchen. Owner/caretaker speaks very good English and can give valuable advice.

We felt so at home here. A wonderful property. Free ambient night sounds (from the nature surrounding the property) to help you sleep. The owner has created a lovely place for stranger to coexist and even become friends.

The owner was very friendly and helpful, he was very kind to let me leave my luggage there early in the morning before the check-in even though I contacted him with very short notice. The bedroom was perfect for one person, as was my case, but maybe a little tight for two. I had the lower bunk bed, and it was the most comfortable bed I've had in Japan. I could do my laundry for free, which was nice for a change. There was free coffee and delicious mikan in the kitchen, and I even got an orange as a goodbye on my way out. I would stay there again without a doubt.

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!

The owner and staff were absolutely fantastic. The owner help us figure everything out for a next day's trek to Jomon Sugi. And day after that one of his staff took us to the airport to help us rent a car. They truly go above and beyond and the property is also very nice. Lot's of tasty izakayas around.
