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.

Hiro is a great host.the common room was nicely equipped and you can get bento boxes and some ramen in the hostel. It is right in the forest, so a beautiful place and in the middle of all sightseeing spots.

The owners of la Isla tasse are amazing. They readily give you recommendations of the trails to do on Yakushima, the busses to take, the restaurants around etc .. Once I missed the bus and the owner drove me to the place without hesitation. He also drove me to a place where I could rent gear for my hike. The atmosphere in the house is quiet but you can easily get in touch with the other guests and talk to the owners in the large living room on the ground floor. It's very clean and the owners give the place a personal touch by putting little flower bouquets in the bathroom etc. The breakfast can be booked additionally and is very nice! They don't speak much English but use Google translate effortlessly. I really enjoyed my stay here and will definitely come back.
