The Hotel Yakushima Ocean & Forest Reviews

Convenient, the hotel manager help us find an experienced local tour guide( can speak in English) for hiking.

the 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

There are plenty of parking spaces. We booked a new annex with breakfast and dinner. The balcony faces the beach of Oni no Washboard. The surprise was the dinner for both nights. The Western chef has superb cooking skills and even molecular cuisine. The ingredients and taste are also top-notch. It's great, and it's very different from the ordinary dinner in the main hotel room. However, there was no fried flying fish in the dinner for the two days. It may not be the season, but you can order one. It looks fresh and tastes good. The day we checked in, we caught up with the high school autumn outing. My wife said that the big bathhouse was full of young girls, ah ah ah ah ah,,,,,,,

The hotel is located halfway up the mountain. The rooms are spacious and comfortable, facing the sea, and the scenery is beautiful. One hotel has two meals, and the breakfast buffet has a wide variety. The dinner is exquisite and delicious, and the service is warm and attentive. It is a perfect hotel for relaxing after climbing the mountain. It is highly recommended.

Boeing Day and unbeatable sea view, exquisite dinner, highly recommended

I booked a western-style twin room with an old decoration, but it basically meets my needs. The hotel is close to the port and provides free round-trip transfers from the airport. You can also rent mountaineering equipment at the hotel. The staff is very polite and enthusiastic. Overall, this hotel is a very good choice for tourists who want to save trouble.

The location is close to the pier and there are supermarkets nearby Not bad for one stay and two meals

酒店位置距離碼頭很近，走路可到，辦理入住無障礙，內部設施完善，徒步後泡湯放鬆身心愉悦，另外餐品也很不錯！是非常滿意的體驗，有機會還會入住也會推薦給朋友～

設施非常老舊 但是離宮之浦港口很近 性價比偏低 但是租借衣服鞋子很方便

進大堂一股異味讓人噁心，房間復古設施陳舊，早餐不錯

離宮之浦港口步行五分鐘，非常方便。入住當天如果要吃酒店晚餐需要提前預訂。

靠港口還不錯

I stayed I here in May 2024. The hotel is clean, comfortable with great breakfast (Japanese and Western). They have a public bath to soak my weary body after doing the Jomon Sugi hike. I was able to buy my bus ticket for Jomon Sugi bus. Since I was going to miss breakfast for the hike they provided bento box breakfast and I paid for lunch bento boxes. The hotel also has a Kaiseki dinner available but must be reserved no later than 8pm the previous night. There are plenty of nice restaurants around and I had a rental car so did not eat the dinner. I got my reservation thru Y.E.S. Yakushima so very easy to make hotel reservations!

It’s pretty inside, but rather empty. I’m upset because they turn off air conditioning in all rooms from 10 am to 3 pm. I am sick and unable to go out. I need to lie down, but I’m forced to wait, coughing, in the lobby cafe, until 3 pm when I can return to my room. The front desk tried to banish me to two employee rooms. Disgraceful. The AC is centrally managed, so presumably they simply cannot turn on the AC in my room. The small gift shop is not open during the day either, so there is nothing to do here. The ocean nearby is a rocky cliff, plus it is steaming hot outside in August. If you are not sick, you can go out exploring all day and come back to AC in your room. However, if you are exhausted with time zone issues, sick and coughing, they do not accommodate you here. It could be worse. The lobby cafe is comfortable enough, but I am bored. The gift shop, when it opens, has no earrings or valid souvenirs for sale—just a bunch of dead fish items. Their onsen is co-ed and naked. Last night’s dinner in the restaurant was a vegetarian laugh of boiled lettuce. Breakfast was better. The cafe offers very little bariety of food. If you are vegan, you are out of luck. Pizza is gross with too much cheese with onions inside.
