An amazing place to stay for a vacation in Yakushima. The location is spectacular with a sea view, the rooms are spacious and very comfortable. The owners of the hotel are charming and help with everything we need, they helped us perfectly in preparing the visit to the island. Highly recommend to anyone traveling to Yakushima to stay at Pension Luana house

The hostel is in a great location and is quirky in a very good way. The best part was of course Satomi-san who goes out of her way to make you feel welcome and explain the activities of the island to you. The bed was very comfortable and the curtains do an excellent job at blocking out light at night. The hostel firmly falls into the rustic category and is very open, there is little privacy, but it has everything you need and more. If you are a neat freak, allergic to clutter or are after a some luxury, this isn’t the place for you.

The location is quiet and beautiful. The view from the room (we had the larger room with the veranda looking out towards the sea) is awesome. The wooden accents of the room made it feel homey and warm. Especially nice to relax after a hike. The owner does not speak very good english but make all efforts to communicate. We appreciate that. Google translate is very useful here. Service is prompt and polite. Added breakfast for 700 yen per morning per pax. The breakfast is japanese style with small portions but many dishes (like 4-5 dishes) and miso soup and rice. Meals are at the main reception building that is separate from the room we stayed. You can also add dinner for another fee (cannot remember how much), which would be good as shops in Yakushima tend to close early.

Great location within walking distance of Miyanoura port. Traditional ryokan style house, sleeping on the floor with sliding doors and wooden floors. Beautiful room with views of the island. They offer vegetarian bento boxes which was ideal given the limited veggie options elsewhere on the island. Supermarket within walking distance and great kitchen facilities to cook for yourself, plus bus stop is within 10 mins walk.

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.

As i have said in my google review, i think this is the best homestay you can find in Yakushima. This is my second time staying with Taguchi and Hitomi san and as the 1st time, they are so nice and accommodating. They gave great suggestions ** i walked and climbed some difficult trails and it took me a total of 14hrs in2 days ** my legs ohh...hahha...and they also offered to pick you or send you to the port for your trip. They did their outmost best to make you feel at home which I said it did make me feel very welcome ^^ Clean and cosy...the room is big and the house is well designed.
