Spacious rooms, clean bathrooms and very friendly staff. Self serve laundry was a huge plus. Breakfast buffet had a little of options and was well stocked. We enjoyed our two nights here and would return to the same hotel if ever back in Yakushima.

部屋からの景色が素晴らしい

ちょうど良いサイズのホテルです 移動のストレスがありません モダンな内装で落ち着きます 部屋着も快適でした 食事は洋食中心かなぁ 全体に薄味です ライブ調理してくれるので出来たてが頂けます １つ気になったのが大浴場の椅子が高く洗面器 を置く台とのバランスが悪くとても使い辛かった　逆に化粧台の椅子が低く化粧台が使いにくい 全体に配慮されていただけにとても気になりました

改装されて１年との事で、とても綺麗なお部屋でしたし、温泉もかつてないほどぬるっとした美容液に浸かっているかのようなお湯で大変リラックスできました。又朝食のビュッフェは数も豊富で屋久島や鹿児島の名産を十分に楽しむ事が出来ましたし、なんと言っても美しい海を堪能できる素晴らしいロケーションです。正直少し古臭いホテルかとあまり期待していませんでしたが全然そんな事はなく、次回も必ず泊まりたいホテルになりました。オシャレスポットがあまりない屋久島で、リゾート感も楽しみつつ、お手頃な値段を求めている方にはぴったりだと思います。Aコープが近いのも安心でした。

Magnifique

Superbe hôtel idéalement situé à Yakushima. Une chambre superbe avec vue sur l'océan, un personnel attentionné et un onsen extérieur magique avec vue sur l'océan. Le restaurant de l'hôtel est de très grande qualité, ce qui est rare pour un restaurant avec buffets.
