Yakushima, Kagoshima Prefecture hotel rooms at the Independent

"Excellent "

"I ended up with a sinus infection the day we arrived. After a horrible fever and 24 hours of worrying i would need to end my trip early, i decided to request assistance from the front desk in making an appointment with the local hospital. After not being avle to get a taxi the Vice Manager of the hotel drove me in his personal vehicle and waited 45 minutes when the Dr came out. Amazing service. The hotel was also very clean and food was always incredible. "

"Amazing staff. And the lunch bentos were delicious. Highly recommend."

"Many appliances to use including coin laundry and dryer, spacious rooms and kitchen with plenty of things to cook with. Lovely traditional style Japanese home. "

"The owner went above and beyond. Had wild flowers on the bed when we arrived and then put a daily local treat in the fridge every day after they came in to clean. She even called a restaurant when we arrived late so that we had somewhere to go eat. Can say enough about this experience on a very small local island. Highly recommend."

"Excellent view. Charming and spacious rooms. Owner and staff were kind and generous. Helped us navigate the bus system and dining in Yakushima."

"This was a very nice place to stay in Miyanoura. The breakfast and dinner service was unexpected. Both were interesting and satisfying. The steam bath was excellent after a day of hiking. The staff here were very nice and helpful."
