Excellent location and easy to find
Stunning views from dining area especially sunsets
Loved we could open winds and hear ocean and see the hills and forests
A few English instructions on how to eat the various meals would be good!
We managed though

ホテルから空港の送迎や、レンタカー、お弁当の手配をスムーズにしてくれた。

波音日和からの眺めがよかった。新しくてデザインがモダン。トレッキング用品のレンタルもsalomonやmontbellが入っていたのが嬉しかった。
正直、ホテリエ教育よりもインスタ映えを優先した感が否めない。到着時にもチェックアウト時にもスタッフは付き添わない(荷物は本人が運ぶ)、食堂スタッフも普通のカフェの給仕クオリティ。ホテルとしてのサービスのクオリティは低い。金額に見合わないと思う。

Location - convenient and close to the port
Staff manner is quite blunt
The rooms feel tired and worn down. Renovation required

I think the location of this hotel is absolutely amazing, it is on a cliff where you can see the ocean from the room! that is the part I really like, it is also very close to the port like a 5-minute walk, and a supermarket nearby, a very convenient location to start your journey on this island. you can book the tour group directly from the front desk and they even have hiking equipment for rental, so you can find everything you need here.
The hotel is currently under reform, I am looking forward to its new interior design but you can tell it is just halfway through it at the moment, and the room is huge but lacks furniture, it would be nice to have a sofa or such.
Breakfast is ok, and the dinner plan is average, I don't think it is worth the price, choose the buffet for dinner, you won't regret it.

Breakfast was nice, location was little off center to go for dinner etc
All was ok, it obviously was renovated and it could have been done better,
may be January is not the best season to be in Yakushima

大浴場もコインランドリーもあり、マラソン大会での利用に大変快適でした。部屋も広く朝食も美味しく満足です。また早朝出発のため、朝食をお弁当に切り替えていただく対応もいただき 助かりました。
部屋にコンセントが少なめで、カメラやもろもろ充電をするのに少し場所を選びました(特に、ベッドサイドになかったのでその点だけ)

The location was beautiful. The room was exceptional. Great to have an onsen. The staff was amazing so accommodating & helpful. The tour of the island that the front desk booked for us was more wonderful than we ever expected. Thank you.
To have more openings in your dining room for dinner. We were not able to eat there during our stay. It was difficult to go out for dinner as there are no taxis .

The hotel has a great location, looking over the ocean, the views from the rooms, terrace and bathroom (for the rooms with "sea view") are spectacular. There is a well-stocked supermarket within 5 minutes walk. One can rent hiking gear and buy nicely packed lunch boxes for the hikes. We booked breakfast and dinner, and every evening we were treated with a ~7 course menu, extremely good. It was a totally unexpected positive surprise.
If the coffee machine in the restaurant were as good as the coffee machines in the rooms, breakfast would be perfect.

Great location and views especially from an ocean view rooms.
The restaurant was only for those that included meals in the reservation but that was ok with us as there are many options near by.
8.0
It‘s close to the Miyanoura ferry. The staff was really friendly. We had a sea view from our room. The lobby is great renovated. It was the first time ever that we chose to sit in a lobby for a while. The souvenir Shop just makes you want to buy a lot after you fell in love with the island. Great is also that you can rent clothes and accessories for hiking.
What we didn’t like is the smell of the Japanese style room everytime you came in. It was necessary to open a window and after a while you get used to it. The breakfast is really japanese. For Vegetarian it‘s really difficult to eat adequately.

Close to the port
It was very overpriced for the quality. We had a mountain view room. The pictures are very different to what you actually get, so felt like a con. Old stained carpets and furnishings etc. I'd happily stay there for a quarter of the price but at the current rate it was cheeky.

Fantastic hotel. Great sea view, great public bath, very good breakfast, very big room
7.0
Breakfast was excellent and the hotel was literally 3 minutes from the Miyanoura ferry terminal. The hotel seems to have a new wing and an older one. The entrance way was lovely and modern. There was a nice cafe and some pay-per-use massage chairs in the common area near the lobby, which was a nice touch. The hotel was a short walk from the town where there were many restaurants, some shops and a big supermarket. The visitor centre was also nearby. We didn't pay for an oceanview room but had a lovely view of the mountains. Our room was very spacious with a small pantry area, bathtub and wardrobe. Yukata was provided for each guest.
Our friends who flew in received a complimentary pick up from the airport but there was no such service to or from the ferry terminal, which was a shame. It's not far, but with our luggage, still a bit of a trek. It would have been nice if they had a buggy or minivan to run guests to and from the terminal.
While the lobby area and cafe were new and modern, we stayed in what appeared to be the older wing of the hotel which seemed a bit tired and in need of sprucing up. The wifi was also quite patchy. We also had some difficulty communicating with the staff as there wasn't always an English speaking person available.

It is a walking distance from Miyanoura port and from airport bus directly goes to that port quite offen. The staff are very helpful, and they did they best to assist me when I needed help.
Breakfast has a lot of options, and they offer lunch pack for people who want to go hiking very early and can not have breakfast at the hotel.

We were able to rent a car directly from the hotel, and it was really convenient as I was struggling as a foreigner (who can’t speak Japanese) to figure out how to do it online from a rental car company. The lunch time bento was also great!

Staff was really kind and helpful. Good location close to the city center and to the port if you travel to Yakushima. Room and bathroom were clean, but the bed was a bit too small (for 2).

Great location, specious room with ocean view, and our dinner and breakfast were so delicious & made with super fresh local ingredients (Big plus!)
Front office team was friendly and restaurant staff members were attentive! We enjoyed our stay and will definitely come back again!
9.0
The food was exceptional and especially the restaurant staff were very friendly, big room, located very close to the port, beautiful surroundings, the hotel shop had a nice selection of snacks and souvenirs
Nothing actually, but if I have to be picky it would have been awesome with an outdoor onsen (the indoor onsen was good, though).
