The cottages are very cute and comfortable. Also the kitchen is well equipped. We made breakfast every morning. The owner of the property is very friendly, professional and helpful. He made a reservation for us at the sushi restaurant Iso no kari ,which was amazing and very authentic. Also the Slow pasta restaurant was very good. They both are 10-15 walk from the property.

My experience at Cottage Morinokokage was fantastic. The kindness and hospitality of Mr. Nakashima cannot be understated. The cottage was pleasant, comfortable, and full of every amenity we wanted (plus more). Mr. Nakashima helped us book our car rental, which was an essential part of the island experience for us. Getting to come and go as needed and stock up the car with hiking supplies was incredibly helpful. We also leaned on him for reservations for dinner and to a chopstick making class near the airport. Yakushima is a truly special place and Cottage Morinokokage was an essential part of the experience.

Cottage Morinokokage is absolutely beautiful and Disney-like. Situated in a quiet little corner of stunning Yakushima, it is the perfect place for a relaxing vacation. Our quaint wooden cottage blew me away- comfortable and warm futons, lots of space, all the amenities you would need, and a very clean, lovely bathroom. We also had such a warm welcome from the owner, who spoke good English and is really friendly and cute! Location wise, it is near Port Anbo but quite a distance from the main and busier port- Miyanoura. As the public buses are really infrequent, travelers who don’t drive (like us) should study the bus schedules beforehand and plan their itineraries accordingly. If you drive, that’s even more reason to stay at this magical place. A simple breakfast of bread is provided, and for a small cost they also provide delicious bentos for your hikes, which we really loved! For me, enjoying the cottage was an attraction in itself :) as a bonus, lots of stars come out to play on a clear night- wonderful treat for stargazers. I only just left the cottage and I miss it dearly already.

This is the perfect place to stay on Yakushima. Each house is charming, excellent amenities. Washing machines on property. Excellent location. The owner is extremely nice and helpful, he speaks English. Our stay was great. In general on Yakushima rental car is a big help it’s super easy and inexpensive to rent right next to airport they pick you up and drop you off for your flight/ferry. But as far as hiking I would recommend a guide because roads to hiking trails are one lane with two way traffic on them very high in the mountains coming from US I was too scared to drive there myself, around the island is fine. We had the best guide ever, Mizuha for 3 days, her company is office@sangakutaro.com there is no website in English yet but they speak English. They are the best.

The place was very nice, quiet, conveniently located. Owner was very friendly, washer and dryer were very useful. There is a set of vending machines that are available on-site with food, drinks, etc. if you need anything. They provide other services if you request it (bento lunches, etc.).

Very friendly service and clean property. Mattresses were very comfortable. The room was rather small for two but enough. There was a very popular sushi restaurant at walking distance.

Great find in Yakushima
We really enjoyed staying here, the owner was very helpful before we arrived ensuring we had all the information prior to our stay such as taxis, ferry tickets etc. The cottages themselves are very cute, very clean and had a rustic charm. We wanted a more authentic Japanese stay and this more than surpassed that. Location is very close to Anbo, the airport and Miyanoura isn't too far. So glad we chose this over a standard hotel.

スタッフの方々が明るく接客していただき、安心してすごすことができました。 デザイン性の高いコテージで、自然に囲まれ、 それでいて清潔感が保たれていました。 虫などもあまり気にならず、手入れがなされていると思います。  帰りはアイコンタクトが入らず、5分ほど遅れてしまったのですが、遅れてしまうと延長料金2000円とのことなので気を付けて準備しましょう。 金額も考えるとかなりコスパも良いし、それでいて清潔感のあるコテージに周囲の騒音を気にせず泊まることができるのでかなりオススメです!

スタッフの方がとても親切です
海外でロードトリップする際に泊まるモーテルに似ている。これにアミューズメントパークのようなかわいいたたずまいがプラスされているイメージ。 各室が独立したコテージなので玄関前まで車を乗りつけられるのが、大きな荷物を持っている際便利。 部屋によると思うが外にデッキがあり、ハンモックが準備されている。このデッキで食事をすることもできるし滞在時間をのんびり楽しむこともできる。 また、スタッフの方がとてもフレンドリーで親切であることを特筆したい。観光やおすすめのお店のことなども教えてくれるし、トレッキング後には「くつ乾燥機を持って行こうか」と声をかけてくださった。
