Overall Ratings & Reviews Yakushima Iwasaki Hotel

The Pros: The hotel is big, with wonderful mountain and ocean views. Rooms are big. The staff was mostly very courteous. The Cons: Built in the 1980s, the hotel doesn’t appear to have been renovated since then, giving it a “lost in time” feel. Very outdated facilities for charging electronic devices. Beds not comfortable. Food at the restaurant is expensive and mediocre. The hotel is also A LONG WAY from the ferry terminal (50 minutes) and the airport (35 minutes). Without a car, it would not be practical to reserve this accommodation.

The food at the restaurant is not that great and costly. The onsen ( outdoor and indoor) and large swimming pool are great and beautiful. Thanks to the very nice Japanese lady that speak english with an Australian accent, she was very helpful - too bad she is only working in the restaurant and not at the front desk! If you plays a game of pool, the manager will rudely stop your game if your game is lasting a little more than the money and time you paid (2,000 yen per hour). Very rude, unprofessional and cheap. The lounge/ bar listed under Expedia for this hotel doesn’t exist! Ocean and forest views are amazing. A local bus is located in front of the hotel.

Stunning views, can walk to hiking in National Park, very helpful staff

The hotel uniquely has excellent views of both the ocean and the mountain and they maintain an incredible garden grounds with access to a nearby waterfall. They keep everything you’d find in one of the towns: restaurant, hiking shop, karaoke, etc all within the hotel which was incredibly convenient

This hotel-resort stands atop a ridge with a wide view of the lush forests below and, about a kilometer away, the ocean. Behind stand dramatic granite heights, continually changing in appearance as they play with the sun, the clouds and the rains. Everything about the hotel is designed to maximize a comfortable intimacy with the island, Yakushima. Guests entering the lobby for the first time halt, mouths open, as they are confronted with a vast, ancient, apparently living cedar tree which forms the center-piece of the six-story all-glass lobby, huge blue mountains forming the backdrop through spotlessly clear glass. Lobby, lounges, dining areas and rooms all have large expanses of glass revealing mountains or sea, depending on the side of the building. The rooms themselves are large even by North American standards, with furnished balconies, spacious seating area, comfortable beds, and a suite of rooms where we would expect a bathroom. The grounds are just as spectacular, with an artificial waterfall/fountain - illuminated in the evening - walking trails through jungle (we were warned to be careful of the moneys) and a somewhat challenging trail to a spectacular natural waterfall some 1.5 km from the hotel. Given my colorful prose, you might think I was paid to write this. Quite the contrary - it was a very costly, but memorable, stay. Worth it? Certainly, if only once in a lifetime!

とても清潔でした。温泉もお湯が滑らかで温度もちょうど良く気持ち良かったです。脱衣所もとても清潔にされていて気持ち良く使えました。お部屋も広くて窓からの景色が良く、レストランからの眺めは最高でした。

老舗の素晴らしいホテルでした。スタッフさんの温かい対応も感動しました。ロビーを含めお部屋の広さと調度品の良さは、快適な時間を過ごす助けになりました。ぜひまた来ます。

ロビーの屋久杉レプリカとお部屋からのマウンテンビューが圧巻でした。お部屋もバルコニーも広くてゆったりできます。 当日お願いして夕食をつけてもらうこともできました。18:00〜の回と20:00〜の回があり、私たちがお願いした時はアラカルトのみの対応でしたが黒豚のローストなどとても美味しかったです。焼酎3種類のお試しが1200円なのに普通に3杯出てきて驚きました。 朝食ビュッフェのおかずの種類は多くありませんが景色が見えて気持ちがいいです。トレッキングに行く時は朝昼のお弁当に振り替えてもらえました。登山道具は売店でレンタルできます。 初めての屋久島で、移動手段やコンビニがないことなど不安があったのでこのホテルにしてよかったです。温泉も最高ですし、バス停がホテルの玄関(スタッフの方がバスを止めてくれます)、レストランや充実した売店のある安心感があります。売店ではお土産はもちろんカップ麺やおやつ、宿泊用の日用品やmonbel製品も売っています。スタッフさんもみんな親切でした。

海側も山側も素晴らしい願望！ 丁度海から虹がかかり素晴らしかった❣️ロビーの巨大屋久杉、オブジェと聞いてびっくり！夜巨大ガラスに映るその神秘的な姿に感嘆しました！スタッフの方も温かなお人柄で親切に色々教えてくださり、最高のひと時でした。感謝。

このホテルのお陰で、屋久島での滞在がさらに素晴らしいものと出来ました。また、よろしくお願い申し上げます。

清潔感がありました。露天風呂は小さいですが癒ます。 繁忙期で無い時は非常にのんびりできます。単に宿泊だけでなく、ホテルでの滞在時間を長めにしても贅沢な時間を過ごせます。

besser als das JR HOTEL

眺望良く、温泉の質も最高で、快適な滞在でした。近くにある寿司屋”すし将”も絶賛です。

호텔 조식 석식 정말 맛이 없었습니다. 일본인 입맛에 맛을지 모르겠지만 저의 입맛에는 형편 없었습니다. 룸키를 잃어버렸는데 룸키 하나에 5만원 이었고. 침구에서 드러운 느낌 냄새가 났습니다. 손님도 7월 초 여행 인데 야쿠시마의 거북이와 삼나무.. 거북이는 일주일간 보지도 못했고. 삼나무 보러가는길은 저승길 이었습니다. 죽을뻔 했습니다.
