Yakushima Cottage Morino Fairy

We stayed in one of the bigger rooms with the outdoor bath. Only fits one at a time for adults but the deck and upper deck are beautiful. Room is overall clean, big and kitchen was great considering the island food opens late and closes early. A car is needed to access and anyone visiting Yakushima needs a rental car. I don't think it is possible to enjoy it as much without one after being there. The staff and owners are wonderful people and really treat their guests like gold. The tankan juice is amazing and they served us some handmade snacks/juice that is too die for. I speak japanese so no language barrier however, they provide enough translated information and handmade catalogs with english/japanese for the whole island. 設備 ホスピタリティ共に最高のお宿でした。立地に関してはおそらくレンタカーなどがないと厳しいでしょうが、レンタカーさえあればそれ以上に素晴らしい接客を受けることができます。海を眺めながらの五右衛門風呂、ウェルカムドリンクとしていただいたタンカンジュースなどとても手厚いサービスを受けましたがそれ以上にスタッフの方々の大変暖かい接客に感銘を受けました。とにかく明るく、優しく丁寧に接していただきました。忘れられない思い出をつくれて本当に嬉しく思います。また屋久島に行く機会があったら次も利用したく思います。他の方にもおススメできる素晴らしい宿でした。

It is very peaceful, very clean and comfortable cottage. Very friendly owners made sure we had a good stay and recommended some places to see and restaurants to eat at

For nutrition / health reason, we need a kitchen to cook meals our way, this property offers a simple kitchenette. The most impressive part of the property is the hosts who care for their property deeply, and give the best maintenance to the property. The 2nd impression is the cleanness- immaculate! They also provided daily fresh flowers, and small desert. The ocean view is fantastic. We wish the hosts upgrade the kitchen heating unit with something like a portable IH EM heating unit, which is only less than 5000 yen, so it can heat up quickly without waiting forever on the existing electric unit, and again waiting forever to let it cool down. There isn't any warning sign to the still hot unit, which makes it potentially unsafe, especially for children around. Another wish is to replace the bed sheets with new ones. The existing ones are so thin, we can see through. The last wish is to provide a little larger bath towels. Their size is almost the same as face towel. Overall, we enjoyed the 4 night stay.

No English name of the place, we had a hard time to find it

Make sure you have a car for transportation when you stay here. The location is away from amenities like restaurants and groceries but the location is convenient. Don't rely on buses to get you where you want - they don't run often. I wish the owners had mentioned that you need to bring all of your food because there are no restaurants (except one with only a few days of service), food stores or other conveniences nearby. If you have a car, great, if not, stay in one of the villages that provides more. It's very quiet and nothing going on in the area, if you are into having a drink or dinner and to meet other travelers after a long day out for hikes and swims. Very little English spoken but the hosts are kind and somewhat helpful. It's a pretty area and all things considered, they help as much as possible.

It’s a wooden cottage with a loft. Two single beds in the studio and two futons in the loft. It is a laddar to reach the loft, so not suitable for everyone. The balcony is lovely and the host homemades fruit desserts for us with the fruits grow in their garden. We were lucky that the weather cooperated, no rain, during our 4 nights stay. Highly recommended.

主人非常周道，房子住起來很舒服，還有廚房可簡單料理食物。我們去繩文杉回來有主人細心準備的自製甜點，很窩心。整體住的感覺很愉悅

Absolutely loved everything about this cottage. The kind staff greeted us with fresh juice and even brought homemade dessert the next day. The cottage is a perfect size with amenities included so you can cook a light meal and eat outside on the balcony with a beautiful ocean view. Will definitely stay here again if we come back to this gorgeous island!

This place is amazing! The host are some of the nicest people I've ever met in my life. The cottage has an incredible view of the ocean. Its very spacious. It has great AC. Can easily fit 3 or 4 people in each cottage. Shower is great too. I would highly recommend renting a car and driving around the Island. This place is a must stay. Its such a good value.

Most remarkable and gracious hosts. No detail is spared, from fresh hibiscus flowers spread all over the room to daily homemade delicious desserts. Before our hike in the forest, they provided us with rain coats because we did not bring them on the trip. Beautiful setting with a sea view in the distance. Very clean and comfortable accommodations. Overall, special experience

Perfect

We've travelled to many countries and this was in the top 5 best places we've stayed. Great value, friendly owners, beautiful cottages and view, and very clean.

We stayed at Morino Fairy for 6nights and loved it. Yakushima is a fascinating island with beautiful forests, native Yaku deer and monkeys as well as natural onsens. It was really nice to be able to come home to a comfortable and warm lodge. The hosts were really helpful too and left us really delicious desserts made from local produce. If you are going to Yakushima- stay here!!

These 4 cottages are so lovely and comfortable. The building itself is wonderfully built exposed cedar and very big compared to staying in a hotel. There's easy room for 2 beds, a couch/table/sitting area, small stove and sink, fridge. The bathroom has a deep tub (yay Japan!) and separate closet area. In addition there is a loft so could be suitable for a family or more travelers. The lanai had a lovely view of the ocean and well kept gardens. Ok but the best part are the owners/hosts. A charming family who bring you afternoon tea/coffee/homemade mousse with local fruit jams, fresh flower arrangements each day, and are just so kind. Their breakfast service was also worth every penny. It was a true delight to stay here and as others say we wished we could stay longer. Recommended to everyone. It was definitely easier with a car. For those who normally drive on the right, don't worry. It's quite easy as the speed limit in yakushima is only 40-50 km!!!

The owners of these cottages were extremely welcoming. They greeted us with freshly squeezed juice and fresh flowers in the room grown in their garden. They spoke basic English and made our stay very comfortable.

部屋も人も期待以上でした！ 私達のために色々と動いてくださり感謝しかありません！ ウェルカムドリンク美味しかったです！

オーナーの優しい心遣いと、部屋からの最高の眺望に癒やされました

夫婦で縄文杉トレッキングするのに2泊3日お世話になりました。お部屋に入ると清潔感のある部屋にハイビスカスやタンカンジュースを用意していただいた上に、周辺情報なども詳しく教えていただきました。テラスからの海、夜の星空、何より温かいオーナーご夫婦との会話が楽しかったです。また屋久島に来たらこちらにお世話になりたいと思います。

とっても良い宿で、またオーナーご夫妻、スタッフの方もとても親切にしていただき充実した屋久島滞在となりました。島で取れたフルーツのデザートがサービスで、とても美味しかったです。また来たいと思います。

今回ファミリーで滞在しましたが、レンタカーが目の前にとめられて、早朝出発のトレッキングにはとても便利でした。 オーナー、スタッフさんの丁度良い距離感のサービスが居心地良く、対応も親切です。 長く滞在したくなるコテージでした。
