Marine Blue Yakushima

The food was really imcredible - so many delicious Japanese dishes for dinner and breakfast. Only 4 guest room and each looks out onto the sea. Staff were superb especially the 81 year old working manager who is so sweet! No one speaks English there although our group speak Japanese. We used this as a base to do the 30KM Jomon Sugi (cedar) hike to one of the world's oldest trees - some 7000 years old. Tough hike in light rain and slippery in places but well worth it.

The location was amazing, overlooking Inakahama - the most beautiful, white, sandy beach. Our room was very clean, and with a fabulous view. Our hosts were excellent - we managed to overcome the language barrier using Google translate, to very good effect. They provided us with a wonderful evening meal, and a tasty Western-style breakfast, upon request. We were very lucky to see a turtle taking her eggs at night - we made sure to be very unobtrusive and resisted the temptation of photographing her. A beautiful experience! We wish we had stayed an extra day to further enjoy the stunning beach and lovely food!

An absolutely beautiful location. The lovely older woman who operates this place could also be a professional chef of the highest order!! I would recommend paying the extra for the dinner & breakfast package, you will enter into a food coma the likes of which you have never encountered. The first meal on arrival was something to behold!

We enjoyed our stay at this hotel, where we were treated to a variety of delicious dishes for breakfast and dinner.

The property is right on the beach. It was very nice to hear the waves during your stay although it was still a little cold during our stay. The food was well prepared with good variety over the few days that we stayed. Need to have your own car as this place is not close to anything other than the beach (this was a positive for us but may not be for others). The hotel is run by a very nice lady that took care of us. Even though she didn’t speak any English we are able to communicate enough for what we needed. The hotel is not the most luxurious but it is also far from being shabby. It needs updating in certain areas but it feels homey and makes it very relaxing. We wanted a relaxing stay and this place was perfect for it.
