Ryokans in Kumage District

"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. "

"Clean, friendly staff and lots of restaurants nearby! "

"Sankara was a perfect oasis of peace and tranquility on Yakushima Island. The service was impeccable. Everyone knew who we were and the villa we were staying at. So polite, gracious and helpful. The facilities were top notch and the spa was wonderful. We sampled the massages and facial treatments. Amazing experience. Dinner options were perfect. We were very impressed. My only complaint was the breakfast got a little repetitive and boring. We will definitely return. "

"Beachfront Ryokan style. Great beach, view and hospitality. 10 stars. "

"Very spacious and well equipped. Communication was easy with owner. High recommended . "

"INCREDIBLE ocean view, beautiful garden trail, large two bedroom with tatami space, public bath, free massage chairs. The hotel is not newer, but clean, quiet, good value for the price. Front staff are very nice and helpful."

"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. "

"Amazing cottage set in a beautiful location with views of the surrounding mountains and forests that reminded us of Hawaii. The property features an outdoor onsen, a well equipped kitchen and is comfortably furnished throughout. Hana Mana is the perfect getaway for a couple or family visiting Yakushima."
