Yakushima Lighthouse

Spectacular view, I had ocean and mountains. Large indoor pool and beautiful onsen. Lovely gardens and helpful staff. Good breakfast, Buffet and a decent steak for dinner. It’s a ways from Towne so unless you have a car, you’re not gonna drive in for dinner, but there aren’t many restaurants in the town anyway. They’re good bikes so you can ride around the island. You can swim with turtles on the far Sandy Beach, about a half an hour away. The bus system is great if expensive. Don’t miss the moss forest and the ancient trees. If you don’t wanna go see the oldest one, because it’s a gruelling 12 hour hike I’ll see the ones that are only 3500 years old. It’s a magical place a hotel itself is a bit 1970s teal and salmon but they give you cute clothes to wear around the hotel and the beds are good.

I can't say enough how helpful and kind the hotel staff was. Our room was in need of updating however everything was very clean.
