The location is conveniently situated near a public bus stop, only a short one-to-two minute walk away, and a supermarket is within a ten-minute walk. Parking is available for guests arriving by car. The room was impeccably clean and comfortable. A shared kitchen and refrigerator are available for guest use. The food provided by the host was exceptionally good value. Most importantly, the host was incredibly kind and provided outstanding hospitality.

Everything about Luana House was exceptional, hands down our best guest house in our month-long trip to Japan! Our hosts were the warmest, most caring I've ever met and the house just had amazing vibes, along with an incredible deck with sea view. Make sure to book at least a dinner on site, the food is excellent!

An amazing place to stay for a vacation in Yakushima. The location is spectacular with a sea view, the rooms are spacious and very comfortable. The owners of the hotel are charming and help with everything we need, they helped us perfectly in preparing the visit to the island. Highly recommend to anyone traveling to Yakushima to stay at Pension Luana house

Luana House can be accessed by the island bus, a bus stop is located directly in front of the house, and unlimited rides tickets (1, 3 or 4 days) can be purchased at the ports of Miyanoura and Anbo or at the airport for example. All sightseeing spots can be reached by bus, though renting a car is recommended for flexibility. The house is located on the southern coastline of Yakushima. From the terrace, you have a nice view of the ocean, and you can relax in one of the armchairs or hammocks and just enjoy the scenery. I had the western-style bedroom, which featured a sink and mirror in the room. Toilet and shower are shared with the room on the opposite side, and the kitchen is shared with everyone. All areas were nice and clean. The owners were the friendliest and most helpful hosts I ever met. I was offered a ride to some sigthseeing spots or to the town of Onoaida for grocery shopping or dinner. The host even provided some hiking equipment, as I was not prepared for the heavy rain on one of the days. Generally, the service far exceeds what you would expect from a pension. Overall it is one of the most memorable stays I ever had.

Was very comfortable to me, they even dry my shoes after long day of hike

There aren't many restaurants / bars around. You do get the bonus of being close to an interesting onsen though, and not too far away from the outdoor ones.

The rating system is a bit skewed, as people too easily give tens, but I certainly won't do anything to lessen the average for this place. It might be the nicest and most considerate hosts I have ever stayed with. Without me asking for it, they drove me to an onsen and picked me up, washed my clothes, made a reservation at a restaurant, and generally went out of their way to make sure everything was fine. Facility-wise it's simple enough, but clean and nice, and the view from the balcony is excellent. Note that there's a bus stop right by, which is convenient.

Make sure to rent a car well in advance!

The owners were the friendliest people ever! The location is wonderful with a huge terrace overlooking the sea to the one side and the mountains on the other side. The house itself is decorated with so much love and detail - we will definitely come back!

The rooms are spacious and clean, the deck is amazing. The hosts are really nice and welcoming. They helped us with every problem we encountered (car rental canceled and airplane canceled), and were very lovely.

The hosts were incredibly helpful. I had a whole bunch of wet clothes after a three day hike and they offered to wash my clothes overnight. They also lent me a drier for my soaked hiking boots. The deck was great to watch the sunrise from and relax on in the evening.

Highly recommended!! One of the best place to stay in Yakushima!! Clean and cozy place, with 4 rooms and 2 shower +bathroom. Beautiful terrace in front of the sea. You can enjoy BBQ or drinking a beer at the terrace. Great breakfast. The hosts are really helpful and nice couple. They always tried to help us. And the place is very convenient, close to the small village of Onoaida. Nice cafe, onsen(public bath), few restaurants are walkable distance. And you can also bus stop from the airport is about 3 min walk from the hotel. You can catch the public bus to go to the main sights in Yakushima.
