Nice resort directly on the beach. Many paid services available on site, but a bit pricely. In the room there is a big red light in the room that stays on all the day and all the night, it was not easy for me to sleep with that light.
I was very satisfied with the service and location, but it was a shame that there were a few mosquitoes in the room.
It would have been nice if they provided lotion and milky lotion.
This was once a luxurious hotel, but Yeltsin's time spared no one. He stayed here and even planted a tree. The spacious, well-maintained grounds offer beautiful views, three different restaurants for dinner with exquisite cuisine, sake tasting, sand bathing right on the hotel premises, a huge onsen, and the hotel's layout allows for privacy from other guests. However, the vacation was somewhat spoiled by the fact that the outdoor pool was closed and even bloomed in the first week of September, there's no private beach, and the beds and pillows in the European-style rooms are simply awful. Choose a traditional-style room with a sea view, and your stay will be unforgettable.
The room is quite big, the food is also good, there is a Chinese lady at the front desk who patiently explains things in detail, there is a large sand bath nearby, and there is a light party on the beach at night, the hotel's hot spring pool is quite comfortable to soak in, the only shortcoming is that the Internet is really a bit bad, I hope the hotel can complete the repair as soon as possible and improve the Internet.
It's a bit of a drive to Sakurajima, and there's no breakfast or dinner service, but the staff were very helpful and recommended some pretty good restaurants. We didn't really want anything that day, so we ordered ramen. They recommended a ramen shop that was cheap and delicious, and said it was the cheapest and best value we found on our trip. The staff asked if we wanted to upgrade to a sea-view room, and we agreed. Although it cost about $10 USD, we felt it was quite worthwhile.
AMAZING HOTEL with a beautiful view. The rooms are very spacious and clean and has a balcony that looks over the ocean. The washrooms are huge with both bath tub, shower and traditional shower options.
It’s located in a peaceful area and is the perfect place to relax. They are connected to Native Sea Dive shop and will pick you up for snorkeling and other activities. The staff are warm and helpful. I decided to get breakfast and dinner included. The food is very good and the dinner is a 6-7 course meal. Well worth the money. If you don’t have a car, which I didn’t make sure to get the meals included as the next place to walk to is 15 mins away. They also pick you up and drop you off at the airport. There is self serve laundry that is 300 yen and 100 yen for drying. I’m already planning my next trip back. Highly recommend. Amami island is stunning!
Excellent. An amazing place to stay with your significant other. I would recommend it to anyone going for a honeymoon trip. Great views and the amenities provided us with everything we needed. But you should definitely have a car to get to and from the villa and the rest of Amami's restaurants, super markets and all the other spots. The bathroom was also mind blowingly gorgeous. The view from the window wall is something that will truly be unforgettable and all the staff are very kind. 10/10 no question. Absolutely incredible.
The facilities were clean, well maintained and comfortable ^_^
The manager is very kind and thankful for teaching me the way to the beach and responding to the request to lend me a snorkel fin suddenly.
Great place to stay if you are travelling through Tanegashima and are spending time in or around Minamitane. Many good restaurants are within walking distance, and the owner was very nice, providing helpful tips for travelling around Tanegashima. The backyard is also a great place to do some stargazing, and the room I had was able to head directly to it.
Breakfast served was also very good; a homestyle japanese style breakfast.
The chicken rice for breakfast was delicious. The sea view is wonderful. There was no drinking water pet in the refrigerator. It would be nice if it was also at the front desk with the menu images for breakfast and dinner.
Very Good

We absolutely loved this stay and would recommend it to all travellers! We booked the corner room. The room was well illuminated by natural light during the day and we could see the river from our room. At night we could even hear the water flowing. There were two western single beds but we asked for futons for the full Japanese experience and loved it! The room was spacious and clean. There was a bathtub in the bathroom but we used the public bath (male and female separated) which was amazing. The public bath was quiet and spacious and there was a sauna room. Breakfast was served during 7am -830am with a well set table as shown in the picture. The staff was super kind. Just note that the walls were thin and you should expect some noise but people here are generally used to keeping their voice down. Another highlight is that you can take the bus of both the red and blue lines at the bus stop right in front of the hotel. (The blue line is for Shiratani Unsuikyo.). It is very convenient if you are not driving. The hotel is around 25 mins away from the ferry port and the walk there was pleasant and not difficult to find. Yet another great thing about this place is that you can rent mountaineering gear here at a cheap price, including shoes and rain protection. We rented the shoes here at 1,xxx yen per person (forgot the exact price) and they were very useful. It was raining for almost the whole 5h hike for us and the shoes offered a good grip and were sufficiently waterproof. You can also find little souvenirs at their shop. Honestly, it's impeccable!
I really enjoyed my two-night stay at Samana Hotel Yakushima. The atmosphere during my visit was very peaceful, and the staff were consistently warm, professional, and attentive. Everything about the stay felt well considered, and there was honestly nothing disappointing. I would definitely return. I really enjoyed my two-night stay at Samana Hotel Yakushima.

Everything about the stay felt well considered, and there was honestly nothing disappointing. I would definitely return. The onsen was a real highlight, beautifully maintained and deeply relaxing, and the view from my room was absolutely spectacular. Although it was whale season while I was there, I did not manage to see any whales this time, but that simply gives me another reason to come back. If there is one small area for improvement, it would be the dining experience. While the food was perfectly fine, it felt rather ordinary compared with the overall quality and standard of the hotel. A more varied and distinctive selection, particularly at the buffet, would better match the hotel’s otherwise excellent experience. Overall, a truly lovely stay, and one I would happily recommend.
Hotel services is good ,rooms view is facing sakuarjima, car park access is convenient ,staff are friendly ,breakfast is good, highly recommended if you are driving
There is a onsite parking but you need to pay. The parking is just beside the hotel. This hotel nearby eatery places, walking distance. The hotel is clean and the staff are friendly. I will definitely stay this hotel again if I visit this place :)
the hotel upgraded the room for us. the service is very good. All the staff are generous. they will drive us from the main block to our house which we live in a different building. The room is clean. The dinner and breakfast are also delicious. I will book this hotel next time when I go yakushima.
