Marine Blue Yakushima

The location is stunning although somewhat lonely and far from everything (no chance without a car), the food is great, but the rest is mediocre if not downright creepy. An old lady is the boss here, and she is clearly not in the mood to help her guests. The rooms were not particularly clean. You want a beer? Get one at the vending machine. Coffee? Nope. When I asked for towels for the beach, she told me swimming is prohibited. Then she added: Sure, swim if you want, but you might swim forever. It's a two star hotel, and don't expect anything more than that, despite of the promising name of the place. But they charge five star fees for their rooms. We have rarely paid this much in any hotel we've ever been to, and we've never experienced such grumpy, disinterested and unfriendly service. At 10 am on the day of the checkout she already threatened us with extra charges if we wouldn't leave asap. Best to be avoided.
