We visited Yakushima in July 2024. We stayed two days at the hostel. We checked in in the afternoon and went to our room which had bunk beds for six people. The room also had a vanity, refrigerator, TV and a low table for 4 people. The window was facing north-west, with a view of the sea. The toilet was shared, but it was clean. On the first floor there was a large eating area, a kitchen (for staff) and a lounge, sitting area. The place was decorated with beautiful, large pieces of lumber. Also on the first floor was the common Japanese style bath (sento), separated for men and women. The bathing area was decorated with natural rocks and could fit three or four people. They also have laundry machines. Although we stayed two nights, they cleaned the room after the first night, so when we came back from exploring the island, we found a nice, clean room, with fresh towels and yukatas (Japanese robes). The staff was very friendly and we stayed until late at night talking with the part-time workers there. The hostel also offers hiking equipment to explore the mountains (boots, backpacks, hiking sticks, etc.) You could order dinner or breakfast ahead of time if you want (we order Japanese breakfast only once, for 1,000 yen each, and it was absolutely great!).
