The Hotel Yakushima Ocean & Forest

the room housekeeping staff were so nice and kindly, I can't speak Japanese well, and they help me to connect retail car company when I almost miss the flight time. when I had changed my flight ticket, the server help me to connect the rental car company of kagoshima. And now I'm in Kagoshima. Enjoy my trip

停車位充足，訂的是帶早晚餐的新別館陽台就對着鬼之搓衣板的海灘，驚喜竟然是兩個晚上的晚餐，西餐大廚廚藝精湛，居然還有分子料理，食材和味道也是上稱，大讚，而且跟本館房間的普通晚餐差別很大。不過2天的晚餐裏沒有炸飛魚，可能不是季節，但是可以單點一條就是看着新鮮味道一般。入住的當天趕上高中學校秋遊，我老婆説大浴場裏都是年輕的妹子啊啊啊啊啊，，，，，，，，

波音日和無敵海景，晚餐精緻，強烈推薦

定的是西式雙床房，裝修比較老，不過也基本都能滿足需求。酒店離港口近，提供機場的免費來回接駁，還可以在酒店租登山裝備。工作人員非常禮貌熱情。總體來説這個酒店對於想省心的遊客來説是非常不錯的選擇。

I stayed I here in May 2024. The hotel is clean, comfortable with great breakfast (Japanese and Western). They have a public bath to soak my weary body after doing the Jomon Sugi hike. I was able to buy my bus ticket for Jomon Sugi bus. Since I was going to miss breakfast for the hike they provided bento box breakfast and I paid for lunch bento boxes. The hotel also has a Kaiseki dinner available but must be reserved no later than 8pm the previous night. There are plenty of nice restaurants around and I had a rental car so did not eat the dinner. I got my reservation thru Y.E.S. Yakushima so very easy to make hotel reservations!

It’s pretty inside, but rather empty. I’m upset because they turn off air conditioning in all rooms from 10 am to 3 pm. I am sick and unable to go out. I need to lie down, but I’m forced to wait, coughing, in the lobby cafe, until 3 pm when I can return to my room. The front desk tried to banish me to two employee rooms. Disgraceful. The AC is centrally managed, so presumably they simply cannot turn on the AC in my room. The small gift shop is not open during the day either, so there is nothing to do here. The ocean nearby is a rocky cliff, plus it is steaming hot outside in August. If you are not sick, you can go out exploring all day and come back to AC in your room. However, if you are exhausted with time zone issues, sick and coughing, they do not accommodate you here. It could be worse. The lobby cafe is comfortable enough, but I am bored. The gift shop, when it opens, has no earrings or valid souvenirs for sale—just a bunch of dead fish items. Their onsen is co-ed and naked. Last night’s dinner in the restaurant was a vegetarian laugh of boiled lettuce. Breakfast was better. The cafe offers very little bariety of food. If you are vegan, you are out of luck. Pizza is gross with too much cheese with onions inside.
