Ananda Chillage Yakushima

We stayed 5 nights at this wonderful B&B, and we absolutely loved it! The rooms are beautifully and tastefully designed, and everything has been thoughtfully created with sustainability in mind. We enjoyed the stunning sea view from our terrace and the opportunity to take a walk in the woods before breakfast. The owners are lovely, too. Miki is such a talented chef! Every morning, she prepared amazing breakfasts using fresh, local ingredients, and everything was simply delicious. She even treated us to Japanese-style breakfasts on two occasions and baked fresh gluten-free bread. I would also highly recommend joining one of her yoga classes if you’re in the area. Before leaving, we also bought some fantastic magazines and merchandise from her husband’s publishing label.

Gorgeous room on a lovely property with kind and attentive staff. Delicious breakfast every morning was the best way to start our days full of adventure. Comfortable beds and a nice shower for a relaxing end to the day.

החדרים היו מקסימים ומאובזרים . המארחת עזרה לנו בתכנון הפעילות באי , עזרה לקבוע מקום במסעדות , הכינה לנו מגבות ובגד לשמוש באונסן . ארוחת הבוקר היתה מקסימה . התקשורת איתה בכתב היתה נהדרת . היא חשבה ונתנה תשומת לב לכל הפרטים כדי שיהיה לנו נח. המיקום, בדרום האי , קרוב לאונסנים הטבעיים . לא בקרבה מקסימלית לעיירות הראשיות באי . חייבים מכונית כדי להגיע , וכדי להסתובב

Certainly a nice space, simple and carefully curated interior

The price did not seem fair. I was charged almost 140€ for one night (1 person). Given this price, I would have expected oceanfront and high-end beds. Instead, bed and pillow were quite hard (I used my own travel pillow), was not able to close off all light in the room. The architecture seemed odd: the bed seemed like an afterthought since it was placed in the corner (had I been a couple one person would have been challenge to get out of the bed at night due to the wall) and it was next to the entry space, ie dirty shoes, etc. the lounge chairs are positioned so the view is to your side (you have to rotate your head uncomfortably) and you look directly onto the bathroom. The “porch” is small and wall to wall with the neighbour. The roof is short, so it will be wet when it rains (it rains a lot in Yakushima) I found a beautiful cottage with a comfortable bed and large patio all to myself just around the corner and paid half the price. Much, much fairer deal.
