Clean, friendly staff and lots of restaurants nearby!
Mitchell
Great overall experience, would recommend for anyone staying in the area. Simple, clean, and comfortable Japanese style room. Accomodating for when I had to extend my stay one night from a cancelled ferry.
Jessica
Great property which is very clean and has good facilities. One thing to note is that check in closes quite early and there is no elevator.
brett
Staff was very friendly and tried to be helpful but the language barrier was problematic until speaking with management. We missed our first night and initial conversations made it appear they no longer held our reservation for the 2nd night. Eventually we were told to check back 4 hours later but spent the day wondering if we had accommodations. In the end, all worked out. It was a great place and we'd all happily stay again in the future.
Timothy
This minshuku was easy to find, close to bus service (airport, Ambo Port \ access to Kitasugi and small/quaint Kusugawa onsen. Amenities includes a nice kitchen with essentials including stove, microwave, utensils, pots and pans. Good location. Can be a bit noisy in early morning and then there is the public address system- ha! Played eidelweiss every morning.
Verified traveler
Good except wi-fi
Everything as advertised (barebones but cheap and convenient) EXCEPT the wi-fi that was barely working (impossible to watch a video or skype)
Verified traveler
The new building is exceptionally clean with new facilities. Only advice is to bring earplugs as walls are thin.

Excellent stay
We stayed at the new building. Excellent shower and toilet facilities. There is a fully equip kitchen.

good location and reasonable room for price
good location. it was possible to walk from port to accommodation. and bus stop was very close to there. supermarket can be reached less than 10mins by walk. Room was comfortable and clean. they serves towel, shampoo and conditioner for free. room was traditional Japanese style, so very poor to noise.
Verified traveler
Other people make this property noisy. I guess ok if you don’t want to sleep before 11 pm and wake at 5am.
Verified traveler
Great value and foreigner friendly
A typical Minshuku: sleeping on futon on a tatami floor, and using shared toilets and bathroom. But the difference is that they have gone to a lot of effort to make it easy for English speakers to understand how everything works, and there is a basic kitchen in the room, which is unusual and welcome. There is a common use Fridge, Microwave oven and kettle. It's a bit old inside, but totally clean. Access is by some very thin stairs which could be difficult if you are carrying a heavy suitcase (but is fine with a rucksack). It's about 10 minutes walk away from Miyanoura port where the ferries and some of the jetfoils arrive. Wifi is a bit slow, but it works good enough as long as you are not hoping to do streaming (I suspect that is more about it's location on an island more that thefault of the hotel itself). Check in is in the fishing shop on the first floor, so you need to do it when the shop is open. The staff there are very friendly, and able to communicate in basic English. Overall, it's great value for the area.
Traveller
The people here are very helpful but the facilities are pretty poor. Bathrooms are old and industrial. The kitchen is shared with the reaidents and has dirty dishes permanently in the sink. Theee is no communal area.
Suvi
Great location, in comfortable beds
Firstly upon arrival we missed the sign outside the shop downstairs that the reception and check in to the hostel was actually in the shop. So we wondered a while upstairs with no luck. Finally we found the keeper who spoke only few words of English, who checked us in and gave us a tour. He was a very nice older man. The room itself was of a good size but the futon was quite thin, a bit too thin for our liking. So our backs were aching a bit after the nights. The shower room was very old and had a dirty dated look, but worked fine. The hostel was very well located tho, a walking distance from the port and around it there was nice restaurants and the bigger super market. Also the bus stop was just outside the hostel.

I recommend Minshuku Iwakawa
We stayed at Shin-kan (new building) , so everything was clean and new. Very close to a bus stop, some good restaurants. The owner was very nice friendl, and helpful.

Bon rapport qualité prix, proche du port ainsi que de restaurant, commerce et magasin de location. Il est aussi possible de réserver des bento. Attention aux horaires de Check in qui peuvent être contraignante si on doit rendre la voiture de location avant mais rien de dramatique.
L’isolation sonore n’est pas incroyable (cloison) entre les chambres donc il faut faire attention à être prévenant en ne faisant pas trop de bruit pour les autres.

야쿠시마 여행 하기에 가성비 좋은 숙소
게스트 하우스라 는 유형의 숙박을 해보지 않은 우리는 걱정스러웠지만 숙소는 너무 깔끔하고 가까이 있는 마트에서 간단한 장을 봐서 저녁도 해결하기에 충분했습니다. 여행 목적인 새벽에 일어나 아라카와 등산로 가는 버스 타기에 좋은 숙소였습니다. 한 달이 지난 지금도 좋은 인상과 추억으로 미뤘던 후기를 씁니다.

1泊でも数泊でもよし
本館に泊まりました。設備は多少古いので気になる方は耳栓を持参した方がいいかもしれませんが私は滞在する上で全く問題はありませんでした。利用しいませんが洗濯機なども洗剤付きで用意されていて全体的に太っ腹な宿という印象です。歩いて5分の所にスーパーもあります。宿の目の前がバス停でそこから行ける楠川温泉が最高です。
