My brother and I stayed at the end of September 2013. We were picked up at the Anbo Ferry within 15 minutes of calling. The landlady took us to a seaside onsen and also showed us some sights on the way. Naturally we gave her some money for petrol (the bus ride back took 40 minutes). She arranged our taxi to the Arakawa Trail entrance for about the same price as hiring a car for the day (the minshuku charges very reasonable rates for car hire) which was sensible as the road up is winding with monkeys and deer in the early morning and the 10 hour round trip to Jomon Sugi is exhausting, and most of the year you have to park and take a shuttle bus. The food was more than adequate and very fresh local produce (they grow a lot of it themselves). On our last day we were taken to the Yakisugi museum which is worth visiting. The museum called our landlady and she took us to Anbo port. The landlady speaks a little English but preferred my intermediate level Japanese. She was very keen to establish that we weren't vegetarians! Nandemo tabemasu (there's nothing we don't eat) I replied. All in all this was a great experience and much of the credit goes to the minshuku

Friendly and Helpful

The Maedakeso is a family run inn with wonderful proprietors. Even though they didn't speak English and my daughter's Japanese was limited, they went out of their way to make us feel welcome, including calling someone who could speak English to talk to us on the phone about the best places to hike on Yakushima Island. If you are looking for an American style hotel--this won't be the place for you--but if you want a homey, authentic stay, then this is it! The food is fantastic--all real Japanese food, like octopus, natto, sushi, pickles, grilled fish and miso. The layout is simple--you walk into the dining room, then there is a long hall with the guest rooms along one side. The rooms have tatami mats; the only furniture is a low table, since you sit on the soft floor. Futons are folded up in a corner, you pull them out yourself at night. There is a row of sinks that everyone shares, then a huge stone bath that has alternating male and female hours in the evening during the weekend. When there are few guests, you can use the individual baths. The proprietor was evidently very funny and entertaining because he was talk to the guests during dinner, making them laugh uproariously. After dinner they would continue talking and singing until about 9:30 pm. Although we couldn't understand what was going on, the atmosphere was great and they included us by pouring us sake and bringing out samples of special fruits and vegetables they grow themselves--like dragonfruit and guava. You can hear the happy sounds from the dining room from your tatami room, but the place was completely quiet from 10 pm to 6:30 am when people start getting up for the day. Yakushima is such an awesome place and the Maedakeso made it even more special. Note--the pillows, like all traditiona-style pillows in Japan are like rocks. Bring a neck pillow to help sleep on the plane, then use it on top of the "rock" to get a good night's sleep! You'll need to rent a car to stay here--I thought driving on the left side of the road would be hard, but you get used to it right away.

We LOVED Maedakeso!

Stayed with my friends. We had to change plans from camping to stay at this minshuku. They warmly welcomed us even though calling that day. Nice room with bunk beds. Perfect for groups. The owner was nice also. 
当日電話予約でも親切に対応してくれました。屋久島自然館に近いので、多くの登山者が停まっていました。部屋も綺麗なため、登山の際にぴったりです。
