I had a new private little cabin with a sea and mountain view. It even had a great little porch where I smoked my cigar and savored the views.

For me though, it was the owners Kentaro and Satoko that make this place special. They are genuinely kind and love what they do. Kentaro even honored me by joining my
 grueling hike up Mt. Motchomudake.

I must also give a shout out to one of the staff, Kako. She was possibly the friendliest person I met in Japan! She also added to the warmth of Shikinoyado.

Is there a way to teleport back to this place?

Shikinoyado was such a great find and highlight to our trip to Yakushima Island. Kentaro-san was an awesome host and cook. The food was excellently prepared and we looked forward to both breakfast and dinner there every night. There is a public onsen about 3 minutes drive from here, warning as the water is VERY hot. 
Even though it rained 2 out of 3 days on our trip, we were still able to find enough things to do to occupy our time. Definitely would recommend Shikinoyado to anyone who decides to visit Yakushima.

Get the tankan orange juice. It's the best OJ I've ever had.

Really clean room and great views of the ocean and mountain. Be prepared to see bugs around since it's a rural place.

Really great stay

We had the most magical stay at Shikinoyado. Kentaro's hospitality extended from the moment we booked, helping us with organising camping gear and restaurant reservations. But our stay itself was incredible. The hotel is situated right behind Mount Motchomudake and there are stunning views on both sides. On our first night, we were treated to traditional barbecue with fresh fish, meat and vegetables from Yakushima. We ate delicious breakfast each morning from the terrace above the dining room. And on the night that dinner wasn't served at the hotel, Kentaro helped us make a reservation at a nearby restaurant and lent us bikes to make the trip (with a short stop-off at the local onsen, an absolute must visit). I can't recommend this place more: it's unlike anywhere I've ever stayed!

Magical stay with exceptionally kind hospitality and wonderful local food

A memorable stay at Shikinoyado Onoaida, thanks Satoko & Kentaro.

1. Satoko & Kentaro are friendly host, providing insider tips for onsen & bento, also advise our hiking routes, and caring our Mocchomu hike (btw, this hike is a vertical challenge).
2. Meals are delighted & yummy; 
3. The onoaid is comfortable while with a touch of nature;

We recommend Shikinoyado Onoaida.

Had a great stay here.  Dinner and breakfast was excellent.  The traditional japanese tatami room was nice to experience.  Kentaro went out of his way to make us feel at home.  We missed a bus that only comes around every 2 hrs and Kentaro appeared out of nowhere in his Van, was like "Hurry get on!" and we chased down that bus.  Good times!  Thanks Ken!

This place is run by a lovely couple who go above and beyond for their guests. You can choose between having a room with outdoor bath in the main house or a separate condo. Breakfast and dinner are included with freshly prepared meals, lunch boxes can also be requested. Highly recommend staying here for the service, delicious food and stunning views! 

Homely experience 

We split our time between a very high end lodging with infinity pool and this charming small inn.  Both were wonderful but for an authentic Japanese experience, highly recommend staying in the Western room with the private outside bath tub with a view.  Nothing more relaxing than hiking all day, going back to a cold beer on their terrace with a lovely view, then a hot bath in one's own outside private tub.  And then, starting the day with a delicious Japanese breakfast.  

Private outside bath tub, daily Japanese breakfasts, wonderful Japanese barbecue dinner

We are a couple in semi-retirement and stayed on Yakushima for 3 nights in March. We had booked Shikinoyado (Four Seasons) ahead of time.  Hired a car from the port and took an hour to drive down to the site.  Kentaro met us.  Very friendly and helpful and with good english.  Had a wedding party in the main house so gave us the separate cottage across the road for no extra cost.  Great accommodation.  Had dinner the first night with them.  His wife Satoko gave us a feast helped down with delicious cold Japanese beer.  Other two nights we ate at a sushi restaurant all of 200m away.  We could have had breakfast with Kentaro but instead bought western breakfast at the wellstocked supermarket a mile away.  Highly recommended

Excellent accomodation

Spent the week on the island with my family. Our experience would not have been the same if it werent the genuine hospitality shown by the Mizuguchi family. 

We definitely recommend any keen travellers to come over to the island spend the evening at this minzu over a pint and sukiyaki. 

Arigato, Ken-San

Ideal escapade

We stayed here for 3 nights at the start of October. Kentaro and his family are extremely friendly, very helpful and always smiling. We couldn't stay for the full duration due to the typhoon disrupting the flight and the start of our stay in Yakushima but Kentaro was very helpful and quick to respond via email and also didn't charge us for changing our plans due to the typhoon. We originally booked the Japanese room in the main building but Kentaro recommended we stay in the Western style separate building for a bit more privacy which was perfect! The building had everything we needed and was very comfortable and clean. A highlight for us during our stay here was the food, which was very traditional Japanese cuisine and very tasty. Thank you so much for a wonderful stay and we hope to return in the future.
