Hana Mana

We felt so lucky to have discovered this cottage. It is perfectly located on the southeast part of the island, just 20 minutes by car from the airport. Nestled in lush vegetation, it is backed by mountains and offers a direct view of the ocean from the front. The garden is designed in perfect harmony with the surrounding forest in the background. The building itself is intelligently designed: it is elevated on a concrete base with a crawl space to prevent rising damp, and features a lovely terrace on two sides protected by an overhanging roof. The central kitchen makes cooking highly efficient, while the generous size of the main room creates a peaceful atmosphere. The all-wood interior and furniture evoke the cozy charm of a classic English cottage. This place is a dream on a paradise island, and the owners clearly take great care to preserve it.

We had a nice stay at Hana Mana cottage. It's very clean with a big kitchen. Unfortunately we didn't prepare to cook and we didn't manage to rent a car. We didnt buy any foods for dinner and the owner kindly provided ramen, fruits and fresh eggs : ) to us The mattress is very cozy and we had a sound sleep. The garden is nicely managed and we very much like to stay in the same place if we revisit Yokushima!

We absolutely loved our stay at Hana Mana Cottage. We stayed for two night and wished we had longer. The property was amazing - the cottage is situated in an incredibly well kept garden in beautiful Yakushima. It is a short(ish) walk to the Senpiro Falls. The cottage itself was lovely - it had plenty of space to relax was clean and comfortable. It was the ideal place to come back to after our hike around Yakushima. Our hosts were very kind and helpful - and we even got to meet a couple of friendly cats on the property! I would definitely recommend this property and hope we can one day come back.

Amazing cottage set in a beautiful location with views of the surrounding mountains and forests that reminded us of Hawaii. The property features an outdoor onsen, a well equipped kitchen and is comfortably furnished throughout. Hana Mana is the perfect getaway for a couple or family visiting Yakushima.
