Yakushima's natural beauty and the hotel's luxury services are a perfect combination. The butler service truly makes a difference; hikes in the UNESCO forests were unforgettable. French cuisine at Okas was excellent; the spa treatments were top-notch.

We had a wonderful nature getaway as a family. The trek to see Jomon Sugi was impressive. The staff were very helpful, especially knowledgeable about nature tours. Observing sea turtles was an unforgettable experience for the kids.
