This traditional Japanese inn presents guests with an authentic cultural experience through its classic tatami mat rooms and warm hospitality. One of the notable advantages of staying at Tashiro Annex is its proximity to some of Yakushima’s enchanting natural attractions. Guests can enjoy easy access to Shiratani Unsuikyo, famous for its lush forests resembling those from “Princess Mononoke.” Additionally, the inn serves as a convenient base for visiting Yakusugi Land, where ancient cedar trees stand tall.

The peaceful surroundings and intimate atmosphere make it an ideal location for relaxation after a day exploring the island’s trails. Moreover, Tashiro Annex often garners praise for its delectable local cuisine, offering an array of seasonal dishes that highlight regional flavors.

However, potential visitors should be prepared for certain limitations. Being a traditional inn means some modern conveniences might be limited compared to larger hotels. Language barriers are occasionally noted by non-Japanese speaking tourists. Despite these minor drawbacks, Tashiro Annex remains a charming option for those looking to connect with both nature and culture during their stay on Yakushima.
