The Tashiro family began their hotel business on Yakushima in 1904, although the current Tashiro Bekkan was built in 1986.  The Tashiro Bekkan is ideally situated on the banks of the Miyanoura River.  There are great views of the river and the mountains behind.  If a hike around Shiratani Unsuikyo is on your agenda then this is an ideal place to stay. 

Rooms are traditional tatami style with an attached bathroom and toilet.  Hotel facilities include a large Japanese communal bath, a sauna and a shop on-site.

Meals at the Tashiro Bekkan are focused around the local cuisine and delicacies.  Early morning breakfast and lunch bentos can be prepared for those guests with an early start.

There is a bus stop outside the hotel.

Payment is by cash or credit card.
