EATING FACILITIES

Miyanoura and the Northern Area

Eating Facilities in the northern area based around Miyanoura

There are very few eating options in the Nagata and north of Yakushima. Guests staying in hotels in this region would usually book the hotel with meals included.

Being the main town on the island then Miyanoura has a good selection of restaurants and cafes. Most of the restaurants are found in the central area of the town, but there are a few gems on the outer region of the town.

Bento shops are located around the main hiking entry points – Miyanoura & Anbo. Bento shops open early and usually close by mid-morning.
