Sankara was a perfect oasis of peace and tranquility on Yakushima Island. The service was impeccable. Everyone knew who we were and the villa we were staying at. So polite, gracious and helpful. The facilities were top notch and the spa was wonderful. We sampled the massages and facial treatments. Amazing experience. Dinner options were perfect. We were very impressed. My only complaint was the breakfast got a little repetitive and boring. We will definitely return.

Highly recommend! You won’t be disappointed!
Incredible place! The hotel staff were amazing, very friendly and on point. They didn’t miss a beat. They helped us arrange a rental car through their property, dinners, and hiking tours. They have a spa on site which is great. We were lucky enough to get sunshine both day we were there but had we been “rained in” it’s a perfect place to lounge and relax. We had the smaller room and this room was NOT small at all! Highly recommend!!!!

Excellent hotel
Excellent hotel, we felt taken care of from the airport pickup throughout our 2-night stay. They recommended a tour guide to go hiking in the forest, which was super helpful. The pool and the food was amazing (both the a la carte and prix fixe menus).

Fantastic service on a unique island
Sankara is a great choice for yakushima, and my recommendation for anyone traveling there. The service is top flight. Our butler/concierge Sam was helpful, joyful, and outright hospitable with just the rain got amount of fussing-he intuited our needs perfectly. Food is fantastic-seafood fresh and prepared with nuance. The young (very young!) pastry chef is not only a genius, but sweet-she has an amazing career ahead of her. Bacon (breakfast) is of note. All this because half pension is included. Room is large and comfortable which is not of little mportance with all the rain n that yakushima gets. Bravo!

This hotel is beyond beautiful!
An extraordinarily blissful stay in this gorgeous secluded boutique resort. Wonderful attention to detail both in the rooms and the delicious, creative food. My daughter is vegetarian and eating in Japan has been a challenge, but the chef came up with delicious food for her at every meal! Staff were all delightful and genuinely cared that we had everything we could possibly need. I especially want to mention Ryoko, who raises the level of the hotel even higher.

Exceeded expectations
Exceptional in every way. The food and service were very good indeed and the staff did everything possible to make your stay memorable - it felt as though it was very important to them that you were happy.

What, no unicorns on rainbows?
To compare this hotel with any other would be a disservice to its greatness. My wife and I arrived by ferry and were greeted by our butler (who quickly became our friend), Yui, with a friendly presence that we felt thru our entire stay. It took all of 30 seconds on the Sankara grounds to decide our stay needed to be extended by an extra day. We had the two best meals of our lives in the French restaurant. I say again, 2 BEST MEALS OF OUR LIVES. I could go on and on about every detail and moment when we were surprised by their welcoming spirit but this is already getting long. I will only say that if any of the Sankara staff were to visit our town, we would welcome them into our home and only hope to make them feel as honored a guest as they did us.

美しい海と山に囲まれた最高の景色と、笑顔の素敵なスタッフの皆様の気遣い、美味しい料理、南国ムードたっぷりのお部屋と最高の時間を過ごさせていただきました。 ディナーは一階のアヤナでプリフィックスのコースをいただきましたが、どれも工夫されていて目でも舌でも楽しめました。デザートはビュッフェでどれも選べず！10種類くらい＋お茶菓子もたくさん。少しずつ全部いただきました。どれも美味しいし、見た目も綺麗で選ぶのもとても楽しいと思います。 お部屋は広く、たくさんの種類のお茶や珈琲も備えてありその時の気分で好きなものを楽しめます。ライブラリーでお借りした山本二三さんの絵画集を見ながらまったりくつろぎ最高でした！ スタッフの皆さんも島のこと、食べ物のこと、ホテルのこと、話題が豊富でお話しするのも楽しいと思います。お土産も持たせてくださったんですが、開けてびっくりする素敵なギフトご入っていました。 ぜひまた滞在したいです。できれば次はもうちょっと長めに！ 幸せな時間をありがとうございました。

okasでの夕食は、どの料理も素晴らしく、この料理を食べにまた泊まりに来たいと思えるものでした。 また、宿泊前から、屋久島滞在全体について、心配りして頂けるスタッフのサービスも最高でした。 １点だけ残念だったのは、デイベッドの表面に数か所黒いしみがあったことです。
