Coconut Yakushima

Coconut Yakushima sits in a quiet residential stretch of Hirauchi, on the southern side of Yakushima island. The property is newly built and split into two separate structures, A and B, each with its own layout, so couples can book one unit while a larger group or family takes both for a shared stay.

From the second floor of the house, the ocean is visible over the rooftops, giving the place a lived-in, local feel rather than a typical holiday-rental one. A handful of cafes are scattered nearby, making the neighborhood walkable if you want a coffee or a short stroll rather than a drive. The setting leans toward trail access and mountain views as well, tying into the wider Hirauchi area's mix of coastline and forested slopes.

Because the two buildings can be rented separately or together, Coconut Yakushima works for a range of stays: a short sightseeing trip, a longer remote-work stretch, or an extended visit for those testing out what it might be like to actually live on the island. The secluded, low-key street setting suits travelers who want a base away from the busier tourist clusters but still close to daily conveniences.

Booking runs through Yakushima Holiday Homes, which manages this property alongside several others across the island, including homes near hot springs, sea-turtle nesting beaches, and other coastal spots. Contacting them directly is the way to check current availability, rates, and whether both buildings are free for the dates you want.
