Incredible all around

Our stay was amazing from the moment we arrived to the moment we left. A spectacular week of beautiful views of ocean and mountains, along with a pool and firepit set amongst it all. Service was incredible from small to larger requests. Food was absolutely delicious and varied and atmosphere natural and reflective of the island. I hope I never lose the memory of this hotel or the island. It was a true unique vacation.

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!!!!

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.

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。
