I just stayed here for four nights during a hiking trip to wonderful Yakushima. While booking, I chose the "new building" option and it turned out to be great with immaculately clean facilities. Showers and kitchen are all new and very modern looking. The room was also a decent size. I also liked the location of the new building located few minutes walk away from the restaurant area. Highly recommended. It is a great gem for the price.

Very Modern and Clean

I got own room for 10days. It was really nice value.
But futon bed makes little bit back pain. Other than that location is good and convenient for move around all island.
A-Corp is 10 minutes away. Bus stop for 
Gyomonsigi,shiratani unsuikyo
is 5 mins away.

It was nice and convince place.

The minshuku is located in the center of Miyanoura, about a 10 minute walk from the port. Alrernatively, you could also take the bus from the port, because there's a stop right in front of Iwakawa.

The owners, father and son, I assume, are very nice and helpful. The place itself is very clean and simple. Definitely worth the price. 

Noise from the hall can be heard so take that into account of you're a light sleeper. 

Would recommend and would also stay again.

Great value for money. Nice place

Iwakawa seemed to have two different buildings. The first is as pictured on Trip Advisor, the second was more of a large house structure a quick walk away. The location was in an excellent area one block off the main road. 

I stayed in the large house building with a group of friends. We arrived a little before 10 PM on our first night and the staff was very accommodating, helping us find our way and a spot to park our vehicle. The rooms were very clean and a good size. Air conditioning worked well and I liked the fact each room had its own to control. The bathrooms were also clean with all the needed soaps and shampoos. Futon's seemed a bit thin, but I could live with it for a few nights. 

Considering the cost of other lodging in the area, Iwakawa was a great value, excellent location, and friendly staff. Would highly recommend to others traveling around Yakushima. 

Great Value, Clean, Friendly Hosts

The owners of the property is very helpful.  They helps us to contact the tour agents for arranging tours for our group and provides with useful information.  They also extend help for delivering our luggage to another stay.

The place is compact and clean.  It is easily accessible and surrounded with eating places.

Friendly Environment

the "hall" of this hostel (don't call it a hotel) is some kind of hardware store... but father and son managers seemed nice.
Room is traditional japanese, it is small but quite OK and with air conditioning... Light and noise from the street might disturb your sleep. The bus stop right in front of the hostel is a pro.
Also there is a fridge available to store some food or beverages.

spartan

close the entire "hotel" at 6pm, don't allow check-in after 6pm.. 
this is unheard of for an hotel. either you allow check-in until 8pm at least or don't call yourself an hotel.
we were almost left without a place that night.
they didn't agree to refund either..
(notified us via email one same day of check-in, didn't call even).
