Umi no Cottage Tida is a lovely and amazing hotel run by the nicest, kindest and most helpful and wonderful couple, Yuko and Nerome. The cottage is so comfortable and well equipped, also for a family and a group of friends but also very romantic for a couple like us. Beautiful location with stunning views over the ocean. Great beds, great shower and hot bath. But the diamond in the crown is the food. We stayed 3 nights, had breakfast every morning and had dinner twice. Nerome is not a regular cook. He is an extremely talented chef and his food (Japanes with western touches) is high end, creative and out of this world, absolutely delicious. His food can compete with any restaurant in Tokyo, Paris and Manhattan. He really deserves a Chef's Table episode. Yakushima is a beautiful and mystical place - Shirtani unsuikyo and Yakusugi Land are a must trails (the higher you go, the more beautiful and magical the experience is. But it must be said that you need a certain fitness to climb all the way up). It is advisable to rent a car as there are very few taxis on the island and the buses are slow and don't run often.
