What other travelers are saying about Yakushima Environmental Culture Village Center
It was a great place to start/end my Yakushima trip. Most of the things you would need would be here (bus pass, trailhead bus pass, information about bento, etc.) and the staff are very nice and can speak English. I think the small exhibit + video is worth the small fee, it is very educational; it is all in Japanese though, so make sure you have your translation app ready. They also have a very nice hiking map you can buy as a souvenir!
The building design attracts us to stop a while for taking photos. Inside is a tourist centre with a small souvenir shop, I found a nice handmade bookmark set made by a thin old cedar piece with a lovely little floral piece on top. It is only available in this shop.
If you here in Yakushima than must visit this place.
Really great and very informative information you must to know all about Yakushima the Of water … Japan
Very attentive staff that helped us navigate the information we needed and wanted.
Information was very well organized and clear, and the atmosphere was very relaxed.
Since we didn't have a Japanese number, they even called the camping site for us.
Very helpful!
