Overview
Minshuku Yoshimaru-so is a small minshuku (a family-run Japanese guesthouse) at Japan's westernmost edge, right in front of Kubura Port. It has Western-style private rooms, Japanese-style private rooms and shared rooms; families staying together should look at the Japanese-style private rooms, which take a maximum of 3 to 5 guests. Meals are served in the dining room, and the shuttle from the airport and the ferry terminal is free.

Rooms
Besides 8 private rooms in Western-style and Japanese-style tatami layouts, the minshuku has shared rooms suited to students and groups, plus a communal bath. The Japanese-style private rooms, 4 in all on the 2nd floor, take a maximum of 3 to 5 guests. There are also 4 Western-style private rooms on the 2nd floor, but they take a maximum of 2 guests, so families of 3 or more should book a Japanese-style private room. Both the Western-style and Japanese-style private rooms have a toilet, bath towels, face towels, a hair dryer, a TV and air conditioning, and an electric kettle is available to borrow. Toothbrushes, toothpaste, brushes and razors are not provided. The Western-style twin plan on Rakuten Travel is 11.1 sq m for 1 to 2 guests, with child rates available. The shared rooms are on the 1st floor, separated by gender, and take a maximum of 3 to 5 guests, with a shared toilet and shower. The Japanese-style room plan on Rakuten Travel (aimed at groups and students, with separate rooms for men and women) is 13.2 sq m with no bath or toilet, for 1 to 5 guests. There is a shared refrigerator in the 2nd-floor hallway and another in the 1st-floor hallway. Whether co-sleeping is allowed, the bed specifications, and the availability of cribs or baby futons are not listed in our information, so please confirm with the minshuku when booking.
Dining
Breakfast and dinner are both served in the dining room; in-room dining is not available. The food is home-style cooking made with island ingredients such as fish and wild mountain vegetables. No information is published on a kids' menu, children's chairs or allergy accommodation, so please check when booking. There is a vending machine selling canned drinks.
Baths
There is a shower room with a large bathtub. In summer (June to October) the large bathtub is out of service and only the showers are available; the showers can be used all year. Each shower room has rinse-in shampoo and body soap. Whether children in diapers can use the large bathtub, and whether it can be reserved for private use, is not listed in our information, so please check with the minshuku.
