Årc yakushima

This is not a hotel, it's a Commons.

This is a place where tourists can stay, like an inn. However, what we are trying to do is not to run an accommodation business, but to create a commons.
The word 'commons' means 'shared property.' We want this place to be open to everyone, not owned or monopolized by a specific person, and to be a place that everyone can think of as 'their own space,' but that is shared with others. We are trying to develop this space with the intention of 'eliminating boundaries.'



Not out of the ordinary, we want you to live your daily life.

We don't want people to experience Yakushima as something out of the ordinary and then go home, but rather we want them to share our everyday lives and experience it as a different 'everyday' experience to their life in the city.
This is because we want people who visit the island to be able to bring their natural selves back to their everyday lives in the city.

​We don't want to treat you like a 'customer,' but rather like you as a person.
Although we cannot provide hospitable services, we hope to create a space where dialogue and connections can take place.
