Traveling to Tsushima? 2 Recommended Places to Stay with English Support!
Are you planning a trip to Tsushima?
While this hidden gem of an island offers breathtaking nature and rich history, we know that the “language barrier” can sometimes be a concern for international travelers.
To help you have a smooth and worry-free journey, I’ve carefully selected two of my personal favorite, English-friendly accommodations on the island. Both are wonderful places that I highly recommend!
1. TSUSHIMA White House (Northern Tsushima: Hitakatsu)
- Location: Conveniently located just a 10-minute walk from Hitakatsu International Port.
- Website: TSUSHIMA White House
Why it’s special:
If you are arriving in northern Tsushima, this charming guesthouse is the perfect place to start your adventure. The guesthouse features lovely interior decorations made from unique beachcombed items found around Tsushima, giving it a cozy, local feel. It is run by a wonderful family who previously lived in South Korea and speaks fluent English and Korean, so you can expect a warm and smooth communication throughout your stay.
2. Guesthouse & Cafe Yamaboushi (Southern Tsushima: Mitsushima)
- Location: Just a 5-minute drive from Tsushima Airport.
- Website: Guesthouse & Cafe Yamaboushi
Why it’s special:
For those looking for stunning views, vibrant social vibes, and outdoor fun, this southern gem is a must-stay. Run by a friendly couple who has traveled around the world, Yamaboushi is a hub for international travelers. They regularly host global staff through Workaway, creating a welcoming, multicultural atmosphere where solo travelers can easily mingle and make new friends.
The location is unbeatable—right on the waterfront! They even offer a unique “floating lodge” experience. It’s the ultimate spot to relax and feel connected to Tsushima’s pristine nature.
