Ground Transportation

Taxis

Taxis are available at a stand directly outside the airport terminal. They are convenient for reaching nearby towns like Miyanoura or Anbo but can be expensive for longer distances or full-day hire. It is a good idea to have your destination address written in Japanese. Reservations may be needed during peak seasons.

Rental Cars

Several car rental companies have counters in the terminal or offices located a short shuttle ride away. Major brands like Toyota, Nissan, and Times are present, along with local providers. Renting a car is the most flexible and recommended way to explore the island's spread-out attractions. Advance booking is essential, especially during holidays. An International Driving Permit (IDP) is required for most foreign drivers.

Public Transportation

The local bus network (Yakushima Kotsu and Matsubanda Kotsu) has a stop at the airport ('Kuko' stop). Buses run along the island's main coastal road, connecting the airport with the major towns and ferry ports. While economical, the service is infrequent (often hourly or less) and requires careful planning around the timetable. It is less practical for reaching trailheads in the island's interior.
