The facilities and arrangements went smoothly. Since the Yaksugi Land walking tour offers different difficulty levels, I was able to enjoy it at my own pace. The transportation service was also fine. However, it would have been even better if the portion sizes of the boxed lunches had been a little larger.

We went on this trip together♪ I was a little nervous about walking through the World Heritage-listed forest, but the wild animals were so cute that I couldn’t help but smile☆ The negative ions at Okawa Falls were abundant, and we made some amazing memories together! The bento was delicious, too, and we’re already talking about how we’d love to see Yakushima in a different season!

The arrangements went smoothly, so we were able to enjoy the tour without any stress. Since we could choose the difficulty level, we were able to fully enjoy the Yakusugi cedars at our own pace. We’ll definitely use this service again.

I think this is a plan that strikes a good balance between jungle trekking and wildlife observation, and offers great value for the money. I was able to encounter macaques and sika deer while walking through the World Heritage forest, and I also enjoyed the dynamic scenery of Okawa Falls. However, there were a few spots on the mountain trail where the footing was a bit uneven, so it would have been perfect if there had been a stronger reminder in advance about what kind of shoes to wear.

The natural scenery was so picturesque no matter where I pointed my camera☆ Every time a Yakuzaru or a Yakushika popped up, I couldn’t help but snap away♪ The Okawa Falls were incredibly impressive, and there were so many Instagram-worthy spots! I highly recommend this place if you want to take some great photos!

I participated with my child. I was a little worried about whether we’d be able to hike through a real jungle, but thanks to the guide’s stories that really captured my child’s interest, my child walked energetically all the way to the end. I’ll never forget the sparkle in my child’s eyes when we spotted a sika deer. It’s become a wonderful family treasure!

Even though I was traveling alone, I felt completely at ease—the guide was very friendly and chatted with me easily, so I had a great time. The jungle trek along the Western Forest Road felt like an adventure and kept me excited the whole time! Seeing macaques and sika deer up close really got me pumped. The tour included transportation and a boxed lunch, so I was completely satisfied!

At first, I was taken aback by the dense jungle, but I felt at ease because our guide kept a comfortable walking pace. As we made our way along the Western Forest Road, we gradually began to spot macaques and sika deer, and being able to observe the animals up close was a truly precious experience. The bento lunch we enjoyed in the great outdoors was absolutely delicious… I was also overwhelmed by the sheer scale of Okawa Falls, which we visited later in the trip, and the entire experience was a continuous series of surprises and moments of wonder.

Last time I went trekking somewhere else, but this time I wanted to walk through a quiet forest, so I chose this tour. The female guide was very kind, and I was able to enjoy a leisurely time surrounded by the scent of the forest at Yakusugi Land. However, there were a few moments when I felt a bit chilly, so it would have been even more comfortable if they had recommended something to wear over my clothes.
