    Shiratani Unsui Gorge (Shiratani Unsui Gorge)

    Limited to one group per day☆ Walk with a female guide
    Shiratani Unsuikyo Half-Day Private Tour

    For those who’d rather take it slow and soak in the atmosphere of the forest than walk a lot.

    "I'd like to visit Shiratani Unsuikyo. But I wonder if I can keep up with the hike..."

    "Since I've come all the way to Yakushima, I want to take my time enjoying the forest."

    We offer guided tours so that even those visitors can enjoy the forests of Yakushima.

    As you stroll past the Second-Generation Osugi, the Kine-sugi, and the Yayoi-sugi, observe the moss and other plants and listen closely to the birdsong.

    If something catches my eye, I stop to take a picture or, sometimes, take a break in the woods.

    From the moment I first met the guide, I felt immediately at ease—he was very friendly. As we entered the forest, the air turned crisp, and I was awestruck by the towering cedar trees that appeared one after another… Since it was a private tour, we could stop whenever we got tired to take in the scenery, allowing us to fully enjoy nature to our hearts’ content. The included transportation was also a huge help, and I had a truly fulfilling experience.

    The female guide was super easy to talk to, and we had a blast the whole way lol. The Yayoi cedar trees were so huge—they were seriously impressive! Since it was a half-day tour, we could breeze through it, and because we had the tour all to ourselves, we could take as many photos as we wanted at our own pace—it was seriously the best! I highly recommend it for beginners, too!

    Having a female guide really put me at ease! She took it slow and matched our pace, so we were able to enjoy the forest without feeling rushed. We saw so many magnificent cedar trees—I was completely satisfied! ♪ There were a few spots where the ground was a bit slippery, so I recommend wearing sturdy shoes! Since we had the tour all to ourselves, we were able to really relax. ☆
