At first, we rode the gentle current of the Awa River, leisurely paddling our kayaks across the calm water. Next, we switched to stand-up paddleboards (SUPs) and thoroughly enjoyed taking the time to slowly admire the crystal-clear river and the surrounding natural scenery from a slightly higher vantage point. Since it was a small-group tour, we were able to move at our own pace without feeling rushed and truly experience a sense of oneness with Yakushima’s nature. It was a truly wonderful experience that allowed us to forget the hustle and bustle of daily life and achieve deep relaxation for both mind and body. I look forward to joining you again the next time I visit Yakushima.

The last time I visited Yakushima, I only went hiking, but this time I took the plunge and joined a kayaking and SUP tour on the Awa River. As always, I was overwhelmed by the beauty of the local nature, but seeing the forest from the water offered a whole new and moving experience. Since it was a small group, the guide was able to give everyone personal attention, so I was able to enjoy my first time trying SUP with complete peace of mind. No matter how many times I visit, there are always new discoveries to be made, and I had a wonderful time.

I got to try both kayaking and SUP—it was so much fun! Since it was just a half-day trip, it was easy to fit other plans in afterward, so the timing was perfect. But the sun was really strong, so sunscreen is a must!

I was able to try two activities in a short amount of time, which was very efficient. The instructions were clear, so I was able to start playing right away, and the facilities were well-maintained. I’d like to visit again if I get the chance.

Getting to do both SUP and kayaking is such a great deal, lol. I’m so grateful to the guide for taking such beautiful photos! Since it was a small group, we didn’t have to wait around unnecessarily, and everything went so smoothly—it was awesome! The rivers on Yakushima are so beautiful it’s crazy!
