What is the difference between forest bathing and mountain climbing?In mountain climbing, the goal is to reach the summit with a destination in mind.Forest bathing has no destination and the walk is short.

Unleashing your innate senses and feeling the forest for what it is will contribute to your physical and mental health.

530代Submitted Month: 2025/05We were three generations with our 5 and 7 year old sons and 67 year old grandmother. We walked at a leisurely pace and made it all the way to Taiko Iwa. On the way, we learned about the origin of the island and its flora, and the children listened to the stories with great interest. We were blessed with good weather and saw deer and monkeys, so we were very satisfied with the tour. Thank you very much.

530代Month of posting: 2025/01The guide was very good. As it was my first time to visit Yakushima and I was alone, I applied for this tour hoping to have a calm and relaxing time. The weather was unfortunate on the day of the tour, but the guide asked me in detail about where I wanted to go, and I was able to go around all the recommended spots in Yakushima. I also wanted to go to Shiratani-unsui Gorge. I was very happy that the tour was able to meet my wish to visit Shiratani-unsuikyo. I was very satisfied with the many wonderful photos we took! Even though I was only one woman, I was able to spend my time without any worries or anxieties, and I am glad I asked for your help. Thank you very much.

550代Month of posting: 2024/12Recommendation! My family of four took my 82 year old parents who wanted to visit Yakushima once before they die. They took us on a short tour of Shiratani-unsui Gorge. It was great that we were able to visit the mountain god first. My mother has a bad leg condition, so she had a hard time going through the Shiratani-Unsui Gorge, but since it was a private tour, we were able to proceed slowly and not be rushed, which was very helpful. The guide was very kind to us, lending us his stock and supporting us. The guide was a very nice person and knew a lot about the forests, mountains, plants, Yakushima culture and lifestyle, etc. It was very interesting to hear his many stories. Since my elderly parents get tired easily, we consulted with her in advance and she arranged to pick them up from their hotel earlier than the tour's end time. On the way back to the hotel, she stopped at a delicious tea shop and a spot with a beautiful view, and we enjoyed the tour to the very end. It was also nice that we were able to take many pictures of all four of us as a family. My parents were very happy that we were able to come, even if it was a little overwhelming for them. Thank you very much.

550代Month of posting: 2024/07This was my first visit to Shiratani-unsui Gorge, and since I was alone, I wanted to walk slowly with a guide. I requested the course up to Taikoiwa, and it was great that I could visit the Ushidoko Pilgrimage site first. While walking the course, we learned a lot about the history of Yakusugi cedars and their plants, and we were allowed to take our time on the way back from the crowded areas. We were able to enjoy Shiratani-unsui Gorge to the fullest, including miso soup near the summit and snack breaks at spots with spectacular views. I highly recommend Taikoiwa, with its spectacular view. Thank you very much!

560代Month of posting: 2023/10We were able to enjoy Shiratani-unsuikyo and recommended local spots on a private tour, and the guide was good at guiding us in a relaxed manner. The concept of this tour as a forest bathing was to feel nature without following the destination, which was a perfect experience for those of us who are not as physically fit as we were when we were younger. Lunch was also a healthy and tasty meal.
