    Seven of us, ranging in age from 8 to 73, participated in the tour. Our guide, Mr. Takami, had an entertaining way of speaking and taught us a great deal about Shiraya Unsuikyo. Along the way, we encountered some difficulties—one of our 73-year-old participants got a blister and another slipped in the river—but thanks to the guide’s kind support, we managed to reach Taiko-iwa. We were blessed with good weather, and it was a wonderful experience with breathtaking views. It was a memorable experience for everyone. Thank you very much.

    Even before I left, you gave me recommendations for places to visit beyond the tour, which really helped me get ready. Since a trip to Yakushima seemed a bit daunting, your advice was a huge help. You were incredibly knowledgeable and gave me advice not only on the tour itself but also on Yakushima in general—and thanks to you, I was even able to see baby turtles at Nagata Beach the very next day! Thank you so much for everything.

    It was my first time on Yakushima, so I didn’t know my way around at all—and it was also my first time trekking. I’d asked my 70-year-old mother to come along, so I was a little nervous, but we met a truly wonderful guide, and I was moved all day long. Best of all, my 9-year-old son seemed to be having a great time the whole time, chatting away—it had been a long time since I’d seen him like that, and it made me so happy. Since my 70-year-old mother was with us, we toured Shiratani Unsuikyo and the Western Forest Road to see Okawa Falls—it was a truly satisfying day. I was deeply moved to see my son re-energized by being in nature, and my mother also came home having learned so much. I’m so grateful for the chance to meet such a wonderful guide. Thank you so much for the recommendation. To be honest, before going to Yakushima, I thought, “At 41, this is my first and last trip to Yakushima!” But by the time we were on the flight home, my son and I were already asking each other, “When should we go to Yakushima next?”—we were completely captivated by the island’s charm. Yakushima, the mystical island. I hope it continues to be such a wonderful place. I’ll definitely be back! Next time, I want to try hiking to the Jomon Sugi…!!!

    We participated as a family of four, with our youngest child in middle school. Thanks to the encouraging words that helped us stay focused, we were able to make it to the top without any trouble. The guide also gave us easy-to-understand explanations about how the surrounding natural landscape was formed, giving us an experience we couldn’t have gotten just by looking at it—the kids were absolutely thrilled. Thank you very much.

    From the mystical Shiratani Unsuikyo Gorge to Taiko Rock, this was a wonderful tour that allowed us to fully experience the great outdoors of Yakushima. Walking while listening to our guide’s detailed explanations allowed us to go beyond simply admiring the scenery and gain a deep understanding of the forest’s history. The panoramic view of the forest from Taiko Rock is truly breathtaking. I think this is a fantastic tour that you can enjoy with complete peace of mind.

    This was my first time on Yakushima and my first time hiking, and I’m so grateful for the guide’s thorough explanations and thoughtful care. I felt completely at ease leaving everything in their hands. We were blessed with great weather, and it was an absolutely wonderful experience. I’d love to have this guide again the next time I visit Yakushima!
