First, we went river kayaking on the Awa River, leisurely gliding across the calm waters while taking in the rich natural beauty of Yakushima. Next, we enjoyed a delicious lunch, and in the afternoon, we tried our hand at a trial dive at the beach. Finally, we had a wonderful time swimming among the colorful fish in the ocean, allowing us to fully experience both the mountains and the sea in a single day. We also received some fantastic photos taken with a 360-degree camera, making it a truly fulfilling tour.

We used this service for a trip with my husband, and it turned into the best memory ever. Walking through the moss-covered forest of Shiratani Unsuikyo together and then leisurely kayaking down the Awa River in the afternoon was pure bliss♪ The boxed lunch was delicious, too, and my husband was all smiles the whole time. We were able to fully enjoy the great outdoors of Yakushima, making it a truly satisfying date.

The kayaking experience on the Awa River offers great value for the price. You can really feel close to nature, and the complimentary 360-degree photos are a fun bonus. That said, if I had to point out one thing, paddling does require a bit of physical effort, so people who don’t exercise regularly might find it a little tiring. I was satisfied with the overall organization and the guide’s instructions.
