    With a typhoon approaching, we began our climb up Mt. Miyanoura, keeping safety as our top priority and keeping the option to turn back in mind. Although we faced strong winds, there were views we could only experience because of these weather conditions, making it a very satisfying hike. The guide stayed by our side even during the toughest moments, and the warm miso soup we were served at the summit truly warmed our hearts. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and had an answer for every question we asked. He was truly a master of Yakushima and felt very reassuring. Thanks to him, it turned into an unforgettable hike. Thank you so much!

    Thanks to the guide accommodating our tight schedule, we were able to fully enjoy our trek at Yakusugi Land. I had purchased trekking poles in advance, but while packing, I accidentally left them at home—so it was a huge help that the guide lent me a pair. The trail included both well-maintained sections and natural terrain, making for a truly exciting hike. The stories about the Yakusugi cedars, the Kigen Cedar, and the forest were very informative, and the guide took photos for us at various spots, so it was wonderful to have photos of just the two of us as a couple, as well as beautiful shots of the forest. If we’d had more time, I would have liked to go even further. It was a wonderful trail that allowed us to experience the natural cycles of Yakushima firsthand. The follow-up communication after booking was very thorough, and they were flexible in accommodating our needs. If I have the chance again, I’d definitely like to book another tour through this site.

    Sukeroku / 50s Posted on: October 2026

    We’re a couple—my husband is in his 60s, and I’m in my 50s. I was worried about my husband’s stamina, so I booked a private tour. Although he had been working out at the gym, right after we started hiking, his steps seemed unsteady. So, after consulting with the guide, my husband went as far as the Wilson Tree and then turned back, taking his time descending while strolling along the river and other areas. Meanwhile, I, the wife, mentioned that I wanted to go as far as the Jomon Sugi, so I was immediately allowed to join a group tour organized by the same company on the spot, and I made it safely to the Jomon Sugi. Everyone in the group was so nice, and it turned into a wonderful memory. I am truly grateful for their flexible and adaptable response to our situation. The guide was also very knowledgeable and experienced, and it was a real pleasure to talk with him. Thank you so much!!

    I’d always dreamed of seeing the Jomon Sugi, and the sense of accomplishment when I finally reached it on my own two feet was incredible. Thanks to our professional guide, I was able to hike with peace of mind. The snack breaks along the way were a nice change of pace and really helped me conserve my energy. While the trail had some rugged sections, it was more than worth it.
