    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.

    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!!

    The shuttle service made it very easy to participate. The scenery at Mononoke Forest was simply breathtaking. The course was designed for beginners and easy to walk, and the guide’s explanations were precise and easy to understand. If I ever have the chance to visit Yakushima again, I’d definitely like to use this service.

    Since we were visiting Yakushima, choosing the private tour package was absolutely the right decision. Our female guide adjusted the route to match our walking pace and preferences, making for a very comfortable experience. The tranquility and beauty of the moss-covered forest are beyond words. It felt very private, and we were able to fully enjoy a special time all to ourselves.

    I don’t usually get much exercise, so I was worried I wouldn’t be able to make it all the way, but it turned out to be fine even for beginners. The included transportation made getting around so much easier—it was a huge help! The light filtering through the trees was absolutely beautiful, and I was able to relax and enjoy the scenery. The guide was so kind, and I’m really glad I joined!
