We used this service for a trip with my girlfriend, and it turned into the best memory ever. Trekking through the Enchanted Forest together and taking in the mystical scenery was pure bliss♪ The afternoon tour around the island was also a lot of fun, and my girlfriend was all smiles the whole time. Even if you’re not confident in your stamina, you can enjoy it without worry—it was a date that left us both completely satisfied.

Our child enjoyed the entire trip. The mysterious scenery of the Mononoke Forest kept our child’s eyes sparkling the whole time. I was a little worried about how our child would hold up physically, but thanks to the guide, who kindly adjusted the pace to our child’s needs and provided support, I was able to watch over them with peace of mind as a parent. The afternoon sightseeing tour around the island was also easy since we traveled by car, so our whole family was able to fully enjoy the charms of Yakushima without any strain. It turned out to be a wonderful memory.

My husband and I travel several times a year. This was our first time to Yakushima and we are glad we joined this tour. After trekking in the morning, we had a leisurely lunch, and in the afternoon we went sightseeing on the island in the guide's car. It was just right for those of us who are not confident about our physical strength.
