460代Month of posting: 2023/10My 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.
