530代Month of posting: 2023/12Because it was off-season, I was the only one who participated in the tour, but I was treated very well. To be honest, I was a bit worried about being alone, but I was very glad to be able to experience the warm personality of the guide and to talk with him about many things! Thank you very much!

540代Month of posting: 2023/11The trees and moss of Shiratani-unsui Gorge and the natural scenery of Yakushima seen from the river were beautiful and soothing in every way. The guide was very attentive to our safety, took our pictures, and explained the terrain and trees to us with a great spirit of service! I enjoyed the tour as a child!

540代Month of posting: 2023/10My husband and I both have hiking ability, but we were able to participate in the trekking without any problems! The guide explained everything to us so that we could enjoy the trek. The moss forest was mysterious and magical. I was worried about the stability of the SUP board in the afternoon, but once I got used to it, I could enjoy it leisurely. It seems that not many people fall into the river. Even if you fall into the river, you will be fine because the guide will be with you. The SUP was very memorable because we could get photos & videos with the camera brought by the guide sent to us via LINE or e-mail address for free. Thank you very much!

550代Month of posting: 2023/09It was a wonderful tour that allowed us to enjoy the nature of Yakushima in a luxurious way! Thank you very much. During the trekking in the morning, I was so impressed by the beauty of the virgin forest that I felt as if I had stepped into a Ghibli movie. The guide's explanations were detailed and I could feel his love for nature. The afternoon river SUP was a pleasant experience with the gentle flow of the Awa River, and even a SUP beginner could feel comfortable and enjoy it at his own pace with the support of the guide. After all the physical exertion, lunch was another treat. It was a luxurious day combining both trekking to the Mononoke Forest and SUP at the Awa River, which refreshed me both physically and mentally. Thanks to the beautiful nature of Yakushima.
