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.

Booking this tour was definitely the right choice. I was very impressed with the pre-tour preparations, such as the checklist of items to bring. On the day of the tour, the pace was perfectly managed, and we were able to hear detailed explanations not only about the Yakusugi cedars but also about Yakushima’s history, flora, and fauna. The guide answered all our questions thoughtfully, making it a truly satisfying day. Thanks to our guide, I’ve fallen in love with Yakushima and definitely plan to visit again. Thank you so much!

Even though I was traveling alone, I was able to enjoy myself without any reservations. The certified guide was very friendly and chatted with me, so I never felt lonely and was able to fully immerse myself in the journey to the Jomon Sugi. I’m usually nervous about long treks when traveling alone, but thanks to the guide’s explanations along the way and the delicious snacks, it was the perfect way to get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life and feel completely refreshed.

I wasn’t confident in my stamina and was constantly worried before the tour whether I’d be able to walk for such a long time, but thanks to the guide, who adjusted our pace based on how I was doing and offered words of encouragement, I was able to successfully reach the Jomon Sugi! The sense of accomplishment and the emotion I felt upon arrival are indescribable. The Yakushima snacks we were given really hit the spot after my long, tiring hike. I’m so glad I took the plunge and gave it a try.

After walking along the long, long tram track, when I finally came upon the Jomon Sugi deep in the forest, its sheer majesty cleansed my soul. As I looked up at this giant tree that had lived for so many years in the silence, it felt as if my petty everyday worries were slowly melting away into the forest... It was a truly blissful and healing moment.
