What is the Western Forest Road like?
The Western Forest Road is surrounded by the virgin forests of Yakushima Island, nurtured in harsh natural conditions.
As you follow this forest road, you will be surrounded by lush forests, rivers, and waterfalls that will take your breath away.
On the day of the event, the "Western Forest Road Forest'-' (used in place of '-')area in the area., ,I'm a local and can recommend it.We will take you to the most impressive spots.
Unlike a mountain climbing guide, we take our time and guide you slowly, so even if you are not confident about your physical strength, you can join us without worries.
What is the difference between forest bathing and mountain climbing?In mountain climbing, the goal is to reach the summit with a destination in mind.Forest bathing has no destination and the walk is short. Experiencing nature through the five senses has been shown to have a healing effect on the body and mind.
Unleashing your innate senses and feeling the forest for what it is will contribute to your physical and mental health.
You may see Yakushima macaques and Yakushika deer!
Yakushima is an island of people, deer, and monkeys, as they say, "20,000 people, 20,000 deer, and 20,000 monkeys.
You can also enjoy observing creatures unique to Yakushima that you cannot see up close in everyday life.
Since this is a private plan, please enjoy yourself at your own pace and relax without worrying about others.

Percentage of review submissions]Total 6 items550代Submitted Month: 2025/04It was a truly relaxing day surrounded by the serenity of the forest. The guide introduced us to a hidden waterfall, and we were impressed by the yak sika deer and yak monkeys we saw up close! Unlike mountain climbing, we were able to walk at a leisurely pace, so we could take the time to savor the sounds and scents of nature. The fact that it was a private tour was also a luxury, and it was a wonderful way to spend time on your own.
