    Q. How old must I be to participate?
    In many cases, there is no clear upper age limit set for Yakushima tours, and there are many plans that allow participants over 70 years old.
    However, participation will be determined based on age as well as physical fitness and health, and the difficulty of the course.
    Since conditions may be set for treks that require long hours of walking, it is important to check the conditions of participation in advance and consult with the tour company if you have any concerns.
    Q. Can I participate even if I have a limp?
    Those with limited mobility may be able to participate in walking tours with short walking distances, sightseeing tours by car, and private guided tours.
    Some tours proceed with many breaks, and some courses can be adjusted to suit your fitness level.
    However, there are cases where it is difficult to participate for safety reasons, so it is important to inform them of your symptoms and fitness level in advance and choose a plan that is comfortable for you.
    Q. Can I participate alone?
    Many Yakushima tours allow solo participation, and you can enjoy sightseeing at your own pace by taking a small-group tour or a chartered tour.
    A guide will accompany the tour, so even first-timers and those unfamiliar with travel can participate with ease.
    Another attraction is the opportunity to mingle with other participants. Early reservations may be necessary during peak season, so please check availability in advance.
    Q. Is it okay if I have a pre-existing medical condition?
    If you have a pre-existing medical condition, you may still be able to participate if your symptoms are stable, but if you have a heart condition, respiratory illness, or any other condition that may be hard on your body, your participation may be restricted.
    For your safety, be sure to declare any pre-existing medical conditions and medication status at the time of booking.
    Since a doctor's note may be required, it is important to participate within a reasonable time frame.
    Q. What are the cancellation conditions?
    Cancellation policies vary from tour company to tour company and plan to plan, but usually a cancellation fee is charged several days prior to the participation date.

    I was glad I took the plunge and joined the tour even though I was alone. Unfortunately, we were not blessed with good weather for the view from Taikoiwa, but it was a good opportunity for me to come back again. I was able to enjoy the tour by myself without any problems, and I hope to return to the island within a year if possible and ask for a guide again.

    Mr. KAORU / 50s Posted on 2026-04

    On April 17, seven of us, ranging in age from late 50s to mid 70s, joined the tour. We asked for two guides because we were worried that some of us might turn back on the way because it was a long trip, which we had never experienced before. We asked for two guides, one male and one female. At first we were told to reduce our luggage, but they were very helpful, carrying the backpack of a person who had a cramp in his leg and carrying the lunch box of a person who had heavy luggage. They lent us cushions when we needed to rest, provided warm miso soup for lunch, gave us compresses when we fell down, and gave us a lot of explanations and guidance. I was surprised that the female guide's luggage was so large, but I think she came equipped with a lot of things so that she could cope with anything. I realized that the strict instructions she gave us were necessary in order to take us all to the Jomon cedars with seven lives in our hands. We took the first bus up the mountain and ended up on the last bus, but the male guide ran ahead of us to the bus stop while trying not to rush us. We had a lot of fun with you two guiding us. Thank you very much!

    It was almost the first time for all of us to climb a mountain, but thanks to the guide's well-timed breaks, we were able to walk without any difficulty. Although some of the slopes were tough for beginners, we were all very satisfied with the spectacular view we had when we climbed Taikoiwa.
