Yakushima Tours Limited★Original Experience Plan

Although I was traveling alone, the female guide was very friendly and chatted with me, so I was able to enjoy the trek through Shiratani Unsuikyo without feeling lonely at all. She tailored the route to my preferences, allowing me to spend a luxurious day completely immersed in the deep forests of Yakushima. I’m also very pleased that she took so many photos for me.

I used this shop during my last visit to Yakushima, and I came back to them again this time for a private Shiratani Unsuikyo trekking tour. As always, the guide was very efficient and planned the perfect route to suit our preferences, so we were able to fully enjoy the forest bath in complete comfort. No matter how many times I visit, they never disappoint.

It was my first time on Yakushima, so I didn’t know my way around at all—and it was also my first time trekking. I’d asked my 70-year-old mother to come along, so I was a little nervous, but we met a truly wonderful guide, and I was moved all day long. Best of all, my 9-year-old son seemed to be having a great time the whole time, chatting away—it had been a long time since I’d seen him like that, and it made me so happy. Since my 70-year-old mother was with us, we toured Shiratani Unsuikyo and the Western Forest Road to see Okawa Falls—it was a truly satisfying day. I was deeply moved to see my son re-energized by being in nature, and my mother also came home having learned so much. I’m so grateful for the chance to meet such a wonderful guide. Thank you so much for the recommendation. To be honest, before going to Yakushima, I thought, “At 41, this is my first and last trip to Yakushima!” But by the time we were on the flight home, my son and I were already asking each other, “When should we go to Yakushima next?”—we were completely captivated by the island’s charm. Yakushima, the mystical island. I hope it continues to be such a wonderful place. I’ll definitely be back! Next time, I want to try hiking to the Jomon Sugi…!!!

I used this shop during my last visit to Yakushima, and this time I returned for a custom private tour package. As always, the guide was very efficient and efficiently took us to wonderful natural spots tailored to our requests. No matter how many times I use their services, they never disappoint.

I arranged this women-only tour as a gift for her trip to Yakushima. She was thrilled—she got to see wild animals along the Western Forest Road and fully enjoy the forest scenery, and she said she felt completely refreshed! It seems we had the tour all to ourselves, and the guide gave us a very attentive tour—I’m so glad I booked it.

Just like last year, we specifically requested this female guide. Since she fully understands our preferences and physical abilities, we were once again completely satisfied with the wonderful route she guided us on, which avoided the crowds. The attentive care that comes with a private tour and the taste of hot coffee enjoyed deep in the forest are simply the best, no matter how many times we experience them. We’ll definitely request her again next time.
