Wandering through the forests of Yakushima is certainly a pleasant experience, but without knowledge of the plants, fauna, ecology and the history of the forest then it becomes a blur of green. Wandering through the forest with a YES guide brings it all to life with detailed explanations from the smallest moss to the largest tree.
A YES forest tour makes for a very rewarding experience.
Guests wishing to book a fully informative forest tour should consider the Shiratani Unsuikyo Tour and the Yakusugi Land & Yamato Sugi Tour. Due to the length of time it takes to hike to Jomon Sugi then there is inevitably less time for detailed explanation as you would receive on the other two shorter forest tours.
Please check the YES hiking gear recommendations. If you do not have the correct gear and don`t wish to carry heavy hiking boots on an international flight then YES can arrange hiking gear rental on Yakushima.
If you book a Yakushima tour with YES we will also be happy to RESERVE your Toppy & Rocket hydro-foil tickets to Yakushima.
Contact YES for more details.
