One of our most popular tours is the Yakushima Island Tour. Throughout the tour guests will learn about the rich history of the island, the unique culture and what it’s like to live on Yakushima. The tour stops at some of the well-known locations as well as some lesser-known favorite spots. On a full day tour, guests will be able to do a complete circuit of the island and stop off at many places of interest along the way. Highlights of the island tour include waterfalls, the wildlife along the Seibu Rindo, the Hirauchi Sea Onsen and the beaches of Nagata. There is usually time to visit a local crafts shop if requested.  There is no set itinerary for the Yakushima Island Tour as weather and other factors determine the route we take and the places we visit.  However, rest assured that we maximize what can be seen during the duration of the tour.

Most of the sites we visit are on the unpopulated side of the island, where there are few shops and restaurants, and so we provide a bento – a Japanese packed lunch. If you have dietary preferences then please let us know and we will do our best to accommodate your dietary restrictions.

If you are leaving the island on the day of the tour then we can drop you directly at the port or airport. The island tour can also be adjusted for those that do not have a full day on the island, but wish to see as much as possible in a shorter time frame.

The private tours the Yakushima Island Tour itineraries can be tailor-made to fit your schedule and interests.
