Tourism EXPO Japan 2026
Yakushima (Island) National Park
When visiting Yakushima, make sure to get the official information about Yakushima. The web is full of old and incorrect information. If you get accurate information a few months before your trip and plan carefully, you can enjoy your trip even more.
It might not be the most exciting story, but I can't recommend hiking in snowy areas during the snow season. Several foreign travelers have already met a sad fate. The snow on Yakushima is wet and heavy, and blizzards happen quite often. If you're traveling in winter, choose lower mountains without snow. Anyway, be sure to listen to advice from local professionals.
Yakushima guided tours aren't just about showing you the way—they're high-quality adventure tours that are recognized worldwide. With an officially certified Yakushima guide, you can enjoy walking around while learning about the island's amazing ecosystem, the history of forestry since the Middle Ages, and uniquely Japanese beliefs.
The forests of Yakushima aren't just for sports—they're also a place to spark your curiosity and have unforgettable experiences. So, we recommend choosing an eco-tour with an officially certified Yakushima guide.
