To the jungle of Yakushima island

#getgoing2025 Yakushima, which was registered as a World Natural Heritage Site in 1993, is a mysterious island with a native forest that has not changed since the Jomon period. In the primeval forest of this island, many Yaku cedar trees over thousands of years old live there, and the largest confirmed Yaku cedar "Jomon cedar" is said to be more than 7200 years old and has become a symbol of Yakushima. It is said that the mossy forest "Shiratani Unsuikyo", which has a lot of precipitation throughout the year and was nurtured by the rain, has become a model for the movie "Princess Mononoke". We have a variety of courses, from courses for beginners to courses for advanced users, so please enjoy them.
