Outdoor Yakushima Guide System

"This tour guide service offers eco tours of the mountains, forests, rivers, and ocean of Yakushima Island. Tour participants can enjoy the nature of Yakushima Island, which has a climate that ranges from subtropical to cold-temperate. Tours are guided by the company's owner, who was born and raised on Yakushima Island. Having been spent a childhood amongst the island's nature, he is incredibly knowledgeable about the hidden charms of Yakushima Island above and beyond the usual tourist attractions like the Jomon Sugi cedar or Mt. Miyanoura. Their popular Shiratani Unsui Gorge Exploration Tours take participants on a half-day to day-long trip through a moss-covered world said to have served as the inspiration for the setting of the film ""The Princess Mononoke."" Participants can experience this mystical world while listening to lectures on subjects including the origin of the forests and about the ecology of moss."
