Traveller reviews
My partner and I had the pleasure of joining Junichi for a kayak tour. He picked us up at our accommodation on the way to the launch site. The kayaking was so peaceful and Junichi shared his knowledge of the area with us as we paddled along. He pointed out many animals and small details we would have missed. We had a lovely little snack and tea before turning around. As we kayaked, he took many videos and photos which he shared with us later the same day. It was a perfect morning and I would highly recommend this tour.
Jun is the best! this was a crazy good trip and what an experience of a lifetime:-)
We were so glad we booked this kayak. It’s a very gentle peaceful paddle up the flat section of the iron bow. The field drive up deeply on either side with lush green vegetation. Our guide Jun was very knowledgeable and friendly, and we enjoyed the company very much.
My husband and I had the best time with Junichi from Yakushima Geographic Tours! We joined him for two tours over two days, and every moment was wonderful. On the first day, we enjoyed a peaceful kayaking trip down the Anbo River, where Junichi shared fascinating insights about the local wildlife and nature. We stopped along the riverside for a beautiful outdoor lunch, and even had the chance to cool off with a refreshing swim. The next day, we hiked the Shiratani trail and explored the magical forest. Junichi’s knowledge of the area is incredible, he told us so many stories and answered all our questions with such passion. He even brought cookware so we could enjoy a hot, freshly prepared lunch in the middle of the forest, which made the experience extra special. Another highlight was that Junichi took photos and even a video of our experiences, which he shared with us afterward, such a thoughtful way to help us remember the trip. And to top it all off, he surprised me with ice cream at the end of the tour to celebrate my birthday! It was an unforgettable experience, and we can’t recommend his tours highly enough! If you’re visiting Yakushima, this is an absolute must! We personally can’t wait to return and have Junichi as our guide again.
Our tour guide/instructor Jun was absolutely amazing. Jun took us to great and beautiful areas in Anbo River. I totally fallen in love with the beauty of Anbo River. Jun is also so knowledgeable about Anbo River.
Fantastic experience, highly recommend! Jun was our guide x 2 days and he is just great — highlight of the trip! In addition to kayaking, we did 2 short hikes and a half day touring the island. Jun was happy to modify our plans on the fly when we decided we didn’t want to do a full day hike anymore, and filled the day with touring of the island which was our favorite!
This tour was one of the highlights of our visit to Yakushima. The guide and company owner Juinishi took care of every detail ( no need to lcarry kayaks as we have done on other kayak trips) The trip is not too strenuous but the scenery is amazing. Jun is fun to be with and shared lots of local stories - water baseball and more. I highly recommend this trip
Jun the guide was an incredible guide. Thoughtful experienced and very aware of his clients needs and abilities. We hired him the first day for kayaking and then hired him for hiking and we were so glad we did. He thought of everything!
