UNESCO listed the entire island of Yaskushima as a World Heritage Site in 1993. Hidden deep inside its mountainous interior grow the world-famous <i>yakusagi</i>, ancient cedar trees believed to be between 2000 and 7000 years old. Take a private Yakushima tour and discover the beaches, forests and mountains of this island paradise with a knowledgeable local guide.

Hike with your guide to the incredible "Jomon Sugi" tree, the oldest tree in Japan and ranked as one of the oldest in existence anywhere in the world. Visit the photogenic Hananoego and Kohananoego marshes, stop at waterfalls, see local artisans at work, and explore the traditional villages in the south of the island. You can even go to the beach for a dip in a Japanese <i>onsen</i> (hot spring) only accessible at low tide.

Your guide will make sure you leave the island with an understanding of what makes Yakushima so special, after your private Yakushima tour.
