Hop, step, jump up the river! and swim in the water that you can drink.
Crystal clear water is running through big granite rocks. That is definitely a part of Yakushima's charm.
By stream climbing, we can feel that water with our entire body, taking advantage of Japanese summer.
In Yakushima, the weather is totally different at each spot of NESW side of the island, so that our guide will choose which river to use on that day, seeking for better condition and safety.
Therefore, challenging level and difficulty may differ from easy to moderate.
Please consult us in advance and our guide will take your physical capability into consideration upon deciding the location.
At the end of climbing, fabulous waterfall will welcome you. Its access is allowed only by this activity.
Why don't we have a coffee break right in front of waterfall?

For your peace of mind, we strongly recommend that all guests arrange their own travel insurance before your trip to Yakushima.
Your insurance should ideally cover medical expenses, emergency evacuation, and outdoor activities involving river trekking or stream climbing.
Yakushima’s natural environment is beautiful but sometimes remote. While our tours are operated with safety as our top priority, appropriate insurance helps ensure that you are protected in the unlikely event of illness, injury, or travel disruption.
Many international travelers are already covered through credit card travel insurance or private policies. We recommend confirming your coverage before your trip.
