The Milky Way over Yakushima, Wild Forests, Forgotten Paths, and Hot Springs
This tour is for travelers who want to see Japan beyond the cities — untouched, quiet, and deeply authentic. Walk among ancient cedar trees, sleep under the stars on a tropical island, bathe in wild mountain onsen, and discover places that don’t exist in guidebooks.
What Awaits You
Yakushima — The Island of Forests and the Milky Way
Explore the southern island covered in thousand-year-old cedar trees. Walk the Jomon Sugi trail, stay overnight in an eco-lodge, soak in open-air hot springs, and watch the Milky Way above the jungle canopy.
Mountain Treks and “Forgotten Trails”
Hike through the sacred forests of Kumano Kodo, old Buddhist pilgrimage routes, and remote gorges in Nagano and Koya-san. For lovers of silence and natural beauty.
Wild Hot Springs
Not hotel baths, but real natural onsen hidden in the mountains — among rocks and rivers, where only locals go.
Iriomote Island — Mangrove Jungle Adventure
In Okinawa’s remote Iriomote Island, paddle through mangrove forests by kayak, find hidden waterfalls, wild beaches, and rare wildlife. A complete digital and mental detox.
Village Cuisine & Local Guesthouses
Stay in ryokan or minshuku guesthouses, and enjoy homemade meals with rice, miso soup, and vegetables from the garden — the taste of rural Japan.
