Obviously, you would have to organise your own transportation from Kansai to Kagoshima or Yakushima. Description: I would like to organize an overnight trip to Yakushima, Kyusyu known for old cedar trees for at least 2 nights and 3 days between May 20 and 26th, taking advantage of the JAS/JAL Birthday Discount. I can take 3 more people to enjoy this 25,000-yen-to 40,000-yen discount on the round trip air tickets between Tokyo and Kagoshima. Please note that this trip is not for beginner hikers. In Yakushima, I would like to do: 1) Overnight camping hiking to Jomon Sugi (Big old ceder which is one of the UNESCO's World Heritage). 2) Kayaking and snorkelling in the ocean 3) I would like to stay at minshuku on one of the evenings instead of camping all days. Cost: It should cost most likely 65,000 yen including everything. The rough breakdown of the costs is: Tokyo - Kagoshima Round Trip Air Tickets: 20,600 yen Kagoshima Airport to Port Round Trip by Bus and Tax: 2,000 yen Kagoshima - Yakushima Round Trip Ferry Tickets: 12,600 yen (The airplanes are full!) Minsyuku: About 6,000 yen per night including two meals (multiplied by 1 or 2 depending on how many days we will be there) One-day Kayak and snorkelling Tour: 15,000 yen Qualifications to Join: Here are some qualifications of the 3 other participants on the trip: 1) Someone who is cooperative and willing to help others because this is a very small group trip, and we need to work together. For instance, most likely, a male member will carry our 4-person tent. 2) Someone who has joined more than ** hikes. This trip is not for beginner hikers. And you need to have skills to read hiking maps and to camp. You also need a sleeping bag. 3) Mountaineering insurance is required. If you don't have ones, you can get it for 1,000 yen there, which is valid for 3 nights and 4 days, and covers in case of any rescue. SIGN UP ------------- If you meet all 3 qualifications above and are still interested in this trip, please contact me at [email protected] with following information ASAP so that I can secure the Birthday Discount Air Tickets: 1) Your full name 2) Your email address 3) Are you male or female? 4) When is the good time to travel between May 20-26? 5) Have you done more than ** hiking and camping?
