On page 12, I see only a high Bb single tremolo, followed by two octave tremolos. I would play all hand-to-hand.

The end of the first movement is a three-note tremolo of G, F#, and octave G. You have a few choices: low G in LH, F# and high G in RH; octave G's in RH and F# in LH; or low G and F# in LH and high G in RH. In my experience, most Japanese marimba tremolos sound best when played in the specific voicing indicated by the composer, so in this case I would choose the first option with the low G alternating with the high minor second, which emphasizes the half-step crunch. The other two options instead emphasize the half-step trill and/or the octave.
