Schedule

  1. Pick-up at your accommodation (Miyanoura – Anbo area)
  2. ◆Important Notes
    *Exact pick-up time will be confirmed by the guide the day before.
    *This is a private tour. Selecting "Private guide" from the options is required.
  3. Arrive at Arakawa Trailhead → Start on the old rail path
    The trail begins from the Arakawa Trailhead, which has separate flush toilets for men and women. After getting ready, the long trek starts along the old rail path.
    In summer, the sun begins to rise around departure time.

    *The route may be reversed, starting from Shiratani Unsuikyo.
  4. Kosugidani Bridge → Kosugidani Village Ruins
    A historical logging village that once housed about 540 residents in 1960.
  5. Kusugawa Junction → Sandai Sugi (Three Generations Cedar)
    A bio-toilet is available at Kusugawa Junction. About 10 minutes along the rail path from there stands Sandai Sugi, a rare Yakusugi cedar that has survived through three generations—true to its name. In winter, the sun begins to rise near the end of the rail path.
  6. Nioh Sugi → Enter the Ohkabu Trail
    Pass the mighty Nioh Sugi, resembling a guardian statue. The steep ascent begins here. Be sure to use the last toilet before continuing—no toilets for the next 5 hours (toilet booths available).
  7. Okina Sugi (Elder Cedar) Ruins → Wilson Stump
    After passing Okina Sugi, the second-largest cedar after Jomon Sugi, you’ll reach Wilson Stump. This massive hollow stump is large enough to step inside. A natural spring flows from below, and when you look up, you’ll see a heart-shaped opening above.
  8. Daiō Sugi (Great King Cedar)
    A massive 3,000-year-old tree standing 25 meters tall with a 16-meter girth.
  9. Meoto Sugi (Married Couple Cedar)
    Two trees joined around 10 meters above ground, resembling a couple holding hands.
  10. Jomon Sugi
    The largest and most famous cedar on Yakushima. Its powerful presence will leave a lasting impression.
  11. Descent via the same trail
    Take caution on the return—fatigue can increase the risk of slips. In winter, sunset occurs near the end of the rail path.
  12. Arrive at Arakawa Trailhead → Board the mountain bus
    In summer, you’ll return to your hotel before sunset.
  13. Around 18:30 Tour ends, Drop-off at your accommodation

Three beginner women participated. It was our first experience, and we were a bit nervous, but thanks to the thoughtful care we received, we were able to enjoy ourselves and reach the finish line without any injuries. Thanks to our veteran guide, it truly became a wonderful memory. Now that I'm back, my body is sore, but I really think it was worth it. Above all, it's thanks to our guide!! Thank you so much for a truly enjoyable 10 and a half hours!!初心者の女性3名で参加しました。
初めての体験で緊張もありましたが、最後まで楽しくゴールできるよう、細かな気遣いをいただき、無事怪我なく帰ってこれました。
ベテランのガイドさんのおかげで本当にいい思い出となり、帰って来た今は体はバキバキですが、本当に行ってよかったと思っております。なにより、ガイドさんのおかげです!!本当に楽しい10時間半をありがとうございました!!

The guide was knowledgeable and had endless topics to discuss, which helped us get through the 10-hour round trip! This time, the weather was clear and the path was mostly non-slippery, but having the guide made me feel more secure, and I was able to enjoy the experience without worrying about pacing myself.知識が豊富で、話題も付きないガイドさんだったので、往復10時間乗り切れました!
今回は晴天で足元もほぼ滑らない道中でしたが、それでもガイドさんがいる方が安心で、ペース配分も考える必要なく楽しめました。

Dear Tomoka,

Thank you for participating in the Jomon Sugi trekking and for sharing your experience.

During long treks, while natural explanations are important, walking in a fun way helps reduce fatigue, increases concentration, and minimizes the risk of injury. I would like to continue this style moving forward.

We sincerely look forward to your next visit to the island.

Best regards,
Guide Tsugimura

Moreover, the last stop at Jomon Sugi was so moving that it brought tears to my eyes. I now understand why it's said to be a place you should visit at least once in your lifetime. Choosing Yakushima for our honeymoon was definitely the right decision.

Tsugimachi Guide mentioned that those who see Jomon Sugi never get divorced, so if you wish for a happy marriage, you should definitely go! Thank you once again, Tsugimachi Guide!

Along the way, I crossed a bridge without handrails and another bridge where a fatal accident had occurred, which made for a thrilling experience that never got boring.
I was fortunate enough to see Yakushima deer along the way, and then the trolley path came to an end. After a short break, I finally challenged the steep mountain trail. From here, ancient Yakusugi trees over 1,000 years old appeared regularly, making the hike even more engaging.
And finally, I was able to pay my respects to the majestic Jomon Sugi. Its size and the carved contours allowed me to feel the years this tree has endured. I was satisfied to capture its grand and imposing figure in photos.
On the way back, the fatigue from the ascent set in, and descending the steep steps and the long trolley path afterward nearly caused my calves to cramp. By the way, I am a sub-4 hour runner in the full marathon, so I realized that this trekking required a fair amount of stamina.
However, thanks to our guide, Tsugimura, who provided interesting stories and took photos at just the right spots, I think it turned out to be a fulfilling trekking experience. Thank you very much.

We were made to walk quickly to Jomon Sugi, and thanks to that, we safely arrived at Jomon Sugi, but while other guides were providing various explanations, ours did not do so.
On the way back, we wanted to arrive by 5 PM, so we couldn't take photos freely, and when my feet started to hurt and I fell behind, we were scolded for breaking the line. I felt blue.
I understand the guide's goal was to safely deliver us back, so I was grateful that we made it back safely, even if I had to concede a lot.
However, I thanked the guide twice at the end, but I was ignored. If you are a guide, regardless of how things went along the way, I think it's important to say a word of thanks at the end.
If guiding is your profession, I would like you to treat all participants equally; I don't think I can recommend this to friends who are considering joining.
A final word of appreciation for the participants would be nice. I envied those who said they had fun.

私たちを無事に送り届けるというガイドの目的もわかるので、私たちも100歩譲って無事に帰ってこれたことには感謝しました。
ただ、最後にありがとうございましたとガイドに2度も声掛けしましたが無視されました。ガイドであれば、途中がどうであれ、最後にはお疲れ様でしたの一言は声かけた方がいいのではないでしょうか?
ガイドを職業とするなら、参加者には平等に接してほしいものです、行きたいと考えてる友人にも勧めることができそうにないです。
最後に一言は参加者に労ってほしいですね。

Due to heavy rain the day before, we were unsure if the bus would run, but we managed to get to the location, and by the time we departed, the rain had mostly stopped and it turned sunny. We were lucky.

I was really happy to see the Jomon Sugi after walking and walking. The water was incredibly delicious.

The guide shared a lot of information about the mountains, Jomon Sugi, and Yakushima, which was very helpful. It was a long tour, but I enjoyed it. Thank you very much.

I think opinions about the tour company and the guide can vary. Compared to another tour that contacted us the day before and the day before that, providing detailed information about what to bring, the meeting place, and the time, we did not receive any communication regarding the Jomon Sugi trekking until the day before.

Since we were scheduled to participate in the Shiratani trekking that afternoon, there was a possibility that we wouldn't have reception, so we had to reach out ourselves.

On the day of the tour, after getting off the shuttle bus, while other guides were calling out names to gather participants, our guide did not call out names, leaving participants to search for the guide. While it’s good to be cautious for safety during the trek, the way it was communicated was harsh and rude. At the very least, we are customers, and although we did not argue at the time and complied, we were criticized despite not being slow or unprepared.

I still feel upset about it. If they want to project professionalism, they might consider developing a more engaging way of communicating.

今も気分が悪い。プロ感を出すなら、もう少し、楽しませるような話術も身に着けてもよいのでは。

Dear Nancy,

Thank you for participating in the trekking tour.

We have been instructing our guides to be mindful of their tone, but this year, there have been many incidents of falls and slips. Some guides encourage gently, while others may speak a bit more firmly to ensure safety.

I completely understand that you would prefer a gentle approach, and I will remind our guides to be careful with their language.

Dear Nancy,

Thank you for participating in the trekking tour.

We have been instructing our guides to be mindful of their tone, but this year, there have been many incidents of falls and slips. Some guides encourage gently, while others may speak a bit more firmly to ensure safety.

I completely understand that you would prefer a gentle approach, and I will remind our guides to be careful with their language.

Additionally, the pre-tour confirmation process varies by guide company.

Our company has a system where customers contact us upon arriving in Yakushima. The reason is that while we are aware of your arrival time, many customers are busy with baggage claim and rental car arrangements right after arrival, so they tend to call us once they have settled down. This contact information is also noted on the application page and voucher.

That is all.
