I participated alone and it was my first mountain climbing experience, so I was filled with anxiety. However, thanks to Tsugimura's conversational skills and the personalities of the other two groups, I was able to enjoy the climb! Tsugimura's quizzes and various knowledge discussions made the time fly, and before I knew it, we had arrived at the top, which was impressive. I encourage everyone to join in as well! You won't regret it.
自分は一人で参加かつ今回が初登山で不安だらけでしたが、
津曲さんの会話の回しやトーク力、
残り二人、2組の方たちのお人柄もありまして
楽しく登山がてきました!!
津曲さんのクイズや色々な知識のトークがあって
気がついたら着いてたので流石だなと思いました
皆様もぜひ参加してみてください!!
後悔はしないはずです

My first time in Yakushima, and traveling alone.
When I arrived at Yakushima Airport, the sun was already setting.
As I was feeling anxious about whether I would easily find my accommodation while heading there by bus, I spoke on the phone with my guide to confirm the tour for the next day.
When I hung up, they cheerfully and kindly said, "Be careful on your way to the accommodation," which made me feel very relieved.
The next morning, when they came to pick me up at the accommodation, they gently taught me how to put on the shoes and gaiters I had purchased for trekking in Yakushima.
The Shiratani tour had a group of seven, but the guide was considerate of each person's condition, subtly attentive, took many photos, and had wonderful storytelling skills (laughs). Thanks to that, we had great teamwork and it was always a fun trekking experience filled with laughter.
It was raining at the start, but the rain stopped along the way, and we were able to enjoy a breathtaking view at Taiko Rock.
The Shiratani Unsuikyo was truly a wonderful place.
Thank you so much, guide Mr. Uranishi!
初めての屋久島、そして一人旅。
屋久島空港に着くともう日がくれてました。
これから宿にバスで向かおうと、宿の場所すぐわかるかなあと不安な中、翌日のツアーの確認で今回のガイドさんと電話でお話ししました。
電話を切る時に「気をつけて宿に行ってねー」と明るく優しく言ってもらい、とてもホッとしました。
翌朝宿に迎えに来てくれた時には、屋久島トレッキングのために購入したシューズやスパッツの装着法も優しく教えてくれました。
白谷ツアーは7人グループでしたが、ガイドさんは一人一人の状態を考慮しつつ、さりげなく気配りして下さったり写真を沢山撮ってくれたり、そして素晴らしい話術(笑)。そのおかげでチームワーク良く常に楽しく笑いの絶えないトレッキングになりました。
出発時は雨でしたが途中で雨が上がり太鼓岩で絶景を観ることができました。
白谷雲水峡は全てがとても素晴らしいところでした。
ガイドの浦西さん、本当にありがとうございました!

I signed up for a two-day course that includes Jomon Sugi, Shiratani Unsuikyo, and Taiko Rock. Fortunately, the weather was clear for both days, which made for great tracking conditions. The Jomon Sugi course became quite challenging for us in our 40s, who usually enjoy cycling and low mountain climbing, especially in the second half. It was easier than climbing Mount Fuji since there was no altitude sickness, but it still left us feeling quite fatigued. Surprisingly, I was able to move well on the second day without carrying over too much fatigue.
The guide moved at a relatively brisk pace, so if you take your time to take photos or relax, the second half can become quite tough. It’s wise to keep up with the guide a bit. The reassuring feeling of being able to gauge the pace and the abundance of learning opportunities are great aspects of this tour.
I was particularly impressed by the guide's extensive knowledge on the second day. They could provide information on plants, mountains, history, geography, society, and local information; you could ask questions and generally receive answers. The guide had a humble and refined tone.
The Shiratani Unsuikyo course was one we could have climbed on our own, but having the guide made it a very meaningful experience. There was a couple in their 60s who were on their first mountain climb, and they arrived safely as well. The pace might have been a bit slower to accommodate them, but that allowed us to take plenty of photos.
With safety, beautiful scenery during the tracking, opportunities to learn, and meeting people, it turned out to be a wonderful trip. Thank you!
縄文杉and白谷雲水峡➕太鼓岩の2日間コースに申し込みました。
幸い2日間晴れていたのでトラッキングにはよい条件でした。縄文杉コースは、40代で日頃サイクリングと低山登山の趣味の我々にも後半はしんどいものになりました。富士登山よりは高山病がない分楽ですが、それでも結構な疲労感ですが、案外2日目に疲れはひきづらず動けました。
ガイドさんは割とサクサクと進む感じはしますか、
写真を撮ったりのんびりしていたら後半がたいへんなことになるので、ちょっと頑張ってガイドさんについていくことが賢明です。
ペースが計れる安心感と学びが多いことが、このツアーのよいところです。
特に2日目のガイドさんの博学ぶりには脱帽です。
植物のこと、山のこと、歴史のこと、地理、社会、地域情報、質問したらだいたい教えてもらえます。
謙虚で品がある口調で
特に白谷雲水は自分たちでも登れるコースでしたが
ガイドさんがいてくれたことで
とても有意義な時間になりました。
2日目のコースは、60代の初登山夫婦もいましたがまんな無事到着しました。おそらくそのご夫婦に合わせて少しペースは遅かったのかもしれないですが、その分写真を沢山とる余裕ができました。
安全面、トラッキングで美しい景色を眺めること、学べること、人と出会うこと
いい旅になりした。
ありがとうございます。

The itinerary took about 13 hours from departure until returning to the hotel. However, Tsugimura-san had an incredible wealth of knowledge about Yakushima and the Yakusugi trees, as well as about the inspiration behind "Princess Mononoke." The conversations were fascinating, and along the way, there were quizzes and games, making the mountain paths anything but boring. In fact, it was a very enjoyable trekking experience!
I also requested photo and video services, and there were plenty of great shooting spots, making it a memorable tour both in memory and record! I am truly grateful to Tsugimura-san for being my guide!
I highly recommend Tsugimura-san as a guide! Since there are aspects of photography and videography that you might overlook, I think it's a good idea to request assistance. For clothing, bright colors like red, yellow, and white, as well as fluorescent colors, work best for photos. Initially, I wore black and navy, which didn't photograph well at all… The early departure at just past 4 AM was quite challenging, and it’s best to go to bed early at night. For snacks, I recommend jelly-like items, as they help with thirst!
出発してから、ホテルに戻るまで、約13時間の工程でした。しかし、津曲さんは、屋久島や屋久杉に関する知識や、モチーフとされているもののけ姫に関する知識がすごく豊富で話が面白く、途中途中、クイズやゲームをしてくださり、全く山道に退屈することなく、むしろ、とても楽しい楽しいトレッキングでした!
写真&動画サービスもお願いしたのですが、撮影ポイントがすごく豊富で、記憶と記録に残るツアーにしていただきました!
本当に本当に、津曲さんにガイドしてもらって感謝です!
ガイドさんは津曲さんがおすすめです!
写真や動画は、自分では気が回らないところもあるので、お願いするのもいいと思います。
服装は、赤や黄色、白色などの明るい色や蛍光色のものがいいです。とても写真映えします。
初めは黒と紺だったので、全く写真映えせずに困りました…。
朝4時過ぎの出発と、とても朝が早くて大変でした…夜は早くて寝るに越したことはないです。
軽食は、喉が乾くので、ゼリー状のものがおススメです!

A week before participating in the trekking tour to Shiratani Unsuikyo (up to Taiko Rock), I developed back pain and started the trek with some anxiety. Thanks to the support of our guide, I was able to trek while taking breaks and listening to various stories about Shiratani Unsuikyo, and I successfully reached Taiko Rock. Thank you, guide.
I wondered if trekking shoes were necessary for the tour, but I ended up purchasing a new pair and participating. I definitely felt they were essential. In many ways, the trekking shoes helped me, and I realized that I shouldn't underestimate mountain climbing.
On the day of the trek, the weather was a bit cloudy, but it cleared up temporarily when we arrived at Taiko Rock, allowing us to see beautiful scenery. It was truly a satisfying day.
白谷雲水峡(太鼓岩まで)トレッキングツアーの参加の1週間前に腰痛になり、不安な気持ちでトレッキングスタートしました。
ガイドさんのサポートもあり、休憩しつつ、かつ、白谷雲水峡に関する色々な話も聞きながらトレッキングできたため、無事に太鼓岩まで完走できました。ガイドさん、ありがとうございます。
トレッキングツアーに、トレッキングシューズが必要なのかなと思いつつも、新品のトレッキングシューズを購入し参加しましたが、やはり、必須だったと感じています。いろんな意味で、トレッキングシューズに助けられ、登山を甘く見てはだめだと実感しています。
当日は、少し曇り模様の天気でしたが、太鼓岩到着時には一時的に天気も良くなり、美しい景色を見ることができ、本当に満足できる一日でした。

I had never gone mountain climbing since I was little, so I joined this tour feeling both anxious and excited. It was about a 12-hour hike to Jomon Sugi, Taiko Rock, and Shiratani Unsuikyo, but I was able to truly experience the great nature of Yakushima, making it the best experience! During the hike, Tsugimura-san taught us various things, and we were able to walk happily while playing games and quizzes. There were breaks along the way, and they adjusted the pace to match the participants, so even as a beginner, I could hike without any difficulty! Additionally, they took many photos and videos for us. The pictures and videos were ones we couldn't have taken ourselves, and even now that the trip is over, I'm still reminiscing about it. It seems that different scenery can be seen depending on the season, so I definitely want to participate again. Thank you very much!
小さい頃以来一度も登山をしたことがなかったので、不安な気持ちとワクワク感を感じながら今回のツアーに参加させて頂きました。
縄文杉、太鼓岩、白谷雲水峡と約12時間の登山でしたが屋久島の大自然を肌で感じることができ、最高の体験となりました!
登山中は津曲さんが色々なことを教えてくださり、ゲームやクイズをしながら楽しく歩くことができました。
途中で休憩もあり、参加者のペースに合わせて進んでくれるので初心者の私でも無理なく登山することができました!
また、沢山写真や動画を撮影してくださいます。自分たちでは撮れない写真や動画ばかりで、旅が終わった今でも思い出に浸っています。
季節によって様々な景色が見れるようなので、是非また参加させて頂きたいと思っています。

I was unsure whether to hire a guide, but I'm really glad I booked this tour with Tsugimura. I gained a lot of knowledge about Yakushima and experienced attractions that I wouldn't have noticed if I had climbed on my own. During the monotonous paths, we played games and quizzes, and thanks to Tsugimura, we were able to enjoy trekking the whole time. He took many photos and videos, and I'm looking forward to looking back at them after the trip. When I go to Yakushima again, I would like to ask Tsugimura to be my guide. I will also recommend him to my friends! Thank you very much.
ガイドを付けるか迷いましたが、津曲さんのこのツアーを予約して本当に良かったです。屋久島の様々な知識も増え、自分達だけで登っていたら気付いていなかった魅力も味わえました。
単調な道ではゲームをしたりクイズをしてくださったり、津曲さんのおかげで常に楽しくトレッキングすることが出来ました。

The weather was favorable, and I was able to fully enjoy both Jomon Sugi and Shiratani Unsuikyo without any issues. The view from Taiko Rock, in particular, is exceptional.

The guide's pacing and explanations were very smooth, making the trekking experience enjoyable from start to finish. Thank you so much for organizing the ambitious course!

This course is highly recommended for those with good stamina!
If you pay an additional fee, you can have many photos and videos taken.
This is also highly recommended; the results are amazing.
During the trekking, we were able to explore Shirakawa Unsuikyo and Jomon Sugi in one day at our own pace.
The view from Taiko Rock was especially fantastic!!
Additionally, the guide shared lesser-known photo spots and taught us about Yakushima's history while trekking, so there was a lot to learn.
Thank you to our guide for a fun and wonderful day!
One of the highlights of this course is that you can visit the must-see spots of Yakushima in one day, allowing you to use other days for activities besides trekking or to relax at your hotel, fully enjoying Yakushima.
Of course, the trekking itself is also wonderful!
Therefore, I recommend this course for those with good stamina!
体力のある方にはすごくオススメのコースです!
追加料金を払えば、写真や動画もたくさん撮っていただけます。
これもすごくオススメです。出来上がりが素晴らしいです。
トレッキングは私たちのペースに合わせてもらいながら、白川雲水峡から縄文杉を1日で回ることができました。
特に太鼓岩からの眺めは最高でした!!
また、ネットではあまり知られない写真スポットもガイドさんから教えてもらえたり、トレッキングをしながら屋久島の歴史などを教えてもらえたりするので、学びもたくさんあります。
ガイドさん、楽しい、最高な1日をありがとうございました!
特にこのコースのオススメポイントは1日で屋久島の醍醐味のスポットを回れるので、他の日はトレッキング以外のアクティビティに使ったり、ホテルでくつろいだりと屋久島を堪能できるところだと思います。
もちろん、トレッキングの内容も素晴らしいですよ!
ですので、体力のある方にはこのコースをオススメします!
Dear Yuumin,
Thank you very much for participating in the trekking tour and for sharing your experience. Although there were some unexpected events along the way, I’m glad we were able to visit all the points safely.
Recently, the weather in Yakushima has been poor, and the view from Taiko Rock wasn't great, but on the day of your tour, we had clear skies and the best views, which truly lifted my spirits. Walking to Jomon Sugi and Shiratani Unsuikyo in one day can be tough, but for those who are confident in their physical fitness, I would recommend this tour as it allows you to make the most of the days before and after trekking.
Next time, please come back to climb a different mountain or visit during another season. We look forward to welcoming you again.

I was very disappointed with the guide G on the first day (Jomon Sugi). However, the guide Yokota on the second day (Shiratani Unsuikyo) was wonderful, making the unpleasant experience of the first day feel like a distant memory.
Regarding the guide for Jomon Sugi on the first day, we had informed them during the reservation that we (three people) were beginners, but we ended up in a group with three experienced hikers. Despite this, the guide did not show any concern for us from start to finish. I felt that the walking pace was fast from the beginning, and I struggled to keep up. Other groups received explanations, breaks, and warnings about dangerous areas at key points, but G only stopped when he wanted to take pictures (he mentioned he guides Jomon Sugi every other day) and started walking again before we could catch up, resulting in almost no breaks during the two-and-a-half-hour trek along the trolley path. Once we entered the mountain trail, the gap between us and the other participants widened even more, and we finally reached Jomon Sugi with great difficulty.
However, what was unbelievable was the return journey. Without any confirmation or prior notice, the guide decided on the bus departure time (three buses before the last one), and we walked at a pace even faster than before (almost a jog), causing the distance between us and the people in front to increase, sometimes to the point where we could no longer see the guide.
Reading this far, one might think it was just our stubbornness or lack of fitness, but in reality, even the experienced participants often stumbled or struggled to keep up. When we finally arrived at the bus boarding area, the arrival time was exactly when the bus was scheduled to depart. However, we were told there were only six empty seats, and one person could not board. I was left wondering what we had worked so hard for. To make matters worse, we were told that if we didn't want to wait for the next bus (an hour later), we could board this bus and then find our own way back, either by walking or calling a taxi. After such an unpleasant experience, we couldn't bear to wait another hour with the guide, and we had no choice but to take this bus back (of course, we had to cover the taxi fare ourselves).
As part of the tour, we were supposed to have a guide's transportation from the bus to our accommodation, but in the end, there was no transportation provided, and we concluded the tour without any apology for not being able to accommodate everyone on the bus or for the lack of transportation at the end of the day.
The first day turned out to be filled with fatigue and dissatisfaction, and I learned that the satisfaction of the tour can vary greatly depending on the guide.
1日目(縄文杉)のガイドのGさんへの評価が非常にがっかりでした。ただ2日目(白谷雲水峡)のガイドのヨコタさんは素晴らしいアテンドだったので1日目の嫌な思いをなかったことにできるくらい良い思い出になりました。
1日目の縄文杉のガイドさんについてですが、予約時に私たち(3人)は初心者とお伝えしていたものの同じグループになったのは経験者の方々(3人)。それでも、ガイドさんは最初から最後まで私たちを気遣うことはありませんでした。
最初から歩くペースが早いなとは感じており、なんとかついていく状況。他のグループは要所要所で説明や休憩、危ない場所の注意喚起などされていましたが、Gさんはご自身が写真を撮りたい時(2日に1回は縄文杉のガイドをしているそうです)のみ立ち止まり、私たちが追いつく前に歩き出してしまうのでほぼほぼ休憩がないまま2時間半のトロッコ道は終わりました。いよいよ山道に入ると、私たちと他の方々の間が益々空いていき、不安なままやっとの思いで縄文杉まで到着しました。
しかし信じられなかったのは復路です。
私たち含め参加者全員の希望があったわけでも無いのに何の確認や予告もなくバスの乗車時間をガイドさんが決めており(最終バスの3本前)、往路以上のペース(競歩以上、ほぼ小走り)で歩くため前の人とどんどん間隔が空いていき、ガイドの方が見えなくなるくらい距離ができてしまうときもありました。
ここまでの文章を読むとただの私たちの我が儘や運動不足が原因かと思えてしまいがちですが、実際、参加者の経験者の方々も足を踏み外したりついていけない状況もしばしば。やっとの思いでバスの乗車場所に着くとなんと到着時間はバス出発時刻ちょうど。しかし、空席は6席と言われ、1名のみ乗れない状況となりました。何のために必死で食らいついてきたのかわからなくなってしまいました。挙句の果てに次のバス(1時間後)を待つのが嫌なら、このバスに乗って、そこから先は自分達で歩くなりタクシーを呼ぶなり自力で帰るなら先に乗っても良いと言われる始末。こんな不愉快な思いをして、さらに1時間ガイドさんと一緒に待つなんて耐えられず、疲れ切った私たちはこのバスに乗って帰る以外の選択肢はありませんでした。(もちろんタクシー代は自己負担)
ツアーとして、バスから先は宿泊先までガイドの方の送迎が付くはずでしたが、結果送迎がないままツアー終了となり、特に最後まで送迎ができない、かつバスに全員乗れなかったことに対してのお詫びも一切なく1日目の縄文杉ツアーを終えました。
疲れや不満など色んな感情が溜まるばかりの1日目となってしまい、今回の体験でガイドさんによってかなりツアーの満足度が変わることを学びました。
Dear San'nin,
Thank you very much for participating in our trekking tour and for sharing your experience.
I sincerely apologize for the situation on the first day with the Jomon Sugi tour, where we unfortunately did not have enough guides and had to rely on another guiding company. I was assured that they had experienced guides, so I felt at ease, but I am truly sorry that it resulted in an unpleasant experience for you.
Moving forward, we will ensure that both our guides and those from partner companies are properly instructed to prevent such occurrences. I apologize once again for the inconvenience.
I am relieved to hear that you had a wonderful experience with our guide on the second day at Shiratani Unsuikyo. As the person in charge, I am glad to know that you enjoyed it. When you visit Yakushima again, we will provide you with the best hospitality, so please look forward to it.

I was anxious about joining the tour since I was alone, but it turned out to be the right decision. I learned various things, such as where to take breaks, how to walk, and that climbing this mountain path allows you to shortcut to the trolley path.
I’m a woman in my 20s, and I was worried about feeling awkward with a group of girls my age, but the guide was very considerate and talked to me a lot. I also became friendly with the other participants after sharing so many ups and downs together.
The day before, I climbed Shiratani Unsuikyo, but this was on a whole different level of difficulty. However, since I had no prior hiking experience, I felt like I got used to using my legs from the mini hike the day before. I don’t usually exercise at all, but since we spent more time on the flat trolley path, it wasn’t too physically demanding. (Although I did have terrible muscle soreness for about two days afterward...)
It had been sunny the day before and the day before that, but unfortunately, it rained on the day of the hike. They say it rains about 35 days a month, so I rented an extra set of rain gear in addition to what I brought, and wearing both kept me completely dry and allowed me to climb without losing energy.
Honestly, I wasn’t that moved by Jomon Sugi, but I did feel a sense of accomplishment when I reached the goal. I had always wanted to experience Jomon Sugi trekking at least once in my life, and I’m glad I did! It was a valuable experience.
ひとりだったので不安でツアーに参加しましたが、正解でした。どこで休憩できるか、どんな歩き方をすればいいか、ここの山道を登るとトロッコ道をショートカットできます、などなど、色々教えていただきました。
私は20代女性、同世代の女子グループと私で、参加前は気まずい思いをしないか不安でしたが、ガイドさんも気を遣って私にたくさん話しかけてくださり、他の参加者さんともこれだけの苦楽を共にすると仲良くしていただきました。
前日に白谷雲水峡に登りましたが、段違いの大変さでした。しかし登山未経験だったので前日のプチ登山で足の使い方など慣れた気がします。普段全く運動しませんが、平坦なトロッコ道を進む時間のほうが長いので、体力的にはそこまでキツくなかったです。(終わってから二日ほどひどい筋肉痛でしたが…)
前日前々日まで晴れでしたが当日はあいにくの雨…ひと月に35日雨が降ると言われるだけですので、持参した雨具と別に雨具をもう1セットレンタルし二重に着ると、全く濡れず、体力を奪われずに登ることができました。
正直縄文杉にはそこまで感動しませんでしたが、ゴールにたどり着いた達成感はありました。人生で一度は経験したいと思っていた縄文杉トレッキング、経験して良かった!貴重な経験になりました。

I usually don't exercise much, so I wasn't confident in my physical fitness, which is why I joined the tour of Shiratani Unsuikyo. I participated alone, but the guide and the three other participants were all wonderful people, making it an incredibly enjoyable trekking experience.
Thanks to the Shiratani Unsuikyo course, we were able to maintain a comfortable pace, and the guide patiently waited while we took photos whenever we wanted. At the photo points, the guide took many pictures for us, so even though I was traveling alone, I was able to capture many joyful memories filled with smiles. Thank you very much.
The next day, while I was cycling around the island alone, I coincidentally ran into two of the people I trekked with, and we spent a little more lovely time together.
I hope one of them will join a tour with a guide and enjoy the once-in-a-lifetime experience.

The first day of trekking to Jomon Sugi was a challenging round trip of about 10 hours. We were caught in the rain, so rain gear was essential. There were two other participants besides us, and they seemed to be struggling quite a bit. However, we encouraged each other as we climbed, and when we finally saw Jomon Sugi, it was truly moving.
On the second day, we hiked up to Taiko Rock in Shiratani Unsuikyo. It was said to be a leisurely stroll compared to the previous day's Jomon Sugi, but in reality, it might have been even tougher than Jomon Sugi. However, the feeling of reaching the summit was even more exhilarating than at Jomon Sugi. It was absolutely beautiful.
I was really torn about whether to join the tour until the end, but I’m so glad I did. It became the best experience ever!!!
1日目の縄文杉トレッキングは往復10時間程の行程で非常に大変でした。
雨にも降られてしまったので、レインウェアは必須でした。
私たちの他にも2名参加していましたが、非常にキツそうでした。
が、みんなで励まし合いながら登り、縄文杉を見れた際には感動しました。
2日目の白谷雲水峡は太鼓岩まで登りました。前日の縄文杉と比べたら散策程度だと言われていましたが、実際は縄文杉以上にキツかったかもしれません。
しかし、頂上についた時の感動も縄文杉以上でした。
本当に綺麗でした。
ツアーを付けるか最後まで悩んでいましたが、ツアーして頂き本当に良かったと思っています。最高の経験になりました!!!

台風も来ていてとても心配しながら家を出発いたしましたが東京等大荒れにもかかわらず飛行機の乗り継ぎもうまく行き屋久島空港到着。いよいよ翌日のトレッキング…。ガイド谷山さんの超絶ツァーガイドのお陰様で白谷雲水峡、素晴らしいパソラマの絶景太鼓岩、縄文杉そして帰りも荒川登山口まで無事に1日で回ることができました。会社の方では申し込み時点で必要なものについて少し説明して欲しかった…などいろいろありますが長い道中谷山さんの微に入り細に入りのご注意ご指導を頂き、また、ユーモア交えた楽しいおしゃべりに長い時間のトロッコ道もあっという間でした。記念すべき高齢トレッキング完歩!ありがとうございました。

This time, we signed up for the Jomon Sugi one-day tour plus the Shiratani Unsuikyo plan. The round trip to Jomon Sugi is 22 kilometers, and the round trip to Shiratani Unsuikyo is 5.5 kilometers of hiking. It was definitely long.
However, both my wife and I had no hiking experience at all, but thanks to our guides, we were able to enjoy it without having to retire.
It was physically demanding, so the muscle pain that came afterward was intense. But the experience of being in such a fantastical space made it worthwhile. The Jomon Sugi, which is thousands of years old, and the moss-covered forest that reminds one of the world of Studio Ghibli were truly sights to behold. The long journey brought a sense of excitement that made it all the more rewarding.
Along the way, we encountered Yakushima deer and monkeys, which made it really fun.
Additionally, since this was during the COVID-19 pandemic, instead of the usual one guide for 6 to 7 people, it was just my wife and me this time.
In the moss-covered forest, which used to have dozens of people waiting in line for photos, we were able to take our time with just the guide.
I also felt grateful for the guide's presence. In places like Jomon Sugi and Shiratani Unsuikyo, we had to hike on unmarked paths. In the past, when there were many tourists, you could just follow the person in front of you, but now there are fewer people.
Without the guide, I would have felt anxious about the long distance, and there was a real possibility of getting lost.
Moreover, having the guide allowed us to see many sightseeing spots on the way to Jomon Sugi and Shiratani Unsuikyo. I think we would have missed many things without them.
This time, our guide for Jomon Sugi was a tall, dandy man named Minoda, who was cheerful and fun to talk to.
The guide for Shiratani Unsuikyo was knowledgeable and great at taking photos, named Niimura.
*He took several pictures of my wife and me, and the angles were fantastic.
My wife and I had our wedding at the end of August. We debated about our honeymoon, but since we couldn't go to tourist spots that seemed crowded due to COVID-19, we chose Yakushima.
I still believe that choice was not a mistake.
I would love to go again someday. Thank you very much.
*As a side note, having trekking poles makes hiking much easier. I recommend buying or renting them if you're a beginner.
今回申し込んだのは縄文杉1日+白谷雲水峡のプランでした。縄文杉は往復22キロ、白谷雲水峡は往復5.5キロの登山です。とにかく長い。
しかし、私も妻も全く登山経験の無い初心者でしたがガイドの方達のおかげで、リタイアする事なく楽しめました
身体を酷使するので後から来る筋肉痛は酷かったです。でもその分幻想的な空間を味わえます。樹齢数千年の縄文杉やジブリの世界を思わせる苔むす森は見ものです 道のりが長いからこそ得られる感動がありました。
途中にヤクシカや猿も出てきたりして本当楽しかったです
また今回はコロナ下の中だったので、普段は1人のガイドさんで6〜7人案内するのが、今回私と妻の2人だけでした
以前は何十人も順番待ちで写真を撮ってたと言う苔むす森も私と妻とガイドさんだけでゆっくり出来ました。
更に感じたのはガイドさんの有り難さです。
縄文杉や白谷雲水峡では道なき道を登ったりします。観光客が沢山居た以前なら前の人について行けば何とかなるかもですが、今は人が少ないです
ガイドさんが居なければ、長い距離に不安になるでしょうし、最悪外迷う可能性もあると思います
またガイドさんが居た事で、縄文杉や白谷雲水峡までの観光スポットを沢山見れました。居なければ気づかなかった思います
今回縄文杉のガイドさんは明るく背の高いダンディーなミノダさん。話が楽しかったです。
白谷雲水峡のガイドさんは博識で写真を撮るのが上手なニイムラさん。
※何枚か妻と2人の写真を撮影して頂きまし
たが、アングルが素晴らしかったです。
私達夫婦へ8月末に結婚式を挙げました。
新婚旅行は悩みましたが、コロナ下で人が多そうな観光地は行けなかった為、屋久島を選びました。
その選択は間違いでは無かったと今も思います。
またいつか行きたいです
ありがとうございました。
※余談ですが登山ストックはあるとかなり楽になります。登山初心者なら買うなりレンタルする事をお勧めします。

The Jomon Sugi was harder than I imagined, but I really enjoyed it, especially with the differences in explanations from the guide during the ascent and descent. I felt that if I touched on everything during the climb, I wouldn't have made it to the end, which seemed well thought out. Since it was mountain climbing, I was worried about being forced into a sense of unity or a study-like experience filled with explanations, so I appreciated the trekking style where I could observe the mountain in my own way and ask questions if I had any. The guide was very responsive to any inquiries, which was a great help. I also felt reassured by the calm words offered to those who had hurt their feet, which were not driven by emotion or momentum. I just wish Jomon Sugi were a bit closer! It was a very enjoyable time.
On the second day, I was a bit anxious about the difficulty of the Jomon Sugi trek, but we had a different guide for the Shiratani Unsuikyo, who took into account the previous day's trekking for pacing, breaks along the way, and optimal spots for photos, paying attention to even the smallest details. The guiding content during the trek was interesting, and the little behind-the-scenes stories were very entertaining, making for a fun day where I didn't feel too fatigued.
Both guides had different styles, but they were both wonderful, and my companion and I had such fulfilling two days that we both want to come back to Yakushima. Thank you very much.
想像以上にハードな縄文杉でしたが笑、登りと下りでガイドさんが触れる説明の違いもあり、とても楽しめました。登りで全てに触れていると最後まで持たなかったように思い、考えられていると感じました。山登りということで、変に一体感や和気藹々を求められたり、体験学習のような説明だらけのお勉強になったりするのは嫌だなと思っていたので、自分なりに山を見て、質問があれば聞くというスタイル、そして聞けばなんでも答えてくれるガイドさんがいるトレッキングはとてもありがたかったです。途中、足を痛めた方への言葉なども、感情や勢いに任せない冷静なものでとても頼もしく感じました。後は縄文杉がもっと近ければと思いますが笑 とても楽しい時間でした。
また、1日目の縄文杉のハードさからやや不安に思っていましたが、2日目の白谷雲水峡はまた別のガイドさんで、こちらの方も前日のトレッキングを踏まえた上でのペース配分や道中での休憩、ベストな位置での写真撮影等細やかなところまで気遣っていただきました。また道中でのガイド内容は勿論、ちょっとした裏話もとても面白く、疲労をあまり感じない楽しい1日になりました。
お二人ともタイプは違いますがどちらも素敵なガイドさんで、私も連れも、また屋久島に来たいと思うほど非常に充実した二日間を過ごさせていただきました。
ありがとうございました。

I participated in this trip alone. The guide took videos and photos that I couldn't capture on my own, and shared unique stories about the photo spots, making it an unforgettable journey. Thank you very much.
Since it was a tour, it couldn't be helped, but the schedule ran about an hour late, which made us rush during lunchtime and while buying souvenirs, and we ended up in a disappointing situation at the end. I was picked up at the airport's second parking lot, but on the way back, I was dropped off in front of the airport, which meant I had to walk unnecessarily to the second parking lot (it was about a two-minute walk, though). I thought I might be able to visit Shiratani Unsuikyo on my own next time.
Also, since it was the day after a physically demanding hike up Mount Kuju, I wondered if 9 AM would have been better... but I also thought that with a tour, we might have been able to reach Taiko Rock (the challenges of a tour). There are still many places in Yakushima that I haven't visited, so I would like to request another tour next time.
一人旅での参加でした。ガイドさんには、動画や、写真など一人旅では撮れないのを撮って頂き
写真ポイントなどツァーならではのお話もして頂き忘れられない旅となりました。ありがとうございました。
ツァーなので、しかたのないことなのですが、予定が一時間弱押してしまい、お昼の時間、お土産を買う時間、
レンタカー返却に追われ、最後残念な形になってしまい
ピックアップして頂だいたのは、空港第2駐車場だったのですが、帰りは空港前で降ろして頂き、無駄に第2駐車場まで歩きました。(徒歩二分くらいなんですけど)
白谷雲水峡は次は一人でもいけるかなとも思いました。
また、体力的にやくスギ登山の翌日だったのですが、
9時でもよかったかなと…でもツァーだと太鼓岩までいけるのかなとも…(ツァーの難しさ)
屋久島、まだまだ行けてないところもあるので
次回もお願いしたいと思っています。

As a trekking beginner, I was a bit worried, but thanks to the perfect guidance and pacing from our guide, I was able to fully enjoy both days. It was the longest walking distance of my life, and naturally, my feet hurt and I suffered from muscle pain, but I felt like I broke through my limits! The scenery of the forests in Yakushima was amazing, and it became an unforgettable two days.
Although we had different guides on the first and second days, both of them (Mr. Hidaka and Mr. Tsugimura) were knowledgeable, great at storytelling, and kind. They were very accommodating not only during the trekking but also in terms of transportation, listening to our various requests, which we greatly appreciated. Thank you once again, Mr. Hidaka and Mr. Tsugimura.
トレッキング初心者で少し心配していましたが、2日間ともガイドの方のパーフェクトなご案内とペース配分で味わい尽くせました。人生の中で最長の歩行距離で、流石に足は痛くなって筋肉痛にも苦しみましたが、自分の限界を突破できた感です!屋久島の森の景色は素晴らしくて、忘れることができない2日間になりました。
1日目と2日目でガイドの方は異なりましたが、お二方(日高さん、津曲さん)とも知識が豊富でお話上手かつ親切で、トレッキング中のみならず送迎の点でも色々私たちの我儘を聞いてくださって非常に有難かったです。日高さん、津曲さん、改めて有難うございました。
Dear Jun,
Thank you very much for participating in the trekking tour and for sharing your experience. Walking 22 km on the first day and 6 km on the second day, which are distances you may not usually cover, must have given you confidence, but you might have also felt a lack of stamina, right? I hope this experience encourages you to make physical activity a hobby beyond just mountain climbing, and I look forward to your challenge of Mount Miyanoura, the highest peak in Kyushu, next time.
Both Hidaka and Tsugimura are sincerely looking forward to seeing you again.

Given the limited time of just a day and a half on Yakushima, I thought carefully about how to make the most of my stay and chose this course. I had read in reviews that it was a tough course, but I didn't have time to prepare physically before the day. However, under the expert guidance of our guide, I truly had a fun and fulfilling time! I was so rejuvenated by nature that my fatigue just vanished. I am really grateful to our guide.
日程的に屋久島滞在は1日半しかできない中、どーやったら満喫できるかを考え、選んだコースでした。キツイコースだと口コミに書いてあったんですが、それに向けての体力づくりをする暇なく当日に。しかし、ガイドさんの絶妙なリードのもと本当に楽しく、充実した時間を過ごせました!!
疲れがふっとぶくらい、自然に癒されました。
ホントにガイドさんに感謝致します。
Dear Mayuki,
Thank you very much for participating in the trekking tour and for sharing your experience.
The most common itinerary for customers visiting Yakushima is a 2-night, 3-day trip, where the first and last days are travel days. Therefore, we created a course to walk Jomon Sugi and Shiratani Unsuikyo in one day in between. Ideally, it would be enjoyable if you had prepared your physical fitness and had some mountain climbing experience beforehand, but since this time was a spur-of-the-moment decision, it must have been tough. However, it seems like you had a fulfilling experience, which is great to hear.
Yakushima offers beautiful scenery throughout the four seasons, so we sincerely look forward to your next visit.

The mountain climbing itself was quite challenging for someone like me who primarily lives a telework-centered life, but it truly became an enjoyable trip. There were many experiences, such as breathtaking viewpoints and great photo spots, that one wouldn't notice without someone knowledgeable. Including the management of break times, I think beginners should take advantage of this.
It's a really good guide, but it seems that the number of guides has decreased due to the pandemic. I hope people will actively make use of this service.
登山自体はテレワーク中心生活のわたしにはとても大変でしたが、本当に楽しい旅になりました。
絶景ポイントや、いい写真の撮影スポットなど、詳しい人がいないと気付かない体験がたくさんありました。
休憩時間のコントロールなども含めて、考えることも少なくなるので、初心者ほど利用するべきだと思います。
本当にいいガイドさんなのにコロナ禍でガイドさんも減ってしまっているようです。
積極的に利用してほしいと思います。
Dear Gon,

I had never done serious mountain climbing before, so I spent a month building my stamina by walking for about an hour three times a week after work before taking on the challenge. However, after actually walking, I felt it was nowhere near enough! I thought I should have run for an hour and then walked for an hour, as Jomon Sugi was quite a climb.
For gear, I had knee supports, a trekking pole in one hand, gloves on both hands, and since it tends to rain as you climb, a hat would be a good idea! I definitely think hiking boots are necessary.
There are several water refill points, and the cold water I drank from my empty plastic bottle was delicious! The initial trolley path was just long and made me feel like giving up, but after that, climbing over rocks and logs was fun, and I was able to focus on the ascent! There were also fluffy monkeys around♪
The descent felt quick, and I was glad to see a Yakushima deer at the end! The guide was very knowledgeable and taught us a lot, and he took beautiful photos at key points!
For those attempting Jomon Sugi for the first time and feeling anxious, I recommend a private guide! If you don't move quickly, you might miss the bus after descending, so it seems they won't wait for slower people in a group.
On the second day, we climbed Shiratani Unsuikyo, but since it was after Jomon Sugi, the ascent was a breeze! We had plenty of time, so I took over 100 photos here♪ The guide actively took photos at shooting points, and we also took pictures while climbing, with plenty of breaks, so I think even beginners can manage this hike!
The view from Taiko Rock was amazing since it was sunny!! On the way back, I spotted a group of monkeys eating mushrooms, which was adorable♪
However, while the ascent was good, the return journey was quite challenging. The final stretch had continuous stairs, which put quite a strain on my knees. Since it was two consecutive days of climbing, my feet were sore after the first day, and I was worried about the second day. But after soaking in the bath and properly relaxing, and applying patches to my calves and feet before sleeping, I felt much better when I woke up!
Due to COVID-19, I booked a private guide for both days, and it turned out to be a great decision as I could hear various stories, and the guide kept an eye on our pace. I felt a sense of accomplishment having completed both Jomon Sugi and Shiratani Unsuikyo trekking, and it was a lot of fun♪
今まで本格的な山登りはしたことがなかったので体力作りに1ヶ月間、週3日ほど仕事帰りに約1時間歩いてから挑戦しましたが、実際歩いてみて全然足りなかったと思いました!1時間走ってから1時間歩くぐらいしておくべきだったと思うほど縄文杉はなかなかの登山でした。
装備は膝にサポーター、片手にストック、両手に軍手、登るにつれて雨が降りやすくなるので帽子があれば良い感じです!靴は絶対に登山靴が必要だと思いました。
給水ポイントがいくつかあるので空のペットボトルに汲んで飲んだお水が冷たくて美味しかったです!
最初のトロッコ道がただただ長くて挫折しそうになりましたが、その後石や木を登るのは楽しくて集中して登れました!毛がふさふさのサルもいました♪
下りは気分的にあっという間で、最後にヤクシカが現れたので見れて良かったです!
ガイドさんがとても知識が豊富で色々教えてくれたり、要所要所でキレイに写真を撮ってくれました!
初めて縄文杉にチャレンジする人で心配な人はプライベートガイドがオススメです!
サクサク進まないと下山後のバスに乗れないので団体だと遅い人を待ってはもらえないみたいです。
2日目は白谷雲水峡に登りましたが、縄文杉の後だったので登りは全然余裕でした!
時間的にも余裕があったのでここでは写真を100枚以上撮りました♪
ガイドさんが率先して撮影ポイントで撮影してくれ、自分達でも登りながら撮り、休憩回数も多かったのでこちらは登山初心者でも大丈夫だと思いました!
晴れていたので太鼓岩からの景色も最高でした!!
帰り道サルの団体を発見し、キノコを食べてるのが可愛かったです♪
ところが、登りは良かったですが帰り道がなかなか大変でした。ラストスパートは階段が連続していたので膝に負担が結構きます。
2日連続の登山だったので、1日目終了後は足の裏が痛くて2日目が心配でしたが、お風呂でしっかりとほぐしふくらはぎと足の裏に湿布を貼って寝たら起きた時にはだいぶ回復していました!
今回はコロナ化だったのもあり2日ともプライベートガイドを申し込みしましたが、結果色々な話を聞くことができ、ペースも見ていてくれたのでそうして良かったです!
縄文杉と白谷雲水峡トラッキング、両方登りきれたので達成感もありとても楽しかったです♪

I was unsure whether to go alone, but I'm glad I signed up for the tour! I thought the pace might be too fast, but in the end, it was perfect! I don't think we could have done this on our own...
It seems we happened to choose a week with bad weather, and it rained heavily, but on the contrary, I think we saw some views that we wouldn't normally see.
Our guide, Taiyo, was a really nice person! It was amazing how he seemed to know when it was going to rain; he opened his umbrella just before the rain started. Incredible.
At the photo spots, he made sure to take beautiful pictures for us! I had trekking poles prepared, but I didn't end up using them. I didn't have an umbrella, but I was told to bring one during a phone call the day before, so I bought one at the supermarket. I'm glad I did.
Yakushima is a place I've always wanted to visit at least once in my life. I can say that I want to go back again, not just once.
個人で行くか悩んだけど、ツアー申し込みしてよかったです!
ペース配分も早い?と思いましたが結果すごくベストだったと思います!自分たちだけではこうは行かなかったと…
たまたま天気が良くない週だったらしく、雨も凄かったですが、逆に普段見られないような景色だったと思います。

To be honest, the Jomon Sugi course can be walked without a guide, but it can be mentally challenging if you don't know how to pace yourself, and you won't be able to handle any injuries that may occur. Additionally, there are recommended spots that you might miss, so it was a good decision to book a guided tour.

それ以外にもお勧めスポットも見逃してしまう事がありますので、ガイド付をお申し込みされて良かったのではないでしょうか。

On the first day of the Jomon Sugi hike, thanks to the guide's consideration, we smoothly boarded the hiking bus and were able to start our ascent almost first. This allowed us to enjoy the nature in a nearly private setting. The guide's explanations were clear, and they shared various stories with us. At each photo spot, they took pictures for us, creating wonderful memories.
The second day at Shiratani Unsuikyo also started early, so it was almost like a private experience.
It was a very valuable two days. Thank you!
1日目の縄文杉登山では、ガイドさんのお気遣いもあり、登山バスの乗車もスムーズに済み、ほぼ一番手で登り始めることができたので、貸切状態の自然を楽しむことができました。
ガイドさんの説明も分かりやすく、いろいろなお話をしていただきました。撮影スポットでは毎回写真を撮ってくださり、とても良い思い出になりました。
2日目の白谷雲水峡も早朝スタートだったためほぼ貸し切りでした。
とても貴重な体験をできた二日間でした。

It was tough with the early morning departure and harsh weather, but the beautiful scenery and the attentive guide made it really worthwhile. I recommend the early morning departure as there are fewer people!
早朝出発and過酷な天気で大変でしたが、綺麗な景色and丁寧なガイドさんで本当によかったです^_^
早朝出発だと人が少なくてお勧めです!

Dear No-n,
Thank you very much for participating in the trekking tour and for sharing your experience. Yakushima is known as a sacred place for solo travelers, but yesterday felt like a "team" experience that made it hard to believe you were traveling alone.
I have guided this course hundreds, if not thousands, of times, and depending on the participants, there are days when I can guide easily and days when it can be challenging. However, yesterday was a day where I could guide with ease.
You mentioned that your solo journey continues, so please enjoy the rest of your travels. We sincerely look forward to your next visit to the island.

この度は、トレッキングツアーにご参加頂き、そして体験談に投稿頂き、誠にありがとうございました。
屋久島は一人旅の聖地と呼ばれておりますが、昨日は一人旅を感じさせない一体感のある「チーム」のような感じて歩きましたね。
私もガイドするコースは何百回、何千回歩いていますが、参加されるお客様によって楽に案内出来る時もあれば苦労して案内する事もありますが、
昨日は楽に案内出来た日でした。
まだ一人旅が続くと仰っていましたので、楽しんで旅を続けて下さいね。
またのご来島を心よりお待ちしております。
