Kyoto Private Taxi Tour with Customizable Itinerary & English-Speaking Guide

Great time in Kyoto

Reviewed by: Stergefs

We booked an 8h tour for the 16. November and were very happy with it.

Thanks to the car, we could explore much more sites than otherwise possible when using public transportation or walking. Our guide was very knowledgeable and adjusted the tour to our preferences. We recommend!

白谷雲水峡（太鼓岩まで）トレッキングツアー 5:00または8:00スタートの2つの開始時間から選択可能 by 屋久島の輪

A green world spread out before me. 緑の世界が広がっていました

Reviewed by: Butterfly

I joined this tour because I wanted to see the world of Princess Mononoke. Personally, I preferred the path to Shiratani Unsuikyo over the journey to Jomon Sugi. The guide was kind and very helpful, which I appreciated. However, I wish I could have heard a bit more about Yakushima. Thanks to the rain the day before, the moss was beautifully wet. Since there were other participants, I actually wanted to stay longer and take in the forest, but it was a shame that I couldn't stay that long. We went to Taiko Rock, and luckily the view that day was very good. Overall, I was satisfied with this tour. If you want to take more photos and have a more leisurely trip, I think a private guide would be better.

もののけ姫の世界が見たくて、このツアーに参加しました。個人的には縄文杉までの道のりよりも、白谷雲水峡までの方が好きでした。ガイドの方も優しくたくさんお世話してくださり助かりました。ただ、もう少し屋久島の話が聞けるとよかったかなと思います。前日の雨のおかげで、苔が雨に濡れてとても綺麗でした。他の参加者の方もいたため、本当はもっとじっくりその場に留まって森を見ていたかったのですが、そこまで滞在ができなかったのが残念です。太鼓岩まで行きましたがその日は運良く眺めもとてもよく、全体を通してこのツアーには満足です。もっと写真をとったり、じっくりゆっくりする旅がよければ、プライベートガイドが良いかなと思いました。

縄文杉と白谷雲水峡（苔むす森 & 太鼓岩）2日間トレッキングツアー by 屋久島の輪

Fully enjoying nature. 自然を大満喫

Reviewed by: kodama

I participated with my husband. Neither of us usually goes trekking, so we had some concerns, but we managed to get through the two days. We chose a tour for peace of mind. We thought we wouldn't be able to decide whether to continue or turn back in bad weather. As a result, the first day was sunny, and the second day had light rain, but I was glad we had a guide for the Taiko Rock course on the second day, as the route was quite complicated. We were able to take beautiful photos at the photo spots, and we heard various stories along the way. It was a tour that exceeded our expectations for peace of mind.

旦那さんと参加しました。2人とも普段はトレッキングしないので、少し不安な部分もありましたが、２日間なんとか乗り切ることが出来ました。ツアーにしたのは、安心料でした。天候が悪いとき、奥に進むのか？引き返すのか？自分たちでは判断出来ないと考えました。結果、１日目は晴天、２日目は小雨でしたが、２日目の太鼓岩コースは結構道順が複雑でガイドさんを付けて良かったと思いました。写真スポットでは綺麗な写真を取っていただけ、道中に色々とお話を聞かせていただけ、安心料以上の満足するツアーでした。

縄文杉半日＋白谷雲水峡半日（太鼓岩まで） 2大トレッキングコースを日帰りで！ by 屋久島の輪

A tough course that even the guide dislikes (laughs). ガイドも嫌がる過酷コース(笑)

Reviewed by: princessayu

The rain started unexpectedly. The weather forecast doesn't hold true in Yakushima. The moss and trees, wet from the rain, looked vibrant and beautiful. There was some mist, which created a fantastic atmosphere. I couldn't see Taiko Rock because it was dangerous due to the slippery conditions from the rain. The guides I passed all said, "It's tough!" and I really started to worry if I could make it to the end, but I pushed through. My knees, back, and hips are all sore, and I don't even know how to care for them. It might not be suitable for those who want to take photos slowly.

予報外れの雨スタート。屋久島では天気予報は当たりません。雨に濡れた苔や木々は生き生きしててキレイでした。霧やら出てきてましたけど、幻想的な雰囲気で素敵でした。太鼓岩は雨で滑ると危険だからと見られずΣ(ノд<)すれ違うガイドさんみんなから「大変だ～」って言われるくらい過酷なコースで、本当に最後まで歩ききれるのか不安になりましたが、やりきりました～。膝やら腰やら股関節やら痛いところだらけで、どうケアしたらいいかわからないくらい。写真ゆっくりとりたい方には不向きかもしれません。

Private Mt. Fuji Tour from Tokyo with Arakura Sengen Shrine & Fuji Five Lakes

Fujitastic!

Reviewed by: DazzS

We had a wonderful day out with our driver, Tuk and our local guide, Yuko. We saw a quick film of Fuji and the information centre then went to fifth station to visit the shrine and to admire a closer view of Mount Fuji and the surrounding areas. We then visited a local restaurant for delicious noodles and sake. We then continued to Arakurayama Sengen Park to take photos of Mount Fuji with the Pagoda and continued to enjoy the local markets and stalls and the Autumn Leaves Festival at Kawaguchiko. We were able to take phots of Mount Fuji from a variety of different locations and our day was well paced as we have young children (3, 6 and 11 years).
Our day was pleasant as our guide and driver were very knowledgeable, polite, friendly and accommodated our preferences. Highly recommend this tour if you like your own space and you’re travelling in a small group.

Thank you, Mr. Shimozono. 下園さん、ありがとうございました

Reviewed by: ららあすん。

I participated with two friends. The weather forecast was wrong, and it poured rain from the morning without stopping, so we couldn't go to Taiko Rock due to safety concerns, and I have almost no photos from Shiratani Unsuikyo. However, I don't think I'll ever walk on such a dark, rainy mountain path again, so it was a good experience.

I'm a notorious rain person, but our guide, Mr. Shimozono from the roadside station, made it fun by joking around, and we walked for nearly 12 hours happily. Mr. Shimozono is a native of Yakushima and has witnessed the changes on the island, so it was enjoyable to ask him questions and hear his stories.

For lunch, he even boiled water and served us miso soup! Even after the rain stopped, it was still foggy and cold, so it really warmed us up. Mr. Shimozono walked without wearing rain gear and just held an umbrella, yet he didn't get wet at all, and hardly got caught on branches... it was amazing!

I highly recommend walking for 12 hours with Mr. Shimozono!

友人と3人で参加しました。
天気予報が外れて朝から土砂降りで、しかも全然止まなくて、危険だということで太鼓岩には行くことが出来ず、白谷雲水峡はほぼ写真がないです。
でもこんな真っ暗闇で土砂降りな山道を歩くこともきっとないと思うので、いい経験でした。
わたしはすごい雨女なのですが、ガイドの道の駅観光の下園さんも色々いじってくれたので、12時間近く楽しく歩けました。
下園さんは生粋の屋久島の方だそうで、屋久島の移り変わりを見てきた方なので、色々質問すると話してくださって楽しかったです。
お昼はお湯をわかしてお味噌汁も出してくださいました！
雨は止んでも霧がすごくて寒かったので、とても身体に染みました。
下園さんは、レインウェアを着用せず、ずっと傘をさして歩いてましたが、全然濡れてないし、枝にもほとんど引っかかってませんでした・・・スゴすぎる！！
ぜひ下園さんとともに、12時間歩いて見てください！！

Kyoto Private Taxi Tour with Customizable Itinerary & English-Speaking Guide

Best experience ever! The only way to do Kyoto, esp if you are in a group

Reviewed by: mmmdream

Due to physical limitations, my parents can no longer walk far without balance or pain problems, so we needed personal transportation to take us around at our own pace. Based on a very sour experience in Tokyo in all aspects of customer service & complete disrespect/unprofessionalism/lack of manners+courtesy w/respect to accessible needs (yes, I was taken aback but city freneticism & savageness has taken over the city & it's not good!), we had zero expectations when we arrived in Kyoto.
BUT....what we got was a complete 5 star experience from Yuka. Not only did she communicate in perfect English (no where to be found in our "top" hotels in Tokyo that cost an arm+leg), she planned the trip around all my parents' needs with much care & thoughtfulness, went above & beyond her duty to help w/pushing the wheelchair & always attentive to shield my parents' from the pouring rain with her umbrella, staying a bit over allotted time to allow my parents to slowly finish their meals w/o rush, all the time being the most pleasant & entertaining host & safe driver! Mind you, she is not certified as a tour guide (she has the driver's license) and yet she puts both of the other licensed Tokyo tour guides to shame. She single-handedly salvaged this 9-day trip from being a complete rotten disaster! She was so amazing that my dad considered adopting her on the spot! Anyway, thank you Yuka - you have no idea what good you have done. I wish you only the best returns & if we ever come back, we will request you & only you! Please take care of yourself until then <3

Tokyo Private 1-Day Tour from Yokohama Port or Hotel with Customizable Itinerary

Wonderful day with Ken Takahashi in Tokyo

Reviewed by: Ron Atkinson

On the day after Tokyo's massive typhoon and large earthquake, Ken Takahashi met us at the Yokohama port to provide the day tour in Tokyo we had reserved, originally planned the day earlier. Ken took us to all the places we wanted to see, with a few of them off the regular tourist path, with Tuck, our driver. We were so pleased to see the usual places tourists want to see, as well as take us to a bamboo forest. My wife also wanted to find an artisanal fan, and Ken found an excellent shop with wide choices with a 5th generation owner, and he helped her purchase one with a stand. Ken also took us to a tea ceremony, and then a tempura lunch, the best tempura we've ever eaten. He has an excellent knowledge of history and of the city, and with his experience, and our interests, he curated an active and meaningful 8-hour day. After the day, he created an edited video of our day (taken with his Go-Pro camera) and promptly sent it to us along with a journal of the day. One of the things we found most thoughtful was the coordination of Tuck's dropping us off close to the places we wanted to see, and then magically Tuck picked us up at a very close location, to maximize our valuable time that day. Wonderful day with Ken, and proactive communication with Veltra (Taiji) when we all realized that the typhoon was going to hit Tokyo on exactly the day we had planned our tour. We were so grateful that our tour could be pushed back one day.

縄文杉日帰りトレッキングツアー　屋久島で唯一環境省のエコツーリズム研修を受講認定済み by 屋久島の輪

Healed by the great nature of Jomon no Mori (Jomon Forest) :) 縄文の森の大自然に癒されて(^^)

Reviewed by: Starrysky

I was blessed with great weather and a wonderful team, allowing me to enjoy a challenging 10-hour trek. The veteran guide skillfully managed the pace and timing, so there were no delays from queues at photo spots or waiting for restrooms, which allowed us to take our time at Wilson's stump and Jomon Sugi. On the return trip along the trolley path, I also encountered Yakushima monkeys and Yakushima deer, creating wonderful memories. The recommended sightseeing spots introduced by the guide for the following day were also excellent, and I thoroughly enjoyed the great nature of Yakushima for the second time in two years.

天候にもチームにも恵まれ、10時間のハードなトレッキングを楽しめました。ベテランガイドさんがペース配分や時間をうまく誘導して下さり、写真スポットでの行列やトイレ待ちなどのロスもなく、おかげでウィルソン株や縄文杉ではゆっくりすることができました。帰りのトロッコ道で屋久猿・屋久鹿にも出会え、すばらしい思い出になりました。ガイドさんに紹介していただいた翌日のおすすめ観光スポットもとても良く、二年ぶり二回目の屋久島の大自然を堪能しました

The setting of Princess Mononoke. もののけ姫の舞台

Reviewed by: はればれ

I wanted to visit not only the Shiratani Unsuikyo, which is said to be the setting for Princess Mononoke, and the moss-covered forest, but also Taiko Rock! I searched for various tours and ended up booking this one, which takes you to Taiko Rock at a reasonable price. The guide was a seasoned veteran with extensive knowledge, sharing enjoyable and thought-provoking stories about life. They also shared various snacks and garlic, which gave us a boost of energy—thank you! This tour offers an early morning option, and we chose that. There were few climbers, allowing us to take our time and enjoy taking photos on our way to Taiko Rock. The moss-covered forest was mystical, and the morning light created a fantastical atmosphere that was captivating. And then, Taiko Rock! There were steep slopes along the way, and combined with the muscle soreness from the previous day, it was tough, but reaching the top was breathtaking! According to the guide, the views are better in the early morning. Indeed, the early bird catches the worm!

もののけ姫の舞台となったと言われている白谷雲水峽、苔むす森だけでなくどうせなら太鼓岩も行きたい！といろいろなツアーを探しましたが太鼓岩まで行けてお値打ちなこのツアーを申し込みました。 ガイドさんもガイド歴が長い大ベテランさんで知識も豊富(楽しくそして人生も考える深い話でよかったです)、そしてお菓子やニンニクなどいろいろ食べ物(パワーでましたありがとうございます)も分けてくださいました。 こちらのツアー、早朝コースもあり私たちは早朝コースを選択しましたが、登山客が少なくゆっくりと写真をとりながら太鼓岩を目指すことができました。 苔むす森、神秘的で朝の光が幻想的な雰囲気をかもし出し魅力的でした。 そして、太鼓岩!道中急な坂があり前日の筋肉痛と重なり大変でしたが登りきり絶景でした！ ガイドさん曰く、早朝の方が眺めがいい確率が高いとのこと。まさに早起きは三文の徳ですね!

It feels like I've walked all the way! 歩ききった感が！

Reviewed by: 旅人A

On my first visit to Yakushima, there were so many places I wanted to see. I wondered if I could walk for 11 hours, but the sense of accomplishment when I completed the ambitious course was indescribable. Of course, Jomon Sugi was amazing, but even the scenery along the way was wonderful. I walked at quite a pace, and although my stay was short, I think it's great for those who want to see a lot in a limited time. However, it can be quite tiring. I don't think it's suitable for those who want to take their time, but since I wanted to be efficient, I thought it was a good tour.

初めての屋久島で沢山見たいところがありました。11時間も歩けるかな？と思いながらも欲張りコースを歩ききった時の達成感はなんとも言えません。縄文杉なども勿論素晴らしかったですが、ただ歩いているその辺の景色も素晴らしい。結構なペースで歩きましたが、滞在時間が少な行けど、あれもこれも行きたい人には良いかなと思います。ただそこそこしんどいと思います。ゆっくりまわりたい人には向かないと思いますが、私は効率よく回りたかったので良いツアーだったと思います。

It's physically challenging, but I'm very satisfied with the course. 体力的にはキツイけど大満足のコース

Reviewed by: EBISEN58

I participated with a friend. It was a clear day in late August, and the temperature was high. Besides us, there was only one young student couple around 20 years old, making it a small group.

We gathered before dawn and entered the mountains from Shiratani Unsuikyo, then after seeing Taiko Rock, we headed to the Jomon Sugi course, which required over 12 hours of hiking.

As a 30-year-old office worker who doesn't exercise much, it was quite tough, but I managed to keep up with the group and completed the hike. The limited time for the return bus made the descent particularly challenging as we had to move quickly. The next day, as expected, I was hit with severe muscle pain, which made the innkeeper laugh out loud.

Our guide was a man over 70, and it was impressive how smoothly he climbed. He was a bit quiet and didn't provide many explanations, but his experience was evident, and I felt secure following him.

There were moments when the rain intensified (which I believe is normal for Yakushima hiking), but overall the weather was good, and I had a great time. If I have the opportunity, I would like to try an overnight course next time.

友人と２人で参加しました。８月下旬のよく晴れた日で、気温も高かったです。我々の他には、20歳前後の若い学生カップルが１組いるのみで、少人数のグループでした。
朝は真っ暗なうちから集合し、白谷雲水峡から入山して、太鼓岩を見たら縄文杉コースへ、という流れで、12時間以上の登山が必要です。
30歳の特に運動もしていないオフィスワーカーにはなかなかきつかったですが、グループの足を引っ張ることもなく、何とか歩ききることができました。
帰りのバスの時間が限られているので、特に下山する時のペースが速かったのがきつかったです。翌日は予想通り激しい筋肉痛になって民宿のおっちゃんに爆笑されました。
ガイドさんは70歳超えの男性でしたが、スイスイと登っていくのがすごかったです。無口な方なのか、あまり多くの解説はありませんでしたが、ベテラン感がすごく、安心して着いていくことができました。
途中雨が強くなるなどしましたが（屋久島登山では普通のことと思いますが）、全体的に天気もよく、とても楽しめました。機会があれば今度は泊まりコースに挑戦してみたいです。

Reviewed by: yuu

I participated in this tour on the day of heavy rain, May 18. Fortunately, we were able to reach Jomon Sugi, but on the way back, there were places where the road had collapsed due to rising water. While other hikers were turning back, our guide proceeded without hesitation through the waterfall-like path, leading us forward. By the time we returned to the hiking trail, the water had risen to knee level in some areas. Just when we thought we could relax after getting back to the trail and boarding the bus, we found ourselves blocked by a fallen tree, preventing the bus from moving forward. In that situation, our guide took the initiative to go outside and cut the fallen tree with a saw. When we had to spend the night on the bus, the guide went out in the heavy rain to find a way back and called for help. Throughout the return from Jomon Sugi, the guide supported not only us but everyone else, continuously moving without rest. Their decisiveness and ability to take action were remarkable. Thanks to them, I was able to follow along with peace of mind. If it weren't for our guide... I am truly filled with gratitude. Thank you very much. Next time, I want to take on the Shiratani Unsuikyo challenge again.

このツアーに参加させていただいたのは、5月18日の豪雨の日でした。
ラッキーなことに縄文杉までは行くことができましたが、帰りは増水により道が決壊している場所もありました。他の登山者が引き返してくる中ガイドさんは何の躊躇もなく滝のようになった道を突き進み先導してくれました。登山道まで戻ってくる頃には膝上まで水が上がってきているところもありました。登山道まで戻ってきてバスに乗り込んでホッとしたのもつかの間。倒れた大木で道を塞がれてしまいバスが前に進めない状況。そんな中ガイドさんは率先して外に出てくれ、倒れた大木をノコギリで切ってくれました。またバスの中で一夜を過ごすことになった時も、ガイドさんが豪雨の中外に出
てくれて帰れる道を探してくれたり、助けを呼びに行ってくれました。縄文杉の帰りから私たちだけではなく、他の皆のこともサポートしてくれ、休むことなくずっと動いてくれていました。決断力と行動力が素晴らしい方でした。おかげで安心してついていくことができました。ガイドさんがいなかったら…。本当に感謝の気持ちでいっぱいです。ありがとうございました。
次回は白谷雲水峡をリベンジしたいです。

Greedy Course よくばりコース

Reviewed by: はむりん

I went to Yakushima for a 2-night, 3-day trip. Since I only had a full day for trekking, I chose a greedy course that allowed me to visit both Taiko Rock and Jomon Sugi. (laughs)

I participated with a friend, and the guide took photos for us at the photo spots, so we didn't need a selfie stick! Even as a beginner, I managed to reach the top. However, there was a huge difference in fatigue afterward between my friend, who exercises regularly, and me, who doesn't exercise at all. So, those who don't usually work out should be prepared before participating. My legs felt like sticks for about three days after the climb. (laughs)

Both Taiko Rock and Jomon Sugi offered breathtaking views. Since it rained on and off, a raincoat is essential. If you don't have trekking shoes, it's better to borrow some. The shoes I borrowed didn't let any water in, even when walking through some muddy areas!

2泊3日で屋久島へ行きました。トレッキング時間も丸1日しか取れなかったので、太鼓岩と縄文杉どちらも行ける欲張りコースを選びました。笑
友達と二人で参加したのですが、ガイドさんが写真スポットに到着すると写真を撮ってくださるのでセルカ棒いらずでした！
初心者の私でもなんとか登り切ることができました。ただ、普段運動している友達と全く運動していない私とでは終わった後の疲労感にとてつもなく差があったので、やはり普段から運動していない方は覚悟を持って参加した方がいいです。私は登った当日から3日くらいは足が棒のようになりました。笑

太鼓岩も縄文杉も絶景でした。
雨が降ったり止んだり繰り返すのでカッパは必須です。トレッキングシューズがない方は借りたほうがいいです。私が借りたシューズは多少のぬかるみを歩いても全く浸水しませんでした！

縄文杉半日＋白谷雲水峡半日（太鼓岩まで） 2大トレッキングコースを日帰りで！ by 屋久島の輪

A sense of accomplishment! 達成感！

Reviewed by: まいこ

We set off early in the morning for a challenging itinerary, and I approached it with determination. Thanks to the favorable weather and the lively stories from our guide, Mr. Taniyama, we were able to visit all the points of interest. As mentioned earlier, this course is by no means easy. However, you can undoubtedly experience the grandeur of nature and the emotions that cannot be conveyed through photos!

As for equipment, there were no issues as long as I brought what was indicated in the guide. I rented shoes, and they were comfortable enough for the long journey without causing blisters, so I think renting is sufficient for those who don't have their own. You can arrange for breakfast and lunch bento boxes through the accommodation. There were also places to refill water along the way, so as long as you prepare your health well, you should be fine on the day!

早朝出発で行程もなかなかの本コース、覚悟をもって臨みましたがお天気に恵まれたこと、ガイドの谷山さんの軽快なお話のおかげで全てのポイントを回ることができました。前述した通り、このコースは決して楽なものではありません。しかしながら、間違いなく写真では伝わらない自然の雄大さと感動を味わうことができます！
装備等は案内にある通りに持って行けば問題ありませんでした。私は靴をレンタルしましたが、長時間の行程でも履きやすく靴擦れもしなかったため、持っていない方はレンタルでも十分かと思います。朝昼のお弁当は、宿に頼んで取ってもらうことが可能です。水分は途中でなくなってしまっても水を汲める場所がありました。体調を万全に整えて、当日臨むことができれば大丈夫でしょう！

縄文杉と白谷雲水峡（苔むす森 & 太鼓岩）2日間トレッキングツアー by 屋久島の輪

The Yakusugi is nice, but... 屋久杉はいいけど…

Reviewed by: あんにゃーん

The walking pace was faster than I expected, and I didn't have time to put on my raincoat, so it was quite hard, and I thought I might get a muscle strain. I brought a lot of portable toilets, but there was limited time to use them. However, the scenery was really beautiful. I'm glad I got to see it at least once in my lifetime.

思っていたより歩くペースが速かったり、レインコートを着る時間もなかったりと、かなりハードで肉離れになるかと思いました。簡易トイレを大量に持っていきましたが、トイレに入る時間も限られていました。ただ、景色などはすごく良かったです。一生に一度は見たかったのでよかったです。

白谷雲水峡（太鼓岩まで）トレッキングツアー 5:00または8:00スタートの2つの開始時間から選択可能 by 屋久島の輪

I recommend it for the early morning. 早朝おすすめです。

I went to Taiko Rock.
Since it was my first time trekking, it was quite challenging.
For those who are aware of their lack of exercise, it seems that bringing trekking poles makes it easier.

Many people at Shiratani Unsuikyo go without a guide, but I often found myself wondering where to walk, so I think beginners should definitely hire a guide for peace of mind. You can also learn a lot from their stories.

Since it was early in the morning, there were few people passing by, and I could walk leisurely. On the way down, I started to encounter many people, so I got the impression that a lot of people start around 9 AM. I'm glad I left early, as I was able to enjoy Taiko Rock all to myself.

The guide was dressed lightly in a T-shirt and shorts, but I bumped my legs against rocks quite a bit, so I think wearing long pants or tights would have been better. Yakushima is full of rocks, so it can be quite painful. Since I was in the mountains, I probably didn't need a hat. Just wearing a hat made me feel quite hot, and I ended up taking it off at the end.

太鼓岩まで行きました。
トレッキングは初めてなので、けっこう大変でした。
運動不足を自覚している人は、ストックを持って行くと楽だそうです。

白谷雲水狭はガイドをつけてない人も多くいますが
どこを歩いたらいいの？と思うことが度々あったので
初心者はガイドを付けた方が安心です。お話も色々聞けて勉強になります。

早朝だったので、すれ違う人も少なくゆったりと歩けました。
下山の時には、たくさんの人とすれ違うようになったので
9時頃に出発の人が多いのかなーという印象です。
朝早く出たので、太鼓岩が独り占めできてよかったです。

ガイドさんはTシャツ半ズボンという軽装でしたが、私は足をあっちこっちに
ぶつけたので、長ズボンかタイツでよかったとおもいます。
屋久島は岩だらけなので、結構いたいです。
山の中だったので、帽子はいらなかったかな。帽子被るだけでけっこう暑く感じて、最後は脱いでいました。

The best day. 最高の一日

Reviewed by: まるこ

It was more enjoyable than I expected, and I had a fulfilling day blessed with good weather. I knew that fit individuals were participating in this course, so I was a bit nervous at the start. The initial pace was fast, and I worried about keeping up, but our guide managed the walking time and breaks well, allowing us to walk comfortably in the end.

We visited Shiratani Unsuikyo → Taiko Rock → Jomon Sugi in that order. Since we came to Yakushima with the goal of seeing Jomon Sugi, it was the perfect order for our group to see it last. Along the way, we received a lot of energy from the guide's stories, photo opportunities, and the power of nature, making it an exciting and thrilling 11-hour trek. The sense of accomplishment was incredible. I highly recommend this for anyone wanting to experience nature in a day. Thank you, guide Shinmura.

期待以上に楽しく、天気に恵まれ充実した一日でした。
このコースは健脚の方が参加しているとしり、初めはドキドキのスタートでした。
初めのペースが速く着いていけるかと途中心配もしましたが、ガイドさんが歩く時間、休憩と上手にとってもらい、結局は余裕をもって歩くことが出来ました。
今回は白谷雲水峡→太鼓岩→縄文杉の順で回りました。
縄文杉を目的に屋久島に来たので、最後に縄文杉は私たちグループにとっては最高の順番でした。
途中のガイドさんの話や、写真撮影、大自然のパワーをたくさんもらい、終始ウキウキ、ワクワクの１１時間のトレッキングでした。達成感も半端ないです。１日で大自然を感じたい方、お勧めです。ガイドの新村さんありがとうございました。

The guide was kind and made me feel at ease. ガイドさんが親切で安心できました。

Reviewed by: Miy

It was a two-day optional tour on Yakushima for the first time, and I had a great time. The guide provided detailed explanations and kindly handled the sudden typhoon, for which I am very grateful. They also took many photos, creating memories that will last a lifetime. If I have the chance to go to Yakushima again, I would like to request their services once more.

始めての屋久島で2日間のオプショナルツアーでしたが、とても楽しかったです☺️
ガイドさんには、詳しく案内をして頂き、急な台風にも親切に対応して頂き、感謝しております。写真も沢山撮って頂き、一生の想い出になりました。また屋久島に行くことがあればお願いしたいです✨
