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

Sense of accomplishment!!! 達成感！！！

Reviewed by: はる☆

I was a bit anxious the day before the full day of mountain climbing, but once we started, thanks to our guide Kodama's thorough explanations and appropriate breaks, everything went smoothly! Despite the unfortunate weather, we were able to visit Jomon Sugi and Taiko Rock, which became wonderful memories! I was very happy to take a lot of photos at the photo spots! The next day I had muscle soreness, so I really think it was good to do it all in one day!

丸一日の山登りということで前日は少し不安もありましたが、いざ始まってみるとガイドのこだまさんの丁寧な説明と適度な休憩でスムーズに進むことができました！！あいにくのお天気でしたが縄文杉も太鼓岩にも行くことができいい思い出になりました！写真スポットでたくさん写真をたくさん撮っていただけたのがとても嬉しかったです！翌日は筋肉痛になったのでやはり1日にまとめて良かったと思いました！

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

Very satisfied. 大満足

Reviewed by: ちあみ

I participated in a day trip to Jomon Sugi and a day trip to Shiratani Unsuikyo (Taiko Rock).

The guide was very kind and friendly, making it easy for me to join even though it was my first time trekking. Not only did they teach me a lot about Yakushima, but they also provided thoughtful snacks along the way, which I truly appreciated!

In early January, there were no other people around (I only encountered a total of 9 people), and I was able to spend time surrounded by nature, creating unforgettable memories. I highly recommend visiting Yakushima during the off-season!

縄文杉1日→白谷雲水峡1日(太鼓岩)に参加しました。

ガイドさんがとても優しく親切な方で
トレッキングがはじめてでも安心して参加できました。
屋久島のことをたくさん教えてくださるのはもちろんのこと
道中の軽食の気遣いなどもたくさんいただき、本当にありがたかったです!!

1月上旬で人が誰もいなくて(すれ違った人はなんと全部で9人)
自然だけに囲まれて過ごすことができ、忘れられない思い出になりました。
オフシーズンの屋久島、とってもお勧めです!!

It was good. 良かったです。

Reviewed by: pennpenn

On New Year's Day, we visited Jomon Sugi, and the following day, we went to Taiko Rock. Both days were blessed with sunny weather, and the guide's explanations were thorough and very easy to understand. I believe they were also very considerate of the participants' health and well-being.

Jomon Sugi:
Thanks to the guide's quick thinking, we were able to see the first sunrise from the bridge. Even though it was sunny, being January, the miso soup provided by the guide during lunch was a comforting warmth.

Taiko Rock:
The day before, there were three groups with seven people, but on this day, it was just our family, making it essentially a private tour. We were able to bond over topics other than trekking, and having the same guide for two consecutive days made the long journey feel quick.

If I have the opportunity to visit Yakushima again, I would definitely like to request the same guide. For example, I think it would be great if there was a guide selection system for repeat participants. Yakushima Tourist Station, please consider this!

元旦初日が縄文杉　翌日太鼓岩　でした。
両日ともに晴れの天気に恵まれ、ガイドさんの説明は丁寧でとても解り易く、ツアー参加者への体調等の配慮も充分だったと思います。

縄文杉：
ガイドさんの機転で橋から初日の出を見れました。晴れてはいても流石に１月なので、お昼のお弁当の時にガイドさんが提供してくださったお味噌汁はほっとする温かさでした。

太鼓岩：
前日は３グループ７名でしたが、この日は我が家だけで、実質プライベートツアーになりました。トレッキング以外の話題で盛り上がったりと、２日連続でガイドをしていただけると打ち解けて長い道のりもあっという間でした。

また屋久島にくる機会があったなら、是非同じガイドさんにお願いしたいです。例えば、２回目以降の参加者にはガイドさん指名システムがあったらいいなと思いますが、、。屋久島道の駅観光さん検討して下さい！

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

Oh Darn, It Rained

Reviewed by: Sara and Walt

We hoped to see Mt. Fuji, but, unfortunately, it rained the day of our booked tour and Mt. Fuji was not to be seen. But all was not lost. Our driver, Toshi, picked us up promptly at the scheduled time and drove us to the Mt. Fuji area. On the way he gave us information on local sites that we passed. Our guide, Yuko, was very knowledgeable and gave us options for our rainy day. Our driver and guide learned that we liked to hike so we went to a beautiful shrine at the base of Mt. Fuji and hiked on an ancient trail to the first station. A great way to experience Mt. Fuji on a rainy day. Yuko gave much information on local customs and the Shinto religion involving the mountain. We then had a leisurely lunch at a local restaurant. Following this, we chose to go to a museum featuring a world renowned textile artist who made kimono art. These were fabulous. It was then late in the day and we traveled back to Tokyo. A different experience than we hoped for due to the rain, but a memorable and enjoyable day thanks to Toshi and Yuko. We definitely recommend their services for guide and driver for the Mt. Fuji tour. They’re the best!

It was my first trekking experience as I turned 60. I got used to my trekking shoes and climbed Mount Daimonji, but I felt anxious. The guide appropriately guided me and the entire group while considering everyone's situation, allowing us to conquer both courses. Thank you very much! It was tough, but I am very satisfied. Next time, I want to lose a little more weight and improve my flexibility. I heard that a 92-year-old person completed it... I want to prepare well so I can enjoy it with my grandchild.

I was moved by the stunning view from Taiko Rock. 太鼓岩の絶景に感動

Reviewed by: ハイキングにハマりたて

My first long trek was a challenge, but I was able to enjoy it while being healed by the beauty of the forest. Since it was my long-awaited trip to Yakushima, it was a very good experience.

However, it's unfortunate that the experience can vary greatly depending on the guide, so I have to give it a ☆-1. The guide on the first day seemed very friendly when I spoke to him on the phone, but once we started walking, he didn't pay much attention to those behind him. We only took a proper break to sit down twice on the way to Jomon Sugi (once quite early on and once for a restroom break). Other guides seemed to stop and explain various things, but we were just passed by.

He mentioned that we would take photos on the way back, so I thought the explanations would happen then, but in the end, we didn't take time for either. Despite some people lagging behind and looking tired, there was hardly any advice given, and instead of caring for us, it felt like we were being rushed. As a beginner in trekking, I was unsure of what to do since I had requested a guide.

The guide on the second day was completely different; he provided a lot of explanations about the plants and advice on how to walk, which gave me a great sense of security. He also took many photos for us.

Of course, it's natural for each guide to have their own characteristics, and there must be a pace to maintain for completing the trek, so I understand that to some extent. However, I would have appreciated at least some explanations while moving without stopping. Since we can't choose our guides, I won't mention any names, but after reading other people's experiences, it seems like many had similar experiences with the same guide, so I guess it's just a matter of luck when signing up.

長時間のトレッキングは初挑戦でしたが、森の美しさに癒されながら楽しんで戻ってくることができました。
念願の屋久島だったのでとても良い経験でした。

ただ、ガイドさんによって随分感じが変わってしまうのが残念なので☆－１です。
１日目の方はお電話で話した際はとても気さくな印象でしたが、
いざ歩き出すとあまり後ろを気にしてくれず、縄文杉までの片道でしっかり座って休んだのは２回（１回はかなり序盤、１回はトイレ休憩）のみ。ほかのガイドさんは立ち止まっていろいろ説明してくれているようでしたが、スルーでした。
写真も帰りに撮りますとおっしゃっていたので、説明も帰りながらなのかなと思いましたが、結局どちらも時間を取ることなく。
疲れて遅れ気味の人がいるにも関わらずアドバイスもほとんどなく、ケアをしてくれるどころか急かすような感じで、登山素人だからガイドさんをお願いしているのにちょっとどうしていいかわからなかったです。
２日目のガイドさんは全く違って、植物の説明や歩き方のアドバイスなど沢山いただきましたし、遅れ気味の人をガイドさんのすぐ後ろにするなど非常に安心感がありました。写真も沢山撮ってくださいました。

もちろんガイドさんにそれぞれ特徴があるのは当然でしょうし、踏破するためのペース配分というものがあるのでしょうから仕方ないとは思いますが、せめて止まらずに進む説明などは欲しかったです。ガイドさんを選べないのでお名前は伏せますが、他の方の体験談も拝読すると同じ方なんだろうなーというのがいくつもありましたので、その辺りは運だと思って申し込むしかないんでしょう。

Thanks to our guide, we were able to successfully complete our two-day itinerary! ガイドさんのお陰で２日間の行程を無事に終えることができました！

Reviewed by: メンフィス

I participated with three friends from university. The weather was great both days, making it perfect for trekking.

On the first day’s trek to Jomon Sugi, after passing the long trolley path, I unfortunately cramped my left leg during the steep ascent, and I wondered if I would make it to Jomon Sugi. However, the guide provided me with a herbal remedy that is good for cramps, and somehow I managed to reach Jomon Sugi and return within the time limit! I am truly grateful. Also, the instant miso soup during lunch was warm and soothing for my tired body from the hike.

I really felt it was a good decision to join a guided tour. On the second day at Taiko Rock, I wondered if I could go due to the fatigue from the previous day, but after a good night’s sleep, I felt much better. It was certainly challenging, but I managed to complete the itinerary. I’m really glad I participated!

大学時代の友人達と３人で参加しました。
２日間とも非常にいい天気で、トレッキングには絶好の日和でした。
1日目の縄文杉トレッキングでは、長かったトロッコ道を過ぎ、キツイ登りに

I had heard that the weather in the mountains is different from that at the base, but it was clear all day!

I was very satisfied with all the photos the guide took for us.

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。

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。

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.

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!

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.

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.

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!

The driver was like a guide, and their explanations and guidance were excellent and efficient. They took many photos, and everyone was very happy. Thank you very much. I wish we had a bit more time; three hours wasn't enough, so I recommend five hours.

ガイドさんのような運転手さんで、説明も案内もてきぱきと素晴らしかったです。写真もたくさん撮って頂きみんな大喜びでした。有り難うございました。もう少し時間に余裕が有ったら良かったなと、3時間では足りませんので、5時間がお勧めですね。

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

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。
