Chartered Sightseeing Taxi in Okinawa Main Island

Una giornata fantastica!

Reviewed by: Marcello

Il taxi si è presentato davanti al nostro alloggio perfettamente puntuale: abbiamo concordato l'itinerario e, dopo aver letto le condizioni di trasporto, siamo partiti.
Abbiamo apprezzato la guida spedita (ci ha fatto risparmiare parecchi minuti).
Per comunicare il taxista ha utilizzato un traduttore vocale portatile, che si è dimostrato affidabile.
Se si è in tanti (noi in 9) il prezzo è davvero conveniente, anche considerando parcheggi ed autostrade, pagati da noi di volta in volta.
Attività e compagnia sicuramente da consigliare!

I walked a lot! めっちゃ歩いた!

Reviewed by: kpcn

It was exhausting, but it was really great! The view from Taiko Rock was absolutely stunning and the weather was perfect. The photos of the mossy forest are not from the brochure! Haha, the nature was incredible. Also, I was moved to see Deidara-bocchi on the Torokko path! However, I wondered if it depends on the guide. The guide mentioned that some people go slowly while others go fast.

しんどかったですが、とっても良かったです^ ^
太鼓岩はめっちゃくっちゃ晴れてて最高でした。苔むす森の写真はパンフレットからの引用ではないですよ!笑 自然がやばかったです。
あと、トロッコ道にデイダラボッチいて感動しました(๑°ㅁ°๑)‼✧
ただ、ガイドさんによるのかなぁと、思いました。ゆっくり行ってくれる人もいれば、速い人もいると、ガイドさん自身が言っていました。

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。

Reviewed by: だいこん

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。

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

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。

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.

The tour was full of highlights! It was amazing. ツアーの醍醐味満載!最高でした

Reviewed by: ちぇそ

I truly enjoyed the unique experiences that the tour offered over the two days, and I'm really glad I participated. While I think both places could be visited individually, the connections and encounters with others made it a wonderful experience that only a tour can provide.

Day 1: Jomon Sugi
With six tour members and our guide, it was not just about explanations; they also helped us bond as a group. The sense of unity and everyone's smiles at the finish line are unforgettable! I was delighted to have warm miso soup during lunch.

Day 2: Shiratani Unsuikyo
With four tour members and our guide, we had to return early due to the typhoon, but they adapted the schedule flexibly, which was truly impressive! Our guide not only led us but also acted as a photographer, capturing many wonderful photos and videos, which made the four of us girls very happy! We were able to enjoy the tour many times more thanks to our hospitable guide.

I am grateful for the wonderful encounters in Yakushima. I strongly recommend participation to anyone who is considering it. Thank you! ☺︎

2日間ともに、ツアーならではの楽しみを満喫できて、本当に参加してよかったです。どちらも個人でも行けなくはないと思いますが、人との出会い、繋がりができて、ツアーならではの楽しみかたができたので、素晴らしい経験になりました。

1日目の縄文杉:
ツアーメンバー6人とガイドさん。単なる説明だけでなく、メンバー同士も仲良くなれるよう盛り上げてくださいました。最後ゴールしたときの結束感、みんなの笑顔が忘れられません!お弁当の時あたたかいお味噌汁をいただいたのが嬉しかったです。
2日目白谷雲水峡:
ツアーメンバー4人とガイドさん。台風の影響で急遽はやく帰ることになり、時間など臨機応変に変更していただき、本当に神対応でした!ガイドさんとしてだけでなくカメラマンさんとして、素敵な写真、ムービーをたくさん撮ってくださり女子4人大喜びでした!ホスピタリティあふれるガイドさんと回ることができ、通常の何倍も楽しめました!

屋久島での素敵な出会いに感謝です。迷ってるかたは参加を強くオススメします。ありがとうございました!☺︎

Our guide, Yokota, shared interesting stories, and we learned about historical facts, making the two days fly by.

Shiratani Unsuikyo First Trekking 白谷雲水峡初トレッキング

Reviewed by: あおいとり

I requested a guide for the Shiratani Unsuikyo. Two housewives in their 50s, who are classmates, participated, and I challenged myself with trekking for the first time. It was very helpful that we took breaks at good times while taking photos along the way. The descent was tough as my knees started to hurt, but it was worth it to reach the mossy forest! The guide's explanations were easy to understand, and they took really great photos with excellent techniques. Thank you very much!

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

Perfect private tour of Mt. Fuji & Surrounding area

Reviewed by: MC from Canada

My family (3 adults, 2 children) had an incredible time during this tour which was individualized for us based on our requests and preferences. Our guide Takashi was extremely knowledgeable, spoke excellent English and taught us so much about not only Mt. Fuji but Japan and Japanese culture. Additionally, Takashi’s broad international knowledge and understanding provided an added perspective and important context on Japan’s place globally today. Our driver Toshi was also excellent and entertaining and because of his understanding of weather patterns on the mountain, we made 2 critical stops along the way that allowed us to see the peak despite some poor weather conditions overall. Takashi took us to an incredible restaurant for lunch, a meal that all of us enjoyed and none of us will forget. An incredible trip overall which was made even better by the connection we made with our guide Takashi. On a personal note, I left my phone in the vehicle and Takashi & Toshi ensured that it was returned to me the same evening! It was much appreciated! I would highly recommend this private tour and ask for Takashi!

The rain cleared up, and I went to Jomon Sugi under the long-awaited sunny weather. Along the way, the explanations from our guide, Yokota, were enjoyable, making the experience twice as fun. The next day, however, it rained again, and we couldn't go all the way, but we did manage to reach the Forest of Mononoke. The explanations from our guide, Shimozono, were also filled with various local information, which made it enjoyable. It was a good decision to stop early due to the rain.

The presence of the guide is truly important. ガイドさんの存在は本当に重要

Reviewed by: もののけ姫

On the first and second days, the guides were different people. To conclude, the guide on the second day was very good. The pacing, the way of using our legs, and the explanations about the plants and moss were all very thorough, making it easy to climb. On the other hand, the guide on the first day was also very kind and a good person, but due to the requests of a younger person in our group, we descended at a considerably fast pace, which was quite challenging for me, being older. They would wait for me, but would start walking again before I could catch up, so I couldn't rest at all and had to keep walking. I wanted to take more photos, but I had no time at all. Still, I think that without the guide, I wouldn't have known the highlights and it would have just been a "go there" experience, so I believe it was good to join the tour after all.

一日目と二日目でガイドさんが違う人でした。結論からいうと二日目のガイドさんがとてもよかったです。ペース配分、足の使い方、植物や苔の説明など非常に丁寧で、つらくなく登れました。一方、一日目のガイドさんも大変親切な方でしたし、良い方でしたが、一緒に登った若い人の要望で相当早いペースで降り、年齢的にかなり上のわたしには、ついていくのが大変でした。待ってはくれるのですが、追いつく前に歩き出すので、遅れる私はまったく休めず歩きどおしでした。もっと写真を撮りたかったのに、全然余裕がありませんでした。それでも、ガイドなしでは見どころもわからずに「行くだけ」になったと思うので、やはりツアーでよかったと思います。

You should definitely try it; you won't regret it! 絶対にトライして後悔ないです!

Reviewed by: ブー子

My first visit to Yakushima was for trekking and diving. I heard that it was the setting for "Princess Mononoke," which is one of my favorite Studio Ghibli films, so I decided to go.

I chose the moss-covered forest half-day course. The staff at the accommodation mentioned that we would arrive quickly, but as a trekking beginner, I thought it might be better to save Jomon Sugi for another time.

On the day of the trek, I received a call from the person in charge. I was excited and nervous since it was my first time, but the guide was wonderful. We talked about the course and shared casual conversations, creating a homely atmosphere, so I quickly felt comfortable. The guide was in his 70s, but he was a veteran who climbed swiftly! He provided detailed guidance, and I was glad I could keep up with him.

The reserved course was truly amazing, and I felt like I could climb it over and over again. There were huge cedar trees that rivaled Jomon Sugi, and the sound of the river was very soothing. The course was full of highlights until we reached the moss-covered forest, and I thoroughly enjoyed it! Thank you.

On the last day, I had a trekking reservation, and I wanted to make it to the ferry on time, so I asked to go to the souvenir center at a certain time. They kindly accommodated my request, which was a great help. Thank you. However, it might have been because I was the only one that day.

He was able to drive us to some nice places, as we even got to eat at a nice restaurant over the river that we wanted to enjoy. The van was very spacious, clean and comfortable as well.

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

I felt安心 with the veteran guide.✨ ベテランガイドさんで安心✨

Reviewed by: さりらん

The first day's Jomon Sugi day tour surprised me with how fast the guide's pace was, but in the end, I realized that without that pace, we wouldn't have made it back. There were various explanations along the way, and I had many fun discoveries, which made it enjoyable. The photo angles were amazing, and all the pictures taken were wonderful! Additionally, when my legs started to hurt midway, the guide taught me effective stretching techniques and helped me out.

On the second day, there was heavy rain and some restrictions, but based on the amount of rain and the river's water level, the experienced guide took us to the Mononoke Forest. In the morning, I was nervous thinking we might not be able to go, but since our group and another group really wanted to go there, the guide, hearing that, suggested that if we went slowly, the rain might lessen and we could cross the river. Thanks to their intuition and pacing, we were able to reach the long-desired Mononoke Forest (Mossy Forest).

I am filled with gratitude. Thank you very much!✨

初日の縄文杉日帰りツアーは、
ガイドさんのペースが早くて、びっくりしましたが、終わってみれば、あのペースで無ければ、帰ってこれないし、
でも、ところどころでいろんな説明があって、
楽しい発見もいっぱいで楽しかったです✨
また、さすがの写真アングルが素晴らしく、
撮っていただいた写真は素敵なものばかりでした✨
また、足が途中で痛くなった時にも、ストレッチの効果的なやり方を教えてくれたり、助けていただきました!

2日目は、大雨で規制もありましたが、
雨の量、川の水量などから、ベテランさんならではの経験値から、
もののけの森まで連れていっていただきました。
朝の時点では、行けないかも?とドキドキしてましたが、私達や一緒に参加したもう一組の子達も、そこに行きたいのが一番の願いだったから、
それを聞いてたガイドさんが、
ゆっくり行けば、雨が少なくなって、川も渡れるようになるかもと、ペースをゆっくりにしてくれたり、長年の勘から、ペース配分してくださったりしたおかげで、念願のもののけの森(苔むしの森)までたどり着く事ができました。

感謝の気持ちでいっぱいです。
ありがとうございました✨

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

I made wonderful memories. 素晴らしい思い出が出来ました

Reviewed by: みーつ

I participated in a one-day tour of Jomon Sugi and Shiratani Unsuikyo + Taiko Rock. I noticed that many people were traveling without a guide, which made me wonder if I could have done the same. However, I felt that it was better to have a guide at first. Those without a guide seemed to be focused solely on reaching their destination and were just walking without much thought. While I initially thought having a guide meant moving slowly, I realized that walking at a leisurely pace allowed for many discoveries and I learned a lot. Since people go to Yakushima seeking an extraordinary experience, I recommend taking deep breaths and enjoying the ancient forest as you walk.

縄文杉1日、白谷雲水峡➕太鼓岩1日のツアーに参加しました。
ガイド無しで旅行されてる方も多くいたので、自分もガイド無しでも良かったのかな?と道中思いましたが、やはり最初はガイド有りにすべきだろう、と感じました。
ガイド無しの方は目的地に行くことだけが目的となって只管歩いていた様に思えます。ガイド有るとゆっくりやなぁ、と思っていましたが、ゆっくり歩くことで色々な気づきがありましたし、沢山の事を教えて頂けました。
非日常を求めて屋久島に行くのでしょうから、何度も深呼吸して太古の森を感じながら歩く事をお勧めします。

白谷雲水峡半日(苔むす森まで)トレッキングツアー<宮之浦~安房エリア送迎可能> by 屋久島の輪

Shiratani Unsuikyo 白谷雲水峡

Reviewed by: まじょらん

I wasn't very confident in my physical strength, so I was looking for a course with a shorter distance. On the day of the event, it was just the two of us participating. The guide gave off a bit of a scary impression, but in reality, they were very kind, offering us snacks during breaks, providing detailed explanations about how much longer we had to go, and being attentive to our walking pace. We had a lot of fun participating. The scenery was amazing. There were some steep areas and slippery spots, so I think it would be tough in the rain. I participated in June during the rainy season, and while I was prepared for rain, it didn't rain, and it was just cloudy, which was really great.

体力にあまり自信が無かったので、なるべく距離の短いコースを探していました。
当日は、私たち2人だけでの参加でした。
ガイドさんは、ちょっと怖そうな感じの印象を持ったのですが、実際は、休憩の際に持参のお菓子をくれたり、後どれ位とか、説明も詳しくしてくれたり、歩くペースを気にしてくれたり、とても楽しく参加出来ました。
景色は最高でした。
アップダウンの激しい所があったり、滑りやすい場所があったので、雨降りの時は厳しいと思います。
6月の参加で梅雨時、雨は覚悟していたのですが、雨は降らず、曇り空だったので本当に良かったです。

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

Yakusugi is the best. 屋久杉最高

Reviewed by: yas

The Jomon Sugi trek is long and challenging, but the guide's support was excellent, and it was really great. The second day's Shiratani Unsuikyo was canceled due to heavy rain and rising water levels, but the refund process was very smooth, and I am satisfied.

縄文杉は工程は長く辛いですが、ガイドさんの対応もとてもよく、スゴくよかったです
2日目の白谷雲水峡は雨で増水のため中止となりましたが返金手続きもとてもスムーズで満足しています

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

The sense of accomplishment is incredible. 達成感は半端ない。

Reviewed by: miyuki

The impact of the heavy rain disaster in May and the onset of the rainy season, along with unstable weather and delays at the time of departure, filled me with anxiety as I set off for Yakushima. Arriving at Yakushima Airport was a miracle, especially since it was a connecting flight. It was also miraculous that the mountain bus service resumed on the day of trekking, and despite heavy rain the night before, the weather was clear that day—truly a miraculous start to the trekking adventure.

However, I felt a sense of reassurance from the words of our guide, Shimozono-san, who said, "It will be fine. Let's do our best to go as far as we can."

On the day of the trek, I teamed up with my friends and two young women, making a group of four. "Today is the best," said Shimozono-san. With the June sunshine filtering through the deep green foliage, even though we were sweating, the breeze was refreshing. He helped us manage our pace as trekking beginners, and we successfully reached Jomon Sugi. The miso soup he prepared for our lunch was comforting.

We also took many great photos. Although I had continuously declined invitations to trek to Jomon Sugi, the sense of accomplishment of "I did it too" was overwhelming. Thank you so much for the wonderful memories.

5月の豪雨災害の影響と梅雨へ突入、地元出発時の気象の不安定と大雨で遅延と条件付きと、不安材料満載の中で屋久島へ出発となりました。屋久島空港に到着も奇跡、しかも乗り継ぎで。トレッキング当日に登山バス運行が再開となったのも奇跡、前日は夜間も大雨だったのに当日は晴れたのも奇跡で、ホントに奇跡尽くしのトレッキングの始まりでした。
しかし、前日にガイドのシモゾノさんからの「大丈夫でしょう。行けるところまでがんばってき行きましょう。」というお言葉になぜか安心感がわきました。
当日は友達と、他に二人の若い女性との4人でトライしました。「今日は最高だよ」とシモゾノさん。6月の晴れ間で深緑の隙間から光がさし、汗をかいても風が涼しく、長ーい道のりをトレッキング初心者の4人のペース配分して下さり、無事に縄文杉までたどり着くことが出来ました。用意してくださった昼食のお味噌汁浸みました。
いい写真もたくさん撮れました。
誘いを拒否しつづけてきた縄文杉トレッキングでしたが、「私でも出来た」という達成感は半端なかったです。
良い思い出を本当にありがとうございました。

Great tour!!

Outstanding tour of Mount Fuji and overall great experience. Mr. Koizumi did a fantastic job as our guide and I would definitely recommend him for anyone taking this tour. His knowledge and overall attitude made the trip something I know my family and I will not soon forget. Thanks to everyone that made the tour what it was.

A reward just for those who worked hard! 頑張った人だけのご褒美‼️

Reviewed by: 緑大好き

Despite it being June, the weather was nice, and I was able to reach Taiko Rock in the heat! The mossy forest along the way was the setting for "Princess Mononoke"! I was so happy! After that, there was a steep slope, and I worked hard to climb through the pathless area, leading to an incredible view!! It was a reward view that only those who put in the effort could see! It was a moment that made me feel glad I came.

6月にも関わらず天気も良く、暑い中太鼓岩まで行けました!途中の苔むすの森はもののけ姫の舞台!嬉しかった!そこから急斜面が続き道なき所を頑張って登った先に大絶景!!頑張った人だけが見えるご褒美ビュー!来て良かったと思える瞬間でしたよ。
