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

I am grateful to Mr. Shimozono! シモゾノさんに感謝です‼︎

Reviewed by: nao

I want to visit the mossy forest, Taiko Rock, and Jomon Sugi! But I'm not confident about walking for two days. So, I thought I could just go in one day! However, being the worrywart that I am, I might end up walking too fast to catch the bus back and not enjoy myself. Plus, I hardly walk normally, and if it rains, I might not make it back safely. So, after searching, I discovered this greedy course and decided to book a private guide to avoid inconveniencing others. I asked the experienced guide, Shimozono, who has been mentioned in various testimonials. I was looking forward to it every day, but as the date approached, my anxiety about the weather and what to bring increased. When I consulted Shimozono during the pre-check, he reassured me that it wouldn't rain that day and answered all my questions about what to bring with reasons, which resulted in me only needing to rent a backpack and trekking shoes, significantly reducing my luggage for Yakushima. I was very grateful for that. Most importantly, Shimozono's kind voice and way of speaking eased my trekking anxiety.

On the day of the trek, the excitement began right from the start. I listened to the explanations and enjoyed the walk, albeit slowly, while Shimozono and my husband waited for me. We smoothly cleared the mossy forest, Taiko Rock, and the tramway. From there to Jomon Sugi, my knees started to tire, and I walked even slower, but Shimozono kept encouraging me with cheerful remarks, and we successfully reached Jomon Sugi. The miso soup that Shimozono made was incredibly comforting for my body, which had cooled down from sweating.

Then came the dreaded return journey. From the start, my knees began to hurt, and the pain intensified to the point where I was grimacing and tearing up. My husband had to help me, and I became so slow that I had to let others pass. However, I managed to return to the tramway, so I thought I just had to walk the flat path from there. But soon, my knees wouldn't bend, and the swollen toes were hitting the front of my shoes, causing pain. I started to worry that I might not make it back in time for the bus. Just then, Shimozono gave me painkillers and advised me to remove my insoles. He also made me warm coffee, which revived my knees, feet, and spirits, allowing me to catch the 5 PM bus and end the day on a happy note. I am truly grateful to Shimozono for encouraging me with cheerful remarks and being so kind, even though I caused some trouble. Also, I appreciate him for taking the initiative to take many photos at various spots. I enjoyed the tankan and kaki-pi that I couldn't eat during the trek. Thank you so much!

To the woman who talked about deer antlers while we were heading to Shiratani Unsuikyo, I enjoyed our conversation, and it really helped ease my tension about the trek. Thank you!

垢むす森にも太鼓岩にも縄文杉にも行きたい‼︎けど2日間歩く自信がない。だったら1日で行けばいいやん‼︎けど心配性な私は帰りのバスに間に合わせるために無駄に早く歩いてしまい楽しむことができなさそうだし普段ほとんど歩くことがないうえに雨が降るとなると無事に帰ってくることができないかもしれない。ということで検索した結果こちらのよくばりコースを発見し他の方に迷惑をかけてしまわないようにプライベートガイドを予約し体験談にちらほら出てくるベテランガイドのシモゾノさんにお願いすることにしました。それからは毎日楽しみにしていたのですが日が近づくにつれ天気や持ち物について不安が増えていったので事前確認の際にシモゾノさんに相談したところ、その日は雨降らないよ〜と言ってくださり持ち物について「これはいる？じゃあこれは？」とたくさん質問した一つ一つに理由をつけて答えてくださり結果レンタルする物がザックとトレッキングシューズだけになり屋久島への荷物が減り、とても有り難かったです。そして何よりシモゾノさんの優しい声と話し方がトレッキングへの不安をぶっ飛ばしてくれました。そして当日。トレッキング開始から感動が始まり説明を聞き楽しみ歩くのが遅いながらもシモゾノさんと旦那に待ってもらいつつ順調に苔むす森に太鼓岩にトロッコ道をクリア。そこから縄文杉までは膝が疲れ始めさらに歩くのが遅くなりましたがシモゾノさんが愉快な声かけをしてくださり無事に縄文杉もクリア。その後にシモゾノさんが作ってくださったお味噌は汗で冷えた体に染み渡りとても有り難かったです。そして恐怖の帰り道。歩き始めから膝が痛み始め顔が歪み涙が出てしまうほどの激痛に変わり旦那に手をひいてもらい後ろから来る方達に先に行ってもらうほど歩くのが遅くなりましたがトロッコ道まで帰ることができたので、あとは段差のない道を歩くだけだとほっとしたのも束の間、痛んだ膝は曲がらず浮腫んでパンパンになった足の指が靴先に当たり痛み始め、このままでは帰りのバスに間に合わないかもしれないというほどに歩くのが遅くなり不安になっているとシモゾノさんが鎮痛剤をくださりインソールをはずせばいいとアドバイスしてくださり温かいコーヒーを作ってくださり膝も足も気持ちも復活し無事に17時のバスで帰ることができましたし楽しい気持ちで終えることができました。迷惑をかけてしまったにも関わらず最後まで愉快な声かけで励ましてくださり優しく対応してくださったシモゾノさんには本当に本当に感謝です。あと、シモゾノさんから声をかけてくださり、たくさんの場所で写真を撮ってくださったことにも感謝です。トレッキング中に食べることができなかったタンカンと柿ピー美味しくいただきました。本当に本当にありがとうございました。

白谷雲水峡に向かっている際に鹿の角の話をしてくださった女性の方。お話楽しかったですしトレッキングへの緊張が解れて有り難かったです。ありがとうございました。

The fun and sense of achievement surpass the fatigue!! 疲れを上回る楽しさと達成感！！

Reviewed by: かなすけ

I was honestly more anxious than excited at the start, given that it was my first trekking experience on a hard course. However, we were blessed with good weather and received a lot of energy from the forest, allowing us to enjoy the walk from start to finish!

This course, which takes you through Shiratani Unsuikyo, Taiko Rock, and Jomon Sugi in one day, is indeed challenging, but it fills you with a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction.

As someone who doesn't usually engage in sports, I believe I was able to enjoy it so much thanks to the guide's pacing, explanations at key points, and opportunities for photos.

Additionally, regarding the transportation, even though I caused some inconvenience due to my circumstances, they responded quickly and courteously, for which I am truly grateful.

It became the best memory! I highly recommend this course!!

初めてのトレッキングで、かつハードなコースということで正直楽しみよりも不安が勝るようなスタートでしたが、天気にも恵まれ、森から沢山のパワーをもらって、最初から最後まで楽しく歩くことができました！
白谷雲水峡〜太鼓岩〜縄文杉を1日で巡れるこのコースは、確かにハードではありますがその分達成感と満足感でいっぱいになります。
普段からスポーツをやっているわけではない私がこんなに楽しくやり切れたのは、ガイドさんのペース配分、要所要所での説明や写真撮影などがあったおかげだと思っています(*^^*)
また、送迎の件ではこちらの都合でご迷惑をおかけをしてしまったにも関わらず、迅速丁寧に対応してくださり本当に感謝感謝でした。
最高の思い出になりました！
このコースおすすめです！！

Taking my elderly parents with me. 高齢の両親を連れて

Reviewed by: てるてる坊主

It was my first time visiting Kanazawa. When traveling with elderly parents, taxi tours are definitely the best option. I have visited various famous sites across Japan and have taken taxi tours before. This time, we had the youngest driver so far, who was incredibly kind and provided detailed explanations about the historical sites, which I greatly appreciated. Thank you very much. If I have the opportunity again, I would definitely like to request your services.

初めての金沢観光でした。高齢の両親を伴う旅行ではやはりタクシー観光がベストです。
これまでも名所と言われる日本各地に行きタクシー観光をしてきました。今回、今までで１番お若いドライバーさんでしたがとてもとても親切にして頂き、そしてまた遺跡名所歴史にも驚くほどに詳しく説明して下さり感謝致します。
ありがとうございました。また機会があれば必ずお願いしたいと思っています。

It was a deep green forest with various types of moss growing. Although I hadn't seen "Princess Mononoke," I could certainly feel the presence of spirits, and it was a wonderful place that sparked my imagination. The guide was knowledgeable and very enjoyable to talk to, making for a great day (half-day). I am very grateful. Next time, I would like to visit Taiko Rock.

いろいろな種類の苔が生えている深い緑の森でした。
「もののけ姫」は、観ていなかったのですが、それでも確かにものの気配を感じる、想像力をかきたてられるような素晴らしい場所でした。

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

Simply Wonderful

Reviewed by: Rob Gordon

The trip was with my Adult daughter From start to finish our driver and the experience was delightful - getting picked up in the Toyota Century was simply classic old school and made us feel Presidential. Our driver had the right blend of very respectful Japanese manners coupled with a delightful and cheeky sarcasm ( which suited us because it was how we are ).

He walked with us through each of the venues to make sure the experience was far more in depth than simply driving us to each site. The genuineness of the experience was very special and I will definitely be bringing my wife to Kyoto so I can take her on the same journey.

It's absolutely worth it on so many levels.

It was raining, but I did my best! 雨の中でしたが頑張りました！

Reviewed by: あさみこ

In the morning, I went to Taiko Rock, then joined the Torokko Path to Jomon Sugi. If you only take the Jomon Sugi route, you'll walk the long Torokko Path back and forth in full, but this way you can skip a bit. However, since both are included, there isn't much time to spare, so those who focus on taking photos might find it boring. I think it's great for those who want to walk quietly and see various things and finish the mountain in one day! I'm satisfied!

朝に太鼓岩、そのあとトロッコ道に合流して縄文杉へ。
縄文杉ルートのみだと、長いトロッコ道を往復ともフルで歩きますが、こちらなら少し省けます。
ただ、どちらもいくので時間的に余裕はなく、写真重視の方はつまらないかもです。
黙々と歩いて色々見たい、
1日で山を終わらせたい人に良いと思います！
わたし的には満足です！

Satisfaction depends on the guide. 満足度はガイドによる

Reviewed by: もののけののの

It was a great memory to take photos at several spots recommended by the guide. The explanations were easy to understand, and I felt a sense of wonder. The walking tips were helpful, and I was able to mimic where to place my feet while walking behind the guide.
However, I believe the satisfaction of the tour can vary depending on personal preferences regarding the guide's character. My guide had 12 years of experience and was knowledgeable, but was rather straightforward and lacked humor. Another guide from the same company was friendly and created a lively atmosphere where participants could bond. I think this isn't just a matter of luck but rather reflects the diversity of personalities. Everyone has their own preferences for what kind of guide they like, but since it’s a matter of chance which guide you get, I think if you consider that risk when booking the tour, you won’t have regrets.

写真をガイドさん一押しスポットの何箇所かで撮っていただけたのがいい記念になりました。説明もわかりやすくて、ふーん！という気分になれました。歩き方も参考になり、ガイドさんの後ろを歩くときは足場をどこにおくか真似することができました。
ただ、ガイドさんのキャラの好みや合う合わないによってツアーの満足度は左右されると思います。私のガイドさんは歴12年で知識は豊富でしたが、どちらかというとあっさりしていて淡白で笑いがありませんでした。同じ会社のもう1人のガイドさんは人懐っこくて笑いが絶えず参加者同士も仲良くなれるような雰囲気でした。これは当たり外れではなくキャラが多様だということだと思います。どういう人がいいかは人それぞれですがどんなガイドさんに当たるかは運なので、そのリスクを踏まえてツアーを申し込むと後悔がないのではないでしょうか。

It was a wonderful tour. 素晴らしいツアーでした

Reviewed by: にっしー

It was a wonderful tour. Even during the busy Golden Week, the guide provided careful attention to each detail.

Regarding Jomon Sugi, there were many things that first-time visitors to Yakushima might not understand, and the guide thoroughly explained the rules, manners, and history of Yakushima. They pointed out places that one might overlook when exploring alone. Given the distance, I think it would be difficult for those who are not very confident in their physical fitness, but since I brought someone over 70 years old, I was worried. However, they considered everyone's condition and ensured a smooth experience while guiding us effectively. It was definitely the right decision to sign up for the tour. Thank you for a truly meaningful time. Thank you very much, guide Minida. The herbal tea we had along the way was delicious and really refreshed me.

素晴らしいツアーでした。ゴールデンウイークの忙しい中、一つ一つ丁寧ににガイドしていただきました。
縄文杉については、初めて屋久島に来られた方にはわからないことも多く、屋久島でのルールやマナー、歴史など、色々丁寧に教えていただきました。個人だと素通りしてしまうようなところも教えていただきました。さすがに距離が距離だけに、体力に本当に自信がない方は難しいと思いますが、70以上の高齢を連れていったので、不安でしたが、みんなの状態を考えてくれて、スムーズに運び、うまく導いてくれます。やっぱりツアーに申し込んで正解でした。本当に有意義な時間ありがとうございました。ガイドの箕田さん、本当にありがとうございました。途中にいただいたハーブティは美味しく、疲れが吹き飛びました。

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

The guide's response was terrible. ガイドの方の対応が最悪。

Reviewed by: 旅人カメラマン

Since it was my first time in Yakushima and I didn't know the highlights, I honestly felt that 8,000 yen was expensive, but I decided to book this tour. The group consisted of two couples and myself, making a total of five people. I enjoy photography, so I was hoping to hear about the highlights while taking lots of pictures. However, right from the start, the guide said, "Since there are two couples and you, please stay at the back and follow along. If you want to take pictures, go ahead, and if you want to move ahead, we'll wait for you!" I thought this guide was suspicious from the beginning, but I took my place at the very back of the line as the tour started. As expected, being at the back meant I couldn't hear the guide's explanations, and while I was taking pictures, I was left behind. Even when I caught up, there were no additional explanations given. To top it off, while we were still on our way, the guide casually said, "You probably don't want to take pictures, so I'll leave your stuff that you left in the car at the entrance, and you can just take the bus back!" I was truly at a loss for words. I love traveling and visit various places, but I don't think I've ever encountered such a irresponsible and careless guide (T-san). At the very least, if they had offered to reduce the tour price to half or one-third after the cash payment, I could have understood, but the tour fee was already paid by credit card. To be treated like a nuisance and told to leave before even halfway through the tour was shocking.

After that, I was made to walk at the very back again, and even when I was delayed, there was no concern from the guide. At a restroom stop, even though I intended to go, I was told, "You're slow, so just go ahead without using the restroom." When I arrived at the break point with the other couples, I was greeted with, "Oh? You made it, huh?" I really wondered what this guide thought of themselves. The scenery was incredibly beautiful, which made T-san's attitude even more disappointing. Since I can only give a rating of one, personally, I would give it minus 100 points. They probably have a decent amount of guiding experience. As I was leaving, the guide said, "Please use us again!" and I was shocked at how they could say that. I will never use this company's tour again, but if they cut corners because I was a solo participant this time, I hope they treat every customer with care in the future, regardless of who they are, since everyone pays the same amount.

This was the only disappointing point of my trip. For those who love photography or are participating individually, not all guides are like this, but I strongly recommend going solo instead of joining a tour.

初めての屋久島だった事もあり、見所も分からないので、８０００円は正直高いなと感じながらもこちらのツアーを申し込みました。人数構成としては、カップル２組、私の計５名という形でした。私は写真撮影が好きなので、見所も聴きつつ、沢山写真が撮れればと考えていましたが、スタート早々、今回はカップル２組と私という構成なので、カップルの方を前で、私(〇〇さん)は後ろからのんびり付いてきて下さい。写真を撮りたければ撮って、先行っちゃうようでしたら待ってるんで！とのこと。開始早々、このガイドは怪しいなと思いながらも隊列の一番後ろについてツアー開始。案の定一番後ろなのでガイドの案内も聞こえず、写真を撮ってればどんどん置いていかれ、追い付いても追加の説明は何もされず、極め付けは、まだ行きの途中で〇〇さん(私)は写真撮りたんないだろうから、車の中に置いてきた荷物は入口に置いておくから帰りバスで帰れば！！と何食わぬ顔で言われました。これには流石に言葉を失いました。私も旅が好きなので、色々な場所に行きますが、これほど無責任で適当なガイド(Ｔさん)は他を探してもそうそう居ないと思いますし、初めて遭遇しました。せめて現金決済後払いで、ツアー代金を半額にします。１／３にしますならまだ話は分かりますが、ツアー代金はクレジット決済で入金済み。ツアー半分も来てないで、厄介者扱い、帰れは本当に衝撃でした。その後も隊列の一番後ろを歩かされ、遅れてもなんの心配もせず、また途中のトイレのポイントではトイレに行こうと思ってたにも関わらず、〇〇さんは遅いからトイレ行かずに先に言ってて下さいと言われる始末。休憩ポイントに他のカップルと一緒に着いた時には、あれ？〇〇さん来てたんですねと声を掛けられ、本当にこのガイドは何様なんだ？と感じました。景色などが凄く綺麗だっただけに、本当に今回のガイドのＴさん(下の名前)の態度は本当に残念なものでした。今回の評価が一からしか付けられないので一ですが、個人的には−１００点くらいです。おそらくガイド歴はそこそこ長いのでしょう。帰り際にまた使って下さい！と声を掛けられましたが、どの口が言えるのかとビックリしました。私がまたこの会社のツアーを使うことは二度とありませんが、今回は若者の一人参加相手で手を抜いた部分があったのだとしたら、次回からどんな相手にでも、同じお金を払ってるお客様として一人一人丁寧にガイドをしてもらいたいものです。
今回の旅で唯一残念に感じたポイントです。
カメラ好きな方や個人参加の方はガイドさん皆が皆こうではないですが、ツアーには参加せず単独で行くのを強くお勧めします。

Reviewed by: いっそー

We participated in a tour to Jomon Sugi on April 27 and Taiko Rock on April 28 as a couple aged 61 and 58. We have experience in trekking and climbing, but this time, due to the long distance of 22 km round trip and our desire to hear various stories, we booked a private guide for the first day. However, there was not much explanation along the way, and when I fell and injured myself at a stream, the guide only mentioned that they had disinfectant but did not provide any treatment on the spot. We continued walking for another 20 minutes and finally arrived at the next rest area, where we had to take care of the wound ourselves. The guide had 26 years of experience, but I wished for a bit more consideration.

61歳と58歳の夫婦で4/27縄文杉+4/28太鼓岩までのツアーに参加しました。トレッキングや登山は夫婦で何度も経験がありますが、今回は往復22kmと長丁場なのと色々な話を聞きたくて初日のみプライベートガイドを申し込みました。しかし道中大した説明もなく、また私が沢場で転んで怪我をした際にも「消毒薬を持ってる」と言ったきりその場で処置する事もなく更に20分歩き続け、漸く次の休憩場所に着いたところで自分達で傷の手当てをしました。

We were really lucky to have beautiful weather for our hike, with clear skies. Although we couldn't see the sparkling moss because it hadn't rained, the view from Taiko Rock was breathtaking. Our guide was like a master of iPhone photography, skillfully using the panorama feature to take various photos, which we really appreciated. We enjoyed seeing many Yakusugi trees, starting with Jomon Sugi. Since we descended about two and a half hours earlier than planned, we took a break by the Anbo River, took off our hiking boots and socks, and splashed our tired feet in the water, which was a lovely experience. It was an 11-hour journey, but there wasn't a moment when we felt exhausted, and we were able to enjoy the entire route. I think this is a tour I would recommend to everyone.

天気に恵まれ、快晴のハイキング日和だったのは、本当にラッキーでした。
雨が降ってなかった分、キラキラの苔は見れませんでしたが、太鼓岩からの眺めは絶景でした。
ガイドさんが、iPhoneカメラの達人のような方で、パノラマ機能を駆使して色々な写真を撮ってくださったのがとてもありがたかったです。
縄文杉をはじめ、色々な屋久杉を満喫できました。
下山が予定より2時間半ほど早かったので、途中安房川の沢に降りて、登山靴と靴下を脱いで川の水でちゃぷちゃぷしながら、疲れた足を癒したのもステキな時間でした。
11時間の行程でしたが、しんどくなる時間帯もなく、全ての道のりを楽しむことができました。

Private Mt. Fuji & Kawaguchiko Day Tour from Tokyo with Customizable Itinerary

Super fun times with Taiji

Reviewed by: Derek E

This was our second 2-day tour with Taiji in 3 years, and everyone had so much fun! Not only is Taiji super detailed oriented in planning a wonderful itinerary for our group, and equally efficient in executing even the most complicated and busiest schedules, it is all accomplished without making the tour group feel rushed at all. At the end, we were able to enjoy a fantastic customized experience that catered to the varied preferences that ranged from a 15-year old teenage girl up to grandparents in their 70's and 80's!

Best of all, Taiji not only provides a great tour service, but does so by enhancing the experience through his fun personality. Not only is his English excellent, but it is very difficult to find someone who is as humorous as Taiji who can not only understand but participate in sarcastic humor! Thank you so much again for the truly memorable and fun times, Taiji!

Private Mt. Fuji & Kawaguchiko Day Tour from Tokyo with Customizable Itinerary

Cold and wet, but still amazing day!

Reviewed by: Jeremy

Booked this tour a couple of months ago, when the weather forecast said it will be sunny. Unfortunately, the day of the tour itself, there was rain and snow, obviously Fuji-san would be a no-show. However, Taiji made the tour as comfortable for the group as possible, offering alternative activities for the day, since the situation is beyond anyone's control. Have to admit, Fuji-san was just the really optional part of the tour, and the priority was Gotemba Outlets. So we spent more the most part of the day there, taking our sweet time shopping and enjoying what the day has to offer. Taiji is very friendly, on time, drives safely, adaptable to our requests who would go above and beyond. Over all, I would have to say we were in very good hands, and I couldn't have asked for anyone better, would book a tour with them again in the near future.

Two women! First time in Yakushima! A satisfying tour for the greedy! 女2人！初めての屋久島！よくばり満足ツアー

Reviewed by: ビーサン

At the end of March, I visited Yakushima for the first time. Since my stay was limited, I decided to join a comprehensive tour! As a result, I was able to see everything I wanted in one day: the moss-covered forest, Taiko Rock, Jomon Sugi, the trolley road, and lots of moss. I breathed in the natural air and had a very satisfying day.

**Satisfaction Points**
● The ability to do so much in one go... The standard plan for Yakushima involves a 10-hour trek over two days plus a 6-hour trek... Just thinking about the fatigue on the second day is daunting. I definitely recommend doing it all in one day for 12 hours!
● Peace of mind... With a guide, the timing for breaks is perfect! The guide has been leading tours for 200 days a year and shares many interesting stories while trekking.
● Rentals available... I rented rain gear. Even though it was sunny, it was very useful (the top). I couldn't be there for the rental, but when I called the rental company for advice, they were very accommodating.

**Points to be Careful About**
● Of course, you will get tired! It's not easy! But the fun is so overwhelming that the fatigue disappears!
● This tour is not suitable for those who want to take a lot of photos... Since it's a packed itinerary, you have to trek quickly. The guide manages the time well, so there won't be stops for explanations! However, at photo points, you can take pictures freely, and the guide provides explanations while walking (you can ask if you want to know more). I had plenty of fun!
● Wear shoes that suit you!
● Battle with muscle soreness... I recommend a hot spring for that night. It feels dozens of times better than usual.

**Outfit on the Day (Late March)**
Weather on the day: It was forecasted to be cloudy, but it was clear.
● Top: Long-sleeve undershirt (Montbell) + T-shirt + rain parka (rental)
● Bottom: Hiking pants, trekking shoes
● Things I brought just in case but didn't use: Sports towel (didn't sweat), down jacket (no cold moments, only used on the bus ride back)

**Contents of My Bag**
About 2000 yen, light down jacket, two bento boxes, headlamp, two bottles of water (there's spring water at each rest area, so one bottle is enough), a lot of snacks.

**Things I Wish I Had**
Wet wipes (sometimes you want to wipe your hands after eating).

Overall, I was extremely satisfied to fully enjoy my first experience in Yakushima in just one visit!!! I want to recommend this tour to friends who are planning to go to Yakushima!

3月末に初めての屋久島。滞在日数が限られていたので思い切ってよくばりツアーに参加しました！
結果、1日で苔むすの森、太鼓岩、縄文杉、トロッコ道、苔、苔、苔、見たいものが全て見れて自然の空気をたくさん吸って大満足の1日でした。
《満足ポイント》
●なんといってもよくばれること・・・屋久島の定番プランといえば、2日に渡る10時間+6時間のトレッキング...2日目の疲労度を考えるだけでゾッとします。一度に12時間が断然お勧め！
●安心しかない ・・・案内人付きなので休憩のタイミングは絶妙！年間200日も案内しているガイドさん、トレッキングしながらお話しすると色々面白いお話聞かせてくれます。
●レンタルできる・・・レインウェアをレンタルしました。晴れててもかなり重宝しました(トップス)。レンタルにどうしても立ち会えず、レンタル会社に電話で相談した所、臨機応変に対応してくれました。

《ここ気をつけて！ポイント》
●当然疲れます！楽ではありません！だけど疲れなんぞ吹っ飛ぶほどたのしい！
●写真撮りにきてる人には向いてないツアー・・・欲張ってるのでもちろんサクサクとトレッキングしなくてはなりません。時間配分を考えながら道案内してくれるので、立ち止まってガイドはしません！だけど撮影ポイントでは自由に写真を撮らせてくれて、歩きながら説明もしてくれて(知りたければ聞けばいい)、私は十二分にたくさん楽しませてもらいました！
●自分に合った靴を履くこと！
●筋肉痛との闘い・・・この日の夜は温泉をお勧めします。いつもの数十倍気持ちいいです。

《当日の服装 3月下旬》
当日の天気：曇り予報でしたが快晴
●上：長袖肌着(モンベル)+Tシャツ+レインパーカー(レンタル)
●下：山登り用ズボン、トレッキングシューズ
●念のため持っていたけど使わなかったもの：スポーツタオル(汗をかかない)、ダウン(寒い場面がない、強いて言うなら帰りのバスで使用)

《バッグの中身》
お金2000円位、ライトダウン、弁当二個、ヘッドライト、ペットボトル2本(湧き水が休憩所ごとにあるのでもはや一本あれば十分)、大量のお菓子

《あったらよかったもの》
ウエットティッシュ(ご飯後など手を拭きたくなる時がある)

とにかく初めての屋久島を一度で満喫できて大大大満足でした！！！
屋久島に行こうとしてる友人にもこのツアーを紹介したいと思います！

Had a great tour with a private chartered taxi. Our driver-guide Taka was very helpful, friendly, accommodating, and funny. We are very happy to be with his company and we hope to meet him again in the future of our Japan trips.

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 almost retired. あやうく、リタイア(^-^;)

Reviewed by: MIMIK

Although I usually don't exercise much, I signed up casually, but the 22 kilometers and 10 hours and 15 minutes of perfect climbing were so hard that I almost had to retire midway. Thanks to everyone's encouragement and our local main guide, Taniyama, who carried my luggage, I was able to complete it safely! I'm just so grateful! ♪( ´▽｀)

Yakushima has rain two-thirds of the year, and the mountain weather reportedly has a low rate of clear skies, but fortunately, it was a beautiful sunny day! ♪ I canceled the half-day trip to Shiratani Unsuikyo the next day due to a sore throat and heavy rain in the morning, but it was still a satisfying experience. Thank you very much.

普段、ほとんど運動をしていないのに、氣軽に申し込んでしまいましたが、22キロ、10時間15分の完璧なる登山で、あまりにハードだった為、途中でリタイアしそうに。皆さんの励ましと、地元出身のメインガイドのタニヤマさんがわたしの荷物を背負って下さったお陰で、無事にコンプリートできました！もう感謝でしかありません♪( ´▽｀)

屋久島は年間2/3が雨で、しかも山の天候は晴天率が低いらしいのですが、その日は快晴だったのもさいわいでした♪
翌日の白谷雲水峡半日の方は喉の痛みに加え、朝方豪雨だったこともありキャンセルしましたが、充分満足できる体験となりました。ありがとうございました。

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

The guide was great. ガイドさんが良かった

Reviewed by: ぼじくん

The guide was a great person, and I was able to walk comfortably. Even though I usually lack exercise and had surgery and hospitalization a month ago, the course was manageable for me. Next time, I would like to try going to Taiko Rock.

ガイドさんが良い感じの方で気持ち良く歩くことができました。
普段運動不足である上に１ヶ月前に手術、入院していた私でも大丈夫なコースでした。
次回は太鼓岩まで行ってみたいと思います。

Private Mt. Fuji & Hakone Tour with Lake Ashi Cruise & Optional Private Onsen

The most comfortable and relaxing way to see the sights and enjoy the views

Reviewed by: John Mackenzie

This tour was exceptional in that it was possible to select and change the itinerary as the day progressed. The tour guide spoke good English, was knowledgeable about the places we visited, and was happy and adept at discovering additional places to visit to fit our interests. In addition, the driver also spoke good English, drove well and safely, and also was helpful in support of the guide. We also had a very nice lunch in a beautiful and peaceful restaurant. All in all, this was without doubt the best tour we had in Japan.
The tour comprised a married couple and a friend - all fairly elderly, but the guide made sure we were able to see all the important sight seeing aspects of the tour.

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

Higashi is the best! 东谦一真棒!

Reviewed by: LKL

Higashi is my Chinese-speaking Japanese born private
tour guide and having worked in China for many years, he is a gem that could give us Japanese culture and yet be able to relate to us - we are a Singaporean family (I was with my 70 year old mother and 2 sisters). He paced the entire trip nicely taking into account our speed, to the extent of serving our food needs and even accompany us to shopping to wherever we want and with such patience for a man! Encourage all to book him!

东谦一是我们的日本长大又能说中文的私人导游。他在中国工作了很多年，所以美好的融合了日本传统又能够跟我们的文化接近。由于我带了70岁的妈妈和两个妹妹，他完美得随我们的步伐导游，恰到好处。他更帮我们照顾周到， 餐饮和购物都随我们一起走，帮我们翻译，难能可贵的一个导游。大家请指定他为你的导游!

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: まかさん

Due to the heavy rain since the previous day, there were warnings from the morning, and I was quite anxious from the start. However, the warnings were lifted, and we began at the Arakawa trailhead. It seems that starting from here is tougher, but I trusted the judgment of our experienced guide. It was extremely cold because of the rain, but the miso soup that the guide provided was truly comforting.

Completing two major courses at once was certainly hard, and I dealt with muscle pain for two days, but once the pain subsided, I realized it had been a wonderful experience. Perhaps due to the rain, the trekking lasted a total of 12 hours, but I'm glad I went. This course would be impossible without a guide, as it would break your spirit! (laughs)

前日からの土砂降りで朝から警報が出ており、スタートからヒヤヒヤしましたが、なんとか警報も解除され、荒川登山口からスタート
こっちからスタートするほうがしんどいらしいですが、ベテランガイドさんの判断にお任せ
雨が降っていたのでめちゃくちゃ寒かったですが、ガイドさんの出して下さったお味噌汁が本当に染み渡りました
いっぺんに2大コースを済ませる分、当然ハードで、2日間筋肉痛を引きずりましたが、痛みが引いてやっと、素晴らしい体験になったなぁと思います
雨のためか計12時間のトレッキングになりましたが、行けて良かった
このコースはガイドさん無しだと心が折れるので無理ですね 笑

It was a fun trekking experience. 楽しいトレッキングでした。

Reviewed by: かなぽん

I had a great trip with my dad, and we enjoyed the climb. Thank you very much for taking us to the airport. My dad, who is 74 years old, was satisfied to see the Yakusugi trees. Personally, I prefer a bit more challenging climbs, so next time I want to summit Mount San.

親父とふたり旅、楽しく登ることができ、空港まで送って頂き大変お世話になりました。
74歳になる親父も屋久杉見れて満足してました。
僕自身はもう少しハードな登山が好きなので今度は三岳に登頂したいと思います。

Yakushima for the first time 初めての屋久島

Reviewed by: サンタ猫

This was my first time in Yakushima. It was late March, so it wasn't high season, but I still enjoyed it. The weather was bad and humid, but it seems that the rocks in Yakushima are not slippery even when wet, so I didn't struggle much with the hiking. Personally, I thought Taiko Rock and the Mossy Forest were the best. I enjoyed the sacred atmosphere in the conditions after the rain. If I were to visit again, I think I would skip the Yakusugi.

今回が初めての屋久島でした。3月下旬とハイシーズンではありませんでしたが、普通に楽しめました。天気が悪くジメジメしてましたが、屋久島の岩は濡れても滑りにくいみたいでそこまで登山に苦労はしませんでした。
個人的には太鼓岩と苔むすの森が最高でした。雨上がりのコンディションで神聖な雰囲気を楽しめました。
またリピするなら屋久杉は省略すると思います。

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

The best weather, the best guide. 最高の天気、最高のガイド

Reviewed by: naughty cat

I was picked up at 1 PM in Miyanoura and enjoyed Shiratani Unsuikyo until after 4 PM. Although the pickup area was outside the JR Hotel, I was told that since the guide lived near the JR Hotel and Iwasaki Hotel, it was possible to arrange for pickup from the hotel if requested. We were blessed with good weather, and despite it being mid-March, the temperature was quite high, which is rare for Yakushima. The guide was very knowledgeable, and we had a great time during the journey. I think trekking shoes are better than sneakers (preferably ones you are used to), and rain gear is essential. There are many places to refill water, so having a bottle or a flask is sufficient. The itinerary is about three hours long, but there are hardly any steep areas, so as long as you have the stamina to climb five flights of stairs, you should be fine.

13時に宮之浦でピックアップしてもらって16時過ぎまで白谷雲水峡を堪能してきました（JRホテルでピックアップエリア外でしたが、JRホテルやいわさきホテルの近くの集落にお住まいのガイドさんだったため、頼めばホテルまでの送迎も可能だったと言われました）。天候に恵まれ、屋久島には珍しいピーカンかつで3月半ばにも関わらず気温も高めでした。ガイドさんは話題も豊富で道中楽しく過ごせました。スニーカーよりはトレッキングシューズが良いと思いますし（出来れば履き慣れたもの）、雨具は必携だと思います。水は補給できる場所は多いので、ペットボトルや水筒が一つあれば大丈夫です。3時間程度の行程ですが、険しいところは殆どないので、階段で5階まで登れる程度の体力があれば問題ないと思います。
