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

I'm glad I went to Shiratani Unsuikyo. 行って良かった白谷雲水峡

Reviewed by: こだま

The day after climbing Jomon Sugi, I was worried about whether I could go, but since the departure was at 8:30 AM and I was back at my accommodation by noon with a shuttle service included, I’m really glad I chose this plan. The guide was kind and took photos at various points, creating great memories. Above all, the scenery of the Forest of the Mononoke was amazing. Compared to the Jomon Sugi climb, this course is easier, so if you're considering this course the day after climbing Jomon Sugi, it seems that athletic shoes would have been sufficient, and you can go with minimal luggage—just water and your phone. If I have the chance to go to Yakushima again, I would love to visit this place.

縄文杉登山の翌日で、行けるかどうか不安でしたが、出発も8時30分と余裕があり12時には宿泊先に戻っている送迎付きのプランだったので本当にこのプランを選んで良かったです。
ガイドさんも優しく、ポイントポイントで写真を撮ってくださり良い思い出が出来ました。何より、もののけの森の景色が最高でした。
縄文杉登山と比べると簡単なコースになるので、縄文杉登山の翌日にこのコースを検討しているのであれば運動靴でも良かったようで、荷物も水と携帯のみという最小限で行けるコースです。屋久島に行く機会があればまた行きたい場所です。

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

A great trip to Mt. Fuji area

Reviewed by: Intan

My family and I took the private tour arranged by Tokyo Star Agency to the Mt. Fuji area, not to the Mt. Fuji itself, but rather to the surrounding areas such as Lake Saiko, Saiko Iyashino-Sato Nenba, Hanaterasu, Mt. Fuji Ropeway and also a visit to the local sake brewery, Ide Sake. Our tour guide, Mrs. Yuko Matsuka was an amazing lady and spoke good English. She lives in the Mt. Fuji area so she has extensive knowledge about this particular region. I really adored her. She also paid attention to my daughters' needs, I could tell that she's sincere and thoughtful. She took us for lunch at Maple Restaurant, the food was very good, enjoyed by my kids and also myself. It was one of the many great meals I've had during my trip in Japan.
Although what we hoped for was to see Mt. Fuji from a far unfortunately didn't come true due to the weather (it was covered with clouds), yet we weren't disappointed since Mrs. Yuko tried her best to entertain us and took us to alternative spots for us to enjoy the day. I also need to mention our driver, Mr. Kenichi Higashi, who was a good driver and also very friendly. He made sure that we're well informed about the traffic condition; also was keen to offer us to make stops at the rest station along the highway.
Overall, I do recommend everyone who's interested in taking a private tour to Mt. Fuji area, to choose the Tokyo Star Agency's service.

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

Great Tour of Mt. Fuji

Reviewed by: Marie

I was on the fence between booking a private tour or a bus tour to visit Mt. Fuji but I’m so happy I decided to book a private tour. I couldn’t have asked for a more knowledgeable and accommodating tour guide. Taiji made sure we were able to visit all the places we wanted to see around Mt. Fuji even if it went beyond the allotted time. He and the driver, Toshi, we’re fun to be with. I highly recommend their services to anyone who wants to visit Japan.

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

We were blessed with good weather, but... お天気には恵まれましたが・・・。

Reviewed by: こさと

On the first day, the Jomon Sugi was under clear skies, perfect for trekking. The scenery and weather were wonderful, but the guide seemed overly focused on the time and hardly looked back, providing little explanation. There wasn't even time to take photos. To make matters worse, while I was taking pictures, the guide went ahead and disappeared from view. The guiding was completely pointless; I believe I would have enjoyed it much more if I had gone on my own. On the second day, I had a different guide who shared various stories with us. It seems there is a significant difference depending on the guide. I hope for a certain standard of service from the guides. There is really no point in having someone accompany you if it’s like this.

1日目の縄文杉は晴天で、トレッキング日和でした。景色も天気も素晴らしかったのですがガイドさんが時間ばかり気にしているのか後ろも見ず、説明もほとんどありませんでした。写真を撮ってる暇もありません。
挙げ句の果てには、写真を撮っている間にさきにいって見えなくなりました。
ガイドの意味が全くなく、むしろ個人で行った方がより深く楽しめたと思います。2日目は違うガイドさんでいろいろお話してくれました。
ガイドさんの当たり外れで雲泥の差があるように思います。
ある一定の接客レベルの人であってほしいです。一緒にいってもらう意味が全くありません。

First Yakushima Trekking 初屋久島トレッキング

Reviewed by: まゆっこ

Due to a landslide caused by heavy rain, I had given up on climbing from the Arakawa trailhead, but I received an alternative suggestion that I could reach Jomon Sugi from Shiratani Unsuikyo, which would take about 12 to 13 hours. Thanks to that, I was able to climb successfully! This meant that my trip was reduced from two days to one. Climbing from Shiratani Unsuikyo involves ascending two mountains, so it can be really tough if you're not in good shape.

The phone support was a bit chaotic, possibly due to coordination with others, as I was told different things than what was initially communicated. However, in the end, I was able to climb, so I have no complaints.

It may take some time for recovery, but Yakushima is a place you can visit with peace of mind, so I definitely encourage those who had given up to go!

大雨による土砂崩れで荒川登山口から登れないとのことで諦めていたところ、白谷雲水峡からだったら12,3時間かかるけど縄文杉に行けますと代替案をいただき無事に登れることが出来ました！その都合で2日間ではなく１日になりました。白谷雲水峡からだと山を２つ登るので体力がないと本当につらいと思います。
電話対応は他の人との兼ね合いも合った為かうまくいかず、案内されていたことと違う事を言われたりとゴタゴタしましたが、最終的には登ることが出来たので言うことはありません。
おそらく復旧には時間がかかるかもしれませんが、屋久島は安心して行くことが出来るので、諦めていた方にも是非行ってほしいです！

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've never seen greenery this vibrant and lively before! 緑がこんなに蒼くて生き生きしてるのを始めて見ました！

Reviewed by: 旅行はいつもVELTRAです

I participated in a course that started at 9 AM on May 15. It was raining from the morning, and the water level was a bit high. I had heard that there was quite a difference in elevation, but the path was better maintained and easier to walk than the Jomon Sugi trail. On the way to the Mononoke Forest, the greenery and the sound of flowing water were beautiful, allowing me to fully enjoy nature!

As the rain got heavier and the river swelled, some people turned back instead of going to the mossy forest. However, with the guide present, I felt secure and was able to reach the mossy forest. The mossy forest was truly vibrant green, and I was glad I crossed the river to get there! That day, there were heavy rains across the country, including the first in 50 years in Tanegashima, so unfortunately, we couldn't make it to Taiko Rock. It was good that the guide made that decision.

On the way back, the water level was even higher, so we took a detour that we usually wouldn't take. Since the detour wasn't a single path, I think I definitely wouldn't have been able to return without the guide. Also, because it’s not a path that people usually walk on, there was a lot of moss, and the greenery was much more vibrant than the path we had taken before, making me feel like I was in nature. I felt a bit lucky! (laughs)

A folding umbrella was very useful throughout the entire course. For those who exercise regularly or are used to hiking, there were many parts where you could walk smoothly with the umbrella without using your hands. However, for those who do not exercise or are elderly, it was difficult to climb while holding an umbrella, and there were moments when the guide had to carry some of our belongings. Since I exercise regularly, I found it much easier and enjoyed it more than the Jomon Sugi trail, but I think those who are not used to exercising should be prepared for some tough spots.

When climbing or during rain, I think it’s better to have gloves since you have to cross rivers.

The guides in Yakushima were all very friendly, and I felt like I was meeting a countryside grandfather. (My guide mentioned he was the oldest guide in Yakushima.) Before making the reservation, I was debating whether to just go to Jomon Sugi, but I’m really glad I went! I hope everyone gets to see it in person, so please prepare well in advance and get in shape to enjoy it!

５月１５日に９時からのコースに参加しました。
朝から雨が降っていて少し増水していました。
標高差がかなりあると聞いていましたが、縄文杉よりも道が整備されていて歩きやすかったです。
もののけの森に着くまでにも緑や流れる水の音がとても綺麗で自然を満喫できました！
だんだん雨がきつくなり、川が増水、苔むす森に行かず引き返す人もいましたが、
ガイドさんが居たので安心して苔むす森にまでたどり着けました。
苔むす森はほんとうに緑が鮮やかで川を超えてでも行って良かった！と思いました。
その日は前日種子島で５０年ぶりの大雨となるなど全国で天気が荒れた日でしたので、
残念ながら太鼓岩までは行くことができませんでした。
そう行った判断もガイドさんがしてくれたので良かったです。
帰りはもっと増水していたので普段通らない迂回路を通りました。
迂回路は一本道では無いのでガイドさん無しでは絶対戻ってこれなかったと思います。
また、普段人が通らないので苔が沢山生えていて、それまで通っていた道より格段と緑が青くて自然の中にいる気持ちになりました。
少し得した気持ちになりました！笑

全工程で折りたたみ傘がとっても役に立ちます。
ある程度運動している人や、登山している人なら手を使わず傘のまますいすいと歩ける箇所がほとんどです。
ただ、運動していない方、ご年配の方は傘をさして登るのは出来ず、ガイドさんに荷物を持ってもらう場面もありました。自分は普段から運動しているので縄文杉よりも全然楽で楽しめたのですが、運動をされていない方はそれなりにきつい場面もあると思った方がいいと思います。
登ったり、雨が降った時には川を渡るので手袋もあった方がいいと思います。

屋久島のガイドさんたちは皆さんとても人柄がよくて田舎のおじいちゃんに会ったような気持ちになりました。(私の今回のガイドさんは屋久島ガイドで最年長だと言っていました)
予約前は縄文杉だけにしようか悩んだのですが行って本当に良かったです！！是非生で見てほしいので、事前準備をしっかりして自分も鍛えてから楽しめる準備をして行ってほしいです！

Crossing the finish line with determination. 根性でゴール

Reviewed by: plum

The day before, the guide emphasized, "This is a really tough tour, are you sure you're okay with that?" I started to worry about whether we would be able to reach the goal while dozing off, and when it was time to wake up, I steeled myself and headed to the meeting point.
By "steeling myself," I mean I was determined not to give up. Of course, the goal was for the whole family to finish together.

Based on the guide's various experiences, our plan was to trek through Shiratani Unsuikyo first, then head to Jomon Sugi. If we did it the other way around, we would be exhausted from the Jomon Sugi trek and then have to climb a long, steep slope from the fork towards Shiratani Unsuikyo. That makes sense.

On the day of the trek, we were blessed with perfect weather, and thanks to our excellent guide, we were able to reach the goal. I realized that keeping pace with the guide was a crucial factor in being able to finish. If you're not confident in your trekking abilities, please make sure to stay behind the guide!

The scenery is something that words can't fully express. Please challenge yourself with determination; amazing nature awaits you! The muscle soreness from that day is also a memorable experience.

前日にガイドの方から、本当にしんどいツアーですが大丈夫ですか？と言うことを念押しされ、ゴールできるのだろうか？などすごく心配になりつつ、ウトウトしていたら起きる時間になり、覚悟を決めて集合場所へ向かいました。
覚悟とは、絶対にギブアップしないという覚悟です。もちろん家族全員でゴールする。ということです。

ガイドの方の色んな経験から私たちは、白谷雲水峡➡縄文杉、先に白谷雲水峡をトレッキングするプランでした。
縄文杉➡白谷雲水峡にすると、縄文杉トレッキングでクタクタになったうえに、白谷雲水峡への分かれ道から、長い長い坂道を登っていかないといけないからです。
なるほど～。

当日は最高のお天気に恵まれ、最高のガイドの先導のおかげで、ゴール出来ました。
ガイドの方の歩調についていくことが、ゴールできる大事な要因だと痛感しました。
トレッキングに自信のない方は、是非ガイドの方の後ろを確保してくださいね～

景色などは言葉で言い表しきれないものです。
覚悟を決めて挑戦してみてください、すばらしい自然が待っていますよ～
当日からの筋肉痛もたまにはいい思い出です。

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！

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.

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。

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. 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。

The weather was great, and it was the perfect day. I was worried about the long walking time and distance of the program, but thanks to the guide's accurate judgment, we were able to avoid crowds while taking breaks for restrooms and meals, making it very efficient.

天気も良くて、最高の日でした。歩行時間も距離も長いプログラムで心配でしたが、ガイドさんの的確な判断で混雑を回避しながらトイレや食事タイムを取ることができた非常に効率が良かったです。

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 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。

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

Even though we had a private guide... プライベートガイドを付けたのに・・・

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。
経験26年の熟練ガイドさんでしたが、もう少し気遣いが欲しかったです。

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

It's a very soothing landscape. とても癒される風景です

Reviewed by: ジュン

I participated the day after making a round trip to Jomon Sugi. My legs were still fatigued, and I joined while feeling exhausted. Since I had anticipated this, I chose to go only to the Mononoke Forest instead of the Taiko Rock course, but I was very satisfied with the healing scenery.

前日に縄文杉往復した翌日に参加。
足の疲労が抜け切れておらず、ひーひー言いながらの参加でした。
事前に予想していた事だったので、太鼓岩コースではなくもののけの森までにしましたが、とても癒される風景に大満足でした。

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

It exceeded my expectations! 期待以上でした！

Reviewed by: りいちあき

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。
皆さんにオススメしたいツアーだと思いました。

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

Great day out with the family in Kyoto!

Reviewed by: Huyen

My family and I visited Kyoto on April 12th, and could not be any happier with our tour. A big thanks to our friendly driver and tour guide Ichiro who made the extra effort to give us some history of the sights we visited throughout the day. Ichiro made sure we were able to visit what we had planned for the day, and he didn’t worry about the time too much when I was worried myself that our 8hour time was nearly over!
Kyoto is a beautiful place, I would go back time and time again to explore and use this service.

It was the world of Princess Mononoke. もののけ姫の世界でした

Reviewed by: チョコりん

The day before, I was worried about whether I could make it since I had been trekking to Jomon Sugi, but it turned out to be less difficult than I expected. It was helpful that we walked slowly according to our physical strength. Thank you very much for your support.

I felt the power of nature and the strength of life. Also, I was fully healed both mentally and physically with plenty of negative ions.

Next, I would like to try going to Taiko Rock.

前日、縄文杉トレッキングだったので
無事行けるか心配でしたが、思っていたより
険しくなくて大丈夫でした。
私達の体力に合わせて、ゆっくり歩いてくれたので
助かりました。大変お世話になりました。

自然の力、生命力の強さを感じました。
また、マイナスイオンたっぷりで
心も体もいっぱい癒してもらいました。

次は太鼓岩まで行ってみたいです。

The mountain climbing on both the first and second days was tough, but I enjoyed soaking in the negative ions. However, there was a slight discrepancy between what was written in the email and what the guide said on the day, which caused some confusion.

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.
