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

We enjoy our private Tour to Mt. Fuji

Reviewed by: Dawn

Mr. Tom, our personal guide took us to the Kawakuchiko lake to see Mt. Fuji and we were very lucky that it was a bright and sunny day that we can see the Mt. Fuji clearly. Our guide let us move onto the next sightseeing spots at our own pace so it is very enjoyable for the whole family!

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

Yakushima in heavy rain! 大雨の屋久島!

Reviewed by: はまだ

I had no experience with trekking or mountain climbing, but I participated in this tour. On April 14, when I joined, it was raining heavily, and unfortunately, the view from Taiko Rock wasn't very clear, but we were able to go there.

Since I was inexperienced, I was worried about my physical strength, but I managed to endure it.

The guide was very kind and even served us miso soup for lunch.

There are no other tours that take you to both Jomon Sugi and Shiratani Unsuikyo in one day, but I definitely think it's better to do it in one day.

However, I regret not preparing lightweight and quick-drying clothing (°_°).

トレッキングや登山未経験でしたが、こちらのツアーに参加しました。参加した4月14日はすごく雨が降っていて、太鼓岩の景色は残念ながらあまり綺麗に見えませんでしたが、行くことはできました。
未経験なので、体力にも不安がありましたが、耐えられました。

ガイドさんはとても親切で、お昼にお味噌汁も出してくださりました。

縄文杉と白谷雲水峡の両方を 1日で行くツアーは他にありませんが、1日で行く方が絶対良いと思いました。

ただ、服装は軽くて速乾の物を準備すれば良かったと後悔しました(°_°)

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

To the Forest of the Mononoke. もののけの森まで

Reviewed by: そうマム

I really wanted to go to Taiko Rock, but since I hiked Jomon Sugi the day before, I ended up on a half-day tour. That's the only regret I have. The guide was fun and made the experience easy. I hope to challenge Taiko Rock again next year.

When you order a tour through a travel agency, you get grouped with other people, but if you order directly online here, it seems like they take you in smaller groups. It was very good.

本当は太鼓岩まで行きたかったのですが、前日縄文杉登山をしたので時間的に半日で終わるツアーになってしまいた。これだけが残念で心残りです。ガイドさんも楽しく難なく行って来れました。また来年にでも太鼓岩に挑戦したいと思います。
旅行社でツアーをオーダーすると他の人と纏められてしまいますが直接コチラにネットオーダーすると少人数で行ってくれるみたいです。とても良かったです。

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 scenery is beautiful. 景色がきれい

Reviewed by: めるる

The scenery was very beautiful, as expected from a place that inspired Studio Ghibli. When I visited, it was raining on and off, but in the end, the sun came out, and the light reflected off the dew on the moss, creating a very magical landscape. However, the guide was able to take photos at the basic photo points, but they walked quite quickly, so I couldn't take pictures freely when I thought something was beautiful. It was also disappointing that I couldn't hear the explanations while walking.

ジブリのモデルとなっただけあり、とても綺麗な景色でした
私が行ったときは雨が降ったりやんだりを繰り返してましたが、最後に日が出て、スギゴケに付いた露に光が反射してとても幻想的な風景を見ることができました。
ただ、担当のガイドさんは、基本的な写真ポイントでは撮影していただけますが、結構スタスタと歩いて行ってしまうために、自分で綺麗だと思ったときに、自由に写真を撮ることがあまりできませんでした。
また、歩いてる途中の説明が聞こえなくて残念でした。

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

Greedy Course よくばりコース

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

The tour that covers Shiratani Unsuikyo and Jomon Sugi in one day is the only one available. If you go separately, you would end up taking the same route twice, and splitting it over two days could be mentally exhausting on the second day, so I highly recommend this tour that allows you to do it all in one day. According to the guide, even elderly people or those who don't usually exercise can complete it within the time limit. The guide is very knowledgeable about Yakushima and chose a course that suited the weather of the day. (The moss looks beautiful depending on how the sunlight hits it. In fact, as the guide said, the difference between morning and afternoon was remarkable.) Personally, I especially recommend Taiko Rock. It may not be very famous, but the view from Taiko Rock was breathtaking.

白谷雲水峡と縄文杉を1日で回るツアーはこのツアーだけでした。
別々に回ると同じ道を2回通ることになったり、2日に分けてしまうと2日目が精神的にしんどくなると思うので1日で回ることのできるこのツアーは大変おすすめです。
ガイドさんの話では、お年寄りや普段運動をしないという人でも時間内に回っているそうです。
ガイドさんは屋久島を知り尽くしていて、その日の天候に合ったコースを選んでくれました。(苔は日の当たり方次第でとても綺麗に見えるそうです。実際、ガイドさんの言う通り朝と昼とでは全然違いました。)
個人的には太鼓岩が特にオススメです。あまり有名ではない?ようですが、太鼓岩からの景色は絶景でした。

Recommendation level 100% おすすめ度100%

Reviewed by: コルク

I was worried about being able to walk since I hadn't been exercising much, but the veteran guide (an experienced and energetic senior guide) provided breaks at just the right moments and points, allowing us to enjoy the entire journey.

After our lunch break, we were taken to some highlights that weren't on the original course, which made me very satisfied. (I believe the guide assessed our stamina and remaining time to make these decisions.)

If I had walked on my own, I wouldn't have been able to pace myself or learn about the origins of the sights, so I'm really glad I joined the tour.

On the day I participated, the weather was so clear that even the guide was surprised, and we took many memorable photos at the famous spots.

On the way back, as the guide mentioned, we were able to see monkeys.

Next, I want to join the Jomon Sugi course.

普段たいした運動をしていなかったので歩けるか不安でしたがベテランガイドさん(知識と経験豊富なバリバリ元気な最年長のベテランガイドさんでした)が絶妙なタイミングとポイントで休憩も兼ねて止って案内をして下さったので全行程を楽しく歩く事が出来ました。
お昼休憩後に時間があるからとコースに入っていない見どころにも案内して頂けて大満足でした。(体力や残り時間を判断して案内して下さるのだと思います)
個人で歩くとペース配分もできず見どころの由来も知らないままの1日だったと思うとツアーに参加して本当に良かったです。
参加した日はガイドさんも驚くほどの晴天で名所では写真も写してくださり記念がたくさん残りました。
帰路ではガイドさんがおっしゃる通りお猿に会うことが出来ました。
次は縄文杉コースに参加したいです。

Graduation trip 卒業旅行

Reviewed by: ask

It was amazing!
My favorite was Taiko Rock.
There were some tough paths, but after climbing, it felt great and like I was floating.
The fun of trekking and chatting with the guide made for wonderful memories.
Even the nameless cedar was lovely and soothing.
However, we started at Shiratani Unsuikyo at 5 o'clock, and it was so dark that we couldn't see anything, so it might have been better to split it into two days instead of one.
I was disappointed that Jomon Cedar had barriers around it, making it hard to get close.

さいこうでした!
私のお気に入りは太鼓岩です。
厳しい道もありましたが、登った後は気持ちよくて、浮いてる感じでした。
トレッキングの楽しさ、ガイドさんとのお話も楽しくて、いい思い出になりました。
名前のない杉まで十分素敵で、癒されました。
ただ、5時から白谷雲水峡をスタートしましたが、まっくらで何も見えなかったので、1日でまとめるのではなく2日に分けても良かったかもしれません。
縄文杉は予想していたより、囲いがあって近づけなかったのが残念です。

I participated in a trekking trip with two friends. Although rain was in the forecast, thanks to our guide's excellent time management, we were able to reach Taiko Rock safely. It started to rain on the way down, but we enjoyed ourselves until the end. I was very happy to see so many wonderful views. Departing early in the morning was great because there were fewer people trekking.

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

Couldn't be happier

Reviewed by: DiJoyce

Endo-San was waiting for us at the appointed time in our hotel, he is truly fluent and an excellent guide and we had a knowledgeable and fun day. The other thing that was memorable was our udon lunch in a small restaurant (inn?) which was both delicious and good value. We ended the wonderful day with 45 minutes in an onsen - my first in an open-air onsen, looking at Mt Fuji. Of course thanks to God who gave us perfect weather and thus a marvellous view of the mountain. I would recommend Endo-San to anyone traveller.

I will never forget the view from Taiko Rock! 太鼓岩からの眺め、忘れられません!

Reviewed by: tomo

At first, I wasn't confident in my physical strength, so I thought it might be okay to just go to the mossy forest, but I'm really glad I decided to go all the way to Taiko Rock! The view from the top of Taiko Rock was amazing! Since I had gone on the Jomon Sugi tour the day before, this tour felt short and easy in comparison.

最初は体力に自信がなかったので、苔むす森まででもいいかなぁ~と思っていたのですが、太鼓岩まで行くことにして本当に良かったです!太鼓岩まで登りきった時の景色は最高でした!

Reviewed by: ガイガイ

Shiratani Unsuikyo was worth participating in. However, it felt like not everyone could enjoy it because the guide was only talking to one person and didn't consider the pace for the whole group.

白谷雲水峡は、参加した甲斐がありました。ガイドさんが1人の方とばかり話して全体のペースをみずに歩いていたので、参加全員が楽しめなかったように感じました。

Early morning trekking is the best! 早朝のトレッキングが最高!

The return boat was scheduled for 13:30, which was quite early, and I was told I wouldn't make it to other tours. However, since we departed early in the morning, we were able to climb to Taiko Rock and catch the boat without any issues.

Many of the other climbers didn't have guides, but thanks to our guide, I was able to notice rocks and trees that I might have missed otherwise. It was also really enjoyable to hear behind-the-scenes stories from when various media came to visit.

帰りの船が13:30と早目で、他のツアーには間に合わないと言われてしまったのですが、こちらは早朝に出発してくれたため、太鼓岩まで登って、無事船にも乗れました。

他の登山客は、割とガイドをつけてない方が多かったのですが、ガイドさんがいてくれるお陰で見逃してしまいそうな岩、木々も目に止めることができ、色々なメディアがやって来たときの裏話なども聞けてとても楽しかったです。

I finally got to go on a Yakushima tour. I participated with another housewife in her 50s from Hiroshima. The day before, the guide called us, and he picked us up at 4:30 the next morning. This time, we were a group of six, including three university students.

The hiking trail with stones and roots was tougher than I expected. The moss-covered stones were slippery, and if I let my guard down, I could easily fall. I focused on my footing to avoid bothering everyone. Thanks to that, I was able to see Jomon Sugi and the moss forest, which was truly moving.

The guide was experienced and gave us various pieces of advice. He said, "This course is efficient and highly recommended." I completely agree. It's hard, but it's better than splitting it over two days, as we could use our time effectively. By the way, the next day, we enjoyed a drive around Yakushima.

Although I was hit with muscle pain the day after the hike, I was relieved to have made it down safely. I want to give myself a pat on the back. We were blessed with clear weather, making it the best day ever. The only regret is that I didn't have the chance to leisurely gaze at the starry sky. Just before dawn, the stars were falling like rain.

I wonder if I will see the guide again. He was truly impressive. I thought it might be nice to age gracefully like that. Thank you for everything.

念願の屋久島ツアー。広島から50代の主婦2人で参加しました。
前日にガイドさんから電話があり、翌朝4時半にガイドさんが迎えにきてくれました。今回は3人の大学生と計6人のグループで行動しました。
石と根っこの登山道は思った以上に大変でした。苔の生えた石も滑るし、気を許すと転んでしまいます。皆に迷惑をかけてはいけないので足元に集中しました。おかげで縄文杉も、苔の森も見ることができて感動しました。
ガイドさんはベテランで、いろいろアドバイスをいただきました。いわく「このコースは、効率よくまわれておすすめ」と。私も同感。ハードですが、2日に分けて行くより、時間をうまく使えます。ちなみに私たちは翌日、屋久島一周ドライブを楽しみました。
登山翌日は筋肉痛に見舞われたものの、無事に下山できてほっとしています。自分で自分をほめてあげたい。
快晴にも恵まれ、最高の一日でした。残念なのは、星空をゆっくり眺める余裕がなかったこと。夜明け前は、降るような星空でした。

Dear Rinrin,

Thank you very much for applying for the Jomon Sugi and Shiratani Unsuikyo One-Day (Taiko Rock) Traversing Course.

The course we walked this time is quite challenging, and there are many voices suggesting that it should be removed from the menu because it is "too tough" even among Yakushima. However, many customers have only a 2-night, 3-day itinerary, and if they want to visit Jomon Sugi, Shiratani Unsuikyo (Moss Forest), and Taiko Rock in the middle of their trip, this is the only course available.

Recently, as a result of instructing guides to constantly monitor customers' physical conditions, the number of customers retiring from the course has decreased. I will convey to the responsible guide, S, that you were very satisfied.

Please come back to Yakushima again if you have the opportunity.

I participated with my daughter, and although we are beginners in hiking, we chose the advanced course from Shiratani Unsuikyo to Taiko Rock, Jomon Sugi, and Arakawa-guchi.

Fortunately, there were only two participants in the tour, making it a private tour. We were moved by the starry sky as we started our hike. We were blessed with good weather and were able to walk happily until the end.

Our handsome guide, who loves nature and families, kindly and attentively guided us, and the 14 hours, including hotel pick-up, flew by. We considered splitting Shiratani Unsuikyo & Taiko Rock and Jomon Sugi over two days, but I’m glad we did it in one day.

This is because the day after the hike, I had muscle pain and my legs were shaky, making it difficult to walk, so I don't think I could have gone hiking on the second day.

It’s a tough course for someone who doesn’t exercise at all, but even at 55 years old, with an office job, I was fine with just a few minutes of daily exercises like going up and down stairs and squats.

Even though it was a day trip, our guide had a large backpack, and in addition to preparations for emergencies, he provided mats for breaks, warm miso soup, and herbal tea, which I truly appreciated.

I made wonderful memories with my daughter. Thank you very much!

娘と二人で参加、登山初心者ですが白谷雲水峡→太鼓岩→縄文杉→荒川口の上級コースを選びました。
ラッキーなことにツアー参加者は二人だけでプライベートツアーとなりました。
満天の星に感動しての登山スタート。お天気に恵まれ最後までご機嫌で歩けました。
自然とご家族を愛するイケメンガイドさんが親切丁寧に案内してくださり、ホテル送迎含んで14時間という時間がアッという間でした。
白谷雲水峡&太鼓岩と縄文杉を二日に分けることも考えましたが、一日にしてよかったです。
何故なら登山の翌日は筋肉痛で足がガクガクになり歩くのも大変になったので、2日目の登山は行けなかったと思います。。
全く運動していない人には厳しいコースですが、オフィスワークで55歳の私でも階段の上り下りやスクワット等の運動を毎日数分するだけの準備で大丈夫でした。
日帰りだというのにガイドさんのザックは大きく、もしもの時の準備に加え、休憩時の敷物や温かいお味噌汁やハーブティ等を準備してくださり、その優しさを心から嬉しく思いました。

Dear Yukimama,

Thank you very much for signing up for the Jomon Sugi and Shiratani Unsuikyo 1-day (Taiko Rock) traverse course.

Looking at the photos, it seems like the weather was clear and walking was easy. There is also an option to split the Jomon Sugi and Shiratani Unsuikyo into two days, but completing it in one day is shorter in distance, so if you have a certain level of fitness, you can manage it.

The guide, A, has a short guiding history, but I will let them know how happy you both were.

If you have another opportunity, please come and visit Yakushima again.

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

Exceptional private day tour from Tokyo to Hakone!

Reviewed by: Edith

Taiji Endo san was our tour guide who provided us (a group of 8 people) excellent service. He accommodated our requests due to plan changes and suggested some fabulous ideas to our visits in Hakone. We all enjoyed every moments and had lot of laughter and good stories from Taiji.

We highly recommend Taiji and Veltra for your next visits to Japan.

No Fuji No Problem

Reviewed by: Ham and Foxy

We unfortunately were not able to see Mt Fuji on our tour. We instead had a wonderful tour and tasting at the Hakushu Distillary. I highly recommend!
Finished the day at the hot springs...bliss!

Though I was expecting that the sky will get more clear in the afternoon, there are unfortunately days with bad visibility. Despite what we missed, I'm glad to hear that you enjoyed the tasting at the Hakushu wiskey disillery and hot spring.
Hopefully looking forward to seeing you in the future.
Cheers!

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

Snow is coming! (^.^)/~~~ 雪が(^.^)/~~~

Reviewed by: ジェリ-

Surprising!! I can't believe there's snow piled up in Yakushima... I heard it occasionally snows. It was actually beautiful, contrasting with the green moss and creating a magical atmosphere. The guide was kind and it was a lot of fun! I highly recommend this tour (^_-)-☆

ビックリ!!屋久島で雪が積もってるなんて・・
たまに降るとのこと。返って苔の緑と相まって、幻想的で良かったです。
ガイドさんが親切で楽しかった~!
 このツアーおすすめです(^_-)-☆

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

Mt Fuji Experience

Reviewed by: Erth C4

The tour was really enjoyable and educative. The sceneries were amazing. The tour guide was very kind and accommodating to assist us and extend extra services to his customers.
It was only frustrating that we did not reach the 5th station since the access was closed due to the climate condition. However, the overall experience was great

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

Outstanding Tour of Tokyo day and night!

Reviewed by: Julie

I booked a 12 hour private tour for a group of 8 with transportation - October,2017.
Our quide (Taiji) met us at the Yokohama port (we arrived via cruise ship) at the designated time. We visited Rikugien Japanese Gardens, Imperial Palace-East Garden, National Museum of Tokyo, Senso-ji temple & Nakamise St.
We had an amazing lunch and traditional Japanese dinner. The only thing would have been to have some time for shopping. We also went to Shibuya Crossing before returning to Yokohoma. The weather was rainy so that contributed to a long day!

Guide needs a microphone in van so all can hear him.

Our group was VERY pleased with the service and sites!

Do Not hesitate to use Veltra!

Dear Julie
Thank you very much for choosing my service and booked for a whole day tour.
It's been a while and I hope you had some more good times on your cruiser ship discovering different countries and cities around the world.
I'm very happy to have received such nice feedback with 2 very nice pictures.
It was also a good experience for me to have organised a long day tour and have contributed to make you know little better than before.
Please feel free for any assistance in Japan if you or your friend will ever have the chance to come.
I myself enjoyed the dinner in that authentic restaurant.
Thank you for everything.

Kyoto sightseeing 京都観光

Reviewed by: かさしま

I found the tour very helpful. I was able to sightsee efficiently without getting lost, even with limited time, and I was very satisfied. They not only explained the tourist spots but also provided information about the streets and history of Kyoto in English. I would like to use this service again next time. Thank you very much.

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

Wonderful experience

Reviewed by: Chris

It was a wonderful experience. Mr. Shoji, our driver and guide, was knowledgeable and top notch. He was a wonderful company, professional and a delight. At the start, he had a tour plan waiting for as well as consulting our group if there were other things we wanted to see or do. We managed to see what we wanted to see and then some more. There were slight hiccups as some of the sights closed due to the holidays but he manage to find good alternatives. All in all a very good and well planned experience.

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

Please make sure to visit at least once! ぜひ一度行ってください!

Reviewed by: ニックネーム

Even if you're not very interested in mountain climbing, it's moving! The one-way trip takes about 4 to 5 hours, which is tough, but there are various types of cedar trees along the route, so you won't get bored. Once I saw the Jomon cedar at the goal, I forgot my fatigue. The return trip is downhill, so it's surprisingly easy to get back.

登山にはあまり興味がなくても感動します!
片道4~5時間は大変ですが、ルート上には色んな杉がみられるので飽きません。
ゴールの縄文杉を見たら疲れを忘れました。
帰りは下りなので、以外と楽に戻れます。
