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 was moved! 感動しました!

Reviewed by: あきの

The weather was great, and I enjoyed the best views. Since the start time was early, I was able to leisurely enjoy the scenery at Taiko Rock. It's definitely better to go early in the morning! The guide was a quiet person, kind, and really skilled at taking photos. I was truly, truly happy. Thank you very much.

天気が良く、最高の景色を楽しめました。
開始時間が早いので、ゆっくり太鼓岩での景色を楽しめました。絶対朝早くに行った方がいいです!ガイドさんは物静かな方で、優しくて、とにかく写真撮影がお上手でした。
本当に本当にしあわせでした。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

I was moved by the beautiful forest. 綺麗な森に感動です

Reviewed by: りゃん

I was worried to hear that it was closed due to heavy rain on the day the rainy season started, but the next day I was truly healed by the beautiful moss and forest after the rain cleared up. There was also light rain!

I apologize and thank you for accommodating my various requests regarding the shuttle service. Your flexible response was very helpful.

One thing I thought of is that even if you contact the tour company with details in advance, it doesn't necessarily mean that the guide on the day is aware of that information (or has received the message), so it's better to communicate it again. Of course, they say to inform the guide, but that doesn't alleviate our concerns until the day before, which made me think, "Hmm."

梅雨入りの日は大雨のため閉鎖だったと聞いて心配していましたが、翌日は雨上がりの綺麗な苔と森が見られて本当に癒されました。小雨も降りましたしね!

送迎については色々とワガママを聞いてくださりすみません&ありがとうございました。
柔軟に対応いただき助かりました。

ひとつ思ったのは、事前にツアー会社に細かいことを連絡していても、当日のガイドさんがその内容を把握している(連絡を受けている)とは限らないので、改めて伝えたほうがよいです。もちろん、ガイドに伝えてくださいとは言われますが、それだと前日までこちらの心配事が解消されないので、うーん、と思ってしまいました。

Disappointed with the guide. ガイドにがっかり。

Reviewed by: チャンリー

The guide's voice was just too quiet. It wasn't just because of the heavy rain (and thunderstorm on the way down). It felt like there was no intention to make sure all participants (seven of us, including me) could hear. Even when he was explaining things, I couldn't catch what he was saying at all. While walking, he mentioned not to step on logs or roots because they could be slippery, and since I was second from the front, I could barely hear him, but I’m sure the people in the back couldn’t hear at all. I really wonder what he would do if someone slipped and fell... This is a matter of life and death, so shouldn’t he at least raise his voice to warn everyone about that?

Also, there was no information like how many minutes until the break or that we were almost at Jomon Sugi. It was just endless walking. Everyone was tired; couldn’t he say at least a few encouraging words? My friend, who was struggling with knee pain, finally made it to Jomon Sugi. While other guides were saying, “You did great! Good job!” and high-fiving, our guide was just saying, “Hurry up and line up for a photo!!”

After we safely descended, I heard another guide telling everyone to stretch, and I thought, “You should have said that too!” He really didn’t do his job well.

Ah, it was truly a boring tour. I won’t hire a guide next time. I figured out the walking pace, and this time it felt almost the same whether he was there or not (laughs). What was the guide's name again? Something like Ura... and his first name was Gonta?

I think you shouldn’t expect a fun tour.

とにかくガイドの声が小さい。豪雨(下山は雷雨)の中だからとかの問題ではない。参加者全員(私含め7人)に聞かせる気がまるでない。説明してくれてても何言ってるんだかさっぱり聞き取れなかった。歩いてる時も丸太の上とか根っこにはすべるから乗らないでって私は前から2番目だったから辛うじて聞こえたけど後ろの人は絶対聞こえてないと思う。滑って転げ落ちたらまじでどうする気なんだろう・・・。命にかかわることなんだからそういう部分だけでもしっかり大きな声でみんなに注意を促すべきなんじゃない!?
あと何分で休憩ですとか。あともうちょっとで縄文杉ですよとか何もない。ただひたすら歩くのみ。みんな疲れてるんだから励ましの言葉くらいかけられないのかな?友達は膝が痛い中一生懸命歩いてようやく縄文杉に到着。他のガイドは「よく頑張ったね。お疲れ様ー」って言いながらハイタッチしてるのにうちのガイドときたら、「写真撮るから早く並んで!!」って・・・。
無事下山して他のガイドがストレッチしてくださいねーって言ってるのを聞いてストレッチしたけど、お前も言えよ!って思った。まじで仕事しないおっさんだったな。
あぁ、本当につまらないツアーだった。また行くときはガイド付けないわ。歩くスピードどんなもんか分かったし。今回もほぼいてもいなくても同じだったから(笑)
ガイドの名前何だっけ?浦なんとかっていうおっさん。下の名前はゴンタ?
楽しいツアーは期待しない方がいいと思います。

Local guide 地元のガイドさん

Reviewed by: やまさと

I was taken care of by Mr. Taniyama from Kodama. Since he is from Yakushima, he was able to teach me a lot. We had a trekking group of four pairs and nine guides. The pacing was impressive. I struggled a bit in the Hell's 1-3 blocks, but I managed to reach Jomon Sugi. It started raining around the foot of the mountain, but after that, it was quite hot. Right after we set off, the sole of my shoe came off, and I received some emergency repairs. I was worried since I hadn't used them in a while, and although I tried them on flat ground, it seems they weren't very helpful.

こだまの谷山さんにお世話になりました。
屋久島出身との事で、色々教えて頂けました。
ペア4組にガイドさんの9名でのトレッキング。
ペース配分も流石でした。
地獄の1〜3丁目でバテましたが、なんとか縄文杉まで辿り着けました。
雨も出発した麓くらいで、後は暑いほどでした。
出発後すぐに靴底が剥がれてしまい、応急処置して頂きました。
久しぶりの使用だったので気になっていたのですが(;o;)平坦な道で試したんですが…役に立たなかった様です(;o;)

I was moved! 感動しました!

Reviewed by: 海ちゃん

My first trekking experience!
I hadn't done any intense exercise for a while, so I was honestly a bit anxious, but somehow I managed to go and come back!
I couldn't imagine what it would be like and had some worries, but the guide was very kind, and everyone I was with, as well as the people I passed in the mountains, were all really nice, which made for wonderful memories!
In the great outdoors, I felt a surge of gratitude for everything that is usually taken for granted. The scenery, the air, the greenery, the water, and even the lunch were all so much more beautiful than usual. I was constantly moved by the encouragement I received from people I passed during tough moments!
I did get hit by muscle soreness, but even that became a good memory. Haha!
I definitely want to visit Yakushima again, and next time I want to experience activities by the river and the sea!
I'm really glad I was able to meet the Jomon Sugi, which I had wanted to see at least once in my life, with such a bright and cheerful feeling! Thank you very much!

人生初のトレッキング!
しばらく激しい運動などしてなかったので、正直不安でしたがなんとか行って帰ってこれました…!
どんな感じなのか想像もつかなくて、心配なこともあったのですが
ガイドさんがとても親切でしたし、ご一緒した方々も、山中ですれ違う方々もとても気持ちのいい人たちばかりで素敵な思い出ができました!
大自然の中では当たり前の事すべてに感謝の気持ちが湧いてきて
景色も空気も緑も水もお弁当も普段よりずっと美味しく、辛い時にすれ違う人からもらう応援に救われ感動しっぱなしでした!
やっぱり筋肉痛には襲われましたがそれすらいい思い出となりました。笑
また屋久島には必ず伺いたいと思います、今度は川や海でのアクティビティも体験したいです!
人生のうち、一度は会いたかった縄文杉に、こんなに晴れ晴れとした気持ちで会いに行けて本当に良かったです!ありがとうございました!

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

It was a reassuring trekking experience with an experienced guide. 経験のあるガイドさんで安心のトレッキングでした。

Reviewed by: giraffehakirin

I went to Jomon Sugi. It was the peak of the Golden Week holiday, but thanks to our guide's quick thinking, we had an early pickup at 4 AM. As a result, we were the first at the trailhead and could start our ascent smoothly.

The 10-hour trek was tough, but with regular breaks and the reassurance from our guide, we were able to safely visit Jomon Sugi and return.

Fortunately, we had a sunny day, but it seems like it often rains, so rain gear is essential. Also, snacks are a must!!! It seems that moving around burns a lot of energy, and I ended up eating more snacks than I expected.

While it's possible to go without a guide, I think it's safer for those who are not used to hiking to go with one.

縄文杉までいきました。ゴールデンウイークの超繁忙期でしたが、ガイドさんの機転で、予定より速い4時ピックアップ。お陰で登山口一番乗りで、スムーズに登り始められました。
計10時間のトレッキングはきつかったですが、適度に休憩をいれてくれたのと、ガイドさんの安心感とで、無事に縄文杉を拝んで返ってくることができました。
幸い私たちは晴れた日でしたが、雨の日もおおいみたいなので、レインウエア必須です。あとおやつも必携!!!動いてるとエネルギー消費が激しいのか、予想よりたくさんおやつ食べました。
ガイドさんなしでいくこともできますが、登山になれていないかたは、ガイドさんと一緒の方が安心だと思います。

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 was the best course that was rewarding. やりがいのある最高のコースでした

Reviewed by: かなも

In the morning, I visited Shiratani Unsuikyo, and in the afternoon, I went to Wilson Stump and Jomon Sugi. It was an ambitious course, so I was initially anxious, but the local veteran guide was very kind. The timing was precise, and we arrived almost exactly at the times he communicated. He considered our pacing, so even someone like me, who isn't used to hiking, was able to finish while staying hydrated and nourished. He clearly communicated what not to do, which helped me understand the importance of the rules of the mountains, making it a valuable learning experience. I recommend it for those who are confident in their physical fitness. I don't have a habit of walking, but I usually practice yoga and do moderate aerobic exercise about twice a month. Just for reference.

午前中に白谷雲水峡、午後はウィルソン株、縄文杉のコースでした。欲張りコースなので、始めは不安でしたが、地元のベテランガイドさんがとても親切でした。時間配分が正確で伝えてくれた時間にはほぼ正確に到着していました。ペース配分を考えてくれているので、山慣れしていない私でも水分栄養補給しながら終えることができました。してはいけないことなどもはっきり伝えてくださるので、山のルールの大切さがわかりよい学びにもなりました。体力に自信のある方はお勧めです。私はウォーキングの習慣はありませんが、普段は日常的にヨガ、中度レベルの有酸素運動を月2回ほど行っています。参考までに。

There are issues with the collaboration between the tour company, rental company, and guides. ツアー会社・レンタル会社・ガイドの連携面に問題

Reviewed by: 都内在住

The Shiratani Unsuikyo itself is wonderful, and I was moved by the nature of Yakushima, a UNESCO World Heritage site. However, my honest opinion is that it would have suited our family better to go on our own rather than relying on this tour company.

Initially, I was unaware that the tour company, rental company, and guide were separate organizations. From my perspective, I assumed that all the information I provided through Veltra was being coordinated.

However, when I contacted the guide the day before, I found out that our return flight time had not been communicated, and we had to hastily move up the meeting time.

We also rented some gear, but since that was with a different company, I managed to contact them directly the day before to ensure it arrived on time. However, the rental items were delivered after 8:00 PM the night before, and the rental company instructed us to return them to the guide, but the guide said they could not accept them.

Regarding the guide, since they operate independently, I believe there are individual differences, but the person assigned to our family had low hospitality and looked down on us as beginners in hiking. The explanations were minimal, and despite having a child in elementary school, they proceeded at their own pace without taking sufficient breaks, resulting in a significantly shortened return trip. (Due to the weather and the child's walking speed, we could not reach Taiko Rock.)

So, my straightforward opinion is that it would have been better to explore at our own pace.

白谷雲水峡自体は素晴らしく、世界遺産屋久島の自然に感動しました。
但し、こちらのツアー会社に頼むことはなく、自力で行くほうが私たちの家族には合っていたというのが正直な感想です。

当初は、ツアー会社・レンタル会社・ガイドさんがそれぞれ別の組織であることを知りませんでした。こちらからすればVeltra経由でお伝えした情報は全て連携されているという前提で考えていました。

ところが、実際前日になり、ガイドさんと連絡をとったところ、こちらの帰りの飛行機の時間が伝わっておらず、集合時間を急遽早めることになりました。

またグッズのレンタルをしたのですが、こちらも別会社ということで、前日にこちらから連絡を直接とってなんとか間に合いましたが、前日の20:00過ぎにレンタル品が届くという形でしたし、レンタル会社にはガイドさんに返却するように言われたのですが、ガイドさんからは受け取れないという返事でした。

ガイドさんに関しても、基本的には個人でやられているということで、これは個人差があるのだと思いますが、私たち家族の担当の方はホスピタリティが低く、登山初心者の私たちをどこか見下した態度でした。解説は最低限で、小学校低学年の子供がいるにもかかわらず、自分のペースでどんどん進んでしまい、休憩も十分に取らないまま、予定を大幅に短縮しての帰還になりました。(天候と子供の歩くスピードの関係で太鼓岩に行けませんでした。)

ということで、それであれば自分たちのペースでゆっくり回れば良かったというのが率直な感想です。

Reviewed by: おれんぢ

I participated in the Jomon Sugi trekking the day before, so I was sore all over, but surprisingly, once I started walking, my body moved well. Sunlight filtering through the mossy forest. After climbing a bit more in the somewhat dark mossy forest, the view suddenly opened up, and the green scenery spread out, with a pleasant breeze. We departed at 8:40 and returned by 2:30 PM. When we arrived at Taiko Rock, the guide told us we had plenty of time, so we were able to relax. We had lunch on the way down, and the instant miso soup the guide made was delicious! I would love to visit again in a different season. Thank you for your help.

前日に縄文杉トレッキングに参加していたので、全身筋肉痛でしたが歩き始めると意外と身体が動いて驚きでした。

An unforgettable day! 忘れられない1日!

Reviewed by: まき*ちひ

I'm a beginner in mountain climbing and participated with a friend. It was a tight three-day travel schedule, but since we were going, I wanted to see both Jomon Sugi and Shiratani Unsuikyo, so I signed up for this ambitious course!

First of all... I think some preparation is definitely necessary. Before the trip, I climbed a few mountains in the Tokyo area to check my climbing skills. Since it's a 12-hour walking course, it's better to buy shoes that fit your feet rather than renting them. No matter how fit you are, if you get blisters, you won't be able to walk.

If you take care of your health and prepare well, the guides, who are fun and full of service spirit, will surely provide a wonderful tour! Although we couldn't see the mountain views from Taiko Rock because it was covered in white clouds, we still had a great time. Even the long and challenging paths were enjoyable thanks to the guides' stories and games.

Even if it's not a one-day tour, I definitely recommend using this tour company! I'm sure you'll create wonderful memories. The next day I had muscle soreness, but it became a very good memory. Thank you, Tsugimura-san. I have come to love the mountains even more!

登山初心者です。友人と一緒に参加しました。
弾丸3日間の旅行日程でしたが、せっかく行くなら縄文杉&白谷雲水峡のどっちも見たい‼︎と思い、この欲張りコースに申込みさせて頂きました☆

まず始めに…。
やっぱり多少の事前準備は必要だと思います。私は出発までに東京近郊の山で何回か登山をして自分の登山スキルを確認しました。あと12時間も歩くコースなので、シューズはレンタルより自分の足に合うものを買うべきです。どんなに体力があっても靴擦れしたら歩けなくなってしまいます。
あとは体調を整えて挑めば、楽しくてサービス精神に溢れたガイドさんが、きっと素敵なツアーを催行してくれます!
太鼓岩は真っ白な雲に覆われて山々の景色を見れませんでしたが、そんな時でも楽しませて頂きました。長くて大変な道もガイドさんの話やゲームで楽しく歩けました。
1日ツアーでなくても、ぜひこちらのツアー会社を使ってみて下さい!きっと素敵な想い出ができると思います。
翌日は筋肉痛でしたが、とても良い想い出になりました。
津曲さん、ありがとうございました。

The guide also came directly to the lodging, so I was able to participate in the tour with peace of mind on the day. Thank you very much.
The hike at Taiko Rock was wonderful with clear weather.

アメリカから参加したため、前日の電話連絡等がとりにくく難儀しましたが、ガイドさんが親切で助かりました。 とりあえず事前にこちらから連絡しましたところ宿泊先に迎えの時間について連絡をいただき、またガイドさんも直接宿泊施設に来ていただいたりしたので、当日は安心してツアーに参加することができました。 どうもありがとうございました。
太鼓岩も快晴で素晴らしいハイクとなりました。

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。

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

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。
