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.
友人と3人でトレッキングに参加しました。雨予報でしたが、ガイドさんが上手く時間配分してくれたこともあり、無事に太鼓岩まで行くことができました。
下山途中から雨が降ってきましたが、最後まで楽しめました。すばらしい景色をたくさん見られてとても嬉しかったです。
早朝出発は、トレッキングしてる人が少なかったのが良かったです。

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.

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!
前日に縄文杉ツアーに行っていたので、このツアーが短く楽に感じてしまいました。

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。

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。
ガイドさん、また会えるかな。さすがでした。あんなふうにすてきに年を取るのもよいかなと思いました。お世話になりました。
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。
娘との最高の思い出が出来ました。ありがとうございました!
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.

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.

This was my first time at Shiratani Unsuikyo. I was unsure about the path and considered hiring a guide, but I also worried that joining a guided tour would mean having to match the pace of others and that I might not be able to take photos freely. I struggled with these thoughts quite a bit. However, in the end, hiring a guide turned out to be a great success.
Our guide, Watanabe, was knowledgeable not only about the mountains but also about plants, and he explained everything in a fun way, mixing in jokes. We were laughing the whole time, to the point where other groups commented, "You all look like you're having so much fun!"
He also taught us photo spots and tips for enjoying the experience, so we were able to capture some Instagram-worthy shots. Additionally, having the guide meant we could get group photos taken, which was a nice touch.
The breaks were well-timed and informative, allowing even a beginner like me to reach Taiko Rock.
I thought I wouldn’t get lost, but there was still snow from a few days prior, making it difficult to walk, and the path was hard to follow. On the day of our visit, there was a woman who had come alone and got lost, and the guide helped her. I really think it's better for those unfamiliar with the mountains to hire a guide.
For lunch, we were treated to warm miso soup and coffee. I was truly grateful to learn that they carried all the hot water and mats for everyone.
If we had climbed on our own, we would have missed many spots, and we might have been exhausted on the snowy path that appeared midway.
It felt more like having a companion to walk with rather than just a guide. They also shared recommendations for sightseeing spots for the next day, and I’m really glad I decided to hire them.

休憩は、説明を兼ねて上手に取ってくれるので、初心者の私でも、太鼓岩まで登る事ができました。
また、道に迷うことは無いと思っていましたが、今回数日前に降った雪が残っていて歩きにくかったし、道がわかりにくい状態だったようで、当日も一人で来ていた女性が道に迷っていて、ガイドさんが助けていました。
やはり山に不慣れな方は、頼んだ方が良いと思います。
お昼には、温かい味噌汁とコーヒーをご馳走になりました。
全員分のお湯やシートを担いで、登っていたんだと知り、本当に感謝の気持ちです。
自分達だけで登っていたら、見過ごしたスポットも沢山あっただろうし、途中から出てきた雪道で、グッタリしていたかも?
道案内というよりは、一緒に歩く仲間という感じかもしれません。
次の日の観光スポットも教えてもらって、
頼んで本当に良かったです。

This is our first trip to Mt. Fuji and we love the trip arranged by Taiji-san. We have no problem to communicate with him because he speak very well in English. And he tried to understand our need before start up the trip. He is kind of caring and understanding person.. Thanks for making this wonderful day to all of us!
Dear Florence, thank you very much for your kind comment. The sky was extremely clear on that day and we could have such good view from all the places we went . Everybody seemed tired at the end as we walked quite a lot. Thank you for sending me the pictures, I will use that for my new profile.

We really had a great time to our visit to Mt. Fuji with Taiji and this is our second time to get our tour arrangement with him. He suggest all the best place to visit aside from the given places to visit. We will definitely contact him again with for our future guests.
Thank you Jon for your comment with the pictures. I was very happy to see you again I will keep on getting more and more data base of the sites and best places to choose for each season and hopefully having more chance in the future.

Dear Izham
I'm very glad to see your comments and five stars.
I'll be with you in anywhere Japan if you have a chance to come to Japan again.
I hope your business will be prosperous forever.
I'm dreaming if I could perform as a Jazz singer in your music program in Malaysia.
Good luck!
Yoshi
