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 can't believe how much fun I'm having! こんなに満喫できるなんて!

Reviewed by: こここ

I heard that visiting both Jomon Sugi and Shiratani Unsuikyo in one day is quite a challenging course, but everyone enjoyed it until the end. (All participants were 29-year-old women and beginners in hiking.) Thanks to our guide managing the pace and break timings, it was a great experience.

Also, we had warm tonjiru (pork miso soup) for lunch. It was a cold day, so it really warmed us up. Thank you very much.

If someone I know goes to Yakushima, I will definitely recommend it.

縄文杉と白谷雲水峡どちらも1日で回るのはかなりハードなコースだと聞いていましたが、最後まで全員楽しめました。(全員29歳女性、登山初心者レベル)ペース配分、休憩タイミング等、ガイドさんが管理して下さったおかげです。
また、昼食時に温かい豚汁を頂きました。寒い日でしたので身体に染みました。ありがとうございました。
知人が屋久島へ行くことがあれば、必ずオススメします。

To Koko,
Thank you for your hard work on the one-day trekking course at Jomon Sugi and Shiratani Unsuikyo. I was a bit worried before we set off since I heard everyone was a beginner, but I'm relieved that everyone made it to the finish line safely and energetically.
Whenever you miss Yakushima, please feel free to come back and visit!

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

It was tough, but... 大変でしたが....

Reviewed by: ぐるぐる

Initially, we requested a course to visit Jomon Sugi and Shiratani Unsuikyo in one day, but we received a prior notice and decided to split it into two days considering the weather. In the end, I think this was a good decision. Given our physical stamina and the fact that we had requested a private guide, we were able to walk at our own pace and learned a lot about Yakushima, the history of Yakusugi, and nature in a broader sense. We were able to meet Jomon Sugi safely and return! It was certainly not easy, but after resting for a day, we were able to recover our stamina to walk early the next day at Shiratani Unsuikyo. We progressed comfortably to Taiko Rock, and since there were no other visitors at that time, we could take our time and enjoy the experience. Although we had a different guide from the previous day, we had a great time hearing various stories from a different perspective. I truly felt that learning from the locals is the best! I would love to sign up again when I visit next time.

当初は縄文杉と白谷雲水峡を1日で回るコースをお願いしていましたが、事前に連絡をいただき天候を考えて2日に分けることに。これが結果的に良かったと思います。体力面を考え、プライベートガイドをお願いしていたこともあって、私たちのペースで歩け、屋久島、屋久杉の歴史だけでなく大きな意味での自然についていろいろ教えてもらいながら無事、縄文杉に対面、帰ることが出来ました!決して楽ではありませんでしたが1日寝ることで体力もある程度回復でき翌日の白谷雲水峡も早朝から歩けました。太鼓岩まで無理なく進み、ちょうど他の方がいなかったこともあってゆっくり過ごすことができました。前日とは別のガイドの方でしたが、違った角度からいろいろお話いただき楽しい時間を過ごせました〜地元の方に教えてもらうのが一番だなぁと実感!再訪の際はまた申込したいなと思いました。

Guruguru-sama,

Thank you for your hard work on the 1-day trekking to Jomon Sugi and Shiratani Unsuikyo (over 2 days). Many customers visiting Yakushima usually have a 2-night, 3-day itinerary. If you want to visit both Jomon Sugi and Shiratani Unsuikyo (Taiko Rock), it's better to do both in one day, but it's quite a tough course. If your transportation on the last day is in the afternoon, it would be easier on your body to split it over two days.

This time, two guides were in charge of Jomon Sugi and Shiratani Unsuikyo (Taiko Rock), so it was nice to hear different stories from each guide, wasn't it? Please come back to see Yakushima in a different season as well.

縄文杉1日+白谷雲水峡(2日間)のトレッキング、大変お疲れ様でした。
屋久島に来るお客様は、2泊3日行程が多く、縄文杉にも白谷雲水峡(太鼓岩)にも行きたい場合は、1日で両方回る方が良いですが、
かなりキツイコースですので、最終日の交通手段が昼過ぎであれば、2日間に分けた方が体的にも楽です。
今回は、縄文杉と白谷雲水峡(太鼓岩)を二人もガイドが担当し、それぞれのガイドの話が聞けて良かったのではないでしょうか?
また違う季節の屋久島も見にお越しくださいね。

It's okay for beginners. 初心者でも大丈夫

Reviewed by: 屋久島最高

It was raining, so I started my hike from Shiratani Unsuikyo and got to see the moss-covered forest around dawn! It had a very mystical atmosphere and was amazing! Unfortunately, there was fog from Taiko Rock, but I descended to the tramway and headed to Jomon Sugi. The journey was long and tough, but if you're going to Yakushima, I think it's great that you can visit both in one day.

雨だったので白谷雲水峡から登り始めて、夜が明ける頃の苔むす森を見させてもらいました!とても神秘的な空気で最高でした!太鼓岩からはあいにくの霧でしたが、そこからトロッコ道へ下り、縄文杉へ。道のりは長く大変でしたが、せっかく屋久島に行くなら、どちらも1日で回れるのはかなりいいと思います。

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

I'm glad I went! 行って良かったです❗

Reviewed by: オッシー

This time, I participated with my parents. I was worried whether my elderly parents and I, who had joined the Jomon Sugi tour the day before, would be able to make it to the end, but thanks to our guide, we were able to reach the moss-covered forest safely. The stories along the way were enjoyable, and I feel like I’ve become a bit of a Yakushima expert. However, due to my oversight, I had requested to rent trekking poles when I signed up for the tour, but the reservation didn’t go through properly. On the day of the tour, I borrowed one from the guide, which worked out fine. The guide was really helpful. Thank you!

今回、両親と参加させていただきました。
高齢者の両親と、前日縄文杉ツアーに参加した私たちが最後まで行けるか不安でしたが、ガイドさんの案内で無事に苔むす森まで行くことが出来ました。
また途中でのお話など楽しく、屋久島通に少しはなれたかな?と思います。
ただ、こちらの確認不足ですが、ストックのレンタル依頼をツアーの申込みの時にしたのですが、申込みがうまく出来ていませんでした。
当日、ガイドさんに1本お借りしてなんとかなりました。
ガイドさんには本当に良くしていただきました。

The guide was very enjoyable, the pace was just right, and the advice was spot on, allowing us to proceed smoothly. I participated alone, but the guide was considerate, and the people I was with were nice, making for a very pleasant experience. It would have been even better if we had time for introductions at the beginning since I hardly knew anyone's name despite walking together.

ガイドさんがとても楽しい方で、ペースもちょうど良く、アドバイスも的確で、順調に行ってくることが出来ました。
一人で参加しましたが、ガイドさんがお気遣いくださったり、一緒になった人たちも良い人たちで、楽しく過ごせてとても良かったです。

Everywhere you take a photo looks picturesque. どこを撮っても絵になる

Reviewed by: 匿名希望00

The day after visiting Jomon Sugi, I had to return on the evening flight, so I signed up for an early morning departure to reach Taiko Rock. Since there were only two participants, including myself, they arranged for a 6 AM departure instead of the scheduled 5 AM, allowing us to start just as it was getting light without needing headlamps. There were few people, making it easy to walk.

Although there were many clouds, the sun was shining, and it was a pleasant trek. There is a famous spot called "Mossy Forest," but the entire Shiratani area was a magnificent moss world, not just that particular place. Taiko Rock had a fantastic view, and I felt it was worth coming all the way here. It would be a real shame to turn back at the Mossy Forest, so I highly recommend going all the way to Taiko Rock.

縄文杉の翌日でしたが、夕方便で帰らなければならず、太鼓岩まで行きたかったので早朝出発で申し込みました。
参加者が私ともう一人しかいなかったためか、一応5時出発の予定と書いてありますが、6時出発にアレンジしていただき、ヘッドランプを使わずちょうど明るくなってきたころの出発で、人も少なくて歩きやすかったです。
雲は多かったですが日差しもあり、気持ちの良いトレッキングでした。
「苔むす森」という有名な場所がありますが、特にそこに限らず白谷全体が見事な苔ワールドでした。
太鼓岩はとても見晴らしが良くて、ここまで来てよかったと思える場所でした。
苔むす森で引き返すのは本当にもったいないので、ぜひ太鼓岩まで行ってほしいです。

It was amazing. 最高でした

Reviewed by: 匿名希望00

My first visit to Yakushima was for the Jomon Sugi trekking, which I had been wanting to do for a long time. Since I don’t exercise at all, I was quite nervous about the 22 km round trip and 10-hour trek, but it turned out that 16 km of it was on a flat trolley road with minimal elevation change, and the actual mountain trail was only about 6 km, so it wasn't as tough as I had imagined.

On the middle day of the three-day weekend in November, the weather was perfect—cloudy with occasional sunshine after the rain, neither too hot nor too cold. I believe the guide's pacing was also perfect. There were seven participants, all women including myself, and the guide provided warnings about slippery areas and steep inclines in advance, so we were able to complete the trek without any injuries.

The only disappointment was that the fog was so thick at the top that my photos of Jomon Sugi turned out completely white. Some of the guides mentioned that they actually prefer the majestic feel of Jomon Sugi in the fog, but since it was my first time, I would have liked to see it clearly. However, it didn’t rain, and all the other cedars aside from Jomon Sugi looked beautiful in photos, and I could see Jomon Sugi clearly with my own eyes, so wanting more might be a bit greedy.

By the way, most of the guides in Yakushima work freelance, and only a handful are affiliated with any particular company. It seems they are dispatched from Company A one time and Company B another time, so choosing based on the reputation of a specific company's guides might not be very meaningful. However, the guide for the tour I participated in was excellent, and the other guides I passed along the way seemed to be enjoying themselves, so there’s probably not much to worry about in that regard.

初めての屋久島、絶対行きたいと思っていた縄文杉トレッキングでした。
普段全く運動をしないので、往復22㎞、10時間のトレッキングにびびりまくってましたが、うち16㎞はトロッコ道であまり高低差がなく、実際の山道は6㎞程度だったため、思ったほどではありませんでした。
11月の3連休の中日、雨上がりで曇り時々晴れ、暑くもなく寒くもなくという好条件で、ガイドの方のペース配分がまた完璧だったおかげと思います。
参加者は私を含めて女性ばかり7人でしたが、滑りやすいところや傾斜の急なところは事前に注意喚起して下さり、一人のけが人を出すこともなく全員完歩することができました。ポイントポイントで丁寧に説明もして頂けました。
ひとつだけ残念だったのは、上の方の霧がすごくて、縄文杉の写真が真っ白になっちゃったことくらいでしょうか。
ガイドさんたちの中には、霧の中の縄文杉の方が厳かな感じで好きだという方もいらっしゃるようですが、初めてだとやはりくっきりはっきりした姿が見たかったかも。
でも、雨も降らなかったし、縄文杉以外の杉は全てきれいに写真に納まったし、縄文杉も肉眼ではきれいに見えたしで、これ以上望むのは贅沢かもしれません。
ちなみに、屋久島のガイドさんたちは、ほとんどがフリーで働いてて、どこかの会社に所属している方はほんの一握りなのだそうです。ある時はA社から、ある時はB社から派遣されて、みたいな感じのようなので、「この会社のガイドさんの評判が良い」とか「悪い」とかで選ぶのはあまり意味がないみたいです。
ただ、私が参加したツアーのガイドさんもとても良かったですし、道すがらすれ違う他のガイドさんたちもみなさん楽しそうな感じでしたので、そこはあまり心配ないのかも。

I recently participated in a tour and went trekking to Jomon Sugi. Thanks to the guide's attentive care and thorough, interesting explanations at key points, I was able to enjoy the approximately 10-hour journey!

It was a very valuable experience! とても貴重な体験となりました!

Reviewed by: mik

I participated with two female friends. We had very little experience with hiking and trekking, so we had a lot of anxiety, but it was helpful that they called us the day before, allowing us to ask questions. On the day of the hike, we were in a group of seven, and since the path was narrow, we had to walk in a line. It was a bit difficult to hear the guide's voice when we were at the back, but they adjusted the walking pace and break timings for us, so it was manageable. The round trip took 11 hours on the mountain trail, and by the end, my legs felt like stiff sticks, but the sight of the moss-covered rocks, fallen trees, and the presence of a 2000-year-old cedar that appeared when the fog cleared was very impressive. I didn't know how to get on the hiking bus or how to manage the time, so I'm really glad I requested a guided tour. If I have the opportunity to visit again someday, I plan to use their services once more.

友人と女子2人で参加しました。
登山やトレッキングの経験がほとんどなく、たくさん不安がありましたが、前日にお電話を下さり、質問が出来たので助かりました。当日は7人グループで、道が狭く一列に並んで歩く為、どうしても後ろだとガイドさんの声が聞こえず、少し苦労しましたが、歩くペースや休憩のタイミングなどは合わせて下さったので、大丈夫でした。往復11時間の山道、最後は足がカチカチの棒でしたが、苔茂る岩や倒木の光景、霧が晴れた所に現れた樹齢2000年を超える杉の存在感はとても印象的でした。登山バスの乗り方や、時間配分の取り方も分からなかったので、ガイドツアーをお願いして本当に良かったです。いつかまた訪問する機会があれば、その時も利用させて頂こうと思います。

The guide was not good. ガイドさんが悪かった。

Reviewed by: Kana

Please avoid tours from this company. Even if they are a bit more expensive, choose tours from other companies. I had a sad and painful experience due to the poor guide. The guide walked so fast that they left all eight participants behind. The explanations were only at the level found in a guidebook (and the voice was so quiet that more than half of the people couldn't hear), and the responses to our questions were inadequate. Without any explanation about additional fees, they lent us equipment and later asked for payment. The difference compared to other guides around us (who were engaging and provided plenty of explanations) was so stark that I became sad halfway through.

When I later communicated this to the roadside station tourism company, they said it was my fault, and there was no proper apology or even a refund for the equipment rental fees. Now I understand why they are cheaper than others. This company's tours should be avoided. I never expected that a once-in-a-lifetime experience would turn out like this.

この会社のツアーは避けてください。少し高くても、他の会社さんのツアーにしてください。とにかく、ガイドさんが悪くて悲しいつらい思いをしました。ツアー参加者8人全員を置いていくほど速く歩く。ガイドブックに載っている程度の説明しかぜず(しかも声が小さく、半分以上の人が聞こえない)、こちらの質問には適当な返事。料金がかかる等の説明なく、道具を貸して後で金払えと言ってくる。とにかく、周りの別のガイドさん(声掛けも説明もたくさんされている方々ばかりでした)との差がひどくて、途中から悲しくなってきました。
道の駅観光さんに後日上記のことを伝えると、私側が悪いそうで、適切な謝罪もなく、道具貸出の料金返金すらありませんでした。他より安い理由がわかりました。この会社のツアーは避けるべきです。一生に一度の経験が、こんな経験になるとは予想していませんでした。

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

Rainy Jomon Sugi 雨の縄文杉

Reviewed by: yasmine

It rained continuously from departure to arrival. Initially, I planned to hike from Shiratani Unsuikyo to Jomon Sugi and then to the Arakawa Trailhead, but the trolley path was too monotonous, so I decided to do a round trip in Shiratani Unsuikyo. On the way back, the river was swollen, making for a thrilling crossing. The guide was a bit older, but a veteran, so I felt safe leaving it to him. I was very grateful for his thoughtful care during lunch and breaks!

The next day, I was scheduled to hike Mount Miyanoura, but the guide advised, "It's better to skip it because the rain continues and it's dangerous," so we canceled this time. I would like to request the same guide when I go again next time.

出発~到着までずっと雨。当初白谷雲水峡~縄文杉~荒川登山口の予定でしたが、トロッコ道があまりに単調なので白谷雲水峡にピストン。帰りは川も増水していてスリリングな渡渉になりました。ガイドは少々年配ですが、ベテランガイドさんで、安心しておまかせしていました。昼食時や休憩時もさりげない心遣いに感謝感激!
翌日、宮之浦岳登山の予定でしたが、ガイドさんが『雨が続いて危険だからやめた方がいいよ』と言われたので、今回は中止しました。次回行ったらまたガイドをお願いしたいです。

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

tour transfer

Reviewed by: Emerson

Took awhile to locate the guide at the port. Would have been easier to find with a more prominent sign. We had 7 people with luggage which completely filled the van. Ended up taking the luggage to our hotel first before starting the tour. Despite the somewhat rocky start due to the van size for our party we ended up having a good day. I would suggest no more than 5 people for that size van when you consider the luggage. The guide was wonderful and went out of her way to ensure we had a good tour and lunch spot. Would do again but with less people.

Dear Emerson, thank you very much for booking with us and all apologizes for the inconvenience whit the size of the van.
The biggest car can actually fit all luggage you had. However we've mismanaged and brought you the second biggest van. We are now operating all tours from Yokohama (osanbashi terminal) using the largest car, but please excuse us again and thank you for your honest comment.

Here's the message from your tour guide Akemi

It was really a nice to meet you and I am glad that you enjoyed the trip after all

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'm tired! 疲れた!

Reviewed by: ユウキ

Since I had a short stay, I chose the Shiratani Unsuikyo & Taiko Rock & Jomon Sugi greedy course. I knew it was meant for physically fit people, but I thought I could manage. However, it really is not suitable for anyone who isn't in great shape! I was still okay in the first half, but on the way back in the second half, my knees started to hurt, and it was tough. I was so exhausted that I couldn't even feel moved when I saw Jomon Sugi. I didn't even have the energy to take photos; all I felt was tiredness and pain in my legs. Let's choose a course that suits our abilities!

滞在日数が少なかったので、白谷雲水峡&太鼓岩&縄文杉のよくばりコースにしました。
体力のある人向けとは分かっていましたが、なんとかなるだろうと選んだのですが
ホントに体力ある人しか選んじゃダメですね!
前半はまだ余裕があったのですが、後半帰り道ヒザが痛くなり、辛かったです。
余裕がなさすぎて、縄文杉を見ても全く感動できなかったほど。
写真を、撮る余裕もなく、疲れたのと、足が痛いのだけでした。
身の丈に合ったコースを選びましょう!

Thank you for your submission about your experience. Many customers visiting Yakushima come for a 2-night, 3-day stay. If you want to see both Jomon Sugi and Shiratani Unsuikyo, this course is recommended, but it can be quite challenging if you're not physically fit. Next time you visit, please consider changing the season and either walk each course one by one or explore other courses that you haven't visited yet.

体験談への投稿、ありがとうございます。
屋久島に来島するお客様は、2泊3日で来られる方が多く、縄文杉も白谷雲水峡も見たい場合は、
このコースがお勧めですが、体力がないと、ただただ辛いだけになってしまいます。
また次回お越しの際には、時期を変え、また1つ1つのコースを歩くか、他に訪れていないコースにお越しください。

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

I was able to meet the Jomon Sugi, which has been my dream. 夢だった縄文杉にあえた

Reviewed by: こだま

Since it was a veteran guide, we were able to finish safely until the end. However, because they were experienced, I felt that the focus was more on safety and efficiently reaching the destination rather than on the quality of the guiding and entertaining the customers. I believe the enjoyment of trekking to Jomon Sugi depends on the guide, but overall, it was a lot of fun. Thank you very much.

ベテランガイドの方だったので安全に最後まで終えることができました。
しかしベテランということもあってガイドの質、お客様を楽しませるということより、安全面や順調に効率よく目的地に辿り着くことに重きを置いていると感じました。
ガイドさんで縄文杉のトレッキングの楽しさは決まると思うのですが、トータルではとても楽しかったです。ありがとうございました。

When I arrived at Awa Port, I received a confirmation call from the guide about tomorrow's trekking. Since I had rented some gear, they brought it to my accommodation around 9:00 PM.

10/7
Departure was at 4:20. The guide picked me up by car at the accommodation. We drove along a winding mountain road and arrived at the entrance of Shiratani Unsuikyo. It was drizzling a bit, so we had breakfast in the car. After breakfast, I paid 1,000 yen at the entrance of Shiratani Unsuikyo, and the trekking began! At Shiratani Unsuikyo, famous for its Forest of the Mononoke, the guide had prepared finger puppets of Kodama, which made for some photogenic moments. The weather cleared up at Taiko Rock, and we were able to enjoy a stunning view! At Wilson Stump, I saw a heart shape. We had lunch after seeing Jomon Sugi. For lunch, the guide prepared tonjiru (pork miso soup). After that, we descended the mountain. Around 3:00 PM, the guide gave me jelly and tankan juice. We proceeded along the trolley path and safely arrived at the Arakawa Trailhead. I took the bus at 4:30 PM and reached the accommodation by 6:00 PM.

〈Impressions〉
- It was very fulfilling and fun! I was worried about covering everything in one day, but with the stamina of a woman in her 20s, it's totally fine even if you don't usually exercise!
- The guide's hospitality was amazing! I don't know if it was personal, but they also gave me tonjiru and dessert. They took a lot of photos, which made for great memories! I was really happy to take a picture with Kodama in the Forest of the Mononoke!!
- I was able to sightsee efficiently! The guide taught us about history and nature. I thought it would be tough to deal with the sweat before heading home if I participated in a half-day tour on the second day.

安房港に着いたら、ガイドから明日のトレッキングについての確認電話があった。
レンタルグッズを借りていたので21:00頃に宿まで持って来てくれた。
10/7
出発は4:20。宿までガイドが車で迎えに来てくれた。
くねくねした山道を進み、白谷雲水峡入り口についた。
少し雨が降っていたので、車内で朝食を頂いた。
朝食後、白谷雲水峡入り口で1,000円支払い、トレッキングスタート!
もののけの森で有名な白谷雲水峡では、ガイドが指人形のこだまを用意してくれていてフォトジェニックが起こった。
太鼓岩では天気が回復し、絶景を見ることができた!
ウィルソン株ではハートをみた。
縄文杉をみてお昼を食べた。
お昼ではガイドが豚汁を用意してくれた。
その後下山。15:00頃にガイドがゼリーとたんかんジュースをくれた。
トロッコ道を進み、無事に荒川登山口についた。
16:30発のバスに乗り、宿には18:00ついた。

〈感想〉
・とても充実して楽しかった!
1日で巡ることに不安があったが、20代女性の体力があれば普段運動をしていなくても大丈夫!
・ガイドのおもてなしが凄かった!
個人的か分からないが、豚汁やデザートもくれた。また写真もたくさん撮ってくれていい思い出になった!もののけの森でこだまと撮れて本当嬉しかった!!
・効率的に観光できた!
ガイドが歴史や自然について教えてくれた点。
2日目に半日ツアーに参加した場合、帰宅前の汗の処理が大変だと思った点。

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 indulged myself and was able to fully enjoy the beautiful scenery. 欲張りしても、綺麗な景色を満喫できました

Reviewed by: kbys

It was a 24 km trekking tour from Jomon Sugi to Taiko Rock to Shiratani Unsuikyo.
We were guided along the entrance while walking the trolley path, enjoying the highlights.
On the way there, we fully enjoyed the unique cedars in nature, and we had a private moment at the Wilson stump, taking plenty of photos.
It was great to see Jomon Sugi before it got crowded.
On the way back, while climbing Tsujitoge, we were able to see wild monkeys and deer up close, which was a rare experience.
We were also introduced to a location that inspired a Studio Ghibli work along the way, adding to the sense of value in the experience.
We were blessed with good weather, so the view from Taiko Rock was amazing.
The area between Taiko Rock and Shiratani Unsuikyo had fresh greenery and streams, and the green illuminated by the light from the shade of the trees was beautiful.
I also enjoyed the return trip from Shiratani Unsuikyo.
I imagined that a long trek might be tough, but both the way there and the return were filled with excitement as we enjoyed the sights.
It may be greedy, but I think it was three times more enjoyable.

縄文杉→太鼓岩→白谷雲水峡の24㌔のトレッキングツアーでした
入口からトロッコ道を歩きながら、見所を案内して頂きました
行きに自然の中で特徴のある杉を満喫、
ウィルソン株も貸し切りのようなタイミングで、写真撮り放題
縄文杉も混む前でよかったです
帰り途中から辻峠を登っている途中、野生の猿や鹿も
間近で見れ、貴重な体験でした
辻峠の途中にジブリ作品のモデルになった場所も紹介
してもらえ、通り抜けしたお得感も味わえました
天候に恵まれたので、太鼓岩からの景色は最高でした
太鼓岩から白谷雲水峡は新緑も沢もあり、涼しく
木陰からの光に生える緑が綺麗でした
白谷雲水峡からの帰り道も楽しめました
長時間のトレッキングは大変かなと想像していましたが
行きも抜け道も帰りも、見所を満喫しているワクワク感で
欲張りだけど、3倍楽しめると思います

I had a great time on my trip to Yakushima. 楽しかった屋久島旅行

Reviewed by: アシタカとサン

It was my first trip to Yakushima. I was torn between the Jomon Sugi course and the Shiratani Unsuikyo course, but I found a course that allows you to experience both in one day. I was a bit anxious about trekking from 4 AM to 6 PM, but thanks to our guide, I was able to enjoy the forest of Yakushima, where the Kodama (tree spirits) are said to reside. I took a lot of photos and created wonderful memories! If I go to Yakushima again, I would love to request the same guide. Thank you for the wonderful experience!

初めての屋久島旅行でした。縄文杉コースか白谷白雲峡コースか迷っていたところ、この2コースを1日で回れるコースを見つけました。4時から18時にかけてトレッキングをするのは不安でしたが、ガイドさんのお陰でこだまのいる屋久島の森を味わうことができました。たくさん写真を撮って頂き、素敵な思い出ができました!また屋久島で行くのであれば同じガイドさんにお願いしたいです。素敵なありがとうございました!!

Breathtaking scenery! 感動の景色!

Reviewed by: たねよ

The day before it rained, so I was worried about the weather, but luckily it only drizzled. Moreover, because of that, there was a rainbow in the view from Taiko Rock! Waking up at four in the morning and walking for nearly half a day was quite tough, but it was worth it.

前日が雨だったので天気が心配でしたが、運よく小雨程度で済みました。しかもそのおかげで太鼓岩からの景色に虹が!!朝四時起きで半日近くあるくのはなかなかきつかったですが、それだけの価値はありました。

I participated in a trekking tour with my 70-year-old mother. I was worried about whether she could keep up and reach Taiko Rock, but the guide was attentive to our pace and provided enjoyable commentary, allowing us to finish the trek happily! My mother was very grateful. The girl who trekked with us was also kind, and we were able to have a fun experience together. Thank you very much!

70歳の母と二人でトレッキングに参加しました。
母がついていけるか太鼓岩まで行けるか心配でしたが、ガイドさんがゆっくりと私たちのペースを見ながら楽しいトークを交えて案内をしていただき楽しくトレッキングを終えられました‼
母がかなり感謝してました✨
一緒にトレッキングしてくれた女の子も優しく、楽しく終えることができました
ありがとうございました‼
