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 mysterious! 神秘的でした！

Reviewed by: Ayumi

During my first visit to Yakushima, I wanted to see as much as possible in my short two-night, three-day stay, so I chose this challenging course. (laughs) I had only done a six-hour mountain trek once before and had no experience, and since I usually work in an office, I was filled with anxiety, but I managed to get through it!

Unfortunately, the weather on the day in Yakushima was rainy all day, with temperatures around 3° to 5° near the summit, and the footing was somewhat poor. There were several times I thought I couldn't go on! However, the sense of accomplishment after walking for 12 hours was immense.

Even with my Gore-Tex rainwear, I ended up getting wet inside, so I was really glad I brought a change of clothes.

The guide was very helpful, sharing information about Yakushima and pointing out highlights along the way. That day, my group had the tour all to ourselves!

Other guides were handing out snacks, so there might be some differences depending on the guide (laughs).

When it was raining, the view from Taiko Rock was completely obscured, and everything was white. That was a bit disappointing, but it was definitely worth seeing with my own eyes.

I noticed a few people from other tours who had to retire along the way, so I think whether you can complete it or not varies by individual. However, if you can handle a six-hour mountain climb, I believe you can reach the goal without retiring.

As for Jomon Sugi, it is now surrounded by nets, and you can only see it from a very far distance, which was disappointing.

I ran into some local guides at a bar, and they mentioned that this course is chosen by only about 20 out of 300 people, making it an athlete's course (laughs). If you're considering this, keep that in mind and prepare yourself, and you might find it manageable!

Next time, I want to take my time and enjoy the nature of Yakushima even more, as it is such a wonderful place!

初めての屋久島で、二泊三日という短い滞在の中、できるだけ多く見たいと思い、こちらの過酷なコースを選択しました。（笑）
トレッキング経験は6時間程度の山を1度したきり、全くなく、普段はオフィスワークな為、不安しかありませんでしたが、何とかなりました‼︎

当日の屋久島の天気はあいにくの一日中雨で、気温も山頂付近で3°〜5°とゆう悪天候の中、足場も多少悪く、何度かもう無理！と思いましたが、12時間歩いた後の達成感は、非常に大きいです。

ゴアテックスの上下レインウェアでさえ、無力で中は濡れてしまったので、着替えを持っていって本当に助かりました。

ガイドさんも屋久島のことや、歩きながら見どころなどを伝えていただいて、ありがたかったです。
この日は、私のグループだけで貸切でした！

他のガイドさんは、差し入れなどを配ったりしていたので、ガイドさんによって個人差はあるかもしれません（笑）

雨などが降っていると、太鼓岩からの景色は全く見えず、真っ白でした。
そこが少し残念でしたが、自分の目で見る価値はかなりあります。

途中すれ違う際に、他のツアーの方でリタイアされる方も何名かいらっしゃったので、できるかできないかは、個人差があるかなと思いますが、6時間程度の山登りができる方であれば、リタイアすることもなく、ゴールできると思います(^^)

縄文杉までは、ネットが張られていて、パンフレットなどで見る距離感ではなく、非常に遠くからしか見れなくなっているので、そこが残念でした。

地元のガイドさん達と飲み屋で遭遇しましたが、こちらのコースは、300人中20人程度しか選ばないアスリートコースだそうです（笑）
迷われている方はそれを踏まえて覚悟して行くと、頑張れるかと思います！

今度はもっとゆっくり余裕を持って、屋久島の自然を見たいなと思うくらい、素敵な場所でした‼︎

On the day, you can discuss the destinations and dining options, but I think it's more efficient for those who apply to have a plan prepared in advance. The course was Kinkaku-ji → Arashiyama and Togetsukyo (photo opportunities only) → Tenryu-ji and the garden → Bamboo Grove → Lunch (Tenkaippin) → Nishiki Market → Kiyomizu-dera → JR Kyoto Station. I think this is a great service for entertaining foreigners. I would like to use this service again next time. Thank you very much!

The sense of accomplishment after the spiciness is the best! 辛さの後の達成感は最高！

Reviewed by: 53才母

My trip to Kyushu was for the purpose of meeting acquaintances in Fukuoka and Kagoshima, and my daughter said, "At your age, this might be your last chance, so let's go to Yakushima!" This made me feel anxious, especially since I only walk 3 to 4 times a week, but it marked the beginning of our travel plans, which included a one-day ambitious course tour to Jomon Sugi, Taiko Rock, and Kumoi Gorge.

Climbing the stairs without handrails before reaching Jomon Sugi, I experienced an overwhelming sense of anxiety and despair as my legs felt like they were turning to stone! I kept worrying about when I should declare my retirement to avoid inconveniencing the other members and ruining the fun of the tour. However, with everyone's encouragement, I finally reached Jomon Sugi, and when I saw the breathtaking view from Taiko Rock, I was so moved that tears flowed. I was also able to visit Kumoi Gorge.

Even with the delayed descent time for my sake, everyone was kind and accommodating, and we were blessed with wonderful weather. I was able to connect with nature and finish the Yakushima tour with the best memories. I want to thank the fun couple, the kind pair, and our guide, who worried about me throughout the trip. I truly apologize for any inconvenience I caused. Thanks to everyone's cooperation, I had the best trip with my daughter. I'm so glad I participated. Thank you very much.

福岡と鹿児島の知人に会う目的の為の九州旅行だった私に娘が「お母さんの年齢ならLastチャンスになるだろうから屋久島へも行こう！」という一言で、週3～4回のウォーキングだけの私にとって不安でいっぱいでしたが、縄文杉・太鼓岩・雲水峡の1日よくばりコースツアーも含めた旅行計画の始まりでした。

縄文杉手前の手すりのない登り階段で、足が棒の様にかたまって動けなくなるという、生まれて始めて味わった不安と絶望感！！
他のメンバーに迷惑になって楽しいツアーを台無しにしてはいけないと思い、いつ自分からリタイア宣言をするべきか？と悩み続けて歩く道のりでした。
皆の励ましに支えられながら縄文杉にたどり着き、太鼓岩で絶景を見た時は、涙が流れる程感動しました。雲水峡にも行く事が出来ました。

私の為に遅れた下山時間にも、皆さん心良く対応してくださり、不思議な程天候にも恵まれ、大自然にふれる事が出来、最高の思い出になる屋久島ツアーを終える事が出来ました。楽しい御夫婦、優しいカップル、ずっと心配させたガイドの局さん、迷惑かけて本当に申し訳ありませんでした。皆さんの協力のお陰で娘との最高の旅が出来た事、感謝しています。
参加してよかったです。ありがとうございました。

We enjoyed a second wonderful day on our visit to Japan with our guide Taiji. After a very long day visiting Mt. Fuji, we embarked on a city tour of Tokyo by planning a more leisurely pace. Starting the day by introducing Taiji to his first "Costco experience" was a fun and relaxing way to wind down from the previous day, then we quickly got back into busy mode for the rest of the day until dinnertime. Taiji adjusted quickly on the fly to our fickle plans but managed to combine great food, sightseeing, and shopping into one full and memorable day, including extra trips back to our place to drop off some of our shopping bags! Thank you so much again for showing us a great time in Tokyo, Taiji. We will certainly be back soon!

Experiencing the beauty of nature. 自然の素晴らしさを実感

Reviewed by: ヒロユキ

I'm really glad I participated. It was a tough course that covered Jomon Sugi and Unsuikyo in one day, but I think anyone who regularly exercises or enjoys walking or running can join, regardless of age.

I was able to feel the grandeur of nature and that everything in the natural world supports each other in life.

I was truly fortunate with the weather, my tour companions, and our guide.

One thing to be prepared for is the weather. If it rains, this tough course could be really challenging.

However, the sense of achievement when you reach the bottom is incredible. There’s a feeling that only those who participate can truly understand.

本当に参加して良かったです。1日で縄文杉と雲水峡を周るハードなコースでしたが、日頃から少し体を動かしてる人や歩いたり走ったりする事が好きな人なら、特に年齢に関係なく参加できると思います。
大自然の雄大さや自然の中にある物全てが支え合って生きているんだと感じる事ができました。
天候にも恵まれ、ツアーの仲間にも恵まれ、ガイドさんにも恵まれた事も本当に良かったです。
一つだけ覚悟しないといけないのは、天候だと思います。もし雨だと、このハードなコースは本当にキツイかも知れませんね。
でも、下山した時の達成感は素晴らしいものがあります。本当に参加した人にしか分からない感動がありますよ。

Jomon Sugi Trekking 縄文杉トレッキング

Reviewed by: 長岡朋恵

I went to Jomon Sugi on my first trekking experience. Since Yakushima was a place I had always wanted to visit, I applied without much thought because I really wanted to see Jomon Sugi.

At 4:30 in the morning, I was picked up by the guide and transferred by car and bus to the trailhead, where we did some warm-up exercises before starting the hike.

The first part was on a flat trolley path, so I felt a bit relieved that it wasn't uphill! Once we reached the mountain path, it was all uphill from there. There were many wooden steps. As we went up and down repeatedly, by the time we reached the Wilson stump, I was at my physical limit... I couldn't even talk or take pictures, and I regretted joining this tour so easily.

However, as I got closer to Jomon Sugi, I was encouraged by greetings from those passing by and words like "You're almost there!" and somehow made it to the destination!! I experienced a sense of achievement like never before.

Personally, the return on the trolley path was really tough. Still, I was able to reach the goal without injury, thanks to our strict yet charming guide. When we reached the finish line, we even took a commemorative photo together!

初めてのトレッキング体験で、縄文杉に行きました。
ずっと行ってみたかった屋久島だったので、どうしても縄文杉を見てみたくてあまり考えずに申し込みました。

朝の４時半。
ガイドさんに迎えに来ていただいて登山口まで車とバスを乗り継ぎ、
準備体操していざ登山スタート。

まずは平坦なトロッコ道だったので、登りじゃないんだ！と少し安心しました。
山道にたどり着くとそこからはひたすら山道です。
木造の階段が多かったです。
アップダウンを繰り返しつつ、ウィルソン株に着いたときには、体力の限界を迎えてました…
会話も出来ず、写真も撮る余裕もなく、安易にこのツアーに参加したことを後悔していました。

ただ、縄文杉が近付くにつれて、すれ違う方との挨拶やもう少しですよ！の言葉に励まされて、なんとか到達！！
今までにない達成感を味わいました。

個人的には、帰りのトロッコ道が本当にきつかったです。
それでも怪我なくゴールできたのは、厳しくもチャーミングなガイドさんのおかげです。
ゴールしたときは一緒に記念撮影もしていただきました‼︎

I recommend this for those who have confidence in their physical strength but are short on time. 時間は無いけど体力には自信がある、という方にお勧め

Reviewed by: terminus

I decided to participate in this tour because I thought it was the only way to see Jomon Sugi and Shiratani Unsuikyo in a 2-night, 3-day itinerary. The day before, due to a landslide, access to the Arakawa trailhead was blocked, and it was uncertain if we could cross the river at Shiratani Unsuikyo because of rising water levels. Despite this situation, I was picked up at my accommodation at 4 AM and we set off. In the end, it was definitely the right decision to participate. Although there was a light drizzle at the beginning, it cleared up beautifully in the second half, and I was able to fully enjoy Taiko Rock, Wilson's stump, and Jomon Sugi.

The guide was also incredibly professional and wonderful. However, due to the aforementioned landslide, we had to take a route from Shiratani Unsuikyo over Tsuji Pass and then along the tramway to Jomon Sugi, returning the same way, which meant we had to traverse over 20 km of mountain trails in nearly 13 hours. I think it would be tough for those without much stamina. Normally, the route that leads to the Arakawa trailhead would allow for an earlier return by about an hour, but even so, you would need the stamina to walk for nearly 12 hours continuously.

2泊3日の旅程で縄文杉と白谷雲水峡を見るにはこれしかないと思い参加しました. 前日土砂崩れで荒川登山口方面が通行止めになってしまい, 白谷雲水峡の方も増水で沢が渡れるか行って見ないと分からない、という状況のなか早朝4時に宿まで迎えに来て貰い出発. 結果としては参加して大正解で, 序盤こそ小雨がパラつきましたが後半は綺麗に晴れて、太鼓岩もウィルソン株も縄文杉も全て満喫できました. ガイドの方もプロフェッショナリズム溢れる方で非常に素晴らしかったです

ただ前述の土砂崩れのために白谷雲水峡から辻峠を越えてトロッコ道から縄文杉に向かい, 帰りはまた峠を越えて白谷雲水峡から帰ってくるというコースになってしまい, 13時間近くかけて20km強の山道を踏破する必要があったため, 体力が無い方は厳しいと思いました. 通常の荒川登山口に抜けるコースだと1時間は早く帰れるようですが, それでも12時間近く歩き続けられる体力が必要です.

This is my second visit to Yakushima this year. I couldn't resist visiting Shiratani Unsuikyo and Taiko Rock again after just six months.

Hiking through the green forest with a refreshing breeze and dappled sunlight was wonderful. The view from Taiko Rock, with a rainbow arcing across the sky, was truly beautiful.

Once again, I had a reliable guide accompanying me, which allowed me to enjoy the hike with peace of mind. Thank you, guide Kyoku.

Beyond my imagination! It was the best birthday ever!!! 想像以上！最高の誕生日になりました！！！

Reviewed by: もっぴ

To celebrate my 30th birthday, I decided to see Jomon Sugi and participated with my sister on the day of my birthday. I usually don’t hike, so I was worried about my physical stamina, but I was able to enjoy it! The tour had a group of seven women, which seemed to be a larger number. I was also concerned about the 4 AM meeting time, but it was great that we just had to wait in front of our accommodation to be picked up. Although the guide on the day was different, we had a brief meeting the day before.

We went around to pick up the members and switched to a large bus at the Yakusugi Nature Museum bus stop, due to car regulations. Here, we sat in a long line while waiting for breakfast. There were several times we had to sit on the ground during breaks, and each time, the guide lent us cushion seats. At the Arakawa Trailhead, we introduced ourselves lightly and started climbing right away. Since the guide warmed up the atmosphere, it was easier to talk to others afterward.

For a while after entering, we walked on an easy path, but since we were moving at a slow pace, the guide asked us early on about our preferences. Since time was limited, if we wanted to take our time for photos, we couldn’t take more time for explanations, and if we wanted to hear a lot of stories, we needed to pick up the pace. We expressed our desire to continue at this pace while taking photos, so the guide said, “I’ll answer any questions you have, so feel free to ask anytime.” In fact, the guide actively shared information about plant names and history that we were interested in, so we were very satisfied, as we could take photos without feeling rushed.

The guide also informed us in advance about the tough sections, not just to scare us but to keep us motivated, which I think contributed to our enjoyable hiking experience. Additionally, being able to learn new things, receiving explanations about dangerous areas and how to avoid them, and relying on the guide for timekeeping allowed us to fully enjoy the experience. After walking in the rain for a long time, I was truly grateful when they prepared warm miso soup for lunch.

Moreover, our guide let each of us take turns leading the way once we were on a good path on the way back. Until it was my turn, I thought of this plan as just “hmm,” but it was the best part! Since we were just descending, the feeling of the scenery rushing towards us was enjoyable, and the view was so beautiful that I still feel moved when I think back on it. Even after returning home, when I close my eyes, I can see the sparkling forest behind my eyelids.

I am grateful to Taiyo for this experience. It was the best birthday ever!!!

30歳になる記念に縄文杉を見たいと思い立ち、誕生日当日に姉と2人で参加しました。ふだん山に登ったりすることはなく体力面の心配をしていましたが楽しむことができました！ツアーは女子7人のグループで、人数として多めだったようです。朝4時の約束も心配でしたが、宿の前に出ておくだけでピックアップしてもらえるのでありがたかったです。当日のガイドさんとは違う方でしたが前日に軽く打ち合わせがありました。
　メンバーの宿を回って屋久杉自然館のバス停で、別のツアーの方々と大型バスに乗り換えました。マイカー規制のためだそうです。ここで長い列を座って待ちながら朝ごはん。この後も休憩で地べたに座ることが何回もあり、そのたびに、ガイドさんからクッションシートをかしてもらえました。荒川登山口で軽く自己紹介して、さっそく登り始めます。ここで空気を温めてくださっていたので、そのあとも他の人に声をかけやすかったです。入り口からしばらくは歩きやすい道を行くのですが、わたしたちがゆっくりペースだったので、早い段階でわたしたちに希望をきいてくださいました。時間は限られているから、ゆっくり 写真を撮りつつ行くなら説明でさらに時間をとることはできないし、話をいっぱい聞きたいなら撮影は控えて歩くペースを上げる必要があると。私たちは写真をとりながら、このペースで行きたいと望んだので、「質問があったら何でも答えるから、いつでも言って」と言ってくれました。実際、植物の名前や歴史など、わたしたちが興味をもったことは積極的に教えてくれたので、わたしたち自身は、写真は撮れるし無理なペースで歩かずに済むし、で大満足でした。
　しんどい箇所などは予め心づもりができるよう言ってくれました。脅かすだけじゃなくて常に、ちょっと希望がもてるようにひっぱってくれたのも楽しく登山できた理由だと思います。他にも、知らなかったことを知ることができること、あぶないところは理由や回避方法を教えてくれること、タイムキーパーの役割などガイドさんに頼れるので、思いっきり楽しめると思います。長く雨の中歩いていたので、お昼に暖かいお味噌汁を用意してくれたときは本当にありがたかったです。
　さらに、わたしたちを担当してくれたガイドさんは、帰り、いい道になってから、一人ずつ全員交代で先頭を歩かせてくれました。実際自分の番が来るまでは、この計画に対して「ふーん」くらいにしか思ってなかったのですが、これが最高でした！！下るだけなので、景色がグングンくる感じが楽しくて、目の前が美しすぎて、今思い出しても感動できます。帰って来てからも目を閉じると瞼の裏にキラキラした森が思い浮かびます。
この経験をくれたタイヨウさんに感謝です。
最高の誕生日になりました！！！

A sense of accomplishment 200%! 達成感200％！

Reviewed by: TOME

I thought this was the only tour that would allow me to visit Jomon Sugi, Shiratani Unsuikyo, and Taiko Rock all in a 2-night, 3-day itinerary, so I joined. As a result, I was extremely satisfied! Personally, I was most moved by the view from Taiko Rock.

Initially, I was considering a tour that included Jomon Sugi for one day and half a day at Shiratani Unsuikyo (without Taiko Rock), but it would have been a shame to miss Taiko Rock.

There were many challenging paths. Although there was a problem with the rental trekking shoes breaking early in the tour, thanks to the support of our guide, we were able to complete the tour on time.

It requires not only physical strength but also mental focus to avoid misstepping. I wouldn’t recommend this for those who want to spend a leisurely time. It’s perfect for those who have the stamina and energy and want to experience a condensed, fulfilling time in a short period.

Lastly, I want to thank our guide, Mr. Taniyama, for his detailed support for us, who were inexperienced in mountain climbing!

2泊3日の旅程の中で、縄文杉・白谷雲水峡・太鼓岩を全てまわるにはこのツアーしかない！と思い、参加しました。
結果、大満足でした！！個人的には太鼓岩からの景色が最も感動しました。
当初、縄文杉1日＋白谷雲水峡半日（太鼓岩無し）のツアーへの参加も検討していましたが、太鼓岩を逃すのは勿体ないです。

過酷な道も多々ありました。またツアー開始序盤でレンタルしたトレッキングシューズが壊れるというトラブルがありながらも、ガイドさんのサポートのおかげで、無事に時間通りにまわりきることができました。

体力もそうですが、足元踏み外さないように集中し続けるための気力がいります。のんびりワイワイと過ごしたいという方にはお勧めしません。体力・気力があって、短い時間の中で、ぎゅっと凝縮した時間をすごしたい方にはぴったりです。

最後になりましたが、ガイドの谷山さん、登山に不慣れな私たちをこまやかにサポートしてくださってありがとうございました！

- There are fewer people, allowing you to enjoy nature all to yourself. An empty forest is wonderful.
- The weather is often clear in the morning. It tends to get cloudy in the afternoon as temperatures rise.
- The tranquility before sunrise and the beauty of the forest as the sunlight begins to filter in are stunning.

On the day of my visit, it was sunny on the way there and cloudy with light rain on the way back, allowing me to enjoy various forest landscapes.

Lastly, our guide, Mr. Minida, was truly excellent. Thank you very much.

白谷雲水峡は朝遅めのスタートでも十分回れる行程ですが、早朝出発がおすすめです。
なぜなら
・人が少なく自然を独り占めできる。誰もいない森は素晴らしい。
・山は午前中晴れることが多い。気温の上がる午後は曇りがち。
・日の出前の静けさと、陽が射し始めて光が入り始めた森が美しい。
などなど多くのメリットがあるから。
当日は行きは晴れ、帰り道で曇りから小雨と、様々な森の風景を堪能することができました。

最後に、ガイドの箕田さんが実に良かったです。ありがとうございました。

Jomon Sugi Trekking Tour 縄文杉トレッキングツアー

Reviewed by: 伊藤健太郎

This was my first trip to Yakushima, and my wife's second, as a couple, we visited Jomon Sugi. My wife had already seen Jomon Sugi once before. She agreed to my wish to see Jomon Sugi, saying that the scenery changes with different guides, so we signed up for this tour. We were blessed with good weather after a few weeks, and the academic explanations from our guide, Osawa, along with his friendly demeanor, made the 22 km round trip feel pleasantly like a school field trip. What I felt during this tour was that Osawa really loves Yakushima and genuinely enjoys guiding people through this beautiful place. Spending ten hours with such a wonderful guide heightened my appreciation for Yakushima. They also provided transportation to and from our accommodation, and I truly appreciated the warm miso soup, coffee, and snacks along the way.

One thing that was a bit disappointing, or perhaps due to my lack of understanding, was that I had to meet with the office staff the day before and purchase the bus ticket at the bus center. While I realize it's important to read the detailed arrangements leading up to the day, I also wish it had been written a bit more clearly (like which number to take and around what time).

私にとっては初めて、妻にとっては二回の屋久島旅行、夫婦となって初めての旅行で縄文杉に行ってきました。前回は妻は既に一度見たという縄文杉。ガイドさんが違えば見える景色も変わるからと、屋久島にいくならと縄文杉を見たいという私の希望を飲んでくれて本ツアーに申し込みました。数週間ぶりの好天に恵まれ、またガイドの大澤さんの学術的な説明と馴れ馴れしすぎない感じがとても心地よく、いい意味で学校の遠足みたいな往復22㎞でした。今回のツアーで感じたことは、大澤さんが屋久島をすごい好きで、そんな屋久島をガイドすることを心から楽しんでるな、ということでしょうか。そんな素敵なガイドさんと10時間もの長い行程を一緒に過ごして、屋久島いいなぁという思いがより高まりました。行き帰りも宿まで送迎して頂き、道中での温かい味噌汁やコーヒー、お茶受けなどの差し入れ本当にありがとうございました。
少し残念だったというか、こちらの認識不足であれれ、、、、となったのは前日に事務の方と会わなければいけなかったり、バスの券をバスセンターで購入しなければいけないことです。当日までの細かい段取りについてはよく読むのが大事だなと思う一方で、もう少し分かりやすく書いておいて欲しかったとも思います(どの番号から何時頃等)。

Participation in the Jomon Sugi Tour 縄文杉ツアー参加

Reviewed by: ららら

I went to Jomon Sugi for my first trekking experience. I signed up on a whim, but as the trip approached, I became anxious about whether I could walk properly. A 10-hour mountain trail for someone like me, who works in an office and commutes by car... could I really do it?

Moreover, the day before the tour, I lightly twisted my left ankle at Shiratani Unsuikyo. It hurt a bit when I bent it outward... I wondered how it would hold up. When I called the guide, I was told, "Just go as far as you can, and if it gets too difficult, you can wait there."

I stabilized my foot with a cold pack and trekking shoes, and at 4:30 AM, I was picked up by the guide. It took an hour and a half by car and bus to reach the trailhead. After some warm-up exercises, we started climbing around 6 AM.

First, we walked on a flat trolley path for about two hours. I thought it would be an easy warm-up while enjoying the scenery... but it was fast! Really fast! Wait, is this race walking? (Others seemed to walk quite calmly, so it might have just been a normal brisk pace.) Because of my ankle, I stayed right behind the guide, which meant that if I walked slowly, the other six tour members would also slow down. I struggled to keep up with the guide while feeling apologetic. I took breaks for my feet during the explanations about the cedars.

Once we reached the mountain trail, it was all uphill from there. The trail was mostly well-maintained and easy to walk on, with many wooden stairs. We took photos at various spots, including Wilson Cedar, the Great Cedar, and a fallen tree shaped like a tuna head. The spring water was delicious.

Seeing that I was really exhausted, the guide carried my bag for about 30 minutes. We had an early lunch at 11:30 AM (looking back, it was clearly a break to acknowledge my physical limits...) before heading to Jomon Sugi. The sense of accomplishment when we arrived was... incredible.

The return trip wasn't as difficult as I had feared. It started to rain, but fortunately, my left foot didn't hurt, and I seemed to be able to walk faster than on the way there.

It's quite a hard sport, so I had to push myself. The guide certainly didn't coddle us, but they provided various support, such as pacing and tips on how to walk on the mountain trail, ensuring we could safely reach and return from Jomon Sugi. They were also knowledgeable about Yakusugi, the spring water locations, and photo spots. Thanks to them, I made wonderful memories and was able to go and come back safely.

初めてのトレッキングで縄文杉にいきました。
いきおいで申し込みましたが、旅行が近づくにつれちゃんと歩けるのか不安でした。
事務職・車通勤の私に10時間の山道...！？
の、登れるのか...！？

しかも、ツアー前日に挑んだ白谷雲水狭で、左足を軽くくじいてしまいました。
外側に曲げるとちょっと痛い...どうかなぁ？と思いながらガイドさんに電話すると「行けるとこまで行って、無理ならそこで待機」ということに。

湿布とトレッキングシューズで足を固め、迎えた朝の４時半。
ガイドさんに迎えに来ていただいて登山口まで車とバスを乗り継ぎ1時間半。
準備体操して登り始めたのは６時すぎでした。

まずは平坦なトロッコ道約2時間。
平坦な道だし、景色を見つつ準備運動かなー...と思っていましたが...速い！速いよ！えっ、競歩？
(他の人は結構平然と歩いてたので多分普通のはや歩きだったのかも)
捻挫の件もありガイドさんの真後ろにつけていたため、私が歩くの遅いと当然他の６名のツアー客も遅くなるわけで、申し訳なさと戦いつつ必死にガイドさんについていきました。
ちょこちょこ挟まれる杉の説明の間に足を休めます。

山道にたどり着くとそこからはひたすら山道です。
山道は半分以上整備されてて、歩きやすい。
木造の階段が多かったです。
アップダウンを繰り返しつつウィルソン杉や大王杉、マグロの頭の形をした倒木など写真スポットで写真をとってもらいました。
あと湧水が美味しい。

途中あまりにバテていた私を見かねて、ガイドさんが鞄をかついでくださること３０分。
１１時半に少し早いお昼を頂き(今思えば明らかに私の体力の限界を悟った休憩...)、縄文杉へ。
たどり着いたときの達成感は...なんというか、すごかったです。

帰りは恐れていたほど大変では無かったです。
雨が降ってきましたが、幸い左足も痛むことなく、行きよりもはや歩きにも対応できていたような。

結構ハードなスポーツ？なので自分が頑張らないといけません。
ガイドさんは当然甘やかしてはくれませんが、無事に縄文杉まで行って帰れるようペース配分や山道の歩き方など、様々サポートしてくれます。
屋久杉や湧水の場所や写真スポットにもお詳しいです。
お陰さまでいい思い出にもなり、無事に行ってかえってくることができました。

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

I had a wonderful experience! 素晴らしい体験ができました！

Reviewed by: さくら

Since I was going to Yakushima, I wanted to hike to Jomon Sugi, but I had little hiking experience and wasn't confident about my stamina and pacing for such a long trek.

Additionally, I wanted to hear explanations about the highlights, nature, and photo spots, so I thought a guided tour would be reassuring and decided to sign up.

To avoid being sleep-deprived, I went to bed early the night before, woke up before 3 AM, and was picked up by the accommodation at 4 AM.

Our guide, Mr. Uranishi, explained the importance of returning to the trailhead in time to catch the bus without injury and advised us to allocate 60% of our energy for the ascent and 40% for the descent.

He mentioned he would be strict, which made me nervous at first, but I resolved to keep up and felt mentally prepared, which was a good thing.

There were five of us: my partner, two other women participants, and the guide. We began our ascent along the long 8-kilometer trolley path in the dark before dawn.

I’m not good with heights, so I was worried about crossing a few unguarded bridges, but they weren’t as high as I expected, and unlike suspension bridges, they didn’t sway, so I didn’t feel too scared.

The trolley path was long, making it a bit challenging, but it was relatively easy to walk since it was flat. I was careful not to trip over the railroad ties.

Along the way, we could see distant mountains like Aiko-dake beautifully. The guide pointed out various photo spots and highlights. The scenery of the primeval forest was so beautiful that I hardly got bored during the long trek. There were also two restrooms and water stations along the way, which was reassuring.

The mountain trail afterward was steep and long, making it quite tough. However, the guide pointed out slippery and difficult areas as we went, and we took breaks as needed, so it wasn’t as hard as I had anticipated.

When we finally reached the "Couple Cedar of Happiness," the "Heart Wilson Stump" for love fulfillment, and the majestic Jomon Sugi and Ooyama Sugi, the sense of achievement upon reaching the goal was as wonderful as the feeling after climbing Mount Fuji.

By the way, the area around Jomon Sugi is said to be a Pokémon hotspot. For Pokémon players, please be careful not to disturb others while catching the cute Pokémon.

The descent was very challenging, but I remembered the walking techniques I learned from our guide, Mr. Iwakishi, when we hiked Shiratani Unsuikyo the day before, which helped me walk carefully to avoid straining my knees, and I successfully reached the trolley path.

The scenery was already familiar, and the return journey on the trolley path was monotonous, making me feel quite tired, but encountering a cute Yakushima deer lifted my spirits.

I’m glad I requested a guide, as I wouldn’t have been able to climb it on my own. Thank you very much.

I had quite a bit of anxiety about my stamina before the trip, but I’m really glad I did the Jomon Sugi hike, which was full of emotional moments. I recommend it to those who haven’t experienced it yet.

If you have flexibility in your itinerary, I recommend enjoying the scenery of the primeval forest at Shiratani Unsuikyo or Yakusugi Land on a different day after hiking Jomon Sugi.

Going to Shiratani Unsuikyo after the Jomon Sugi hike might be tough because your legs and body will be tired, and you may not be able to fully enjoy the mystical views.

On the day after the Jomon Sugi hike, despite icing and using cold compresses, my legs were swollen like an elephant. I didn’t have much fatigue left, but I had some bruising and blisters on the soles of my feet, making it painful to walk.

If you go to Shiratani Unsuikyo, I recommend going all the way to Taiko Rock since it’s worth it. (Proper mountain gear is necessary.)

Fortunately, the weather held up on the day we went, allowing us to see a stunning panoramic view with blue skies, distant mountains like Miyano-ura-dake, and the primeval forest and mountains below.

せっかく屋久島に行くので、縄文杉登山をしたいと思いましたが、登山経験が少なく、長い行程における体力やペース配分などに自信がありませんでした。

また、見所や自然、写真スポットなどの説明を聞きたかったことから、ガイドツアーなら安心だと思い、申し込ませて頂きました。

寝不足にならないよう、前日は早めに寝て、朝３時前に起き、宿には朝４時に迎えに来てもらいました。

今回ガイドを担当してくれた浦西さんは、怪我無く無事に、バスに乗れる時間までに登山口に帰って来ることの重要性を説明してくださり、行きは６割、帰りは４割の体力と気力配分で行くようにアドバイスしてくれました。

自分は厳しくいくよ、と仰られたので、最初は緊張しましたが、しっかり付いていくよう頑張らなければと覚悟が決まり、心構えができたことはよかったと思います。

私とパートナー、参加者の女性二人、ガイドさんの５人で、夜明け前の暗い中、長い８キロのトロッコ道を登り始めました。

高所が苦手なので、数ヵ所ある手すりの無い橋が渡れるかどうか心配でしたが、想定より高さがなく、吊り橋と違って揺れないので、あまり怖くなかったです。

トロッコ道は長いので少し大変でしたが、平坦な道なので比較的歩きやすかったです。
線路の枕木に足を引っ掻けたりして転ばないよう、気を付けました。

道の途中では、愛子岳などの遠くの山が綺麗に見えました。写真スポットや見所をいろいろ教えていただけました。
原生林の景色が綺麗なので、長い道のりもほとんど飽きることがありませんでした。
また、途中２ヶ所ほどトイレや水場があって安心でした。

その後の山道は険しくて長いので、かなり大変でした。
しかし、滑りやすい場所や難しい場所をその都度教えてもらえましたし、適宜休憩を取ってもらえたので、予想していたよりは辛くありませんでした。

幸せの夫婦杉、恋愛成就のハートのウィルソン株、雄大な縄文杉や大王杉にたどり着いたとき、無事ゴールできたときの達成感は、富士登山の達成感と同様に素晴らしかったです。

なお、縄文杉付近はポケモンのホットスポットだそうです。
ポケモンプレイヤーの方たちは、他の方のご迷惑にならないよう気を付けながら、可愛いポケモンたちをゲットしてくださいね。

下りの登山道はとても大変でしたが、前日に白谷雲水峡に登ったときのガイドの岩城さんから、登山時(特に下り)に膝に負担をかけない歩き方を教わっていたので、思い出しながら、滑らないよう慎重に歩き、無事トロッコ道にたどり着くことができました。

すでに見た景色でもあり、帰りのトロッコ道は単調で、疲れも出てきて、けっこうしんどかったですが、可愛いヤクシカに出会えたときは、疲れが吹き飛びました。

個人では到底登れなかったので、ガイドをお願いして良かったです。
ありがとうございました。

体力に自信がなくて旅行前にかなり悩みましたが、やっぱり、多くの感動がある縄文杉登山をして良かったです。
まだ未体験の方には、オススメです。

もし、滞在日程に余裕があるのであれば、白谷雲水峡やヤクスギランドで原生林の景色をゆっくり楽しんだ後の日に、縄文杉登山をすることをおすすめします。

縄文杉登山の後に白谷雲水峡に行くのは、足や体が疲れて、せっかくの神秘的な絶景をゆっくり楽しめないかもしれません。

私は、縄文杉登山の翌日・翌翌日は、アイシングと冷湿布をして、湯船で入浴したにもかかわらず、足が象のようにパンパンにむくみました。
疲れはほとんど残りませんでしたが、足の裏に内出血や水ぶくれが少し出来て、歩くのが辛かったです。

もし白谷雲水峡に行くならば、せっかくなので太鼓岩まで行くことをオススメします。
(きちんとした山の装備が必要です。)

私たちが行った日は、幸いにも天気がもってくれたので、青空を背景に、遠くには宮之浦岳などの山々、眼下には原生林や山が望める大パノラマの絶景を見ることができました。

なお、体力に自信がない方は、白谷雲水峡経由の縄文杉１日登山は、ハードなので、あまりオススメできません。
白谷雲水峡から縄文杉に向けて登ってくる途中で、既にとても辛そうにしている方を数人見かけました。下りが心配になりました。
無理せずに二日に分けた方が、美しい景色をゆっくり堪能できると思います。

また、屋久島の一湊の海は、魚の種類が豊富で、数も多く、沖に出なくても竜宮城のような素晴らしい光景を見ることができるので、(体験)ダイビングやシュノーケリングもオススメです。

長文の感想をお読みいただき、ありがとうございました。
素晴らしい屋久島旅行になるよう願っております。

I visited Jomon Sugi! 縄文杉行って来ました！

Reviewed by: kei

I went on a Jomon Sugi trekking tour!!!
To sum it up, I was very satisfied as I was able to see Jomon Sugi and descend without any inconvenience.

If I had to mention something disappointing, it would be that there seemed to be a lack of communication between the office staff and the guide, as I was asked a few questions that were a bit unclear.
Also, since it was a tour, I couldn't express my desire to stay longer at Jomon Sugi or take my time taking photos at the couple's cedar; we had to quickly take pictures and move on. However, I think this was the same schedule for all tours, so it couldn't be helped.

Other than that, the pacing during the hike was well managed, and we had breaks at just the right times. The shuttle service to the accommodation was also a nice touch (*^^*).

When I climbed, there were three groups with a total of six people, and the guide made sure to check everyone's pace and expressions, so we all managed to descend without anyone feeling unwell.

The Jomon Sugi course was harder than I imagined and required both physical strength and mental stamina!
I recommend going to bed early the night before and preparing your belongings thoroughly.

縄文杉トレッキングツアーに行って来ました！！！
結論から行くと、なにも不自由なく縄文杉をみて下山することができて大満足でした。

残念だったところを挙げるとすれば、
事務担当の方とガイドさんの情報共有があまりとれていなかったのか、よく分からないことをいくつか聞かれたことくらいでしょうか。
あとは、ツアーという形上、ゆっくり縄文杉のところにいたい、夫婦杉でゆっくり写真を撮りたい、などわがままは言えずさくっと写真を撮っておしまいだったのは残念ではありましたが、どこのツアーも同じようなタイムスケジュールでしたので、仕方なかったと思っています。


それ以外は、登山の際のペーシングをしていただいたり、タイミングよく休憩も入れてください、宿までの送迎も付いていて至れり尽くせりでした(*^^*)

自分が登ったときは、３グループ、合計6名でしたが、
全員のペースや表情をしっかり確認してくださったので、全員が体調不良になることなく下山することが出来ました。

縄文杉コースは想像以上にハードで体力も気力も必要でした！！
その分前日は早めに寝て、持ち物も周到に準備していくことをオススメします。

It was a breathtaking view!! 絶景でした！！

Reviewed by: ybe

I took advantage of the three-day weekend to finally visit Yakushima. Since I only had one day for trekking, I joined this tour that allowed us to visit both Taiko Rock and Jomon Sugi in one day! We were blessed with good weather, and from Taiko Rock, we even saw a rainbow. Plus, we got to see some deer! It was such a wonderful tour! I was a bit worried about my stamina, but thanks to the guide's various adjustments, I was able to keep smiling and push through until the end! If you're going to Yakushima, I highly recommend this tour!

3連休を利用して、念願だった屋久島に。トレッキングできる日が1日しかなかったので、1日で太鼓岩も縄文杉もまわれるこのツアーに参加しました！天候にも恵まれ、太鼓岩からはなんと虹が見れましたし、鹿ちゃんも出てきてくれたし、とっっても素敵なツアーでした！体力に自信がなくてちょっと心配でしたが、ガイドさんがいろいろ工夫してくれたお陰で、めげることなく最後まで笑顔で頑張れましたー！屋久島に行くならこのツアーがオススメです！！

From the moment I entered the forest, everything felt like the world of Princess Mononoke. I'm really glad I went. While drinking miso soup made with Yakushima water prepared by our guide, I sat on the tree roots and enjoyed my lunch. It was such a luxurious time...

☆My First Trekking☆ ☆初めてのトレッキング☆

Reviewed by: ☆kaori☆

This was my first time in Yakushima and my first trekking experience, so I was filled with anxiety and nervousness before the Jomon Sugi trekking tour. I had researched what to bring and the precautions to take, but since I usually don't exercise and hadn't built up my stamina before the actual day, I kept thinking, "Will I really be able to reach Jomon Sugi like this?" and "Maybe I'll just have to give up halfway."

On the morning of the tour, there was heavy rain, as if a bucket had been overturned, possibly due to the typhoon. While praying on the bus that the rain wouldn't cause a cancellation, we headed to the starting point of the trolley road.

At 6:30, after having breakfast, we set off on the 8-kilometer trolley road. The rain kept coming and going, and while the peak of the downpour had passed, my feet were soaked after just five minutes of walking.

Despite that, I somehow managed to walk the 8 kilometers of the trolley road, but the next 3 kilometers of mountain path were hell. My already tired legs couldn't climb over the rocks... and the goal still felt far away... I kept thinking, "This is impossible—I'm going back," feeling quite pathetic. However, the girls who were also on the tour shared snacks with me, my husband carried my bag, and thanks to our guide, Mr. Osawa, we had an early lunch break. With the kindness and consideration of those around me, I was able to start walking toward Jomon Sugi again.

Finally, after taking breaks, we reached the goal: Jomon Sugi! It was such a magnificent cedar that I was truly glad I didn't give up. I forgot my fatigue and snapped lots of photos!

Then it was time to descend. My legs were already swollen, but I had to keep moving to get back, so I walked mindlessly. As expected, I struggled with muscle pain for a few days afterward.

Even now, I find comfort in looking at photos of Jomon Sugi and the Wilson stump. I am grateful to Mr. Osawa, our guide, everyone who participated in the tour with me, and my husband for taking me to Jomon Sugi.

　初めての屋久島、初めてのトレッキングと何もかも初めての今回の縄文杉トレッキングツアーで出発前は不安と緊張でいっぱいでした。いちよう事前に持ち物や注意点等は調べていましたが、普段運動不足なうえに体力作りをせずに本番当日を迎えてしまったため「こんなんで本当に縄文杉まで辿り着けるんだろうか」「最悪途中で諦めるしかないかな」とネガティブなことばかり考えていました。
　そして当日の朝、台風の影響かバケツをひっくり返したような大雨…バスの中で「雨で中止になりませんように」と祈りながらトロッコ道の始点の登山口まで向かいました。
　6：30　朝ごはんを食べていざ8キロのトロッコ道へ。雨も降ったりやんだりを繰り返しながら本降りのピークは過ぎたけど、足元は5分くらい歩いただけでびしょ濡れ状態。
　それでも何とか普段歩かない私が8キロのトロッコ道を歩き切りました。が、ここから3キロの山道が地獄でした。すでに歩き疲れた足が岩場を上がれない…でもまだまだゴールは遠い…無理だ～帰る～と情けないことばかり考えていた私に一緒にツアーに参加していた女の子達がお菓子をくれたり、主人が私の荷物も背負ってくれたり、ガイドの大沢さんの計らいで早めのお昼を食べて休憩してくれたり、周りの人達の気遣いや優しさに触れながらまた縄文杉に向けて歩き出すことができました。
　そして、休憩を挟みながらもようやくゴールの縄文杉！本当に諦めなくてよかったと思えるくらい立派な杉がそこに佇んでいました。疲れも忘れしばし写真をパシャパシャ!!
　そして下山。足はすでにパンパンでしたが歩かないと帰れないので無心で足を動かしていました。案の定、数日は筋肉痛で歩くのも辛かったです。
　今でも縄文杉やウィルソン株の写真を見ては癒されています。私を縄文杉まで連れて行って下さったガイドの大沢さん、一緒にツアーに参加した方々、主人に感謝します。
