On the day of the tour, it was cloudy with occasional rain, but I thought, "Well, there's nothing we can do about that," and participated in the tour. However, by the time we enjoyed a delicious lunch and arrived at Cape Hedo, the weather cleared up, and we were able to enjoy the best views. The scenery at Okinawa's Daichi Forest was also fantastic in the sunshine.
There are four different courses available, but you can combine two of them. However, some routes may be difficult to access as they are farther from the bus parking area. The tour guide and the driver were both kind and helpful. Since the northern part of the island is not easy to reach, I was very satisfied with my day participating in this tour.
ツアー当日はくもり時々雨で、まぁこればっかりは仕方ないな~と思いツアーに参加。
しかし美味しい昼食を食べて辺戸岬に到着する頃には晴れてきて最高の景色を堪能出来ました。大石林山も晴れて最高でした。
コースは4種類あるんですが2種類組み合わせて見る事が出来ます。ただしバスの駐車場から離れてしまう為、行きにくいコースもあると思われます。
添乗員さんもドライバーさんも親切で良かったです。
北部はなかなか行きづらい所なのでこのツアーに参加して大満足の1日でした。

I participated because I wanted to visit the Yanbaru region. Although it was summer vacation season, there were fewer participants, perhaps because it wasn't a tour to the beach. The tourist spots were also less crowded, allowing me to enjoy the Yanbaru region at a leisurely pace. Since there is quite a bit of walking, it's best to wear sturdy sneakers. The view of Cape Hedo from the Churaumi Observatory at Oishi Forest Park was amazing.
やんばる地域に行ってみたかったので参加しました。
夏休みシーズンでしたが、海辺に行くツアーではないせいか、参加者は少なめ。観光地も人が少なめで、ゆっくりやんばる地域を楽しむことが出来ました。かなり歩くので足元はスニーカーできちんと固める方がよいです。
大石林山の美ら海展望台から眺めた辺戸岬の風景が最高でした。

It seems that the meeting place was the same as other tours, and at first, I was a bit anxious. However, the guide's instructions were very clear and pleasant, making for a wonderful memory.
During the Obon holiday, there were many tourists and some delays, but overall, the bus was comfortable and the trip was stress-free.
It had been about 20 years since I last visited Kamikochi, and the natural beauty and pleasant weather allowed me to enjoy a good workout.
I was thrilled to observe a mother duck and her ducklings napping so adorably, seemingly unafraid of humans, allowing for close observation! There were reports of bear sightings and some roads were closed due to flooding, but these did not detract from my satisfaction.
I felt refreshed in front of the beautiful nature, just as captured in the photos taken by my traveling companion.
他のツアーの集合場所と同じだったようで、最初は不安でしたが、添乗員の方のご案内がとても分かりやすく感じがよく、気持ちの良いご案内をしてくださり素敵な思い出になりました。
お盆休みで交通も現地の観光客も多く、やや遅れなどはありましたが、ほぼ予定通り、バスが快適でストレスを感じない旅となりました。
上高地へは20年ぶり⁈くらいでしたが、自然が美しく、心地よい天気で、良い汗を流しました。
カモの親子の昼寝をしている姿がとても愛らしく、人間を怖がっていない様子で、とても間近に観察できて感激しました!クマ目撃情報があったり、洪水により封鎖された道があったりしましたが、満足度を下げるようなものではありませんでした。
同行の友人が撮影した写真のままの美しい自然を目の前に清々しい気持ちになりました。

I arrived at Yakushima by high-speed ferry this time, and I was able to pick up my rental items right at the port. They also helped me with sizing, so I had no worries as the day approached. Although we had an early morning meeting, the rain that continued during our travel completely stopped, and I didn't need to use my raincoat at all throughout the day. I was lucky.
The guide provided precise instructions on putting on and taking off the raincoat, which made it comfortable without feeling stuffy.
There were various situations (laughs), and I was quite tense about not being late for the return bus, which I think was actually quite challenging. However, thanks to the guide's scheduling in minutes, we had appropriate breaks and were able to go and return safely.
Thank you for your help. I appreciate it.
今回高速船で屋久島に到着しましたが、港ですぐにレンタル品を受けとることができ、サイズ合わせもしていただき何の不安もなく当日を迎えました。朝早くの集合でしたが、移動中から続く雨もすっかりやんで、終日レインコートなど出番はありませんでした。ラッキーでした。
ガイドの方もレインコートの脱着の指示も的確で
蒸れることなく快適でした。
色々あり(笑)帰りのバスの時間に遅れないよう気を張った状況もあり実際大変だったと思いますが、ガイドの方の数分単位のスケジューリングで休憩も適度にあり無事行って帰れました。

I think I was able to book with a very good tour company among the various options available. The tour included a bento lunch and rental equipment. It was convenient as they took us to the trailhead by bus without any transfers. The guide and the couple from the other tour were very nice, and although it was a tiring 10 hours, we enjoyed and appreciated Jomon Sugi very much.
We also managed to find the Yakushima beetle, which is only found in Yakushima. Our guide, Mr. Miwa, was attentive and knowledgeable, and everything went very smoothly without wasting any time. He was skilled at taking photos and captured many wonderful memories for us!
The tour itself became tough after finishing the tramway path. I was glad to have a trekking pole. On the way back, I just walked on autopilot. My husband's knee started to hurt, and the guide gave us some pain relief patches, so I recommend bringing patches and painkillers if you're concerned.
It was a very memorable tour. Thank you!
いろんなツアー会社がある中、とても良いところで予約できたと思います。
お弁当付きでレンタルも付いて。バスで登山口まで行ってくれるので乗り換えなしで楽ちんでした。
ガイドさんも相ツアーのご夫婦も良い方で、とても疲れた10時間でしたが楽しく気持ちよく縄文杉を崇めました。
それと屋久島にしかいない屋久島オニクワガタも見つけられました。
ガイドの三輪さんは気配り上手で知識も豊富で、時間に無駄がなくとてもスムーズでした。写真の撮り方に長けていて、思い出に残る素晴らしい写真をたくさん撮ってくださいました!
ツアー自体は、トロッコ道が終わってからがしんどかったです。ストックがあってよかったです。帰りのトロッコ道は『無』になって歩き続けました。
主人の膝が痛くなりガイドさんから湿布をいただいたので、心配な方は湿布と痛み止め持参で行かれることをお勧めします。
とても心に残るツアーとなりました。

August 13
Woke up at 3 AM
The pick-up bus was at 4 AM
Started from Arakawaguchi before 6 AM
Walked 8 kilometers along the gently sloping trolley path
Along the way, I crossed a bridge without handrails and another bridge where a fatal accident had occurred, which made for a thrilling experience that never got boring.
I was fortunate enough to see Yakushima deer along the way, and then the trolley path came to an end. After a short break, I finally challenged the steep mountain trail. From here, ancient Yakusugi trees over 1,000 years old appeared regularly, making the hike even more engaging.
And finally, I was able to pay my respects to the majestic Jomon Sugi. Its size and the carved contours allowed me to feel the years this tree has endured. I was satisfied to capture its grand and imposing figure in photos.
On the way back, the fatigue from the ascent set in, and descending the steep steps and the long trolley path afterward nearly caused my calves to cramp. By the way, I am a sub-4 hour runner in the full marathon, so I realized that this trekking required a fair amount of stamina.
However, thanks to our guide, Tsugimura, who provided interesting stories and took photos at just the right spots, I think it turned out to be a fulfilling trekking experience. Thank you very much.
8月13日
起床3時
迎えのバスは4時
荒川口からのスタートは6時前
なだらかながらも延々とトロッコ道を8キロ歩行
途中手すりなしの橋を渡ったり、手すりはあるけど死亡事故が起きた橋を渡ったり、なかなかスリリングで飽きることはありませんでした。
途中屋久鹿を見る幸運にも恵まれてトロッコ道は終了。一休みしてからいよいよ険しい山道に挑みます。ここからは定期的に樹齢1000年以上数千年の屋久杉が現れてこれまた飽きない登山でした。
そして最後に大御所縄文杉を拝むことができました。その大きさと刻み込まれた凹凸はこの縄文杉の過ごした年月を感じることができました。雄大かつ魁偉な姿を写真に収めて満足でした。
帰りは登りの疲れが出てきて急な段差をくだる山下りとそのあと延々と続くトロッコ道で最後はふくらはぎは攣りそうになりました。ちなみに私はフルマラソンサブ4ランナーですから、このトレッキングはそれなりに体力を要求されると実感しました。
ただトレッキングの間興味ある話を提供してくれ、かつ的確な場所で撮影をしてくれたガイドの津曲さんのおかげで充実したトレッキングになったと思います。ありがとうございました。

I had an upset stomach since the day before, and although I attended the lecture, I had to go to the restroom midway. There was a possibility that I would need to use the restroom during the tour as well, so unfortunately, I had to withdraw. Later, I only walked along the elevated walkway, but the weather was bad, and I couldn't see the Shiretoko mountain range or the sea at all.
前日からお腹の調子が悪く、レクチャーまでは受けたのですが、途中でトイレに行く羽目になりました。ツアーの途中でもトイレに行く必要が生じる可能性があり、残念ながら離脱しました。

In the morning, we experienced kayaking and stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) on the Abogawa River. It was a scorching sunny day, perfect for river activities. My elementary school son was thrilled with the kayaking, SUP, and snorkeling to catch fish and shrimp—it was an exciting day by the river.
After the morning activities, we returned to change clothes and enjoyed a delicious bento that we had reserved in the car before heading to Shiratani Unsuikyo. We experienced about three hours of trekking. Our veteran guide, Mr. Tawaki, shared information and quizzes about Yakushima, making the hiking enjoyable and easing our physical fatigue.
For those with children who want to enjoy both river activities and trekking in one day, this beginner-friendly experience is highly recommended!
午前中にて安房川にてカヤックおよびSUP体験。酷暑の晴れの日だったので、川遊びには最高の日和。
小学校の息子は、カヤック、SUP、シュノーケルつけての魚やエビ採集にと、大興奮の川遊びでした。
午前終了後一旦、参加者に戻り、着替えをした上で、車内で予約しておいた美味しいお弁当を食べ、白谷雲水峡へと向かいました。
約3時間のトレッキングを体験。ベテラン•ガイドの田脇さんが屋久島についての情報やクイズを出して楽しい会話を堪能しながらのハイキングでしたので、体や足の疲れも和らぎました。
子供がいて川遊びとトレッキング両方を一日で堪能したい方には、体力的にも初心者向けのこの一日体験はオススメです!
Thank you for your review.
It was exciting to think we could spend a whole day just by the river (laughs). The moss-covered forest is quiet, and I recommend the afternoon trekking as there are fewer people.
I believe the way to enjoy Yakushima will change as your children grow. I look forward to the day we can be together again. Thank you very much for this time.

It was a sunny day, but there were plenty of shady spots, and with natural water sources available, I was able to take breaks as needed. Even though I participated alone, I was able to keep up with my group. The guide shared stories about the island's history and lifestyle, and also took photos at various points, which became great memories. I walked about 24,000 steps on the flat trolley path and around 14,000 steps on the well-maintained mountain trails.
晴天でしたが基本的に木陰が多く、天然の水場もあり、適度に休憩を入れてくれたので、体調を崩すことなく1人参加でしたが同班メンバーに遅れず付いてゆけました。ガイドの方には島の歴史や生活の話はもとより所々で写真を撮ってくれ記念になりました。平坦なトロツコ道24,000歩、整備された山道14,000歩位でした

Thanks to our guide Yazaki, we had the best time. The journey to Jomon Sugi is quite long, so as a beginner, I might have given up without the guide. The guide provided explanations and engaged in casual conversation at just the right moments, which made the hike enjoyable.
Since our group had many young people, we started a bit earlier and walked at a faster pace to capture Instagram-worthy photos. Thanks to the guide's pacing, we were able to take our time at photo spots like Wilson's stump and Jomon Sugi when there were fewer people around. Because we maintained a slightly faster pace, we even had time to cool off by dipping our feet in the river on the way back.
The guide was flexible and adapted to the group's needs. It was the best experience; thank you very much!
ガイドのやざきさんのおかげで、最高の時間でした。
縄文杉までの道のりはとにかく長いので、初心者の私はガイドさんなしでは挫折していたかもしれません。ガイドさんが適宜ご説明や雑談を挟んでくれ、盛り上げてくれたおかげで楽しく完歩することができました。
私たちのグループは若者が多かったため、インスタ映えするような写真を撮れるようにと、少し早めに出発したり早めのペースで歩きました。ガイドさんのペース配分のおかげで、ウィルソン株や縄文杉などの写真スポットでは他の人が少ない時間帯にゆっくりと写真を撮ることができました。少し早めのペースだったため、帰り道では川に足をつけてクーリングする時間もありました。
グループのメンバーに合わせて柔軟に対応してくださるガイドさんのおかげです。最高の体験でした、ありがとうございました。

I went on a 4-night, 5-day trip to Yakushima. The main event, the Jomon Sugi trekking, took place on the third day. I was anxious, but with the best guide, we completed it in 10 hours! I was able to fully enjoy the sunrise, blue skies, mountains, sea, rivers, and the great outdoors. I prepared for rain, but we were blessed with good weather.
It's a trekking experience akin to training, but the sense of achievement is incredible. Even as a near-beginner in climbing, I was able to challenge myself with confidence thanks to the wonderful guide.

I used the service for two days from August 2 to 3, 2024. On the first day, we aimed for Jomon Sugi, and the next day we planned to visit Shiratani Unsuikyo.
On the first day, our bus was scheduled to pick us up in front of the hotel at 4:30 AM, so I woke up at 3:30 AM to get ready. We received the breakfast and lunch bento we had requested in advance from the hotel and left at 4:27 AM. Shortly after, I received a call on my mobile from the guide on the bus asking, "Where are you now?" When I replied, "I'm here," a person with a headlamp appeared in front of me and said somewhat impatiently, "Please get on quickly." We boarded the bus right at 4:30 AM. Once on board, that person asked, "Were you not told to wait outside 10 to 15 minutes early?" I was frustrated because I was there at the time specified, and I couldn't understand why I was being scolded. I managed to hold back my anger for a while.
Therefore, I recommend that anyone who doesn't want to experience what I did should arrive early and wait for the bus.
Upon arrival at the site, we used the restroom and started trekking at 6:00 AM. There are no restrooms from the trolley road to Jomon Sugi, so I highly recommend using the last restroom on the trolley road. The initial part of the trek on the trolley road is about 8.5 km long and is all a gentle uphill. I felt that the distance was already quite enough just on the trolley road, but when I heard there were only 2.5 km left, I felt a bit relieved and approached the second stage with a naive mindset. As soon as the trolley road ended, it turned into a real mountain trail, requiring us to walk over rocks. We could take breaks along the way, but my legs were at their maximum fatigue, and at the end of the last ascent, Jomon Sugi stood tall. Honestly, Jomon Sugi appeared smaller than I expected, surrounded by surrounding plants, and I felt that the Yakusugi I encountered during the climb seemed larger. While I could imagine that Jomon Sugi has a diameter of 5.3 meters, it was disappointing that I couldn't truly experience it.
Moreover, the descent was more exhausting than I imagined, and by the time we reached the trolley road, I felt like I was about to break down. Even if I had given up, I still had to descend the remaining 8.5 km of the trolley road. All the members who accompanied me fell silent but desperately made it to the trailhead. The round trip took 11 hours and 40 minutes, and according to my pedometer, I walked 42,000 steps. It was the first time in my life I walked so much, and the fatigue was at its maximum in my legs, leaving me anxious about the next day's Shiratani Unsuikyo as I went to bed.
The next day, the guide came to pick us up at the hotel at 8:00 AM, and with a relaxed start, the round trip was expected to take about 4 hours, which gave me some relief, but I still participated with the fatigue from the previous day. However, the guide moved at a very slow pace and took breaks at appropriate intervals, making the ascent not too difficult, and we were able to reach Taiko Rock. I realized that this was due to the guide's pacing and the well-maintained stairs in the national park, making it much easier to climb compared to the Jomon Sugi route. There were plenty of highlights along the way, such as "Mossy Forest" and "Hanging Cedar," making for an enjoyable trek, but the descent still had a significant impact on my legs.
From my experience participating in this tour, I think those who lack confidence in their legs should refrain from joining. If you plan to trek both, I recommend including a rest day in between.
2024.8.2-3日の2日間で利用させて頂きました。
初日は縄文杉を目指し、翌日は白谷雲水峡の予定です。
まず初日ですが、私達のホテル前にバスが4時30分に迎えに来るという事なので、3時30分に起き身支度を整え、事前に頼んでいた朝食と昼食のお弁当をホテルで受け取りホテルを出たのが4時27分でした。直後にバスに乗っていたガイドさん?から携帯に電話があり、「今どこですか?」と言われ、「ここです」と言うとヘッドライトを付けた人が目の前にいて、「早く乗って下さい」とちょっとキレ気味で言われ、バスに乗車したのは4時30分ピッタリ。乗車すると、その人から「10分から15分前には外に出て待っていてと言われなかったのか?」と詰められました。しかし、4時30分と言われ4時30分に乗っているのに何故文句を言われなければいけないのか暫く怒りが静まりませんでしたが何とか我慢しました。
従って、私の様な思いをしたくない方は早めに出てバスを待つ事をお勧めします。
現地に到着しトイレを済ませ6:00にトレッキングの出発でした。トロッコ道から縄文杉まではトイレが有りませんので、必ずトロッコ道の最後のトイレに行く事をお勧めします。(途中、携帯トイレを使用出来るか所は有ります)トレッキング始めのトロッコ道は約8.5km有り全て緩いですが上り坂です。私はトロッコ道だけでも十分すぎる距離である事を感じていましたが、残り2.5kmと聞き少し楽な気分で第2段階に臨んだのは浅はかな考えでした。トロッコ道が終わった途端にまさに登山道になり、岩を渡り歩く本格的なものでした。途中、休憩を挟んで頂けますが脚の疲労はMAXで最後の上りを終えた先に「縄文杉」が聳え立っていました。正直、縄文杉は周りの草木に囲われており、写真などで見るよりもこじんまりした様に見えました。何なら登山途中に出会える屋久杉の方が大きく感じる始末です。縄文杉の直径が5.3m有るという事が説明都下では想像が付きますが、実際に味わう事が出来ないのは残念でした。
また、下山は想像を超える脚への疲労が有り、トロッコ道に到着する辺りではかなり心が折れそうになっていましたが、棄権しても残り8.5kmのトロッコ道を下って行かなければならず、同行したメンバー全員無口になりながらも必死に登山口までたどり着きました。往復の所要時間は11時間40分で万歩計によると42.000歩でした。こんなに歩いたのは生まれて初めてという事もあり、疲労は体よりも脚がMAXで翌日に控えた白谷雲水峡に不安を抱えながら就寝しました。
翌日は朝8時にガイドの方がホテルまで迎えに来て頂き、ゆっくりしたスタートで内容も往復4時間程度という事で、少し安心はできましたが、やはり昨日の疲れが取れていない状況での参加となりました。
しかし、ガイドの方はとてもゆっくり進んでくれ、休憩も適度に挟んで頂いた為、上りはそこまで厳しくない状況で太鼓岩まで行く事が出来ました。これは、ガイドさんの進行と、国立公園という事もあり階段などの整備がきちんとできている為、かなり上りやすいからだと気付きました。縄文杉のルートとは別物です。途中に「苔むす森」や「くぐり杉」など見どころも満載で、楽しいトレッキングとなりましたが、下山はやはり脚への影響は大きかったです。
私自身がこのツアーに参加して感じた事ですが、脚に自信のない方の参加はやめた方が良いと思います。両方をトレッキングするならば中1日休息日を入れる事をお勧めします。

70+歳の母は普段毎日ウォーキングするものの、ハイキングはどうかと心配していましたが、ガイドの方も配慮してくださり、無理せずに楽しめました!ガイドの方が色々な苔の種類や体を痛めないハイキングのコツなど、色々な知識を途中教えてくださり、とってもいい体験になりました。ハイキンググッズやストックもレンタルできてとても便利でした。屋久島に行かれる方にぜひお勧めします!

Thanks to the typhoon that passed two days ago, the mountains were sparkling with water gushing from various places, and the weather was blessed with clear skies.
▪️ Day 1 ▪️
For the trek to Jomon Sugi, I wore a UV-protective long-sleeve quick-dry shirt to prevent sunburn, but the guide informed us about the risk of heatstroke and mentioned that we would be walking mostly in the shade, so I switched to a short-sleeve shirt and wore cool leggings and running shorts. I also took off my hat. This way, I managed to avoid heatstroke.
The guide communicated with other guides via radio, checking the positions of each group and adjusting the timing, which made me feel reassured.
Since I qualified for the free shuttle service, I stayed at a hotel in Miyano-ura. However, it seemed to be the farthest location, and I boarded the bus the earliest, with nearly an hour's difference from the last person who got on. It looked like staying near the Arakawa trailhead would have made both the outbound and return trips easier.
▪️ Day 2 ▪️
The Shiratani Unsuikyo had a completely different, enchanting scenery compared to the previous day. It was enjoyable to see the types of moss and the atmosphere gradually changing.
Although the walking distance was shorter than the Jomon Sugi course, it was still a solid hike.
I had enough time to observe slowly, and I became engrossed not only in the moss and cedar but also in the birds and insects.
There weren't many people doing trekking on two consecutive days, so it was quite surprising.
The guides on the first and second days were different, but both took photos at the scenic spots with their iPhones and shared the data with us at the end. Additionally, they provided warm miso soup for lunch, which was comforting.
2日前の台風一過のお陰で、しっかり水分を含んだ山はあちこちから水が湧き出てキラキラしていて、天気はずっと晴天に恵まれてました。
▪️1日目▪️
縄文杉へのトレッキングは、日焼け対策にUV対応の長袖速乾シャツを着て行きましたが、ガイドさんから熱中症の危険があるということと、ずっと木陰を歩くので日焼けの心配はほぼないと言うことで、半袖シャツに、下はトレンカとランニングパンツの涼しい格好で登りました。帽子もぬぎました。それでなんとか熱中症は免れた感じです。
ガイドさんは他のガイドさんと無線で連絡を取りながら、それぞれのグループの位置を確認しながら時間調整をしてくれていたので、安心できました。
無料送迎の対象となっていたので宮之浦のホテルに泊まりました。ただ、ここは1番遠かったようで、パスに乗り込んだのは1番早く、最後に乗った人と1時間近く差がありました。荒川登山口近くに泊まった方が行きも帰りも楽そうでした。
▪️2日目▪️
白谷雲水狭は前日とはまた違った幻想的な景色がずっと続いていました。苔の種類も雰囲気も徐々に変わっていくのを見るのも楽しかったです。
歩く距離は縄文杉コースよりは短いとはいえ、しっかり登山でした。
それでもゆっくり観察する余裕はあり、苔と杉だけではなく、鳥や虫にも夢中になれました。
あまり2日連続トレッキングをする人はいなかったので、結構驚かれました。
1日目と2日目は別のガイドさんでしたが、どちらも写真スポットではガイドさんのiPhoneで写真を撮ってくれて、最後にデータの共有をしてくれました。また、ランチには暖かいお味噌汁を入れてくれて、ホッとできました。

It's several times longer than I imagined. If you're trekking, it's probably one of the longest in Japan?!
The tour guide was an older man who loves Yakushima and moved there (he really loves the mountains), and his explanations were interesting throughout.
They likely group participants based on their fitness levels and age, allowing you to hike at a pace that suits your level.
During the extra time, you can dip your feet in the river, and some people even swim, so it's good to be prepared for that.
想像の数倍長いです
トレッキングなら日本最長レベルでは?!
ツアーのガイドさんは屋久島が好きで移住したおじさん(山大好き)で説明が随所にあって面白かったです
多分運動経験や年齢で、グループ分けをしており、自分のレベルにあったスピードで山登りをできます
余った時間では川に足をつけたり、人によっては泳いだりするので準備しておくと吉

Since they are wild animals, whether you encounter them is left to chance, but there are not many tours available for solo travelers, so I was able to use a private tour even as a single person.
自然の動物なので、遭遇できるかはその時任せではありますが、1人からのツアーがなかなか無く、1人でも貸切で利用させて頂きました。

Initially, we planned to go trekking on our own, but considering the transportation from the accommodation to the trailhead and preparing lunch, we thought it would be more convenient to join a tour, so we signed up.
To put it simply, participating in the tour was a fantastic decision! Not only did we have a great guide, but we also met wonderful people in our group. It was a tiring day, but it turned out to be the best day ever.
With many aspects, such as pacing during breaks and hiking etiquette, that we might not have managed on our own, having a guide allowed us to relax and enjoy the experience mentally as well.
Thank you for the amazing experience!
最初は自分たちのみでトレッキングをする予定でしたが、
宿から登山口への移動や、昼のお弁当の用意などのことを考え、自分たちのみで行くよりもツアーの方が都合がいいなぁと思って申し込みました。
結論から言うと、ツアーに参加して大大大正解でした!
ガイドさんはもちろん、同じグループだった方との素敵な出会いもあり、とっても疲れたけど最高の1日になりました。
休憩のペース配分や、登山中のマナーなど、自分たちだけでは配慮しきれない部分がたくさんある中で、ガイドさんがいれば安心して過ごせるので、精神的にも楽でした。
最高の体験をありがとうございました!

The guide was very attentive, and both children and adults enjoyed it! It was great that we could walk at our own pace without any worries since we were the only group. I heard they offer activities other than trekking, so I definitely want to use their services again!
丁寧なガイドをしていただき、子供はもちろん大人も楽しめました!1グループだけで回ったので自分たちのペースで気兼ねなく歩けたのも良かったです。トレッキング以外もやっていると聞いたので、また是非利用したいと思いました!
Dear Chuck,
Thank you for participating in the exploration trekking and for posting your review. I sincerely apologize for the delayed response.
I'm glad you were able to enjoy a place where you could walk freely. While our nature guide still has room for improvement, encountering wildlife and immersing yourself in nature is truly a wonderful experience. If there's another opportunity, I would love to have you join us again. Let's have fun together! (laughs)

中々、歩く事が出来ない場所を気兼ねなく、楽しむ事が出来て良かったです。自然ガイドはまだまだ未熟な所も有りますが
生き物との出会い、大自然に身を任せて遊ぶのも凄く気持ちが良いですよ、また機会がありましたら是非宜しくお願い致します。
一緒に遊びましょう(笑)

I had always wanted to visit Yakushima and Jomon Sugi. Since I don't have much climbing experience and was traveling alone, I chose a guided local optional tour. When I travel alone overseas, I always make reservations through Veltra, and I've always been satisfied with their tours, so I signed up without hesitation this time as well. I was worried about the early morning departure and the round trip climbing journey of about 11 hours, but thanks to the guide's appropriate advice and their detailed answers to my various questions, I was able to overcome the long and challenging path. Additionally, I think I was able to achieve this without giving up because I received encouragement and support from the two couples in my group. I want to express my gratitude for the wonderful encounter with ancient nature and for meeting the guide and the members of my group.
前々から一度は行ってみたかった屋久島、縄文杉。登山経験があまり無く、一人旅の私はガイド付きの現地オプショナルツアーを選択しました。海外一人旅の時は、いつもベルトラさんから予約し利用させてもらい、常に満足のいくツアーだったので今回も迷わず申し込みました。朝の出発が早く、往復で約11時間の登山行程が不安でしたが、ガイドさんの適切なアドバイスと私のいろんな質問に丁寧に詳しく答えてくださることで、長く険しい道のりも乗り越えられました。また、一緒のグループになった2つのカップルの方達とも励まし助け合えたお陰で諦めることなく達成できたと思います。
素晴らしい太古の自然との出会い、ガイドさん始め、グループの方との出会いに感謝したいと思います。

We participated in a trekking tour to Jomon Sugi and Shiratani Unsuikyo with my mother and daughter. I had researched beforehand that the round trip to Jomon Sugi takes about 10 hours, so I was very worried about whether we would be able to complete it. In reality, on the way back, my legs were so sore that I felt like I couldn't walk anymore... and there were still three hours to go... I almost felt defeated at times, but our guide was very entertaining and not only shared knowledge about Yakusugi but also engaged us with various quizzes during the trek. Thanks to that, even though my body was exhausted, I was able to enjoy a fun hike filled with laughter without feeling defeated. I truly appreciate the guide's thoughtfulness, as I’m sure he was tired too but never showed it and kept the atmosphere lively. The sense of accomplishment when we returned to the bus was truly unforgettable.
On the second day, I wondered if I would be able to walk, but compared to the previous day, we had less time and were able to enjoy the scenery, so it was fine. And above all, the breathtaking view from Taiko Rock was amazing! Honestly, it was even more moving than Jomon Sugi (laughs).
For those trekking in Yakushima for the first time, I definitely recommend having a guide! The experience is completely different.
Since returning from the trip, I already miss Yakushima. We have traveled to various places, but this is the first time all three of us have felt such a strong desire to return! We have completely become Yakushima addicts (shortened to "yakuchuu"). We plan to go back to Yakushima next year and try climbing other mountains as well.
母娘3人で縄文杉+白谷雲水挟のトレッキングツアーに参加しました。
縄文杉は往復10時間と事前情報で調べていたこともあり、途中リタイアしないかとても心配していました。実際、帰り道足がパンパンでもう歩けない…まだ3時間もある…と挫けそうになることもありましたが、担当ガイドさんがとても面白い方で、トレッキング中は屋久杉の知識だけでなく色んなクイズをしてくれました。そのお陰で、身体はキツかったですが気持的には挫けることなく笑いありの楽しいハイキングとなりました。ガイドさんも色々と疲れていたと思いますがそんな顔一つせず盛り上げてくれた心遣いに感謝しかありません。帰りのバスに戻った時の達成感は本当に忘れられないです。
2日目は歩けるかな?と思いましたが、前日に比べると時間も少なく景色も楽しめる余裕もあったので大丈夫でした。また、何といっても太鼓岩からの絶景が素晴らしかったです!正直、縄文杉より感動でした(笑)
初めて屋久島のトレッキングをする方は、間違いなくガイドはつけた方がいいですよ!充実度が全然違います。
旅から戻り、既に屋久島が恋しいです。色々なところを旅してきましたが、こんなにまた行きたい!と思うのは初めてなくらい家族3人共、すっかり屋久島中毒(略してやくちゅう)になってしまいました。
また来年屋久島に行き、他の山も登ってみる予定です。

I found it very interesting that they had extensive knowledge about plants and animals and provided various explanations. I was also able to feel the cycle of life in the forest. The guide made it even more enjoyable with humor. It was a two-and-a-half-hour course where we stopped at each lake while receiving explanations along the way. I was able to walk without any difficulty.
植物や動物についての知識が豊富で、色々と解説してくださりとても興味深かったです。
森の命の循環を感じることもできました。
笑いを交えながらのガイドで、より楽しかったです。
道中の解説や、それぞれの湖で立ち止まりつつの2時間半のコース。
無理なく歩くことができました。

We participated as a family of three. My child, who was canoeing for the first time, wanted to go solo and struggled a bit on the way there, but our guide, Eli, provided attentive encouragement. Thanks to that, on the way back, my child got the hang of it and seemed to really enjoy paddling the canoe.
When making the reservation, I was really torn about whether to add trekking since it was hot, but I decided to join because I thought it would be a unique experience. I'm not particularly fond of climbing mountains, but as I walked while listening to explanations about the rare plants and creatures, I naturally kept moving forward. When we finally reached the waterfall basin, it was refreshingly cool and felt amazing! It was the best moment.
Floating in the basin while gazing dreamily at the waterfall and the blue sky was truly soothing. After soaking in the water for a while, the rice balls we received were delicious. I'm really glad I participated in the tour.
Also, the location of the tour company had a fantastic view. I think it's worth seeing at least once.
家族3人で参加しました。子どもは、初めてのカヌーで1人乗りを希望し行きは苦戦していましたがガイドのエリさんに細やかに声をかけていただきました。おかげで帰りは、すっかり慣れて楽しそうにカヌーを漕いでいました。
予約時に、暑いのでトレッキングをつけるかとても迷いましたが、なかなかできない体験だなと思い切って参加をきました。
山登りは好きではないのですが、珍しい植物や生き物の説明を聞きながら歩いていくと自然と足も進みました。やっとたどり着いた滝壺にはいると、ヒンヤリ気持ちいい!!最高の瞬間でした。
滝壺にプカプカ浮かびながら、滝と青空をぼんやり眺めていると本当に癒されました。
ひとしきり水に浸かり、頂いたおにぎりの美味しかったこと。
ツアーに参加してよかったです。
また、ツアー会社がある場所がとてもいい眺めでした。一見の価値ありだと思います。

I had a vague desire to try the Jomon Sugi trekking, and it turned out to be an experience beyond my imagination. Even though I don't have much confidence in my physical strength, I was able to return safely, but there were many unstable areas and places where I had to climb rocks, which was quite tough. However, when I finally descended, the sense of accomplishment was immense, and I felt as if I had completed a form of training.
For those who are not used to hiking and are new to Jomon Sugi trekking, I strongly believe that participating in a tour is essential. The 10-hour trekking schedule was adjusted by the guide, taking into account the participants' physical abilities, which is why I think we were able to descend in time for the bus. I am grateful for all the considerations made.
Additionally, I went on both the Jomon Sugi trekking and the Shiratani Unsuikyo trekking this time, and I requested the same tour company. In the end, I think it was a great decision. For someone who couldn't make a car rental reservation and had limited mobility and time, being able to spend the day smoothly and without trouble was thanks to the tour company. I am very thankful.
漠然と一度行ってみたいと思っていた縄文杉トレッキングです。想像以上に素晴らしい経験でした。
体力に自信があるわけがない私も無事帰還できましたが、かなり足元不安定な場所や、岩を登るような場所が多くあり、かなり辛い。しかし、無事下山できた時は、達成感が大きく、一つの修行を終えたような気分でした。
登山に慣れていない、縄文杉トレッキングが初めての方は、ツアーに参加すべきと強く思いました。10時間トレッキングの時間配分は、ガイドさんが参加者の体力を考慮して調整してくださっており、故にバスの時間までに下山できたと思います。さまざまなご配慮に感謝しております。
なお、今回は縄文杉トレッキングと白谷雲水峡トレッキングへ行ったのですが、同じツアー会社さんでお願いしました。結果、大正解だったと思います。レンタカーの予約ができずに行動範囲・時間が限られていた者にとって、さまざまな面でスムーズに、トラブルなく過ごすことができたのは、ツアー会社さんのおかげです。感謝しております。
