To my surprise, it was a clear day, and Jomon Sugi was amazing. I was worried about causing trouble for others due to my age and physical condition, but somehow I made it back. If I had gone alone, I probably wouldn't have made it.
The 8.5 km trek along the trolley path was tough. There were times when I felt like giving up. As someone with a fear of heights, crossing the bridge without a handrail was difficult; I was almost in tears, no, I crossed while crying.
Thanks to the guide's pacing, I managed to get through. There were several water sources along the way, so I didn't have to worry about drinking water. In fact, I should have reduced my water intake.
It was the best experience!
まさかのピンポイントにその日は晴れて縄文杉は最高でした。
年齢、体力的に周りに迷惑かけたらどうしようと思いながら行きましたが、何とか帰ってこれました。きっと個人で行ってたら辿り着かなかったかも。
やはり片道8.5kmのトロッコ道はきつかったです。何度か心が折れそうになりました。
高所恐怖症の私には手すり無しの橋が辛かったです、もう泣きそう、いや泣きながら渡りました。
やはりガイドさんのペース配布が良かったから何とかなりました。
水場が何ヶ所かあり、飲めるので飲み水にはこまりませんでした。てか減らせば良かった。
最高でしたよ。

I experienced a full loop hike around Shiretoko Goko with a group of ten, including our guide. It had snowed the night before, leaving some snow on the ground, muddy areas, and droplets falling from branches above as we walked slowly. We encountered untouched nature, trees marked by bear claws, trees dug up by bears, areas of skunk cabbage where bears had lain down, and trees intertwined with vines that bears had pulled. Our guide provided a lot of explanations, and the three hours flew by.
The weather in nature can change quickly, and although it wasn't great weather, it was a very good experience. I must say, it was really great that our guide was a veteran.
As for clothing, I felt it was essential to consider the temperature and wear waterproof gear, even if you don't have rain gear. I wore waterproof sports clothing and a full set of rain gear to keep warm.
ガイドさん含めた10人で知床五湖大ループ全周散策を体験しました。前夜に雪が降り、足元には所々に雪が残り、泥濘、上からは木枝から雫が落ちる中、ゆっくりと歩き進み、手付かずの自然と熊の爪痕が残る樹木、熊が掘った樹木、熊が寝そべった跡の水芭蕉地帯、熊が蔓を引っ張り蔓と一体化した樹木等、沢山、ガイドさんからの説明があり、あっという間の3時間でした。
自然の天候は変わりやすく、好天では無かったですが、とても良い体験が出来ました。
おまけに、ガイドさんがベテランの方で本当に良かった。の一言に尽きました。
服装ですが、必ず、気温を考慮し、雨具が無くとも防水上下は必須だと感じました。私はスポーツ用の防水上下に、雨具上下のフルセットで防寒になりました。

I fully enjoyed Yakushima, visiting Jomon Sugi, Shiratani Unsuikyo, and Taiko Rock, even though I was a bit greedy with my itinerary.
The trek to Jomon Sugi took from just before 6 AM until after 4:30 PM. Although I had no prior mountain climbing experience and I’m over 60, I prepared by hiking at places like Takao Mountain for a year, and I was able to complete the hike. There were 8 people on the tour, and our kind guide showed us around, allowing us to fully appreciate Jomon Sugi, Yakusugi, and the nature of Yakushima.
The next day, we visited Shiratani Unsuikyo and Taiko Rock from around 9 AM to about 2:30 PM. It was shorter and easier than the Jomon Sugi hike, but by the end, my legs were screaming from two consecutive days of walking (laughs). There were 4 people on this tour as well, and our guide was also very kind. Shiratani Unsuikyo was even more beautiful than the photos, and Taiko Rock offered a breathtaking view. I think it would be good to take a day off in between.
縄文杉と白谷雲水峡&太鼓岩、
欲張りましたが、屋久島を思いっきり堪能しました。
縄文杉へは6時前から16時半過ぎまでの行程でした。還暦過ぎで登山は未経験でしたが、1年前から高尾山などで足慣らししておき、完歩できました。
当日ツアーは8名、親切なガイドさんにいろいろ案内してもらい、縄文杉はじめ屋久杉や屋久島の自然を満喫しました。
翌日は白谷雲水峡と太鼓岩、9時頃から14時半頃まで。屋久杉よりは距離短く楽でしたが、最後は2日連続の歩きで足が悲鳴(笑)
ツアーは4名、こちらも親切なガイドさんで、白谷雲水峡は写真以上に綺麗で、太鼓岩は絶景でした。
間に1日休みを入れると良いと思います。

I visited Yakushima for the first time in late May and pre-booked this tour. Since it was my first time, I was worried about the cold, so I packed various jackets in my backpack, but they weren't necessary! There was one guide for six members, and half of the group had trekking poles, which I thought were necessary since we were climbing steep areas! It was quite challenging, but climbing while enjoying the beautiful scenery and fresh air felt wonderful. The Jomon Sugi was breathtaking, and I truly felt it deserved its status as a World Heritage site!
5月下旬に初めて屋久島に行きこちらのツアーを事前申し込みしました。初めてだったので寒かったらどうしよう…
と色々上着をリュックに入れて行きましたが必要ありませんでした!1人のガイドさんに6人のメンバーでしたがスティックは半数のメンバーが持っておりやはり険しい山場をお上るので必要だと思いました!なかなか過酷でしたが、素敵な景色と美味しい空気を吸いながら登って行くのでとても気持ちわかったです。縄文杉は圧巻でさすが世界遺産だと思いました!

Thank you very much for your help over the two days! This was my second time in Shiretoko, but last time the weather was bad, so I couldn't see Lake Mashu or go hiking in the Shiretoko Five Lakes. Thanks to you considering our requests and planning multiple times, we had a wonderful trip to Shiretoko. The guide maintained a comfortable distance, allowing us to relax and enjoy ourselves. Next time, I would like to go see the drift ice!

I participated alone on May 3, 2024. Before going, I was unsure whether to join a tour, but in the end, having a guided tour was definitely the right choice! Not only could I trust the guide with all the details like precautions and time management, but I also got to hear various explanations at each destination, making the long journey a fulfilling experience. Moreover, thanks to the guide's consideration regarding the overall pace, break timings, and efforts to keep things engaging, I felt that my fatigue was significantly alleviated. I absolutely recommend that first-time participants join a tour!
2024.05.03に1人で参加しました。
行く前はツアーに参加するべきかどうか迷いましたが、結果的にガイド付きは大正解でした!
注意点や時間配分等全て安心して任せられるのは勿論ですが、行く先々で様々な説明が聞けるので、長い道のりも充実した時間を過ごす事が出来ました。
しかも全体のペースや休憩のタイミング、飽きさせないための工夫等、ガイドさんの気遣いで大分疲れも緩和出来ている気がします。
初めて参加する方は絶対にツアーに参加する事をお勧めします!

From the day before yesterday, they provided detailed information about what to bring and asked if I had any questions, which made me feel at ease for my participation.
Instead of guiding from the entrance, they started guiding us from the moment they picked us up, sharing information about Yakushima while we were in the car. They took a lot of photos and skillfully captured panoramic shots according to the situation, and their engaging storytelling made for an enjoyable time. We even got to enter the river, creating wonderful memories.
前々日から、持ち物なども教えてくださり、わからないことがないか、など細かく聞いてくださり、安心して参加に臨むことができました
入口からのガイドではなくて、送迎に来てくださったときから、車の中からガイドをしてくださって、屋久島のことから教えてくださりました。
写真もたくさん撮ってくださるし、パノラマ撮影など状況に応じて上手に撮ってくださるし、説明も引き込まれる話術で楽しいひと時を送ることができました。川に入ったりして、いい思い出になりました。

I think opinions about the tour company and the guide can vary. Compared to another tour that contacted us the day before and the day before that, providing detailed information about what to bring, the meeting place, and the time, we did not receive any communication regarding the Jomon Sugi trekking until the day before. Since we were scheduled to participate in the Shiratani trekking that afternoon, there was a possibility that we wouldn't have reception, so we had to reach out ourselves.
On the day of the tour, after getting off the shuttle bus, while other guides were calling out names to gather participants, our guide did not call out names, leaving participants to search for the guide. While it’s good to be cautious for safety during the trek, the way it was communicated was harsh and rude. At the very least, we are customers, and although we did not argue at the time and complied, we were criticized despite not being slow or unprepared.
I still feel upset about it. If they want to project professionalism, they might consider developing a more engaging way of communicating.
ツアー会社、ガイドによって賛否が分かれると思います。
前日、前々日から連絡をくださって、持ち物、待ち合わせ場所、時間など、丁寧に教えてくださった別のツアーに比べて、翌日の縄文杉のトレッキングでは前日になっても連絡がこなくて、その午後から白谷のトレッキングに参加予定だったので、電波が届かない可能性もあったもので、こちらから連絡をしたくらいです。当日も、シャトルバスを降りて、ほかのガイドさんは名前を呼んで参加者を集めている中、私たちのガイドさんは名前も呼ばず、参加者がガイドさんを探す始末。
安全のために道中で注意をされるのはよいのですが、言い方がきついし、口が悪い。少なくとも私たちは客ですし、その場で反論はせずに、従っていましたが、もたもたしていたわけでもないのに、文句ばかり言われた。
今も気分が悪い。プロ感を出すなら、もう少し、楽しませるような話術も身に着けてもよいのでは。
Dear Nancy,
Thank you for participating in the trekking tour.
We have been instructing our guides to be mindful of their tone, but this year, there have been many incidents of falls and slips. Some guides encourage gently, while others may speak a bit more firmly to ensure safety.
I completely understand that you would prefer a gentle approach, and I will remind our guides to be careful with their language.
Additionally, the pre-tour confirmation process varies by guide company.
Our company has a system where customers contact us upon arriving in Yakushima. The reason is that while we are aware of your arrival time, many customers are busy with baggage claim and rental car arrangements right after arrival, so they tend to call us once they have settled down. This contact information is also noted on the application page and voucher.
That is all.
Nancy 様
この度は、トレッキングツアーにご参加頂きありがとうございます。
ガイドの口調については再三気を付けるよう指導しておりますが、今年に入り、転倒・滑落事故が多発しており優しく促すガイドもいれば
怪我をさせないよう多少きつく言うガイドもいます。
お客様にとっては優しく言ってもらいたい気持ちは十分分かりますので、再度言葉使いには気を付けるよう注意致します。
あと、ガイド会社によって事前確認は違います。
弊社はお客様が屋久島に到着したら弊社に連絡を取るシステムを取っています。
理由は、お客様の到着時間は弊社でも把握していますが、到着直後に手荷物受取やレンタカー受付で忙しいお客様も多く落ち着いてから電話頂いております。
お客様から弊社へ連絡する事は申込ページやバウチャーにも記載しております。
以上です。

I had a valuable experience in a natural heritage site that is not easily accessible!

During our descent at the Wilson stump, we took some photo time, and I still vividly remember the excitement when the guide took our pictures. That heart-shaped photo made all the fatigue disappear!

We requested a private guide for just the two of us, a couple in our 40s. We usually do light strength training about once or twice a week, but we hadn't been doing much exercise, so we practiced a bit by walking around 8 km, anticipating some light hiking and the trolley path. I had a lot of concerns about my physical stamina, especially since I was looking forward to seeing the Jomon Sugi. However, thanks to our guide, Ando, we were able to go and return safely!
His precise advice on when to take breaks, use the restroom, replenish with salt and sugar, and do stretches was very helpful. The conversation flowed without interruption; we talked not only about Yakushima and the Yakusugi but also about work and dramas, making it feel like we were spending time with a friend.
We were also able to see Yakuzaru and Yakushika, making for a very fulfilling Jomon Sugi trekking experience. Thank you so much, Andy!

After Golden Week, I participated in a half-day trekking tour from Shiratani Unsuikyo to the moss-covered forest, following the Yakuza bus tour the day before. It was just the two of us and a person living overseas, along with our guide, so we were able to walk at a relaxed pace. Unlike the previous day's sightseeing, the entire route took us through a lush forest that felt like a power spot, with sunlight filtering through the trees. We arrived at the moss-covered forest, where stones and fallen trees were completely covered in moss. The scenery was just like something out of "Princess Mononoke." Nearby, the spring water we collected in a plastic bottle was delicious. Since we had rental shoes, we could enjoy the experience without worrying about getting wet or dirty!
GW明け、前日のやくざる号バスツアーに続いて白谷雲水峡~苔むす森までの半日トレッキングに参加しました。私たち夫婦と海外在住の方+ガイドさんの4人でゆったりしたペースで歩けました。前日の外周観光と異なり全行程がパワースポットとも思えるうっそうとした森の中を木漏れ日を浴びながら進むと石も倒木も一面を覆う苔むす森に到着。正にもののけ姫が出てきそうな景色が広がっていました。その近くでペットボトルに汲んだ湧き水がおいしかった。靴などのレンタル付きだったので、濡れや汚れの心配もなく堪能できました!

Considering the low water temperature and water volume, the tour was changed from a hidden waterfall to river trekking. Thanks to the clear weather over the past few days, the river water was very clear and the weather was truly pleasant. We leisurely paddled the kayak (it was my first time, but I managed just fine), had lunch on a sandbank, and took a little nap before heading out for the afternoon trekking.
For the trekking, we changed rivers, put on wet suits, and walked upstream on a rocky riverbed. It was fun to spot little fish and play in the water! Having a guide made it possible for us to enjoy ourselves with peace of mind. Thank you very much. Sunscreen is essential for your face, ears, the tops of your hands, and the tops of your feet (and reapplying too!).
水温の低さと水量を考え、
秘境の滝ではなくリバートレッキングに変更のツアーでした。
ここ数日の晴天のため川の水は透明度が高く本当に気持ちいい陽気。のんびりカヤックを漕いで(全く初めてでしたが大丈夫でした)、中洲でお弁当を食べ、ちょっと昼寝して午後のトレッキングへ。
トレッキングは川を変えて、ウエットスーツを着込んで石の転がる川を歩いて遡ります。途中小さな魚を見つけたり、泳いだりの川遊びも楽しかった!
ガイドさんがいたからこそ、安心して遊べました。ありがとうございました。
日焼け止めは顔、耳、手の甲、足の甲も必須です。(塗り直しも!)
Dear Kaeru to Issho,
As the name suggests, we enjoyed Yakushima together with the frogs! Thanks to your bright personality and excellent core strength, the tour was fun and time flew by. As expected from someone born in Tohoku, you are strong against the cold and swam vigorously while I was shivering. I was truly impressed.
I would be happy to join you again someday in the summer at the Anbo River or Tongo Falls. Please do consider a repeat visit.
Thank you very much for this experience.

その名の通りカエルと一緒に屋久島をお楽しみいただきました!
かえるといっしょさんの持ち前の明るいお人柄と素晴らしい体幹で、ツアーも楽しく時間が過ぎていきました。
さすが東北生まれで寒さに強く、怯む私を横目にバシバシ泳いでいましたね。御見それ致しました。
またいつか真夏の安房川、トンゴの滝などご一緒できたら嬉しいです。
是非リピートお願いします。
この度はありがとうございました。

I participated with five friends. We formed a group of eight, including two couples and one solo participant, and traveled together. The photos taken by our guide were amazing, and everyone was really excited! It was forecasted to rain, but it didn't! Thanks to the good weather, we were able to see Jomon Sugi, and everyone finished the trip without any injuries. I was moved and healed by the nature of Yakushima!
友達5人で参加。他、夫婦さん2人とおひとり様参加の方と計8人グループになり、行き帰りを共にしました。
ガイドさんが撮ってくれた写真がうま過ぎて、みんなテンション上がりました!
雨予報でしたが雨は降らず!
天気に恵まれたのもあって縄文杉も見れて、みんな怪我なく終えることができました。
屋久島の自然に感動し癒された!

I participated in the Jomon Sugi 1-day and Shiratani Unsuikyo half-day course with a friend. Unfortunately, the weather was cloudy or rainy both days, which wasn't ideal, but listening to our veteran guide with 17 years of experience while enjoying beautiful scenery made the 1.5 days of trekking over 50,000 steps fly by. (Although the weather wasn't great, the rain actually made the moss vibrant, allowing us to truly experience the charm of Yakushima.)
On the second day’s Shiratani Unsuikyo tour, since there were only my friend and me, the guide kindly adjusted the tour content flexibly. ① Initially, the tour was scheduled to start at 5 AM, but due to the heavy rain the day before, there was a possibility of cancellation. The guide suggested we wait until 8 AM to decide whether to go to Shiratani Unsuikyo or do some sightseeing on the island. ② Although the tour could proceed, due to the unfortunate weather, we didn’t go to Taiko Rock, where the view isn’t good in the rain, and instead turned back at the mossy forest, arranging to do some sightseeing on the island until our flight. Thanks to this, I was able to enjoy the long-awaited "kubore saba" for lunch, which made me very satisfied!
Thanks to Tsugimachi-san's flexible response, I had a rich and unforgettable 1.5 days. Thank you! I feel like I might become addicted to Yakushima!
縄文杉1日+白谷雲水峡半日コースに友人と2名で参加しました。
あいにく、2日とも天気は曇りか雨で最高のコンディションとは言えないものの、ガイド歴17年のベテランガイドさんのお話しを聞きながら、終始綺麗な景色で、1.5日間で5万歩以上のトレッキングも、あっという間でした。
(お天気には恵まれなかったですが、むしろ、雨のお陰で苔が生き生きしていて、本当の屋久島の魅力を味わえたと思います。)
2日目の白谷雲水峡ツアーは、参加者が私と友人の2人だけということで、ガイドさんのご厚意で、ツアーの内容を柔軟にアレンジしていただきました。①当初は5時にツアー開始予定でしたが、前日の大雨の影響で催行中止の可能性があり、8時の発表まで待ってから白谷雲水峡に行くか、島内観光にするか決めようとご提案いただきました。②催行はできたものの、あいにくのお天気だったので、雨では眺望が良くない太鼓岩までは行かず、苔むす森で折り返し、フライトまでは島内観光するという、アレンジまでしていただきました。お陰で、ランチに念願の首折れサバを食べることでき、大満足でした!
津曲さん、臨機応変なご対応のお陰で、濃厚で一生の思い出になる1日半を過ごすことができました。ありがとうございました!屋久中(屋久島中毒)になりそうです!

The rental of shoes, raincoats, and backpacks was handled efficiently upon arrival at the airport, and the Mizuno raincoat fit well. The shoes also fit my feet perfectly, and I was quite satisfied. (The waterproofing of the raincoat was a bit lacking, though!)
You can also arrange for a bento in advance, so you can enjoy the day without worries.
I was confident in my physical strength and considered going alone, but in the end, I think it was the right choice to have a guide. The guides were attentive, making sure to move aside when faster people were coming from behind on both the trolley path and the hiking trail, but there wasn't much space to avoid others, and it felt like we couldn't really shorten the time that much. Additionally, the number of buses to the trailhead is limited, so going with a tour seems to be the safer option.
If I had to suggest something, it would be great if the members could be arranged to have similar levels of physical strength and walking speed.
靴・レインコート・バックパックのレンタルは、空港到着時に手際よく渡してもらえましたし、ミズノのレインコート。靴も足にしっかりフィットしていて十分満足です。(レインコートの防水はやや甘さがありましたが!)
お弁当も事前に手配できるので、心配なく当日を迎えられます。
体力に自信があったこともあり、一人で行くことも考えましたが、結果的にガイドさんに案内いただいたことは正解だったと思います。
トロッコ道も登山道もガイドさんたちが後ろから早い人がくると避けるよう気を配ってくれていますが、それほど人を避けられるスペースはなく、そこまで時間を短縮できない気がしました。
また、登山口まで行くバスの本数や時間は限られているため、ツアーで行った方が間違いない気がしました。
強いていえば、メンバーは同じ体力・歩行スピードが同じレベルになるよう工夫いただけると良いかと思いました。

I participated in a trekking tour during my first visit to Yakushima. Both the Jomon Sugi trekking and the Shiratani Unsuikyo trekking were blessed with great weather, providing the perfect time to be healed by nature.
Although I haven't been hiking regularly and have been working from home, I was able to enjoy walking for two full days without any issues.
The guides were experienced and knowledgeable, providing not only safety support and advice to complete the trek but also explanations about Yakushima, the plants, and the animals that inhabit the area. They even entertained us with quizzes, making the experience enjoyable. Gaining knowledge about Yakushima through firsthand observation was very meaningful. If you're planning to go trekking, I highly recommend joining this tour!
この度、初めての屋久島観光でトレッキングツアーに参加させて頂きました。
縄文杉トレッキングも白谷雲水峡トレッキングも、どちらも天気に恵まれ、自然に癒される最高の時間でした。
定期的に登山をしていない上に在宅勤務が続いていて、体力に不安があったのですが、楽しく2日間歩き切ることができました。
ガイドの方々は経験も知識も豊富で、安全面や歩き切るためのフォローやアドバイスはもちろん、屋久島、生息する植物や生き物について、説明頂いたり、クイズを出していただき、楽しませて頂きました。実際に目で見て屋久島に関する知識を得られたことがとても有意義でした。トレッキングをされるのであれば、こちらのツアーに参加されることをお勧めします!

The view from Taiko Rock was amazing. It was very enjoyable to walk slowly while talking about animals and plants. I was worried about being able to walk since I went to Jomon Sugi the day before, but I was able to walk comfortably.
太鼓岩からの景色は最高でした。動物や植物の話をしながらゆっくり歩けてとても楽しかったです。前日縄文杉までいったので歩けるか不安でしたが、気持ちよく歩くことができました。
