All Reviews for Hiking & Trekking Tours

Although the weather wasn't perfectly clear, it didn't rain, and the temperature was relatively warm, so I think we were fortunate with the weather. It was still cold during breaks, so I'm glad I dressed warmly!

The snow was melting and made the ground slippery, but thanks to our guide's warnings and the crampons they lent us, we were able to climb safely! We tackled two courses in one day, so I was fully prepared, but my body definitely felt it afterward. I don't usually exercise, so my legs were shaking like a newborn deer right after, and now my knees are sore. You need to be mentally prepared for this. We descended at the scheduled time of 6:30 PM.

However, I truly believe it was worth it because the views were breathtaking everywhere, and I felt a sense of accomplishment afterward! The view from Taiko Rock and the grandeur of Jomon Sugi were both stunning!!!

Moreover, our guide was very talkative and kept us entertained, and they were really good at taking photos. They even brought a Kodama figurine in the mossy forest! Impressive!

I'm extremely satisfied with choosing this tour!

快晴ではありませんでしたが、雨も降らず、気温も割と暖かかったので天気には恵まれたと思います。それでも休憩時は寒かったので防寒しといてよかったです！
雪が溶けかけで滑り易くはありましたが、ガイドさんが注意してくれたりアイゼンを貸してくれたおかげで安全に登れました！
2つのコースを1日で回るので十分に気合を入れて望みましたが、身体は絶対バキバキになります。私は普段運動する習慣がなかったので直後は足が小鹿のように震え、現在はヒザ神です。覚悟が必要です。下山時間は予定通り18時半でした。
でも、本当に行ってよかったと思うくらいどこも絶景で終わった後は達成感があります！太鼓岩からの眺めも、縄文杉の壮大さも圧巻でした！！！
そして、何よりガイドさんが沢山お話ししてくれて飽きなかったし、写真を撮るのがすごく上手で、苔むす森ではコダマの置物を持ってきてくれてました！さすがです！
このツアーを選んですごく大満足です！

The guide's explanations were thorough and good. The weather was nice on the first day, which was great. The weather on the second day wasn't so great, but the snowy scenery was a nice experience.

ガイドさんの説明も丁寧で良かったです。1日目は天気も良くて良かったです。2日目は天候がイマイチでしたが、雪の風景も良い体験でした。

I participated with a friend. I was a bit anxious since it was my first serious trekking experience, but thanks to our guide's appropriate pacing and wonderful stories, I was able to enjoy the entire hike! On the first day, the trekking to Jomon Sugi was blessed with good weather, and I was able to see many amazing views, creating unforgettable memories. On the second day, although it was snowy at Shiratani Unsuikyo, I felt like I got to see the mountain's unique expressions, and in the end, I think it was a very good experience. If I have the opportunity, I would like to visit in a different season as well. I look forward to it again then.

友人と参加しました。初めての本格的なトレッキングで不安もありましたが、ガイドさんの適切なペースメイクと素敵なお話の数々で最後まで楽しく歩き切ることができました！1日目の縄文杉トレッキングはお天気にも恵まれ、素晴らしい景色を沢山見ることができ、忘れられない思い出ができました。2日目の白谷雲水峡はあいにくの雪でしたが、珍しい山の表情を見れた気がして、結果的にはとても良い経験ができたと思います。機会があれば、別の季節にも訪れたいと思っています。その際には、またよろしくお願いします。

It was disappointing that the stay at Daishi Forest Park was reduced to 60 minutes due to the new course, but we were able to efficiently explore the northern area.

On the day of the tour, the weather was nice, and we enjoyed a delicious lunch outdoors. While we were having lunch, the guide opened the bus windows for ventilation, and they took measures against COVID-19, which made us feel safe while sightseeing.

コースが新しくなって、大石林山の滞在が60分になってしまったのが残念でしたが、北部を効率よく回ることができました。
まだ音声ガイドができていないとのことで、日本語が少し不安なガイドさんが、一生懸命ガイドしてくれました。

当日は天気も良く、ランチも外で美味しく食べられてよかったです。
私達が昼食を取っている間などはバスの窓を開けて換気もしておいてくれ、コロナ対策もされていたので安心して観光ができました。

I fulfilled my dream of seeing Jomon Sugi with my own eyes.

The guide was incredibly experienced, and we were able to trek while chatting in a fun and informative way about tips for walking. Initially, we had planned to go on January 2, but it was canceled due to road closures leading to the trailhead. However, I felt reassured by their thorough communication. On the 3rd, although there was snow on the ground, we had clear blue skies and were able to see the most amazing scenery. I don't think it would have been as enjoyable without the guide, and I was satisfied to have climbed alongside everyone else. I think I will ask for their services again when I go back.

縄文杉を自分の目で見るという夢が叶いました。

ガイドの方もものすごく経験豊富、歩き方のコツなど
丁寧に楽しくおしゃべりしながらトレッキング出来ました。
また、1月2日の予定でしたが登山口までの道路の通行止めにより
中止になりましたが丁寧な連絡で安心できましたし、
3日は雪は積もってましたが、晴天の青空
最高の景色を見ることが出来ました。
ガイド無しでは楽しく無かったと思いますし
一緒に登った皆様とも楽しく登れて満足してます。
また行くときはお願いすると思います。

Due to my lack of confidence in my physical strength for climbing and the fact that it was late December, I signed up for a trekking tour in the low-elevation evergreen forest. The fact that it was possible to join alone, there was a pick-up service to the hotel (Miyanoura), and lunch was included in a bento box were also key points for my decision to join.

When the guide invited me to climb a banyan tree, I was surprised since I had no experience in tree climbing, but I decided to take on the challenge since it was a rare opportunity. With the guide's help in navigating where to place my feet, I managed to climb and it became a wonderful memory.

I was also able to encounter the long-awaited Yakuzaru and Yakushika, and I was so engrossed in taking photos and videos that I ended up acting like a stalker at the end (laughs).

Thanks to the guide's kind explanations and accommodating my walking pace, I had a very enjoyable and fulfilling time. Thank you very much. I definitely want to visit again during the fresh green season.

登山する体力に自信がないことと12月下旬であることから、標高の低い照葉樹林のトレッキングツアーに申し込みました。
また、一人でも参加可能、ホテル（宮之浦）まで迎えあり、昼食のお弁当込みであることも申し込みのポイントとしました。
ガイドさんからガジュマルの樹に登ってみませんか、と誘われた時は木登りの経験がないためビックリしましたが、折角のチャンスなのでチャレンジしました。足をかける場所等をナビしてもらいどうにか登ることができ、良い思い出になりました。
念願のヤクザルやヤクシカにも出会え、夢中で写真やビデオを撮り最後にはストーカーのようになっていました（笑）。
ガイドさんの親切な説明、私の歩くペースにあわせていただき、大変楽しく充実した時間を過ごすことができました、ありがとうございました。
次回は是非、新緑の時期に訪れたいです。

I received great support from the guide during this Jomon Sugi trekking tour. I’m not good with heights, but I was able to cross bridges without handrails safely. There were some people who went alone, but I felt much more secure being with a guide. The actual Jomon Sugi was very mystical. If I have the chance, I would like to challenge myself again.

今回の縄文杉トレッキングツアーではガイドさんにとてもお世話になりました。高い所が苦手なわたしでしたが、手すりの無い橋も無事クリアすることができました。単独で行かれる方もいらっしいましたが、できればガイドの方と一緒の方が安心感が違います。実際の縄文杉はとても幻想的でした。機会があればまたチャレンジしてみたいと思いました。

A few years ago, I visited Daishi Forest and Cape Hedo, but this time I participated because the course changed a bit, including a stroll through the mangrove forest. The buns and cheese tarts we had along the way were also very delicious. The lunch was tasty, and I thought I might want to go eat there again. The Okinawa rail was cute, and I wished I could have watched it longer. I'm very grateful to the driver and the tour guide. Thank you very much.

数年前に大石林山と辺戸岬には行きましたが、今回は、マングローブの森散策など、コースが少し変わったので、参加しました。途中で頂いた饅頭やチーズタルトも非常に美味しい食べさせて頂きました。昼食も美味しくて、また、食べに行こうかと思いました。ヤンバルクイナも可愛くて、もっと長く観ていたかったです。運転手さん、添乗員さんにも感謝、感謝です。有り難うございました。

I was moved to see Jomon Sugi, and the trekking was also fun. On the way down, perhaps because we had time, we enjoyed various detours and played around, which made it enjoyable. Thank you, guide!!

縄文杉を見れた感動もありましたが、トレッキングも楽しかったです。下りは時間があったからか、いろいろ寄り道?しながら、遊びながら下ったので楽しかったです。ガイドさんありがとう!!

We participated as a couple in our 70s and 60s. The hiking trail, filled with rocks and tree roots, was quite exhausting. We were out of breath going up and had to stop frequently, and going down, our legs wouldn't cooperate, causing us to trip often. Without the guide's help, I think we would have had to retire partway through. The forest of Yakushima is truly wonderful, and it can only be felt by walking through it yourself. I wish I had gone when I was younger and had more stamina, but thanks to the private guided tour we arranged this time, we were able to make it back and forth to Taiko Rock safely. Thank you for accommodating our many requests.

70と60の夫婦で参加しました。岩と石、木の根っこがはびこる登山道はかなり疲れました。上りは息があがり立ち止まってばかり、下りは足が思うように上がらず躓いてばかり。ガイドさんの助けがなかったら途中でリタイアしていたと思います。屋久島の森は本当に素晴らしく、それは自分で歩いてこそ感じられるものでした。もっと体力のある若い時に行っておけばよかったと思いながら、今回、貸切ガイドツアーをお願いしたおかげで無事に太鼓岩まで往復できました。たくさん我が儘も聞いていただきありがとうございました。

I went by canoe to the foot of the mountain and trekked to Pinai Sara Falls. Since it had rained the day before, the water flow of the falls was great, and it was sunny on the day of our visit, so we were able to see a rainbow. Our guide, Eri, explained the plants and creatures we could see in the mountains and taught us many other things, which made it very enjoyable. The lunch was delicious and made me happy! Thank you very much.

カヌーで山のふもとまで行き、トレッキングをしてピナイサーラの滝まで行きました。前の日が雨だったので滝の水量も良く、当日は晴れていたので、虹も見ることができました。ガイドのえりさんも山で見ることのできる植物や生物の説明までしてくださり、他にもいろんなことを教えてくださり、とても楽しかったです。お弁当もおいしく幸せでした！ありがとうございました。

I was very anxious about my first trekking experience, which was a round trip of 10 hours, but I'm glad I chose a guided tour! It was a tough journey, but I managed to reach Jomon Sugi safely, and the sense of accomplishment felt great♪ Thank you for the valuable experience!＼(^o^)／

初めてのトレッキングで往復10時間という事でとても不安でしたがガイドさん付きのツアーにしてよかったと思いました！ハードな道のりでしたがなんとか無事縄文杉までたどり着き達成感が気持ちよかったです♪貴重な体験をありがとうございました＼(^o^)／

The lunch was delicious, and the little gifts were all tasty as well. We were able to enjoy the sightseeing at a leisurely pace and fully experience the northern region. It was a very good experience.
I think our tour guide, Yoshimura, had a lot of challenges with many unexpected events. Thank you for your hard work. You took many photos for us, and it became a memorable trip. Thank you very much.

昼食も美味しく、ちょっぴりプレゼントもどれもおいしかったです。観光地もゆったりみれ、北部満喫できました。とても良い内容でした。
添乗員の吉村さん、たくさんハプニングがあり大変だったと思います。お疲れ様でした。たくさん写真とっていただいたり、思い出にのこる旅になりました。ありがとうございます。

I'm nearly 70 years old, and I was worried, but the guide encouraged me, and it was enjoyable. For lunch, they made miso soup with natural water, and it was very delicious.

70 才にちかいのですが、心配でしたがガイドさんに励まされそして楽しくそして昼食では天然水で味噌汁を作っていただき大変美味しかっです。

We participated in a long-awaited trekking trip to Yakushima with two couples (in our 50s and 60s). I was particularly anxious as I’m not athletic and it was my first trekking experience, so we opted for a private tour to avoid inconveniencing others. This turned out to be a great decision. Thanks to the wonderful support from Mr. Fujiyama, a local expert on Yakushima, we successfully reached Taiko Rock. He patiently taught us the basics, such as how to use trekking poles and proper walking techniques. When we started to feel tired, he quickly noticed and took regular breaks. He also shared interesting information about Yakushima's history, the Yakusugi trees, moss, and various plants, which was refreshing. Encouraged by him, we pushed on and finally arrived at Taiko Rock, where we were blown away by the breathtaking panoramic view. All our fatigue vanished in an instant. We were able to reach our destination thanks to Mr. Fujiyama's excellent pacing. He also took many photos with the best spots as the backdrop, showcasing his award-winning skills from the Yakushima photo contest. Each photo beautifully captured the mystical scenery, creating precious memories for our group. I would love to request Mr. Fujiyama again for the Jomon Sugi tour next time. Thank you very much for all your help!

念願の屋久島トレッキングに友人夫婦と私達夫婦4人（50代60代）で参加。特に私は運動音痴で初めてのトレッキングで不安が一杯で、他の方の迷惑になってはと貸切にしました。これが大正解。案内して頂いた屋久島を知り尽くした地元ご出身の藤山さんの見事なサポートのおかげで無事太鼓岩まで行くことができました。ストックの使い方、歩き方など基本的なことを丁寧に教えて下さり、また、疲れが出てきた時は、すぐに察してこまめに休憩をとって下さり、屋久島の歴史、屋久杉、苔、草花のことなどわかりやすく教えてくださり、リフレッシュできました。そして、さああともう少しと励まして頂き、太鼓岩に到着し大パロラマの壮大な景色に大感動。疲れも一瞬で吹き飛びました。無事到着できたのも藤山さんの絶妙なペース配分のおかげです。また、ベストスポットを背景に写真も沢山撮って下さり、さすが屋久島写真コンテストで受賞された腕前で、一枚一枚神秘的な景色をバックにとっても上手に撮れていて、グループの大切な記念の写真となりました。次も藤山さんにお願いして縄文杉ツアーに是非挑戦したいです。大変お世話になり本当にありがとうございました。

We toured the island in a counterclockwise direction with a dedicated guide driving us. The guide's explanations were accurate and fascinating, and we could change our destinations based on our preferences. We visited the tea fields in Yakushima, which is geographically the first place to ship "new tea," and also stopped by the Morikyu Shrine, where the fallen Heike warriors are enshrined. We saw the couple Aokou trees, whose roots are intertwined, and visited the Yakushima Lighthouse, which is inaccessible by bus. We also enjoyed the Hirauchi Seacoast Onsen, where bathing is allowed without underwear, as it springs from the sea. I was very satisfied with the experience.

専属のガイドさんの運転で、反時計回りで、島内観光をしました。ガイドさんの説明が的確で興味深く、行く場所も希望で変更出来ました。地理的に一番早く「新茶」が出荷できる屋久島の茶畑に立ち寄ったり、平家の落人が祀られている盛久神社、境内に２本のアコウの根と根が絡み合い合体している夫婦アコウを観光したり、バスでは行けない屋久島灯台、下着厳禁で入浴可能な、海の中から湧き出ている平内海中温泉も観光しました、大満足でした。

It seems that the tour content has been renewed. For me, it was my first time in northern Okinawa. The weather was slightly rainy. I was a bit anxious about walking in the forest, but it turned out to be more enjoyable than I had imagined!

We were picked up at 7:30 AM in front of the prefectural office and took a bus for about two hours to our first destination. The seating arrangement on the bus was spacious, and I felt that there was consideration for COVID-19 measures.

I believe the biggest attraction of this tour is the Daisekirinzan. We were given an hour and a half for free exploration, which was really fulfilling. Of course, walking in nature can be challenging due to roots and muddy areas. A distance of 1 km that could be walked in 15 minutes on flat ground took twice as long, as per the guide's advice. However, during the free exploration time, the guide provided markers at key points, giving us time estimates and knowledge, which allowed us to proceed with confidence.

And the scenery was beautiful. The light filtering through the trees, glimpses of the coastline, and distant islands created a sense of liberation that made me want to stretch up high.

As for the return trip, it depends on traffic conditions, but I think it's good to plan for around 6:30 PM. It was a day filled with wonderful memories.

リニューアルされたらしいツアー内容だったそうです。
私にとって、初の沖縄北部。若干小雨のコンディション。
森歩きに不安はありましたが、想像以上に楽しかったです！

朝7時半の県庁前からのピックアップでバスに乗り、
約2時間で最初の目的地までの道のり...
バスの中は、十分に余裕を持った席配置で、
コロナ対策への配慮がされていると感じました。

このツアーの一番の魅力は、大石林山だと思います。
今回、自由散策1時間半の時間をとってもらって、すごく満喫できました。
もちろん、自然の中を歩くので、根っこやぬかるみなど、歩きにくい。
平地なら15分で歩ける1Kmが、添乗員さんのアドバイス通り、倍の時間が掛かります。でも、自由散策時間でも、添乗員さんがポイントポイントで道標してくださって、時間の目安や知識を教えてくれたので、安心して行程を進むことができました。
そして、目に映る景色、光景が美しいこと。
木々の間から差し込む光や、垣間見える海岸、遠くに見える島など、思わず背伸びしてしまう解放感がここにありました。

帰りは渋滞具合によりますが、18:30くらいを目安に予定を立てれば良いと思います。
楽しい思い出ができた一日でした。

We were blessed with the best weather, making it truly an unforgettable and wonderful memory! The instructor was just the right distance in his approach, knowledgeable, and bright, making it a fun experience.

By chance, we were slightly out of sync with the other tour guests, allowing us to enjoy the river and beautiful scenery all to ourselves.

The scenery and air are simply the best. I felt that trekking in the peak of summer would be tough, so I’m glad I could experience it in this season!

最高なお天気に恵まれ、本当に忘れられない素晴らしい思い出になりました！インストラクターのお兄さんはちょうど良い距離感で接してくれて、知識も豊富で明るく楽しませていただきました。
たまたま他のツアー客の方々と微妙に時間がずれた為、川や美しい景色を独占できました。
とにかく景色、空気が最高です。真夏のトレッキングはキツそうだなと感じので、この季節に体験ができて、良かったです！

Unfortunately, the weather was not great. I couldn't see all the scenery I was supposed to, but I'm glad I participated in the only tour in the northern region. The participants were all different, but I think the guide's personality made it a fun tour. I also appreciated their flexibility in accommodating us.

As for souvenirs, most of them seemed better to eat on the spot, so it felt like I was constantly eating. But they were delicious, and thanks to that, I felt satisfied even with the poor scenery. The lunch was also tasty.

I can drive, but since the northern area is a bit far, I decided to join the tour, and I have no regrets. The regular price might be a bit high compared to other tours. If it's around ¥7000 to ¥8000, I would consider joining again.

あいにくの天気。全て見られるはずの景色は見られませんでしたが、北部唯一のツアー、参加して良かったです。参加者が変わった方ばかりでしたが..ガイドさんの人柄で楽しいツアーになったと思います。柔軟に対応しようしてたところもよかったです。

おみやげはどれもその場で食べた方がいい感じのものばかりだったので、ずーっと食べてる感じでした。でも美味しかったし、そのおかげで景色が悪くても満足感がありました。昼も美味しかった。

運転できるけど北部はちょっと遠いので参加したのですが後悔なしです。通常価格だと高いかなー。他のツアーに比べて。¥7000〜8000ならまた参加しようかなと思います。

This was my second visit to Jomon Sugi, and I was excited after a long time. I had imagined it would be similar to my last visit, which had only two participants, but this time there were five. I was a bit worried since I'm not great with large groups, but I can say that those concerns were completely unnecessary; I had an amazing and satisfying experience. The guide was very knowledgeable, and their consideration and warmth made the experience pleasant. Everyone I was with was also very nice, which made the time enjoyable. I now have more things I want to challenge and places I want to visit on Yakushima for next time, which has made my experience even more fulfilling. Thank you for a wonderful time!

今回2度目の縄文杉で、久しぶりでドキドキしており、前回が参加者2名だったため、同じ感じを想像していたところ実際は5名。大人数が苦手なためやや心配していたのですが、そんな不安は無駄だったと言えるくらい大満喫、大満足でした。ガイドさんは知識が豊富で、また配慮や温度感が心地よく、ご一緒してくださった方々も感じが良い方ばかりで、とても楽しく過ごすことができました。また、次回屋久島でチャレンジしてみたいことや行ってみたいところもでき、ますます充実度が増しました。素敵な時間をありがとうございました！

I had never been north of Nago in Okinawa Main Island, and since the tour included attractions I had wanted to visit, such as Cape Hedo and the Oishi Forest, I signed up for it. The lunch was also luxurious and very delicious. I was able to experience feeding Kuu-chan, the Okinawa rail, and the content of the tour exceeded my expectations. I even received four types of small gifts as a little present. The guide was kind, making it the best day ever. Plus, it was part of the Go To program, so it was very affordable.

沖縄本島は名護より北には行った事が無く以前から行きたかった辺戸岬や大石林山等々の観光が含まれていたのでツアーに申し込みました。
昼食も豪華でとっても美味しかった。
ヤンバルクイナのくーちゃんの餌やりタイムにも遭遇出来思った以上にツアーの内容が良く、ちょっぴりプレゼントとしても4種類も頂きました。ガイドさんも親切な人で最高の1日でした。そしてGo To対象だったので凄く割安でした。

This tour covers several places that are difficult to visit alone, with a reasonable amount of time spent at each location. The meals were quite delicious, making for a highly satisfying experience.

The stunning views at the Great Stone Forest (it might be tough for very small children as it can be a bit steep), and the mangroves that you can walk through are definitely worth it. You can generally see what you expect. If you're lucky, you might even spot some wildlife, though I found it a bit scary (laughs).

*Make sure to wear comfortable clothing for walking. While you won't be walking for long periods, there are some quite rugged areas.*

一人では行きにくい場所をいくつも網羅してくれているツアーで各ツアーでの滞在時間もほどよく、食事もかなり美味しく相当満足感の高いツアーでした。

かなり絶景の大石林山(ちょっと険しいので小さすぎる子供は大変かも？)、歩いて見ることが出来るマングローブ、そう言うニーズあるんじゃないでしょうか、概ね想像通りのものが見れますよー。
野生動物も運が良ければ善きに悪きに目撃できます、私は少し怖かったけど(笑)

※必ず歩きやすい格好で行きましょう。
　長時間は歩かないですが結構険しい場所もあります

I had always wanted to visit Jomon Sugi. It was my first time trekking, but I was taught how to walk with minimal strain, and along the way, I was guided through various plants, which made it very enjoyable. One guide led a group of seven of us. Since it’s early in the morning and dark, a flashlight is essential.

一度は行きたいと思っていた縄文杉。
トレッキングは初めてだったのですが、負担の少ない歩き方から教えていただいたり、道中はいろいろな植物をガイドしていただいたので、とても楽しかったです。
1人のガイドさんで7人を案内いただきました。
朝早く暗いので、懐中電灯必須です。

The day before, I went to Jomon Sugi, so my legs were worn out, but I really wanted to go to the moss-covered forest, so I pushed through. Next time I go, I’ll take on Taiko Rock for a revenge trip.

前日に縄文杉まで行ったので足がボロボロ、でも苔むす森までは行きたかったので頑張っていきました。次回行くなら太鼓岩までリベンジです。

The trekking itself was a fulfilling and wonderful experience.
However, the rental of climbing gear included in this activity diminished that experience significantly.

The night before the trekking, the climbing gear was delivered to the hotel.
Since this is an activity eligible for the Go To Travel program, I thought they were taking proper COVID-19 precautions, but when I tried to pack my belongings into the backpack, I found a wrapper from shrimp crackers and used tissue paper in the side pocket.
It was hard to believe they had sanitized anything before lending it out, and it was quite unsettling.
I really can't believe they are taking COVID-19 precautions.
It's strange that this is eligible for the Go To Travel program.
I thought I would have to sanitize everything myself to be able to use it, and when I took out the rainwear to sanitize it, I found that the middle of the backside was torn, and there was a hole in the calf area that had been taped shut.
So this is what "rental included" means.

トレッキング自体は充実した、素晴らしい体験でした。
しかしこちらのアクティビティに含まれた登山アイテムレンタルがそれを半減以下にしてしまいました。

トレッキングの前日の夜に登山アイテムをホテルに届けて下さいました。
go to トラベル適用のアクティビティなのでコロナ対策は勿論してくださっていると思っていましたが、ザックに自分の荷物を積めようとしたら、サイドのポケットからえびせんべいの包み紙、使用済のティッシュペーパーが出てきました。
何の除菌もせず貸し出したとしか思えず、ゾッとしました。
とてもコロナ対策をしているとは思えません。
go to トラベル適用なのが不思議です。
これは自分でしっかり除菌をしないととても使えないと思い、レインウェアも取り出して除菌すると、お尻の真ん中は破れていて、脹ら脛にも穴があってセロテープて閉じられていました。
レンタル込みとはこういうことだったのですね。

I was worried about whether I could climb, but the guide kept us entertained, and I was able to safely complete the ascent and descent. I've always wanted to climb at least once in my life, so I'm glad I did. As for my outfit, I regret wearing plain clothes since colorful outfits look better in photos.

登れるか心配でしたが、ガイドさんが楽しませてくださり、最後まで無事に登山・下山できました。人生に一度は登りたいと思っていので、登れてよかったです。服装は、カラフルな服装のほうが、写真映えがするので、地味な服装で挑んだことが心残りでした。

While protecting my injured left knee from the previous day, I borrowed a supporter from our guide, Mr. Shiramizui, and received various assistance, which allowed me to enjoy the mossy forest. I hope to try the Taiko Rock next time if I have the opportunity.

前日痛めた左膝を庇いながらの挑戦、ガイドの白水さんからサポーターをお借りしたり色々手助け頂き何とか苔むす森までは楽しめました。太鼓岩は機会があれば次回にトライしたいと思います。

Since it was a private guide, they adjusted the speed and breaks to accommodate my wife, who has limited stamina. Thanks to that, we were able to enjoy ourselves at our own pace without worrying about others. The guidance was also easy to understand and very good.

貸切ガイドなので脚力の無い家内に合わせてスピードと休憩を考えて頂きました。　お陰でほかの方を気にせずマイペースで楽しめました。　案内も分かり易く良かったです。

First of all, I was prepared for the rain, but I was fortunate with the weather. I thought it would be dull to walk alone in a solo trip, so I signed up for a local tour to hear various stories from the area. To my surprise, I had a great guide (a resident from Tochigi) which made the round trip of 10 hours enjoyable (though a bit tough), and I was able to fully appreciate the deep nature leading to Jomon Sugi.

まずは、雨は覚悟の上だったが天候に恵まれた。ひとり旅で黙々と歩くのも味気ないと思い、色々な現地話も聞きたいと現地ツアーに申込んだが、思いのほかいいガイドさん（栃木出身移住者）で往復の10時間が楽しく（少々辛く）、縄文杉までの奥自然が堪能できました。

I thought 10 hours would be long, but it went by in a flash. In the morning, I walked quietly in the dark and didn't know where I was going, but on the way back, I got to see some wonderful scenery. I was overwhelmed by the Great Cedar and Jomon Cedar, and it was very healing!

10時間は長いなと思いましたが、あっという間でした。
朝は真っ暗な中を黙々と、どこを歩いていたのかわからなかったですが、復路では素敵な景色を見れました。
大王杉・縄文杉に圧倒されましたし、とても癒されました！
