All Reviews for Outdoor Activities

I participated in a tour during the summer vacation in August.

The weather was clear for both days! I thought we were lucky with the weather, but according to our guide, the clouds over Shiratani Unsuikyo after the rain are the most beautiful.

We traveled for about two hours in total by shuttle and bus, but since it was on mountain roads, I regretted not taking motion sickness medication...

The Jomon Sugi course involved a route of trolley path → mountain path → Jomon Sugi, but the trolley path was too long and it was hell. There were wooden boards on the rails that we had to walk on, but some boards were floating or missing, and if I didn't lift my knees properly, my feet would get caught. It was also a difficult path to use trekking poles.

The mountain path was very enjoyable, but I struggled with the endless stairs and the steep slope of Hell's Third Street (as named by the guide).

It was a very fun tour, but the pace was fast, making it difficult to take pictures or enjoy the scenery thoroughly.

For infection prevention measures, we were instructed to wear masks while on the bus.

If you can complete the Jomon Sugi course on the first day, you can definitely clear the Shiratani Unsuikyo!

Even beginners can challenge this course if they prepare properly with trekking shoes, a backpack, snacks, and water.

Please be careful of muscle soreness. Your calves will get tight, so I recommend getting your body in shape before participating.

8月の夏休みを利用して、ツアーに参加しました。

天候は2日とも快晴！天気に恵まれたと思っていましたが、ガイドさんいわく、雨上がりの雲水峡が1番きれいとのこと。

送迎+バスでトータル2時間くらい移動しましたが、山道だったため、酔い止めを飲んでおけばよかったと後悔しました…


縄文杉コースは、トロッコ道→山道→縄文杉という道のりでしたが、トロッコ道が長すぎて、地獄でした。レールの上に木の板があって、その上を歩くのですが、板が浮いていたり、無いとこもあり、膝をしっかりあげないと足がひっかかりました。ストックも使いづらい道でした。

山道は道中とても楽しかったですが、階段をひたすら上がったり、斜面が急な地獄の3丁目(ガイドさん命名)に苦戦しました。

とても楽しいツアーでしたが、進むペースが早くてじっくり写真を撮ったり景色をみることは難しかったです。

感染対策は、乗車中はマスクをする、ことを案内されてました。

初日の縄文杉コースをクリアできたら、白谷雲水峡は確実にクリアできます！

初心者でもトレッキングシューズやリュック、行動食、お水など装備をしっかり整えれば挑戦できるコースでした。

筋肉痛には気をつけてください。ふくらはぎがパンパンになるので、体調を整えて、参加されることをお勧めします。

The staff were kind and it was enjoyable.
I could feel the nature of Okinawa!
It was great that they offered hat rentals!
If you participate, it might be a good idea to wear long sleeves for sun protection.

スタッフの方も親切で楽しかったです。
沖縄の自然を感じられました！
帽子の貸し出しもあったのがよかったです！
参加するなら長袖で日焼け対策をするといいかもしれません。

I was able to do both in one day. It seems to be quite a challenging tour, and it appears that the guide doesn't often conduct this tour.

Fortunately, everyone in the group was able to walk until the end, but I was nervous about not holding everyone back (especially since there was a final bus time...).

The guide was knowledgeable and answered all our questions. The weather was good, and it was sunny at Taiko Rock. In the second half, it was cloudy, which helped keep it from being too hot, and I was very satisfied.

However, the reason I gave it four stars instead of five is that at the time of departure, we were worried when the pickup didn't arrive for over 10 minutes. When I called, I finally got through on the third try, and all I was told was "just wait," resulting in us waiting about 20 minutes.

By the time we arrived at the entrance and were having breakfast, they apologized.

I understand that island time is a thing to some extent, but if there are delays, it would be helpful to receive a notification early on about how long we might have to wait. Since it was very early in the morning, there were no other means to confirm (or contact) anyone, which made me anxious. Since we had specifically requested the tour, I deducted one star.

１日で、どちらも行っていただきました。
やはり大変なツアーらしく、なかなかガイドさんもそのツアーをされないらしいツアー。

幸い、参加したメンバーみんな元気に最後まで歩けましたが、私がみんなの足を引っ張らないかドキドキしました。(最終のバスの時間もあるので、、、)

ガイドさんは、何でもご存知で質問は全て答えて下さいました。
天気も良く太鼓岩では晴れて、後半は曇ったおかげで暑すぎず、大変満足しました。

ただ一点、星を4つにした理由としては、
出発時、10分以上たっても送迎来られず心配になり電話をかけると、3回目でやっと繋がり「ちょっと待って」とだけ言われるだけで、結局約 20分待ちました。
結局入り口に到着して朝食を食べている時になり、詫びていただきましたが。

島時間なのはある程度理解しますが、
遅れるのなら早めに、また何分ほど待つと連絡いただけないと、大変早朝なので他に確認(連絡)する手段がないので、心配になりました。
折角ツアーに頼んでるので。
星を一つ減らしました。

I had to change my schedule to the next day because they couldn't provide transportation, but after checking the weather, I decided to stick to the original plan. The reservation change was smooth.

I was reminded repeatedly that the roads can get congested, so I departed at the designated time and arrived without any issues. Despite the unfortunate heat, the clear skies over Shiretoko Five Lakes were amazing. It seemed that the bear activity season around Shiretoko Five Lakes had ended, but there were still fresh footprints and claw marks, allowing me to fully enjoy the great outdoors.

The explanations during the journey were thorough, and we were able to take photos at the viewpoints, creating wonderful memories. In the afternoon, we moved to start at the Shiretoko Nature Center. There are no vending machines here, so there was a long line at the café to buy bottled drinks. I recommend preparing for this when returning to the city of Shari for lunch.

We passed through abandoned houses that are returning to nature and entered the primeval forest, where we were greeted by a wild red fox near the center. It looked thin and natural, as it was wild. I heard it was preying on mice near the roadside.

I had a fun time staring down an Ezo deer on the cliff.

送迎ができないとのことで翌日に変更していましたが、天気を見て急きょもとの日程に。スムーズな予約変更でした。
道路が込むので！とくどいほど念をおされたので指定された時間に出発。スムーズに到着しました。
あいにくの暑さの中でしたが、晴れ渡った知床五湖は最高。知床五湖周辺での熊の活動時期は終わったようでしたが、足跡、爪痕他まだ生々しいものもあり大自然を満喫できました。
道中の解説も丁寧で、ビューポイントで写真撮影もして頂き、いい思い出となりました。
午後からは場所を代えて知床自然センタースタート。ここには自販機がないので、カフェでペットボトルを買うのに大行列でした。昼食で斜里市街地に戻った際に準備されることをお勧めします。
放棄され自然に戻りつつある住宅跡を抜けて原生林へ、その前にセンター付近でキタキツネのお出迎え。野生ですので痩せた自然の姿でした。車道近くでネズミを捕食しているとのことでした。
崖上のエゾシカとに睨み合ったりして、楽しいひと時でした。

After August, it wasn't a guided tour, was it? I requested a guide, but I felt somewhat deceived financially.

The content included stories about bears, plants, and the history of Shiretoko, which I thought was very good. The tour was canceled due to a bear encounter, but by August, they are no longer around. I think experiencing the thrill in July would be better.

8月以降、ガイドマストじゃなかったんですね。
ガイドさんをお願いしたわけですが、お金的になんか騙された感じ。

内容は、熊の話、植物の話、知床の歴史とふんだんに教えてもらい、大変良かったと思います。クマとの遭遇でツアー中止となりますが、8月はもういない状況。7月にって、ドキドキ感を味わうのがいいと思います。

I wasn't confident in my physical strength and was unsure about the 22-kilometer trek, but thanks to the guide's experience, I was able to pace myself well. My long-held wish came true, and I was moved. Thank you so much.

体力に自信がなく、22キロの工程をどうかと思ったが、ガイドさんの経験からペース配分がしっかり出来た。念願がかなった、感動した。本当にありがとう。

I had a great time.
Thank you for being so kind to everyone.
I want to go again.

The kids were also very happy.
It was the best!

とっても楽しかったです
皆さんに親切にしていただき
ありがとうございました
また行きたいです

子供達も大喜びでした
最高でした

Two years ago, I was heartbroken while snorkeling in the rain. This time, I was eager to go, but I was very anxious because my schedule coincided with the passing and approaching typhoon. However, it turned out to be beautifully sunny. I snorkeled at three points, and at the end, I was deeply moved to see a sea turtle majestically swimming in the blue ocean. Every staff member was cheerful and attentive, making my experience pleasant from departure to return. I would definitely like to use your services again on another occasion.

2年前は雨の中のシュノーケリングで傷心のままでした。今回は意気込んできましたが台風通過と台風接近の間に日程が重なり大変不安でしたが、ものの見事に快晴でした。3ポイントでシュノーケリングをし、最後にウミガメを青い海中で雄大に泳いでいる姿を見て大変感動しました。スタッフの誰もが元気よく対応して頂き出発から帰港する迄気持ち良く過ごせました。又の機会も是非お世話になりたいです。

The guides were very kind.
I was grateful to be able to borrow a full set of equipment.

Since we shared the boat with many other courses, the round trip time and waiting time were quite long, and the time spent in the water was short.
I wish I could have spent more time in the water.

ガイドの方達はとても親切でした。
道具を一式貸していただけてありがたかったです。

たくさんのコースの方と同船するので
往復の時間や待ち時間がとても長く
水に入っている時間が短かったです。
もっと水に入っていたかったな。

Before returning from my sightseeing in Sapporo, I decided to experience Hokkaido's nature and joined this tour that offers airport transfers. The plan I booked was a two-hour full course canoeing on the Bibi River.

There were swans in the river, so I was able to see them up close. Enjoying canoeing alongside the swans was a rare experience. The river, surrounded by trees, looked like a green tunnel and was very beautiful.

However, it can be quite challenging to paddle on windy days, so it's best to go with a friend who has good stamina.

札幌観光から帰る前に北海道の自然も体験しようと思い、空港からの送迎があるこのツアーに参加しました。申し込んだプランは、美々川カヌーの2時間フルコースです。
川に白鳥がいるので、間近で白鳥を見ることができました。白鳥といっしょにカヌーを楽しめたのは貴重な体験でした。また木々に囲まれた川は緑のトンネルの様でとても美しかったです。
ただし風の強い日に漕ぐのはとても大変なので、体力のある友人といっしょに行くのが良いでしょう。

The guide was a foreigner fluent in Japanese, who occasionally lightened the mood with jokes and kept the atmosphere cheerful! Since it was my first experience with canoeing, I felt a bit anxious at first, but after the first hour of the course, I was able to handle it well. In the second half, which became a bit more jungle-like, I was able to enjoy the scenery. Along the way, I encountered various creatures such as herons, swans, and fish, making it a very satisfying experience. This time, I used it as a couple, but even those without much strength can manage it easily, so I recommend it for family trips as well!

ガイドは日本語が流暢な外国人の方で、時折冗談も交えて、陽気に場を盛り上げてくれました！カヌーは初体験だったので、少し不安がありましたが、前半のコース1時間でしっかり操作できるようになり、後半の少しジャングルになったコースでは、景色を楽しむことができました。コースの途中では、サギや白鳥、また魚などさまざまな生き物に触れることができ、とても満足な体験でした。今回は、カップルで利用しましたが、力のない方でも十分に操作できるので、家族連れの旅行でもオススメです！

Although the meeting place was a bit difficult to find, I received clear instructions when I called. The weather was nice, the water temperature was just right, and I was able to enjoy the beautiful scenery and the flow of the river. The river was clear, and I could see schools of fish. The staff also provided information about nearby cafes and delicious bakeries. During the rafting, they took photos at various points, but I was informed that all the photos would cost 2,000 yen. I wish they offered a cheaper option for fewer photos.

集合場所が分かりづらかったものの、電話したところ分かりやすく教えてもらいました。
天気も良く、水温も冷たすぎず、綺麗な景色と川の流れを楽しむことが出来ました。川は透き通っており魚の群れを見ることができました。
スタッフの方には近くのカフェや美味しいパン屋さん情報も教えて頂きました。
ラフティング 中も、所々で写真を撮っていただいたのですが、有料で2000円で全ての写真が含まれるとの事でした。枚数が少なくていいのでお安く販売して欲しかったです。

The day after the typhoon passed, the waves and winds were strong, so unfortunately, snorkeling was canceled. However, they quickly provided an alternative plan, and I was able to enjoy a wonderful day in Iriomote. Not only the activities, but also the enjoyable conversations and the personality of the guide made for great memories.

台風通過の翌日だったため、波風が強く、残念ながらシュノーケリングは中止になってしまいましたが、すぐに別のプランで対応していただき、西表での一日を楽しくすごすことができました。
アクティビティはもちろん、担当していただいたガイドさんとの楽しい会話や人柄に触れることもでき、いい思い出になりました。

I participated in rafting with three friends. The meeting place was at Mikasa Ski Resort, and I was a bit confused at first, but the locals quickly guided me.

Once we got on the boat and entered the river, we experienced both some rough currents and calm areas, feeling the natural negative ions, which was absolutely amazing.

At the jumping spot along the way, I was able to jump from my preferred height, and it felt really great. The local staff were very kind, and I was able to enjoy myself wholeheartedly.

友達と4人でラフティングをしようということになり、参加させていただきました。集合場所は三笠スキー場で、最初は場所に戸惑いましたが、現地の方にすぐに案内して頂きました。
実際にボートに乗って川に出ると、流れが少し激しいところや、穏やかなところなどを下りながら、自然のマイナスイオンを感じることが出来てとても最高でした。
途中にある飛び込みスポットでは、自分の好きな高さから飛び込むをする事が出来て、とても気持ち良かったです。
現地のスタッフの方がとても親切で、心から楽しむ事が出来ました。

I participated in mid-July. Due to the impact of COVID-19, there were reportedly fewer climbers, but I still saw many people from early morning. I was able to enjoy trekking without any strain. However, the Jomon Sugi requires more walking than I expected, so it might be wise for older individuals to keep that in mind. It was fun to learn about various things related to the island. While it seems you can hike to Jomon Sugi alone, I still recommend joining a tour. As a note, please be careful as bad weather may lead to canceling visits to Taiko Rock and Jomon Sugi.

7月中旬に参加しました
コロナの影響で登山客は少なかったそうですがそれでも早朝から人は多く見かけました
無理なくトレッキングを楽しめました
が、縄文杉は思っていたより長く歩くのでご年配の方は念頭に置いていた方が良いかも知れません
色々島の事も教えて下さり楽しかったです
縄文杉は1人でも登山できるようですがやはりツアーの参加をお勧めします
注意としては天気が悪いと太鼓岩や縄文杉は断念する場合もあるそうなので気を付けてください

On the day of the activity, I arrived at the location 10 minutes early, but there was no instructor present, and I almost ended up playing park golf there. However, shortly after, the instructor arrived, and we set off. First, we jumped from the cliff into the rubber boat. I got scared thinking about people falling from that cliff, but it turned out to be a gentle slope into the river. At first, the water was very cold, but I gradually got used to it, and by the end, I was able to jump from about 8 meters, which felt amazing. The instructor's dog was especially cute and friendly. Spring is definitely the best time for this activity.

当日、10分前に現地に着きましたが、インストラクターの方がおらず、危うくそこのパークゴルフをしてしまいそうになりました。しかし、すこし後にインストラクターの方が来てくださり、いざ出発。まずはゴムボートを崖からぼーん。人もこの崖から落ちるのかと思うと怖くなりましたが、そんなことはなくなだらかなところから川へ。はじめはとても冷たかったが、徐々に慣れていき、最後には8メートルほどのところがジャンプもできて、とても気持ち良かったです。特にインストラクターの方が飼ってる犬がとても可愛く、人懐こかったです。春どきが一番アツいしいです。

This was my first time rafting, and I was very nervous, but the instructors taught us how to ride and move in a very thorough manner, so I was able to feel at ease while on the raft! Additionally, during the trip, the instructors shared many interesting and informative stories, so I never felt bored and was able to enjoy myself fully. I even jumped from the highest point, which was a valuable experience. I heard that the current is faster in early spring, so I definitely want to try it again then!

今回初めてのラフティングということで、とても緊張していたのですが、インストラクターの方々が丁寧に乗り方から移動の仕方などを教えていただいたので、安心して乗ることができました！また、道中もインストラクターの方がためになる話や面白い話をたくさん話していただいたので、少しも暇を感じることなく楽しむことができました。飛び込みも一番高いところから飛べたし、貴重な経験ができました。春先の方が流れが早いらしいので、春先も是非体験させていただこうと思いました！

I had a very valuable and enjoyable experience!
I would like to write about the experience and my impressions following the flow of the tour.

First, the meeting points listed by the travel agency and the tour company were different. However, it seems that this has already been corrected, so I don't think there's any need to worry. Since we were the only participants in this tour, they allowed us to proceed at our own pace, but the facility at the meeting point where we were supposed to change and use the restroom was closed, and the staff was not aware of this.
The transfer to the river where we started rafting involved descending steep cliffs and moving through bushes, which I felt might be quite hard for those with young children or elderly participants. However, those who are confident in their physical fitness will likely enjoy it a lot!
I had the image of rafting as going down rapid waters vigorously in a boat, but the river was very calm, and I was able to enjoy the scenery while chatting with the staff. The water was so clear that I could see all the way to the bottom, and there were many birds and fish, allowing us to fully enjoy nature! I heard there is also a stand-up paddleboarding tour. You can climb the rocky surfaces and jump off the cliffs.
After the rafting experience, we could purchase photos taken by the staff at many points for 1,000 yen. I thought there would be a shower afterward, but there was none. The water in the river was so clean that it didn't bother me too much, but I honestly felt a bit uncertain about that aspect. They provided a simple tent for changing, though.
The staff were friendly and funny, sharing many stories about the charm of Hokkaido while mixing in jokes! If you don't mind a more casual feel that is a bit different from a large, safe, and well-structured tour, I think you will really enjoy it! We ourselves had a very fun and valuable experience, and we are very satisfied. I definitely want to participate again! Thank you very much!

とても貴重で楽しい体験をすることができました！！
ここではツアーの流れに沿って体験内容と感想を書いていこうと思います。

まず、旅行会社とツアー会社によって記載された集合場所が違っていました。しかしそれに関してはもう訂正されたようなので心配ないと思います。今回のツアーの参加者は私たちだけだったこともあり、自分たちのペースに合わせてツアーを進めてくださいましたが、本来そこで着替えたりトイレを済ますはずの集合場所にある施設がしまっていて、そのことをスタッフが把握していませんでした。
ラフティングを開始する川までの移動は険しい崖を下ったり、草むらの中を移動したりと、幼い子供を連れた方や高齢の方にはかなりハードなのでは？と感じました。体力に自信のある方はそこも含めてかなり楽しめると思います！
ラフティングというと急流をボートで勢いよく下っていくというようなイメージを持っていましたが、川はとても穏やかで、スタッフと会話しながら周りの景色を楽しむことができました。川は本当に透き通るほど美しく、水が綺麗で底まで見ることができました。鳥や魚も多くいて大自然を満喫できました！サップのツアーもあるそうです。自力で岩肌を上り、崖から飛び込みもできます。
ラフティング体験後はスタッフがたくさんのポイントで撮ってくださった写真を1000円で購入することができました。私はその後シャワーを浴びたりできるのだと思っていたのですが、シャワーはありませんでした。川の水がとても綺麗だったのであまり気になりませんでしたが、その点に関しては正直少しどうなのかな、、、と感じました。着替えは簡易テントを用意してくださりそこでしましたが。
スタッフも気さくで面白い方で、ジョークを交えながら北海道の魅力をたくさん話してくださいました！大手の安全でしっかりとしたツアーとは少し違った、ラフな感じが気にならない方はとても楽しめると思います！私たち自身はとても楽しく貴重な体験をさせていただき、とても満足です。ぜひまた参加したいと思います！ありがとうございました！！

I was exhausted from the long hike, but thanks to our guide, I had a great time! I learned about the names of birds and plants, as well as the history of Yakusugi!

長いハイキングでくたくたになりましたが、ガイドさんのおかげで楽しめました！鳥や植物の名前、屋久杉の歴史も教えてもらえました！

While it's possible to go by bus individually, the round-trip shuttle service to the accommodation was very helpful. Especially on the way back, we were taken right after our arrival, so there was no loss of time.

The guide adjusted the walking pace and was considerate to ensure we didn't get tired.

Yakushima is known for its rain, but we were blessed with great weather, making for the best Jomon Sugi trekking experience.

個人でもバスで行けなくはありませんが、宿まで往復送迎が付いていて助かりました。特に帰りは到着後すぐに送ってもらえてロスがありませんでした。

ガイドさんは歩くペースを調整してくれて、疲れないように気を遣っていただけました。

雨が多い屋久島ですが、天気に恵まれ最高の縄文杉トレッキングでした。

On the day of the tour, I received a message asking if I could come earlier because the weather looked questionable. I informed them that I had a tight schedule and could only make it at the earliest time available, which seemed to leave them a bit uncertain, but the guide was very friendly. They took a lot of photos for me, and it became a wonderful memory.

当日に観光中、天気が怪しいので早めに来られますか？と連絡があり、予定が詰まっており最速でこの時間ですと伝えると、うーんという感じでしたが、とても気さくなガイドさんでした。
写真もたくさん撮っていただき、とてもいい思い出になりました。

The guide was very knowledgeable and explained many things that I wouldn't have noticed if I had walked alone. I was able to observe various aspects of the Shiretoko forest, and I was taken to some beautiful scenic spots. It was definitely worth participating.

ガイドさんの知識が豊富で、自分だけで歩いたら気づかないようなことをたくさん説明してもらえました。知床の森についていろいろ観察でき、ちゃんと景色の良いところにも連れて行ってもらえました。参加したかいがありました。

We participated as a family of three.
The schedule was originally in the afternoon, but due to the typhoon, it was suddenly changed to the morning.
We were a bit far from our accommodation and arrived 10 minutes late. Thank you to everyone who waited.
The location was Kabira Bay, which was a very beautiful place.
Our family quickly grasped the tips for stand-up paddleboarding and were able to stand on the board.
About halfway through, my son's stamina reached its limit, and it really does require physical strength.
We took many photos, and it became a wonderful memory for our family.
Thank you very much.

家族3人で参加しました。
予定は午後だったが台風の影響で急遽午前中に変更しました。
宿泊地から少し距離があって集合時間より10分遅れました。待てた皆さんに感謝します。
場所は川平湾で非常に綺麗な場所でした。
家族3人すぐにsupのコツをつかんでボードに立つことが出来ました。
半分の距離ぐらいで息子の体力が限界で、やはり体力が求められます。
何枚の写真を撮ってもらって、家族にとって非常にいい思い出になりました。
ありがとうございました。

I participated in a canoeing experience with my daughter. It was raining, so I was unsure whether to go, but I decided to join, and it was the right choice! I was able to enjoy the unique scenery that only rain can provide and feel the beauty of nature, which was a lot of fun. Canoeing while enjoying the forest bath was a great experience. I was able to fully enjoy nature that felt like it was far from Sapporo, and I was very satisfied. The staff were very kind and easy to talk to, which was great. I felt safe while experiencing canoeing. They taught us various things, and I learned that on sunny days, you can see fish, and the autumn foliage is also wonderful, so I would like to participate again.

娘とカヌー体験に参加しました。雨だったのでどうしようかと迷いましたが、思い切って参加して大正解！雨ならではの景色や、自然の美しさを感じる事ができ、とても楽しかったです。カヌーをしながら森林浴。札幌とは思えない自然を満喫でき、大満足でした。スタッフの方もとても親切で話しやすい方で良かったです。安心してカヌーを体験できました。色々な事を教えてくれて、晴れた日は魚がみれることや、紅葉の時期も素晴らしいとの事で、また参加したいと思いました。

I was able to explore at a leisurely pace with a small group guided tour! They answered all my questions thoroughly, and it was so much fun!!!

少人数でのガイドでのんびりと探索することができました！！質問にも全てきちんと答えてくださって、とっても楽しかったです！！！

On the day of the tour, unfortunately, it was cloudy, and there was an incident in the morning where a bear appeared at the five lakes, leading to a temporary closure. However, the guide seemed accustomed to handling such situations and adjusted the routes for the morning and afternoon, allowing us to complete the tour safely. It was enjoyable to walk while listening to the knowledgeable guide talk about the claw marks from the bear trying to climb a tree and the mushrooms at our feet.

参加当日はあいにくの曇り空、午前中五湖に熊が出て一時閉鎖という事態になりましたが、ガイドさんは対処に慣れているようで午前と午後のルートを変更してもらい、無事にツアーを終わらせることができました。
熊が木に登ろうとした爪痕や足元にあるキノコなど、知識の豊富なガイドさんの話を聞きながら歩くことができ、楽しかったです。

We were blessed with great weather and enjoyed a leisurely three-hour walk through the forest. It was late August, still feeling the remnants of summer, but the shaded paths were cool and refreshing. With our guide, Mr. Umebayashi, we were able to see spots that we might have overlooked if we were just walking normally, and we learned about how the forest has formed over decades and centuries. I would love to come back during the fresh green season next time!

天気に恵まれて、森の中をゆったり3時間歩きました。残暑の8月下旬でしたが、木陰が多く涼しい道のり。
ガイドの梅林さんの説明で、普通に歩いていたら見過ごしてしまいそうなところも見れましたし、何十年、何百年かけて森が形成されていくことを学べました。
次は新緑の季節に来たいと思います！

I decided on a trip to Yakushima at the last minute, and after looking at the tour reviews, I thought, "I have normal stamina, so I'll be fine!" and signed up.

Without even looking at a guidebook, I participated in the tour, and the content was absolutely wonderful.

On the first day, we had Mr. Minoda as our guide. He shared stories about the natural world and some spiritual insights that made the long trekking feel like no time at all. His detailed explanations about the plants were very enjoyable.

On the second day, we had Mr. Taniyama. After finishing the trekking on the first day, I was really worried because the back of my knees hurt a lot, and I wasn't sure if I could make it to Shiratani Unsuikyo the next day. However, he reassured me by offering knee support and a walking stick, saying we had plenty of time to go at a leisurely pace, which eased my worries and allowed me to take on the challenge. Thanks to him, I was able to fully enjoy the beautiful Shiratani Unsuikyo!

The view from Taiko Rock was the best I've ever seen, even compared to landscapes abroad, and it was incredibly moving! It was also nice that, due to the impact of COVID-19, there were fewer people in the mountains, allowing us to spend a long time on Taiko Rock.

By the time we descended the mountain, my legs were shaking, but the pain wasn't as bad as the day before.

This was my first solo trip to Yakushima, which I decided on a whim, but thanks to the wonderful guides, it turned into a fantastic journey! Next time, I want to take my children to trek through the mountains filled with negative ions and share the breathtaking views from Taiko Rock together!

急遽決めた屋久島旅行で、ツアーも口コミを拝見し、普通に体力があるから大丈夫！と思いお申し込みさせていただきました^_^
ガイドブックも見ることなく、ツアーに参加させていただいてのですが、ツアー内容はとっても素晴らしかったです。
1日目は箕田さん。自然の世界の話や目に見えないスピリチュアルなお話など織り交ぜてくださり長いトレッキングもあっという間でした。植物のお話もとても詳しくてとても楽しい時間でした。
二日目は谷山さん。1日目のトレッキングが終わってから膝裏がめちゃくちゃ痛くなって、翌日の白谷雲水峡に行けるのか不安一杯だったのですが、膝のサポートと杖と貸してくださるとお話しくださり、時間もたくさんあるのでゆっくり周れるから大丈夫と心強い言葉も聞かせて頂き、不安もなくなりチャレンジすることができました。おかげさまでとっても素敵な白谷雲水峡を満喫することができました！
太鼓岩からの眺めは今まで見てきた海外を含む風景の中で一番最高でめちゃくちゃ感動しました！
コロナの影響で山に入っている人数も少ないとのことで長い時間太鼓岩の上にいることもできたこともよかったです。
山を降りるときはもう足がガクガクしていましたが、前日ほどの痛みはありませんでした^_^
思いつきではじめての一人旅で行った屋久島でしたが、素晴らしいガイドさんのおかげで素敵な旅になりました！
次は子供たちもマイナスイオンあふれる山の中を、そして太鼓岩からの絶景を一緒にトレッキングして、感動を分かち合いたいと思いました！

We participated as a family! Our guide, Hal, was very kind and the kids had a great time! We even encountered a sea turtle, which was very moving! We will come again next year! This time, I want to try diving too!

家族で参加しました！ガイドのハルちゃんもとても親切で子供達も楽しんでいました！ウミガメにも遭遇できてとても感動です！また来年行きます！今度はダイビングにも挑戦したいです☆

We participated as a family of three. A handsome guide was in charge of our experience. At first, it felt difficult, but once the three of us coordinated our efforts, it became a fun time! We learned about various creatures and the ecology of the mangroves, which was educational. I recommend experiencing it at least once.

家族3人で参加しました。
イケメンのガイドさんが担当して頂きました。
最初は難しく感じましたが、3人が息を合わせれば進み楽しい一時でした！
色々な生き物やマングローブの生態も分かり勉強になりました。
一度は体験することをお勧めします。
