All Reviews for 1-Day Tours

Knowing it would be a 10-hour round trip, I prepared by hiking and running in the nearby mountains. The guide shared knowledge about Yakusugi trees, other natural plants, animals, and the history of Yakushima while we walked, and although it was long, it felt like we reached Jomon Sugi in no time. The guide was very interesting, and the people in my group were around the same age, making it easy to talk. I really enjoyed my time without feeling lonely, even though I participated alone. I was worried about the restroom situation, but it was fine as long as I went at designated spots. They provided each person with a seat for sitting. We traveled to and from the trailhead by large bus. On the way back, a few people felt unwell due to fatigue and the release of tension. It seems wise to take motion sickness medication and stay hydrated until returning to the lodge.

往復10時間と知り近くの山に登山したりランニングしたりして臨みました。ガイドさんが歩きながら屋久杉やその他の自然植物、動物、屋久島の知識等を話してくれ、長かったけどあっという間に縄文杉に辿り着いた感覚でした。とても面白いガイドさんで、一緒のグループになった人たちも年齢が近く話しやすく、一人で参加しても孤独感なく本当にいい時間を過ごせました。トイレが心配でしたがある場所で行っておけば大丈夫でした。座る用のシートを一人一枚貸してくれます。大型バスで登山口を往復しました。帰りは疲れや緊張感の解けで具合が悪くなる人が数名いました。酔い止めを飲んだり、水分をとったり宿に帰るまで気は抜かない方がよさそうです。

I visited Yakushima for the first time, a place my friends and I had talked about wanting to go for about ten years. I joined a tour to see Jomon Sugi. It was an early morning departure, and it was a full-day tour, but I had a truly memorable and valuable experience.

I heard from the guide that the retirement rate during the tour is relatively high when someone from the same tour group had to retire. I believe it’s important not to underestimate the challenge just because you’re joining a tour; proper preparation, such as training your legs and back by walking beforehand or climbing a nearby mountain, is essential to reach this destination. I highly recommend visiting at least once in a lifetime.

10年程前から友人といつか絶対行きたいと話していた屋久島へ初訪問。こちらのツアーにて縄文杉を観に行きました。早朝からの出発、1日がかりのツアーでしたが、とても思い出深い貴重な体験ができました。
同じツアーに参加の方がリタイヤされた際、実際ツアーでのリタイヤ率は高めとガイドさんにも伺いました。ツアーに参加するからと甘く考えず、きちんとある程度は事前に歩いて足腰を鍛えたり、近くの山を登ってみるなど準備をしてこそたどり着ける場所だと思います。一生に一度は是非観に行くことをお勧めいたします。

Since it was a trip that was decided suddenly, I stayed in Onna Village without any prior research. I found this site while looking for tourist attractions that I could visit from Onna Village to create some travel memories. Although I made the reservation the day before after much deliberation, it went smoothly, and I was grateful that they picked me up at a nearby hotel. Both the bus guide and the driver were very kind, and the weather was great, which made it the best experience. The only disappointing part was that the stay at the Churaumi Aquarium was only 150 minutes. It would have been nice to have a little more time since the aquarium was a bit far from the bus stop. For those coming from Naha, the journey must have been quite long, but for us who participated from Onna Village, it was very comfortable. If I have the opportunity to come to Okinawa again, I would like to rely on them. Thank you for providing a fun time that was worth more than the price, with regular disinfection while we were sightseeing.

急に決まった旅行だったので下調べなく恩納村に滞在し、一つでも旅の思い出に恩納村からいける観光と入れたところこのサイトがヒットしました。さんざん悩んで前の日の予約でしたがスムーズ、近くのホテルまで迎えに来てくれたのもありがたかったです。バスガイドさんも運転手さんもとっても親切で天気も良くて最高でした。一つだけ残念だったのは美ら海水族館滞在時間が１５０分だったことです。バス乗り場から美ら海水族館が離れていたのでもう少しの時間があったらありがたかったです。那覇から来られた方にとっては道中がとても長かったでしょうが恩納村から参加した私達はとっても快適でした。また、沖縄に来る機会があったらお世話になりたいと思いました。私達が観光している間もこまめに消毒とかしていただきお値段以上の楽しい時間をありがとうございました。

I was glad that I could go at my own pace. I had plenty of time and was very satisfied. Thank you.

自分のペースで、まわれたので良かったです。
時間に余裕がありとても満足です。
ありがとうございました。

Due to the one round trip per day, the return flight is after 3 PM. Ishigaki Island has distances between tourist points, making it difficult to wander around alone. That said, I didn't have the energy to drive a rental car, so I chose to go on a sightseeing bus tour.

The course covered all the highlights and was full of attractions. Even as a solo traveler, we started to chat with each other as we spent time together, and I think our sense of camaraderie increased through the guide. I was able to make good use of the free time before the flight and enjoy the charm of Ishigaki Island that I hadn't seen yet before heading home.

Also, group tour lunches often don't meet expectations, but the lunch on this tour was delicious!

1日1往復の航路のため、帰りの便が15時過ぎ。一人でぶらぶらするにも観光ポイント間の距離がある石垣島。とは言いつつレンタカーで周るほどの体力も残っていないので、観光バスでの観光を選択しました。
見どころをおさえたコースで、見どころ満載でした。ひとりでも、行動を共にするうちにお互い声をかけはじめ、さらにガイドさんを介して仲間意識が高まったと思います。飛行機までの空いた時間を有効に使って観れなかった石垣島の魅力を堪能して、帰路に着くことができました。
また、団体旅行のランチって、期待できないことが多いのですが、このコースでのランチは美味しかった！

I participated in a bus tour to Lake Toya this time, and the guidance from our tour conductor, Mr. Kondo, was kind and thorough. The content of the earphone guide was easy to understand, allowing us to learn about the history and culture of the area, which was very satisfying. The driver's driving was also careful and safe. Thank you very much. If I have another opportunity to visit Hokkaido, I will definitely use your services again.

今回利用させて頂いたのは、洞爺湖方面のバスツアーでしたが、添乗員の近藤さんの案内が親切丁寧で、イヤフォンガイドの内容も解りやすく土地土地の歴史文化、成り立ちを知ることができ満足でした。運転手さんの運転も慎重かつ安全でした。有り難うございました。
また北海道に行く機会があれば利用させて頂きます。

I was able to easily experience it during my free time.

I had fun learning about Taketomi Island and the history of water buffalo.

Next time, I would like to look for fun tours through Veltra again.

空き時間にお手軽に体験出来ました

竹富島のことや水牛の歴史を知ることが出来て、楽しかったです

次回もベルトラから楽しいツアーを探したいと思います

We moved to Iriomote Island while enjoying the beautiful sea. The mangrove tour was very informative and detailed thanks to our guide, who taught us a lot about mangroves. There was also time to go out on the deck for some photos.

After that, we moved to the water buffalo cart boarding area, and the bus driver was also great at sharing interesting stories about Iriomote Island during the short ride.

I was looking forward to the water buffalo cart ride to Yubu Island. The guide not only provided commentary but also played the sanshin and sang, which added a lovely atmosphere to the experience.

For lunch, we had Okinawan cuisine. They had measures in place for COVID-19, so even though it was a spacious cafeteria-like setting, I felt safe while dining. The food was delicious, and drinks could be ordered on the spot.

Exploring Yubu Island was relaxing, as we interacted with the water buffalo, took commemorative photos, and enjoyed awamori gelato.

It was a very satisfying tour, and I would highly recommend it to many people.

きれいな海を見ながら西表島へ移動。
マングローブ遊覧は、ガイドの方のお話がとても詳しく丁寧で、マングローブについてたくさん教えてもらえます。デッキに出て写真撮影の時間もありました。
そのあと、水牛車乗り場まで移動しましたが、そのバスの運転手の方もお話上手で、短い移動時間で西表島のこと楽しく教えてもらいました。
由布島への移動は楽しみにしていた水牛車。移動中のガイドはもちろんのこと、三線を弾きながら歌を歌ってくれたり風情があってとても良かったです。
ランチは沖縄料理です。コロナ対策もされていたので、広い食堂のような場所でしたが安心して食事できました。美味しかったです。飲み物はその場で注文出来ます。
由布島散策は、水牛との触れ合いや記念写真を撮ったり、泡盛ジェラートを食べたり、ゆっくり過ごせました。
とても満足なツアーでしたので、たくさんの方におすすめしたいです。

Temperature checks and disinfection, spaced reception, and small groups make it possible to participate with peace of mind. This is my fourth time, and I enjoy seeing different training sessions each time. It's clear that many people are receiving various training to operate the aircraft. The guides are flight attendants, and their approachable demeanor and clear explanations make them easy to connect with. At the end, there is an opportunity to shop. I would be happy if more original goods were offered. I had a great time. Thank you very much.

検温消毒、間隔開けて受付、少人数、で安心して参加できます。
今回4回目なのですが、毎回違う訓練を見られるので楽しめます。
たくさんの方がたくさんの訓練を受けて航空機を動かしているのがわかります。
案内の方は客室乗務員さん。話しかけやすさ、わかりやすい説明で親しみが持てます。
最後に買い物ができます。オリジナルグッズをもう少し出していただけると嬉しいです。
楽しかったです。ありがとうございました。

You can visit various places in just one day!!! I was worried about not having a car, but participating in this made for a very fulfilling day!! The bus guide was very skilled in storytelling, and I enjoyed it without getting bored. The Okinawan folk song they sang at the end was moving.

1日でいろんなところに行けます！！！車なくて困ってたのですがこちらに参加してとても充実した1日を過ごせました！！バスガイドさんのお話も大変上手で飽きずに楽しめました。最後に歌ってくださった沖縄民謡が感動でした。

It was amazing. The water buffalo was really great and created wonderful memories. The streets of Taketomi Island were also lovely. The hibiscus flowers were beautifully in bloom, and I took a lot of pictures. I want to go again.

最高だった
水牛さんとてもすごくよかった良い思い出に
なりました
竹富島の街並みも
素敵でした
ハイビスカスも綺麗に咲いて
いっぱい写真におさめました
また行きたいです

It was a surprisingly deep tour of the training facility, where I could hear firsthand stories from the current staff. I would like to visit again when I have the chance.

現役スタッフさんの生の話が訊けたりで、予想以上に深い訓練施設見学でした。 また折を見て伺いたいです。

I'm really glad I used this service! They quickly guided me to places I wanted to go and made great recommendations, plus I was able to take lots of photos.

行きたいところ、おすすめなどをサクッと案内してくれ、写真もたくさん撮ってもらえるので、利用して本当によかったです！！

It was an extraordinary space and time, as if departing from an airport. The detailed explanations and exhibits were very interesting, and I felt a renewed sense of gratitude for the many employees of the ANA Group who protect our daily safety in the skies. I had a very enjoyable time.

まるで空港から旅立つような非日常的な空間と時間でした。丁寧な説明と展示品がとても興味深く、日々の空の安全を守っている大勢のANAグループの社員の方々に改めて感謝の気持ちが湧きました。とても楽しい時間を過ごせました。

It was wonderful to visit scenic spots away from the city. The bus guide was very kind, had a great singing voice, and provided clear explanations that left a lasting impression. Thank you for a great trip.

市街から離れた場所へ景色のよい眺めを見ながらまわれて最高でした。バスガイドさんとても親切で歌がとてもお上手で説明もわかりやすく心に残りました。よい旅をありがとうございました。

I joined this tour because I wanted to visit the Oishi Forest Mountain. It’s quite difficult to get to the northern part of Okinawa on my own, so the bus tour was very helpful. The lunch along the way was also very delicious. Since the main purpose was Oishi Forest Mountain, to be honest, I wished I could have explored a bit more leisurely and seen everything.

大石林山に行きたくてこのツアーに参加しました。なかなか沖縄北部までは自己では行きにくい為、バスツアーがありとても助かりました。
途中の昼食もとても美味しく頂けました。
大石林山が目的だったので、もう少しじっくり散策しながら、全てをまわりたかったというのが正直なところです。

Even beginners in mountain climbing can enjoy it. It's helpful that they can pick you up since the trailhead is far from the accommodation. Also, we will be active for about 12 hours, but having a guide made it possible to continue walking happily.

登山初心者も楽しめました。
宿から登山口まで遠いので、ピックアップしてもらえるのは助かります。
また、１２時間ほど活動することになりますが、ガイドの方がいるからこそ、楽しく歩き続けることができました。

It was the best tour. The driver not only drove but also acted as a private tour guide, which was really helpful. They also provided pick-up and drop-off from the accommodation, and were quite flexible with the timing adjustments. Since the store we aimed for was closed, we were able to enjoy a delicious lunch thanks to their quick reservation at another place. We wouldn't have had such a fulfilling trip with a bus tour or just on our own. I also received great advice about other tourist spots, which was very helpful. I would like to request a taxi tour for the next nearby tour.

最高のツアーでした。
運転手さんは運転だけでなく、プライベートツアーガイドまでしてもらって、本当に助かりました。
宿の送迎もしてもらえて、細かい時間調整もかなりフレキシブルにしてもらえました。
目当ての店が閉まっていたため、急遽別なお店を予約して貰えたおかげで、お昼も美味しく頂けました。バスツアーや自分達だけの旅行ではこんなに充実した旅は送れませんでした。
他の観光地についてもアドバイスを頂けて、とても助かりました。
また近くのツアーではタクシーツアーをお願いしたいと思います。

It was great that we could move efficiently. We were also blessed with good weather, making it an enjoyable trip. However, I think we should consider the time allocation at each location a bit more.

効率良く回れたのは良かったです。お天気にも恵まれて楽しい旅行になりました。しかしながら、各場の時間配分をもう少し考えた方が良いかと思います。

The meeting point at the bus terminal entrance is difficult to find on the map. They are taking infection control measures by checking temperatures at the meeting point and ensuring alcohol disinfection every time we board the bus. The audio guide through earphones inside the bus is easy to hear.

Main sightseeing spots:
☆ Lake Shikotsu (60 minutes)····· If you take the glass boat at the designated time, there’s hardly any time left. You need to take a few photos, go to the restroom, and dash back to the bus to make it in time; I wish we had at least another 20 minutes here. Unfortunately, the lake's transparency was poor, and I couldn't see the beautiful Shikotsu Blue surface.

☆ Lake Toya (85 minutes)····· First, everyone has lunch inside the hotel. There are many dishes, but they are quite ordinary, just decent enough not to be bad. After taking photos of the desolate tourist spot, Lake Toya, there was nothing else to do or see, and we had a lot of time to kill. We just sat in the lobby waiting. I understand that the crew needs to take a break, but 85 minutes here is unnecessary. I would prefer to allocate that time to Lake Shikotsu instead. The crew also knows there’s nothing to see here, so the lack of explanation about how to spend time here is the best evidence of that.

Mount Usu····· The ropeway will stop in bad weather, and in that case, we would visit the bear ranch, but it would be the worst if we couldn't ride the ropeway here. The view from the summit was wonderful.

Others····· Since this is just a restroom break, I don't have any particular impressions. It was somewhat rushed.

The pricing, including lunch at the hotel, is not bad, but the time allocation needs to be reconsidered. Overall, I didn’t feel it was an amazing tour. If the weather is bad, I would feel quite disappointed. Honestly, I would have preferred to join a different, slightly cheaper tour that operates on weekdays and covers similar areas.

集合場所のバスターミナルの入口が地図で分かりにくい。集合場所での検温、バス乗車の都度アルコール消毒の徹底で一応感染対策はしている。車内でのイヤフォンによる音声案内は聞き取りやすい。
メインの観光場所
☆支笏湖（60分）·····指定時間のグラスボートに乗るとほぼ残り時間がありません。写真数枚撮ってトイレに行ってダッシュでバスに戻らないと間に合わない、ここはあと20分は時間が欲しい。
あいにく湖の透明度が悪く、支笏湖ブルーの湖面は見られなかった。
☆洞爺湖（85分）·····まず全員でホテル内で昼食。品数は多いがごく普通、不味くは無い程度。寂れた観光地、洞爺湖の写真を撮った後、他に何もする事も観る所も全くなく時間時間をかなり持て余した。ロビーでボーと座って待つだけ。乗務員の休憩時間を確保しなくてはいけないのは分かりますが、ここは85分も不要。それなら支笏湖に時間を回して欲しい。乗務員も何も見る所がない事は分かっているので、ここでの過ごした方に関しての説明が全くなかったのが何よりの証拠。
有珠山·····天候不良時はロープウェイ停止になりますが、その場合、クマ牧場の観光になりますが、ここでロープウェイに乗れなかったら、最悪ですね。
山頂から見る景色は素晴らしかったです。
他·····トイレ休憩ついでの場所なので、特に感想は無いです。まあまあ慌てる。

ホテルでの昼食を含めての金額設定は悪くはないですが、時間配分は再考の必要有り。総合して、凄く良いツアーでした‼とは思わなかった。もし天候不良の場合はかなり損した気分になりそう。
本当は同じ様な地域を回るもう少し安価の別ツアーが平日も催行してくれてたらそちらに参加したかった。

It was great to be able to talk closely with the staff from the reception. The guide was a current cabin attendant, and I was able to discuss questions I had about flying, which was very nice. The explanations about the work in each department were easy to understand, and I realized the vast amount of manuals one must go through to become a cabin attendant, as well as the years of training required to become a pilot. It was a much more educational experience than a typical factory tour! The tour was well organized, and the 90 minutes felt very short. There were places to take photos, and I took many pictures, even having the cabin attendant take some for me.

Last month I visited the ground staff, and this month I visited the training facility. I feel a deeper connection to ANA and appreciate their commitment to safety and security. I will continue to support the blue team.

With the travel support program starting this month, I believe there will be more opportunities to fly domestically, and I will board with gratitude for the work of all the staff. Thank you for a wonderful time!

受付からスタッフの皆さんと親しくお話し出来て案内役が現役のCAさんで日頃飛行機搭乗時に疑問に思っていた事など お話し出来て大変良かったです。各部門のお仕事内容の案内も分かりやすくCAさんになるまでのマニュアルの膨大さやパイロットになるまでの養成経過年数なども伺えて大変さを痛感しました。企業工場見学などとは比べ物にならないくらい大変勉強になりました！見学工程も工夫されていて 90分間が大変短く感じました。写真も撮れる所で一杯撮ってCAさんにもシャッター押して頂きました
先月はグランドスタッフ 今月は訓練施設
ANAさんに対しより一層の親しみと安全 安心に対する取り組み これからも青組応援します。
今月旅行支援も始まり期間中は、国内移動で搭乗機会も増えると思いますが、スタッフの皆様のお仕事に感謝の気持ちを持って搭乗します。
楽しい一時を過ごせてありがとうございました

It was a very fulfilling tour that allowed us to visit three islands in one day. The staff provided clear and thorough explanations, making it easy to enjoy the tour with peace of mind. I was glad to have various experiences in one day, and the rental bicycles were also a lot of fun!

３つの島を1日で回れてとても充実したツアーでした。　スタッフの方々も丁寧な説明で分かりやすく、安心してツアーを回れました。
いろんな体験が1日できて良かったですし、レンタルサイクルも楽しかったです！

I participated in the tour starting at 4 PM. Although it was in the evening, I was able to see the training scenes of the ground staff, cabin attendants, and pilots.

It was a great tour where I could see behind the scenes that I usually don't get to experience.

16時からのツアーに参加しました。
当日は夕方ではありましたがGS、CA、パイロットの訓練風景を見ることができました。

普段目にすることのない裏側を見学できるいいツアーでした。

This tour is quite physically demanding. Of course, you will receive communication from the tour operator in advance. However, it seems that if you misjudge your physical condition, you may end up unable to move due to illness or injury. The schedule is also tight, and I felt like I was being rushed along by the guide. I was scolded for not having a protector for my trekking poles, which was not mentioned in the prior communication. Caution is necessary. To fully enjoy the beautiful nature and scenery, I recommend being well-prepared physically.

体力的に結構厳しいツアーです。
もちろん、事前にツアー運営会社から連絡あります。ただ自分の体力を見誤ると体調不良や怪我で動けなくなることがよくあるツアーだそうです。スケジュール的にも厳しく、ガイドさんに追い立てられるように引っ張られました。
トレッキングポールはプロテクターが無いと使えないと怒られました。事前の連絡では記載なかった事です。注意が必要。
せっかくの大自然、景色を堪能するには体力を十分つけて臨むことをお勧めします。

I was able to efficiently enjoy the best views. The lunch was delicious, and the tour guide was very nice and attentive.

最高の景色を効率良く回る事が出来ました。
ランチも美味しかったし、添乗員さんもとても良い方で気配りに感心しました。

I booked a bus tour that required a minimum of six people. It turned out to be just the six of us. It felt like a private taxi, making for a relaxed trip with just our group. The driver was also kind and easy to talk to.

6名以上遂行決定のバスツアーを予約しました
何と私達だけの6人でした
貸切タクシーのように
仲間だけ気楽な旅でした
運転手さんも優しく話しやすかったです

It was a fun day.
Thank you to the guide and the driver.
The food was delicious, and I was very satisfied with the scenery.
However, it was disappointing that the restroom at Rokkatei was dirty in the early morning. Since they handle food, it really needs to be clean...
I was put off by it.

楽しい一日でした。
ガイドさん、運転手さんありがとうございました。
食事も美味しくて、景色も大変満足しました。
ただ、午前中の早い時間でしたが、六花亭のトイレが汚れていて残念でした。やはり食べ物を扱っているので清潔でないと…
私は、引いてしまいました。

We were blessed with good weather and were able to see the slightly misty Jomon Sugi. I participated alone and was quite anxious about whether I could make it to the top based on the experiences I heard. I usually don't exercise much, only going hiking once a year. I prepared my stamina with an hour of running for a month beforehand.

There were four of us: one female student and two other women. The guide kept us engaged with quizzes and explanations about the spots, which helped us focus less on the walking, so it felt like we arrived much quicker than I expected! (The quizzes were difficult, and my brain was tired.)

The guide took a lot of photos, using wonderful angles and techniques, and thanks to that, we were able to capture some great shots with the trees. Honestly, watching other guides, I thought, "We really hit the jackpot." So, I believe it depends on luck. Each guide must have their own unique qualities!

It’s truly impressive how the guides can keep talking while carrying heavy loads! For lunch, we were treated to pork miso soup, which was so delicious that it could be said the guide fee was worth it just for that!

As mentioned in the reviews, it was indeed at a fast pace, but thanks to that, we didn’t have to wait for the restroom, could take our time for photos at Jomon Sugi, and boarded the return bus without waiting. If you push yourself, you will definitely get your money's worth!

I also think the number of participants, their stamina differences, and personalities were just right this time. (Most of the quizzes were answered by the excellent members.)

I had heard of Jomon Sugi, but it still felt far away (≡ε≡；). I wished I could get closer to truly appreciate its size. However, the guide mentioned that even they rarely get to touch it, so I guess it can’t be helped (tears). Therefore, the most moving part was at the place of the deity, Okotojin.

I debated whether to rent trekking poles, but I think not many people were using them. It seemed more practical to use my hands for a lot of four-legged walking, so they might actually be a hindrance. Gloves were much more useful.

I usually wear high-cut trekking shoes, but this time I rented mid-cut ones in Yakushima, which made me anxious. However, since the Jomon Sugi trek has many trolley paths, it seems that high-cuts can cause blisters due to the edges. I realized that it’s best to learn from those who know the mountain well and adjust accordingly.

天気にも恵まれ少し霧掛かった縄文杉を見る事ができました。
1人参加で体験談を聞いた限り、ちゃんと登り切れるかかなり不安で挑みました。
普段運動はせず、年に1回山登りをする程度。
1ヶ月前から1時間のランニングで体力の準備はしました。
女子学生さん1人と、女性2人組との4人メンバでした。
ガイドさんは終始、クイズを出したり、スポットの説明をしてくださり、歩くことに集中しすぎず進む事ができたので、思っていたよりもあっという間に着いちゃったなと言う印象でした！(※クイズは難しくて頭は疲れました)
写真もいっぱい撮ってくださって、しかも素敵なアングルや撮影技術を駆使して撮ってくださり、お陰で木霊も出て来てくれて一緒に写真を撮る事が出来ました(*´︶`*)♡
正直、自分達以外のガイドを見てると、「自分達は大当たりだったんだな」と思いました。なのでやはりそこは運次第だと思います。きっとそれぞれのガイドさんにそれぞれの持ち味があるんだと思います！
でもあんなにずっと喋り続けながら重い荷物を持って歩けるガイドさん達は本当にすごいです！
ランチでは豚汁をご馳走してもらいました！この為のガイド料と言っても過言でないぐらい美味しかったです！
口コミにあるように確かにハイペースではありましたが、お陰でトイレは並ばずに入れたし、縄文杉のところでゆっくり写真は撮れたし、帰りのバスも待つ事なく乗れたし。頑張ればちゃんとお釣りが来ます！
あとはツアーメンバーの参加人数や体力差やキャラクターも今回は丁度良かったんだろうなと思いました。(クイズはほとんど優秀なメンバーさん達に答えてもらいました)

縄文杉は知ってはいましたが、やっぱり遠かったぁ(≡ε≡；)
もっと近くに行って大きさを実感したかったなぁと思っちゃいます。
でもガイドさんでも触れる事は滅多にないとの事なので、仕方がないんだろうなー(涙
なので、1番の感動は乙事主様のところでしたね！

ストックをレンタルした方がいいか悩みましたが、使ってる人はあまりいなかったと思います。それよりも手を使って四足歩行になる事が多いので、逆に邪魔かな。グローブの方が重宝しました。

トレッキングシューズはいつもハイカットを履いているのですが、今回は屋久島でレンタルしたところミドルカットが来て不安になりました。でも縄文杉トレッキングはトロッコ道が多いのでむしろハイカットだと縁で靴擦れを起こしてしまう人がいるそうです。やはりその山を知り尽くしている人に教えてもらって合わせるのが良いんだなと思いました。

It was easier than I imagined since there weren't as many steep slopes (we climbed quite a bit by bus at first), and we took breaks and stopped for photo spots! The guide took great photos at key points, and of course, we heard various explanations about the Yakusugi and Yakushima. They also managed the pace well, so I'm really glad I joined the tour! The main Jomon Sugi is currently surrounded by a lot of grass and plants, so you can't see the base... I heard they are currently applying for permission to clear the vegetation. However, there are plenty of Yakusugi trees along the way, and I was satisfied being able to see and touch them up close.

休憩や写真スポットで立ち止まったりするのと、急勾配が思ったよりなかったので（最初バスでかなり登りました）想像よりも楽でした！
ガイドさんも要所でいい感じに写真を撮ってくれ、もちろん屋久杉や屋久島の説明も色々聞けて、ペース配分もしっかりしてくれるので、やはりツアーに参加してよかったです！
メインの縄文杉は今は足元にかなりの草木が生い茂っていて根元が見えず、、、国に草木の伐採の申請中だそうです。でもそこまでにも屋久杉は沢山あって、近くで見れたり触れたりするので満足です。

I was worried about being a burden to the other participants since I don't exercise regularly, but it went smoothly without any issues. Beyond Tsuji Pass, the trail became particularly challenging and difficult to climb, and going down felt a bit like an obstacle course, but as long as you are careful, it's completely manageable. The view from Taiko Rock was amazing. I'm glad I participated.

At the mossy forest, eating and drinking are prohibited, and despite the posted notice, I saw a family and a foreign woman eating, which was very disappointing. It might be helpful to make the "no eating" signs more visible, especially in areas like the benches.

The restroom at the hut had a notice asking not to put toilet paper in the toilet, but I think it's easy to overlook. I almost ended up putting paper in the toilet. Many people might have the habit of wiping the toilet seat before sitting down, so I thought it would be good to have a notice before entering the restroom stalls as well.

日頃運動していないので、他の参加者さんに迷惑を掛けないか心配でしたが、特に問題なく行けました。辻峠から先は特にハードというか登りにくい道が続き、おりる時もアスレチック感がありましたが、気をつければ全く大丈夫でした。太鼓岩からの眺望はすばらしかったです。参加して良かったです。
苔むす森では飲食禁止で、その注意書きの掲示があるにも関わらず飲食しているマナーの悪い家族連れと外国人女性を見かけ、とても残念でした。ベンチみたいな所にも、大きく飲食禁止をもっとわかりやすく明示してもいいかもしれません。
小屋のお手洗いはトイレットペーパーを便器に入れないようにとの注意書きがされていましたが、気づきにくいと思います。危うく便器にペーパーを入れそうになりました。便器を拭いてから座る習慣の人達も多いでしょうし、お手洗い個室に入る前の所にも注意書きがあればいいのになと思いました。
