All Reviews for 1-Day Tours

I traveled with my mother and three children without my husband during a business trip. Since there were no rental cars available, we opted for a sightseeing tour, and it turned out to be a great decision! I've been to Okinawa many times, but I still enjoyed it in a fresh way. The bus guide's stories were educational for the kids, and they started clapping along to the songs with great enthusiasm. The sandwiches were delicious, and it turned out to be a very fulfilling day! Thank you very much.

出張中の旦那抜きで、母と3人子連れ旅しました。レンタカーがいっぱいだったので、観光ツアーにしましたが、結果大正解！私は沖縄は何度も行ってますが、それでも新鮮に楽しめました。
バスガイドさんのお話も子供にも勉強になり、歌はノリノリで子供達が手拍子をし始めました。
サンドイッチも美味しくてすごく充実した一日になはらました！ありがとうございました。

The weather forecast wasn't great, but I thought today was my only chance, so I decided to go for it. The guide's stories during the journey were all very informative. The blue of the Shakotan Peninsula was incredibly blue, and I was able to enjoy a different shade compared to the blue of southern islands. I felt a deep satisfaction in wanting this naturally rich area to be preserved as it is. The only downside was that the optional boat tour was canceled due to high waves, which was disappointing, but considering the recent accident, I realized that safety should always come first, and it's important to stick to that decision.

天候がいまいちという予報だったけれども今日しかない、と思って申し込んでみました。
移動中のガイドさんの話も勉強になることばかりでした。
積丹半島のブルーはとてつもなくブルーで、南の島のブルーとはまた違った色合いを楽しむことができました。
自然豊かなこのエリアをそのまま残してもらいたいと思える満足感でした。
唯一、途中オプションの船での散策は波が高いということで欠航となり残念でしたが、やっぱり先日の事故を考えると安全第一であるべきだと、その決心が大事だと改めて思いました。

I was taken to various places efficiently, and with the guide's explanations, it turned into a fulfilling day. The dinosaurs at Pineapple Park were so realistic that my child was thrilled.

We had our kids with us, but both the driver and the guide were kind and helpful, for which I am grateful. The sandwiches for lunch were delicious too! Thank you very much!

効率よく色々なところに連れて行ってもらえ、ガイドさんの説明もあって充実した1日になりました。パイナップルパークの恐竜がリアルで子供が喜んでいました。
子連れだったのですが、運転手さんもガイドさんも優しくて親切にしていただいて感謝です。お昼のサンドイッチも美味しかったです！ありがとうございました！

The return trip on the trolley path is very tough with unfamiliar hiking boots. I recommend bringing another pair, such as trail running shoes.

帰りのトロッコ道は慣れない登山靴ではとても辛い。もう一足、トレイルランニングシューズなどの用意を勧めます。

I recommend signing up for this tour on the first day. This way, you can get a good grasp of the sightseeing options and narrow down what you want to experience. I was able to make reservations for the things I wanted to do from the second day onward, which made for a fulfilling trip.

The water buffalo cart experience was great, as it allowed us to enjoy two different conditions. The glass-bottom boat offered high underwater visibility, and we could see plenty of fish clearly.

初日にこのツアーの申し込みをおすすめします。これにより観光内容がだいたいつかめるので、何を体験んしたいかが絞れました。２日目以降体験したいことを予約し充実した旅行になりました。
水牛車は二カ所違う条件で体験できよかった。
グラスボートは水中透明度が高く魚もよく見えました。

A current flight attendant thoroughly explained the training facility, which is designed to resemble a runway, and my son, who aspires to be a cabin crew member, was very happy. Additionally, today we actually experienced a cabin crew training session at the facility. Everything was wonderful and educational. It was an experience tour that made me want to go again.

滑走路をイメージした、廊下や乗務員さんたちの訓練施設のことについて現役乗務員さんがしっかりと教えてくださり、客室乗務員志望の息子も大喜びでした。
また、本日は実際に訓練施設で客室乗務員体験をしてまいりました。
どれもとても素晴らしく勉強になりました。
また行きたいと思える体験ツアーでした

The driver was very professional and contacted us before departure. Although it was a long-distance trip, I felt secure during the drive and thought, "I wouldn't have been able to manage such an itinerary on my own." I'm glad I booked this. There wasn't any unnecessary long sightseeing time, and the content was just right for us. It became a wonderful memory that makes me want to go again! Thank you very much. I look forward to seeing you again when I visit Kyushu.

運転手さんが、きちんとされた方で出発前に連絡をいれてくれました。長距離移動でしたが、運転にも安心感があり「自分の運転では、こんな行程で動けなかったなー」と申し込んでよかったと思いました。無駄に長い見学時間もなく、私達には丁度よい内容でした。また行きたい！と思えるいい思い出になりました。ありがとうございます。また九州に行った際はよろしくお願いします。

The prices were reasonable, and I was able to visit the main attractions.

I wish I could have seen more of Kouri Island, but I guess time constraints made it impossible.

I would like to try other tours as well.

値段も手頃で主要な場所を回れました

古宇利島がもう少し見たかったけど時間的にしょうがないかな。

また他のツアーも試してみたいと思いました

They provided a wealth of information. I often visited the aquarium, but I was disappointed that I didn't have time to enjoy other places in the park (like the botanical garden). Was there too much emphasis on the bridge and beach? I wanted to savor the cliffs of Manzamo more slowly. I just took a photo and that was it. I had authentic tacos at American Village, and they were delicious. The long-distance travel was enjoyable and compact, keeping it interesting. The fact that the driver was a woman and drove carefully is also a plus!

豊富な情報をたくさんお話ししてくださいました。水族館はよく見られましたが、公園の他の場所(植物園など)を楽しむ時間がなくて残念でした。橋とビーチは盛り込みすぎかな？万座毛の崖を、その分ゆっくり堪能したかったです。写真撮って終わってしまいました。アメリカンビレッジで、本格的なタコス食べられて、おいしかったです。長い距離の移動も、飽きさせない、コンパクトにまとまった楽しい旅でした。運転手さんが女性なのも、丁寧な運転で、イチオシです！

It was a tour that makes you want to go again. I thought the CA's clear, polite, and kind manner was wonderful. I'm grateful to the ANA staff for allowing me to board the plane with peace of mind. I want to introduce this tour to my friends as well. It was also moving to see things that I usually don't get to see.

また行きたくなるツアーでした。CAさんの解りやすく丁寧で優しい接し方が素晴らしいと思いました。ANAの職員の方達のお陰で安心して飛行機に乗れる事に感謝です。周りの友達にもこのツアーを紹介したいと思います。普段目にする事のない中が見れたのも感動です。

The guide was very good.

- Pace management
- Care for the atmosphere among members
- Answers any questions you ask
- Injury response

These were things we couldn't manage on our own.

ガイドさんがとても良かったです。

・ペース配分
・メンバー同士の雰囲気のケア
・質問すれば何でも答えてくれる
・怪我対応
これらは自分たちでは無理でした。

I participated with my daughter. We considered renting a car for sightseeing, but we were able to hear explanations about Okinawa's history and tourist spots, which allowed us to tour efficiently and we were very satisfied!
Churaumi Aquarium, Manzamo, and Kouri Bridge—
The COVID-19 measures included frequent disinfection and ventilation, which were excellent!
The guide's attentiveness and polite service left a good impression, and we were able to enjoy our time pleasantly.
Thank you very much!

娘と2人での参加でした。レンタカーを借りて観光も考えましたが、沖縄の歴史や観光地の説明も聞く事ができ、効率よく観光でき大満足！
美ら海水族館や万座毛や古宇利橋〜
コロナ対策は、度々の消毒と換気とバッチリ！
ガイドさんの気づかいや丁寧な対応で好感度が
持て気分良く過ごす事ができました。
ありがとうございました

I had a great time on my first trip to Okinawa! I was worried about not being able to rent a car and thought it would be difficult to get to the Churaumi Aquarium by bus, so I made a reservation. The guide shared stories about Okinawa and performed traditional folk songs, which was very educational!

Okinawa has many tourist attractions, so I was also unsure about where to go. The tour took us to must-see places if you're heading towards Churaumi, so I think joining a tour is the right choice if you're feeling lost!

The admission fee for the Churaumi Aquarium was included, making it a great deal. I understand it was due to road conditions, but the time spent at places other than the Churaumi Aquarium and American Village was a bit short, so I would have appreciated a little more time there.

Thank you!

初沖縄旅行、大変楽しませていただきました！！
レンタカーが取れず、路線バスで美ら海水族館まで行くのは大変…と思い、予約しました。
ガイドさんの沖縄にまつわるお話や民謡なども披露してくださり、勉強にもなりました！
沖縄はたくさんの観光地があるので、どこに行くか決めるのも迷っていました。美ら海方面に行くならここは外せない、という場所に連れて行ってくれるので、迷ったらツアーが正解！だと思いました。

美ら海水族館の入場料金が入っているので大変お得でした。
道路状況の影響だとお察ししますが、美ら海水族館とアメリカンヴィレッジ以外の滞在時間が少し短かったので、もう少し長くとってもらえると嬉しかったです。

ありがとうございました！

Since I boarded first, I asked the captain and guide which side would be better to sit on, and they said, "Both sides are the same. We'll turn around on the way back. It might be better to sit on the left side, which won't be in the sun until we depart." So, I sat on the left. On the way there, they provided a detailed explanation while getting close to the mangroves on the right side, but on the way back, perhaps due to the tide, we just returned down the middle. I can only say it's disappointing that I couldn't see up close while listening to the explanations. Shouldn't we also get close on the left side, as mentioned in the initial announcement?

1番に乗り込んだので、船頭兼ガイドさんに座る席は右か左どちらが良いか聞いたら、「どちらも同じ。帰りは折り返すので。出航まで日の当たらない左が良いのでは？」と言われて左に座った。往き、右側をマングローブに近寄りながら丁寧に説明していらっしゃったが、帰りは潮の加減か、真ん中をただ帰るだけだった。説明を聴きながら近くで見ることができず、残念というしかない。最初のアナウンス通り、同じように左も近寄るべきではないですか？

It was a 5-hour course, and I was very satisfied with the thorough guidance on the highlights of Ishigaki Island.

We visited the limestone caves, Ishigaki Yaima Village, and the glass-bottom boat at Kabira Bay, which had stunning views. They took us to many places. I would like to use this service again when I visit Ishigaki Island.

5時間のコースでしたが、オススメの石垣島の、見どころをたっぷり案内してくださり大満足でした

鍾乳洞に、石垣やいま村に、川平湾グラスボートに、絶景のスポット。沢山連れて行ってくださいました。
また、石垣島行った際は、利用したいです。

The water buffalo's akahachi-kun added great flavor, and I was able to enjoy it leisurely. Cycling around the island with a rental bike and catching the last ferry was just perfect. I was very satisfied to have visited all the spots on Taketomi Island!

水牛のあかはちくんがいい味を出してくれてて、のーんびり堪能できました。
レンタサイクルで島一周して最後のフェリーでちょうど良かったです。
竹富島のスポットを全部周れて大満足でした！

I participated alone. It was my first bus tour in life, and I had some anxiety, but the guide and the driver kindly spoke to me, allowing me to feel at ease. Visiting Shirakawa-go and Takayama in one day was very luxurious and fulfilling. The scenery was beautiful, and I had a great time. Additionally, during the bus ride, they shared information that wasn't available in books or online, making the journey enjoyable as well. It became the best memory. Thank you very much.

1人で参加しました。
人生初のバスツアーで、不安もありましたが、ガイドの方や運転手の方が温かく声を掛けてくださり、安心して過ごすことができました。
白川郷や飛騨高山に、1日で回れるのも、とても贅沢で充実していました。風景が美しく、楽しかったです。
また、バスの中では、本やネットには載ってないような情報をお話してくださり、移動中も楽しめました。
最高の思い出になりました。ありがとうございました。

The tour guide and the driver were both very pleasant, and you could naturally feel their spirit of hospitality. The conversations on the bus were comfortable and just right. I was glad to hear many interesting stories that aren't found in the guidebooks. The time spent at each location was neither too long nor too short, making for a fun day. Thank you very much.

添乗員さんはもちろん、運転手さんも感じがよく自然とおもてなし精神がでてる感じでした。
バスの中での話も話し方も、程よく心地よかったです。各地のガイドブックには載っていないへーという話も沢山聞けてよかったです。各場所での滞在時間も余りすぎず足りなすぎずちょうどよく、楽しい一日になりました。ありがとうございました。

It was a very enjoyable tour! The bus driving was safe, and the tour guide was a friendly foreigner. They took our pictures in front of Fushimi Inari Taisha. It was disappointing that the Jishu Shrine at Kiyomizu-dera was closed (it seems it won't open for about three years). Those coming for matchmaking should be aware of this.

There is a café around the middle of Fushimi Inari Taisha, and the kakigori (shaved ice) there was exquisite. At Arashiyama, you can move freely within the time limit, so you can enjoy food and buy souvenirs. I was able to visit Nonomiya Shrine in Arashiyama within the time limit, so if you can't pray for matchmaking at Jishu Shrine, I think it's a good idea to come here.

I opted for the lunch option, and the portion was quite large. It was delicious, but I think it would be difficult for two women to finish it. I was surprised that it was mainly tofu.

I think this is a great tour for exploring the classics of Kyoto!

とっても楽しいツアーでした！
バスの運転も安全で添乗員さんが外国の方で親しみやすかったです。
伏見稲荷大社の前で写真を撮ってくれました。
清水寺にある地主神社が閉門されていたので残念でした。（3年程は開かないそうです）
縁結びを目当てに来る方は注意です
伏見稲荷大社の中間あたりにカフェがあり、そこでのかき氷は絶品でした。
嵐山は時間内であれば自由に行動できるので食べ歩き、お土産など買えます
嵐山にある野宮神社は時間内に行くことができたので地主神社で縁結び祈願を出来ない場合はここに来るといいと思います。


昼食付きにしましたがまぁまぁ量が多い
美味しいのですが女性2人で食べきることは難しいと思います。豆腐メインでびっくりしました。

京都の定番を巡るにはとっても良いツアーだと思います！！

You cannot enter the building until 30 minutes before. You will have to wait outside. There are only a few exhibits on the first floor, so entering 15 minutes early is sufficient. I am satisfied with the tour content. Even though it was during lunchtime (11:45), training was still taking place.

30分前にならないと建物の中へ入れません。外で待たされます。１階の展示は少しなので１５分前に入場すればいい。
ツアー内容には満足です。昼の時間帯（１１：４５）でしたが訓練はやっていました。

This time, I came to Okinawa for the first time in over a decade. Every time has been a busy tour, but this time I made a personal reservation and only included this tour. It was a great decision! I scheduled this tour for the day after my arrival, and after that, I was able to spend my time freely, making it truly a vacation. Personally, it's impossible to cover this distance in one day, so I am grateful to the driver and the tour guide. By the way, my family canceled our trip two years ago after the Okinawa governor's announcement asking people not to come, and we paid a cancellation fee. Last year, we canceled due to the state of emergency.

I wondered how the people of Okinawa feel about tourists while I was there. There were some bus drivers who had a cold attitude, so if they don't want tourists to come, I wish they would clearly declare that so we can cancel! If they don't want visitors, I hope they will make it clear.

今回、十数年ぶりに沖縄に来ました。毎回忙しいツアーでしたが今回は個人的に予約を入れ、唯一こちらのツアーだけ入れてみましました。大正解！到着日翌日にこのツアーをいれ、後は自由に過ごして本当にバケーションになりました。個人的にこの距離を、一日で回るのは不可能ですので、運転手さん、添乗員さんに、感謝です。ちなみに、我が家は2年前に沖縄県知事さんの沖縄に来ないでとの報道でキャンセル料を払ってキャンセルしました。去年は緊急事態宣言でキャンセルしました。
沖縄の方は、観光客をどう思っているのだろうか、、と気にしながらお邪魔しました。路線バスのドライバーさんとか、冷たい対応の方もいたので、観光客に来て欲しくないならはっきりそう宣言してもらえたらキャンセルします。！来てほしくないならハッキリ公表してほしいです。

As others have mentioned in their reviews, I thought it was a bit expensive at 1,000 yen, especially since it's a little far from the nearest station and in the blazing sun. However, the staff who provided the facility tour explained everything thoroughly, and they answered any questions I had, so I personally felt it was worth the 1,000 yen! I had a great time.

It was nice to see the efforts made daily for safety up close, and I'm glad I participated.

One of the people who joined the tour seemed to be disappointed as it wasn't what they expected, and they sighed throughout, so I think the experience can vary depending on the group.

I would like to visit again at a different time! Thank you for your hospitality.

他の口コミの方が仰ってる様に、参加するまで
最寄駅から少し遠く炎天下で千円…高いなと思ったのですが、施設案内くださるスタッフさんが丁寧に説明してくれたし、質問すれば、なんでも答えくれたので、私的には
千円の価値あり！楽しかったです。

安全の為に日々努力されてる姿を間近でみれて
参加できて、良かったです。

一緒に搭乗（見学）する方が、ご自身が思ってた内容と違ったのか、終始ため息ついてたので…グループに左右されると思いました。

また、別の時間帯に行きたいです！！
お世話になりました。

Originally, I planned to rent a car and travel independently, but this summer there were no available rental cars, and even if there were, the prices were extremely high. So, I decided to join a bus tour this time.

Initially, I was on Course A, which included Ryukyu Village, but due to cancellations during the COVID-19 pandemic, it was changed to Course C.

At the Churaumi Aquarium, we had a generous two and a half hours of free time, but after having lunch and enjoying the aquarium, there was hardly any time left. After that, we visited Kouri Island, Okashi Goten, and Manza Beach, but we only had 20 minutes of free time at each stop, so it was quite hectic. Finally, we spent 50 minutes at American Village, and that time flew by as well.

I think this is a great tour for those who want to see the highlights of Okinawa! The guide was also kind and helpful. Thank you!

元々はレンタカーを借りて個人で旅行するつもりでしたが、今年の夏休みはレンタカーの空きがなく、空いていてもめちゃくちゃ高額になっていたので、今回はバスツアーに参加しました。
当初は琉球村を含むAコースでしたが、コロナ禍でキャンセルが相次ぎ、催行不可との事でCコースに変更となりました。

美ら海水族館はたっぷり2時間半の自由時間がありましたが、昼食を食べて水族館を楽しんだらほとんど時間がありませんでした。その後古宇利島、御菓子御殿、万座毛と回りましたが自由時間がそれぞれ20分だったので大忙しでした。
最後にアメリカンビレッジで50分。こちらもあっという間に時間が過ぎてしまいました。
とにかく沖縄の見所を回りたい！と言う方にはとても良いツアーだと思います。ガイドさんも親切で良かったです。ありがとうございました！

I had wanted to visit the Blue Pond for a long time. It was mystical and absolutely amazing! Since we had about 40 minutes, I was able to take my time and take photos, which made me very satisfied. At Tomita Farm, the lavender was already finished, but at Shikisai no Oka, the colorful flowers were very beautiful, almost like a postcard.

In particular, we were able to stop by the headquarters of Rokkatei, and the view of Ezo Fuji and the magnificent scenery from there was stunning. The guide was calm and explained various things thoroughly. At the end, I asked for recommendations for delicious sushi places, and they kindly provided me with information. The driver was also young and very pleasant. I highly recommend it!

以前から行ってみたかった青い池。神秘的で最高でした❣️約40分あったので、ゆっくり回れて写真も撮れて、満足でした。富田ファームは、ラベンダーが終わっておりましたが、四季彩の丘は色とりどりの花がとても美しく、まるで絵はがきのようでした。
とりわけ、六花亭の本社に寄っていただけたのですが、そこから見る蝦夷富士や、雄大な景色がとても美しいかったです。
ガイドさんも、落ち着いていてしっかりいろんなことを説明してくださり、最後に私がおいしいお寿司の店とかお聞きしたのですが丁寧に教えてくださいました。運転手さんも若くで感じの良い方でした。ぜひお勧めです❣️

I was taken to places in Ishigaki Island that I had never been to before! I really wanted to see a lot of beautiful scenery, so I asked to go to as many places as possible within the time limit. I wanted to visit Kabira Bay, and for the rest, I left it up to my guide. It was also great that we stopped by a shop for delicious pineapple juice along the way.

石垣島で今まで行ったことのないところへ連れて行ってもらえました！とにかく綺麗な景色をたくさん観たかったので、時間内に行けるだけ行ってもらいました。
川平湾は行きたかったので、それ以外はお任せで連れて行ってもらいました。途中で美味しいパイナップルジュースのお店にも寄ってもらえたのも良かったです。

Iriomote Island: It seems that 90% of the island is a protected area, truly giving it a jungle feel. The mangroves were quite impressive!

Yubu Island: The water buffalo carts are a must-see! The buffalo driver plays Okinawan songs on the sanshin.

Taketomi Island: The sea was incredibly beautiful! I think the combination of the sandy beach and the emerald green sea is among the best in the outlying islands. Riding a bicycle in the midsummer heat can be a bit tough, though... haha.

There are repeated transfers by boat and bus, which can be quite strenuous. Be careful of motion sickness. However, this tour is perfect for efficiently exploring three completely different islands and finding your favorite one!

西表島　　島の９割が保護区域だそうで、まさにジャングルという感じ。マングローブにはかなりの迫力がありました！
由布島　　なんといっても水牛車！牛者さん？が三線で沖縄の歌を演奏してくれます。
竹富島　　海がとっても綺麗でした！砂浜とエメラルドグリーンの海の綺麗さが離島の中でもトップクラスだと思います。真夏の自転車が少しきついですが…笑
船やバスでの移動が繰り返しあり、かなりハードではあります。乗り物酔い注意です。ですが、全く違う三島が効率よく回れ、お気に入りの島を見つけるにはもってこい！のツアーです。

We participated as a family of three. Since there were only five groups of participants, everything went very smoothly and on time. However, even though the bus seats were quite empty, we were instructed to fill in from the front, which made me uncomfortable as we were sitting close to another group. I hope that when there are fewer participants, they can consider leaving some empty seats for COVID-19 precautions. It was a shame that we couldn't see the sheep being herded back home since the temperature was high that day. Nevertheless, I think it was great that we were able to see various places in just half a day.

家族3人で参加。
参加者が5組だったので、時間通りとてもスムーズでした。
ただ5組のみでバスの席がガラガラなのに前から詰めて乗るように言われ、別のグループと距離が近かったのが気になりました。参加者が少ない時はもう少しコロナ対策で空席をもうけるなど配慮してほしいなと思いました。
その日は気温が高かったので羊が家に帰っていて放牧してるとこを見られなかったのが残念でした。
でも半日で色々なところを見れたので大変良かったと思います。

I was a bit anxious about participating alone as a woman, but on the day of the event, I had a great time trekking with the guide and others from different groups! We talked about Yakushima, shared stories, and even included some quizzes, making it a fun experience from start to finish.

And the breathtaking view from Taiko Rock! I will never forget it. I fell in love with Yakushima, a place that makes you want to take deep breaths all the time. Thank you for the wonderful time! I will definitely come back!

女性1人参加で当日まで不安もありましたが、当日はガイドさん、一緒に参加していた他グループの方と楽しくトレッキングが出来ました！
屋久島の話はもちろん、お互いの話をまじえつつクイズ等も交えてお話をして頂き、終始楽しく過ごせました。
また、太鼓岩からの絶景！一生忘れられません。
常に深呼吸していたくなる、屋久島が大好きになりました。
この度は楽しい時間をありがとうございました！また絶対来ます！

It was a tough plan to visit Jomon Sugi and Shiratani Unsuikyo in one day, requiring a bit of stamina. However, we were blessed with an amazing guide, and we were able to reach our destination while having fun along the way. Everyone made it back safely without anyone missing, making it a wonderful summer memory.

The view from Taiko Rock was captivating and brought me to tears... It's a sight you definitely should see at least once! (Though it does depend on the weather.)

1日で縄文杉と白谷雲水峡に行く、ちょっと体力のいる過酷な？プランでした。が、最高のガイドさんに恵まれ、登山中もワイワイと楽しく目的地に辿り着くことができ、誰一人欠けることもなく無事に下山もでき、最高の夏の思い出になりました。

太鼓岩からの景色は、心引き込まれうるっとしてしまいました。。。是非一度は見ていただきたい景色です！(天気に左右はされますが)

Overall, I felt that I would definitely like to request this again. The reasons are the guide's calm judgment, attentiveness, and extensive knowledge of Yakushima.

It started to rain a little when we entered the forest, and it became a heavy downpour after we arrived at the moss-covered forest, which forced us to descend quickly. Trekking is inevitably affected by the weather, and there was a point where we had to cross a river, but due to the heavy rain, the current was fast, making it very dangerous to cross. The guide decided to wait for over an hour for safety. Indeed, crossing the river in such a fast current is extremely dangerous, and the guide coordinated with other group tour guides to prioritize safety.

Additionally, the guide was always attentive to participants who were not very strong on their feet, helping them over uneven terrain, which left a strong impression. Although the guide appeared to be a bit older, they had good physical strength and an incredible breadth of knowledge about Yakushima.

I hope that next time we can trek in clear weather. I would like to use this service again.

総合的な感想として，ぜひともまたお願いしたいと感じました。その理由はガイドさんの冷静な判断力と気配り，そして屋久島に対する知識の広さです。

入林の時から少し雨が降っていて，苔むす森に到着してから本格的な大降りとなり，すぐに下りることとなりました。トレッキングは天候に左右されるのは仕方なく，途中で川を渡るところがあったのですが，土砂降りのせいでそこの流れが速く，渡るのが非常に危険な状態になり，ガイドさんの判断で１時間以上待機することになりました。確かに流れの速い状態で川を渡るのは非常に危険で，ほかのグループツアーのガイドとも連携して安全を優先しておりました。

また，足腰があまり強くない参加者に対しては常に気を配って，段差のあるところでは手をとって誘導しておられたのが印象的でした。少し高齢のガイドさんかと見受けられましたが，体力もあり，そして屋久島に対しての知識も半端なく広かったです。

また次回は晴れた状態でトレッキングできると良いですね。また利用したいと思います。
