I participated in both the Odaiba course and the Asakusa course, and I was blessed with good weather, enjoying a wonderful time. I boarded the Odaiba course departing from Tokyo Station, returned to Tokyo Station in about an hour, and then took the Asakusa course. After having lunch in Asakusa, I explored the area and then returned to Tokyo Station on the circular bus. Touring the sights from the higher vantage point of a double-decker bus with an open roof is a unique experience, and I highly recommend it to those who haven't tried it yet.
お台場コースと浅草コースの両方に参加しお天気に恵まれ楽しい時間を過ごしました。東京駅を出発するお台場コースから乗車し1時間程度で東京駅に戻り、その後に浅草コースに乗り浅草で昼食を食べてから浅草観光し、浅草から再度循環バスで東京駅まで戻りました。天井が開いている2階建てバスで通常の車より高い目線で名所を巡り、まだ体験していない方にはお勧めです。

The area is not very convenient for transportation, so it's recommended for efficient sightseeing. The outdoor attractions were blessed with good weather, allowing us to enjoy the beautiful ocean views. I purchased freshly harvested sea grapes (fresh and inexpensive), and the cold draft beer was the best.
For lunch, I chose a personal order and enjoyed the cold noodles made with purple sweet potato (the purple sweet potato tempura was crispy and freshly fried). The "Churaumi Aquarium" met my expectations.
The Ocean Expo Park is vast, but due to the impact of COVID-19, there were few tourists, and I had plenty of time, so I also enjoyed the Tropical Dream Center, Okinawa Village, Ocean Culture Museum, and Emerald Beach (I walked quite fast, but I personally recommend the Tropical Dream Center).
After a sudden rain shower, we arrived at Pineapple Park. The indoor tour was problem-free, and I enjoyed drinking pineapple sparkling wine, resting with juice tastings and sweet samples, and taking photos with the dinosaur in the botanical garden.
Since I was staying in the beach resort area, it was easy to get off the bus first on the way back. During the bus ride, hand sanitization was mandatory, and masks were required. Depending on the facility, hand sanitization and temperature checks were thorough, and bus seating was assigned to avoid crowding.
交通手段が不便な地域の観光なので、効率よく回れてお勧めです。
外の観光は、天気にも恵まれて、美しい海の景観を堪能しました。
朝採り海ぶどうを購入(新鮮で安価)、冷たい生ビールが最高でした。
お昼は個人で自由オーダーを選び、紅芋の冷麺(紅芋の天ぷらは、カラッと揚げたて)を美味しく頂きました。
「美ら海水族館」は期待通り。
海洋博公園内は広大ですが、コロナの影響で観光客も少なく、時間の余裕もあったので、熱帯ドリームセンター・おきなわ郷土村・海洋文化館・エメラルドビーチも楽しみました。(かなり早歩きでしたが・・・熱帯ドリームセンターは、個人的にお勧めです)
夕立があり、パイナップルパークに到着。屋内見学で問題なく、パイナップルスパーリングワインを飲み、試飲のジュースや試食スィーツで疲れを休め、植物園のダイナソーと写真を撮って楽しみました。
ビーチリゾート地区に宿泊していたので、帰りは最初に降車で、楽でした。
バス乗車時は、必ず手の消毒。アスク着用。施設により、手の消毒と検温が徹底、バスの座席も、密を避けて座席指定をされていました。

This was my first time participating in a domestic optional tour. I joined as a solo traveler, but there was plenty of free time on-site, allowing me to explore as I pleased. For lunch, we were served a small portion of Hida beef. I was grateful to be comfortably taken to Gokayama, which is difficult to reach on my own.
The bus was arranged to ensure social distancing, with a vinyl sheet separating the driver from the passengers. We had temperature checks during the gathering, and hand sanitization was required each time we boarded the bus.
Although it was unfortunately rainy, thanks to our guide, Kuroda, I was able to enjoy the tour. The content of his talks was rich and engaging, without being pushy, and there was a nice balance to it. He was a true professional guide.
I definitely want to participate in another tour with Kuroda.
初めての国内オプショナルツアー参加でした。
1人参加でしたが、現地では自由時間がメインで、好きに行動出来ました。
ランチには(少量ですが)飛騨牛も出ました。
個人では行きにくい五箇山へも快適に連れて行って貰えたので、助かりました。
バス内はソーシャルディスタンスをとって座れるよう配慮されており、ドライバーさんとの間にはビニールシートでの仕切りがありました。
集合時に検温、バスの乗車毎に手指消毒もするようになっていました。
あいにくの雨天でしたが、ガイドの黒田さんのおかげで、ツアーを楽しめました。
お話の内容も盛りだくさんで、押し付けがましいところは無く、メリハリがありました。
本物のプロのガイドさんでした。
是非又、黒田さんの別のツアーにも参加してみたいと思っています。
Dear risshun,
Thank you for using our tour service the other day. It was a rainy day, and you must have had to keep your umbrella handy. However, I believe it was great that you could explore both Shirakawa-go and Gokayama, which are UNESCO World Heritage sites, at the same time. Experiencing the two villages with such different atmospheres must have felt like a good deal.
In the rain, the gassho-zukuri village was shrouded in mist, making the original scenery even more beautiful. It sounds like you had a wonderful experience.
If you have the opportunity, I would be delighted if you could join us again in a different season or on a different course. Thank you for sharing your experience with us.

当日は雨が降っていて傘が手放せない日でしたね。でも、白川郷と五箇山の世界文化遺産合掌造り集落を同時に散策できたので良かったと思いますね。雰囲気が全く違った2つの集落の体験も出来たのでお得感もあったと思います。

It was a day course with lunch included, and both the tour guide and the driver were very polite and provided various explanations. The weather was nice, a bit hot, but I thoroughly enjoyed Shirakawa-go. There were only three participants, including myself, but we were able to spend our time comfortably. The lunch featured local specialty dishes, and I was satisfied with the content. There was plenty of time for sightseeing in Hida Takayama, and I walked around every corner of the town. The retro atmosphere and the streets filled with Showa-era charm were wonderful. The final experience of making hand-baked rice crackers was also interesting. I think I will participate again if I have the opportunity. Thank you very much.
1日の昼食付きコースでしたが添乗員さんも運転手さんも丁寧で色々な説明をしていただきました。天気も良くちょっと暑かったですが白川郷も堪能いたしました。参加者は私を含めて3名だけでしたが気持ち良く過ごすことができました。昼食も地元の名物料理でしたが内容も満足いたしました。飛騨高山の観光も十分な時間があり街の隅々まで歩いてまわりました。レトロで昭和感の溢れる街並みが素敵でした。最後の手焼き煎餅体験も面白かったです。また機会があれば参加しようと思います。ありがとうございました。

I participated because I could enjoy both a popular zoo and a spot featured in the guide. The zoo was great, but I was simply amazed by the beauty of the blue pond! The all-you-can-eat lunch and melon were nice, but it was a shame I got full after just four pieces. The driver was from China and was very courteous. There were also participants from China on the same tour, which must have been reassuring. Due to COVID, many events at the zoo were canceled, so I would like to visit again when I have the chance.
人気の動物園とガイドにも載っているスポットがどちらも楽しめるということで参加しました。
動物園はもちろんの事、青い池の綺麗さにただただ感動!
お昼とメロン食べ放題も良かったですが、4切れでお腹いっぱいになったのが残念。
ドライバーさんは中国の方でしたが、丁寧に対応してくださいました。同じツアーに中国の参加者がいらっしゃったので、心強かったのではないでしょうか。
コロナということで、動物園もイベントが色々中止になってたので、また機会があればゆっくり行ってみたいです。

- I participated in the September holiday and was able to take my time exploring.
- Although the meeting time was a bit early, thanks to that, we could stroll around Shirakawa-go without getting caught in traffic.
- It was great to visit not only the famous Shirakawa-go but also the Ainokura Gassho-zukuri Village.
- Our guide, Mr. Kuroda, provided us with recommended photo spots that weren't listed in the guidebook, which made the experience worthwhile.
・9月の連休に参加しましたが、ゆっくり回ることができました。
・ちょっと早めの集合時間ですが、そのおかげで渋滞に巻き込まれずに白川郷を散策できました。
・日本人に有名な白川郷だけでなく、相倉合掌造り集落も回れてとても良かったです。
・ガイドの黒田さんはガイド詩に載っていない、おすすめ撮影スポット等を下さい、それだけでも参加した価値があったと思います。
Dear MK2,
Thank you for participating in our tour this time. That day was right in the middle of Silver Week, and on our way back, we noticed that the oncoming lane heading to Shirakawa-go was experiencing a major traffic jam. We were very lucky to avoid that traffic.
This tour offers a great value as you can visit both Shirakawa-go and Gokayama, which are registered as World Heritage Sites, in just one day. I believe you could really feel the different atmospheres of each place. We are very pleased that you, along with everyone else, enjoyed it.
The photos you took are wonderful, and they all look beautiful. The picture of the dragonfly in flight shows quite a skill. The recommended spots also look picturesque. Thank you for sharing such seasonal images.
With the good weather, I hope you fully enjoyed the World Heritage Sites as promised by the tour name. I believe it has become a lovely memory for you.
Thank you for sharing your experience of this tour. We hope to see you again in a different season!
Best regards,

The tour guide provided an incredibly informative experience, allowing us to enjoy the Yakusugi trekking much more than we would have on our own. Additionally, this tour was great because it offered direct transportation from the hotel in the Miyanoura area to the trailhead without the need for transfers, which was very convenient.
ツアーガイドの方のガイドがとても内容の濃いもので、個人でトレッキングするより数倍も屋久杉トレッキングを楽しめました。

The rental gear was brought to the hotel the day before, and I chose a pair of hiking boots that fit well. I was picked up at the hotel at 5 AM. After eating a rice ball for breakfast, I took a public bus to the trailhead, and we started trekking at 6:45. The trolley path was flat, and I made smooth progress while occasionally enjoying the scenery.
The latter part, which involved climbing rocky areas, was quite tough. I took breaks roughly every hour, sweating a lot while using my trekking poles. Approaching my sixties, I found it challenging. At one point, I honestly considered saying, "I'll wait here." The others were younger or more experienced hikers, but everyone, including the guide, was kind and checked on me, and I somehow managed to reach Jomon Sugi.
On the way back, while being careful with my footing, I felt a bit more relaxed since it was downhill. I was happy to achieve my goal in 10 hours. However, considering the inconvenience to others, I enjoyed the Shiratani Unsuikyo more the next day, where I could walk at my own pace, take photos, and rest.
For those confident in their physical fitness, I think the tour with the guide is excellent, as you can hear tips on walking and various experiences shared.
前日ホテルにレンタル用品を持ってきてくれ、サイズの合った登山靴をチョイス。
午前5時ホテルにお迎え。
朝食おにぎりを食べ公共バスで登山口へ、6:45トレッキングスタート。
トロッコ道は平坦で景色を時々眺めながらスムーズに進みました。
後半の上り岩場はかなりきつく、1時間弱に1回のペースで休憩を入れ、ストックを使いながら汗をたっぷりかきました。
還暦前、キビシイと思いながらのチャレンジ。私1人遅いペースで、正直途中、「ここで待ってます。」と言おうかとも考えました。他は若い方や歩き慣れた方で、ガイドさんはじめ皆さん優しく、振り向いてもらったり、気にかけてもらいながら何とか縄文杉に辿り着きました。
復路は足元は気をつけながらも、下りなので多少の余裕も出ました。
10時間、目標達成は嬉しかったです。
ただ他の方へのご迷惑を考えると、翌日自分のペースで歩き写真を撮ったり休憩できたりした、白谷雲水峡の方が楽しみながら行けました。
体力に自信のある方なら、ガイドさんのコースでの説明も歩き方のコツ、いろんな体験談も聞けて、とてもいいツアーだと思います。
Dear Fumino,
I apologize for the late reply, and thank you very much for participating in the Jomon Sugi tour.
First of all, I'm glad to hear that you reached the goal safely without any injuries.
Many customers have mentioned that they felt like giving up several times, but they were able to complete the walk thanks to their companions and everyone's encouragement. However, having good physical strength allows for a more comfortable experience, so even though you are approaching your sixties, please focus on building your stamina to walk in Yakushima and other mountains.
Thank you for your continued support.

Both the driver and the guide were friendly and kind. They were knowledgeable and had great conversation skills.
In Shirakawa-go and the Aikawa settlement, I was able to gain information that only participants of the tour would know, and I took the best photos. They also shared various insights about the World Heritage site, which linked well with what my daughter is currently learning about Japanese history and culture, making it a valuable study experience for her.
The final experience of making rice crackers was fun, and I was pleasantly surprised that we could take a detour to Toyama Prefecture. We were able to visit three places: Kanazawa, Gifu, and Toyama.
I highly recommend this tour.

Many customers visit Yakushima for a two-night, three-day stay, and there are many who wish to visit both Jomon Sugi and Shiratani Unsuikyo (Taiko Rock) in one day, which is why we created this tour.
Honestly, it is quite challenging to cover both courses in one day, but I believe the sense of accomplishment when you reach the goal is truly overwhelming.

I participated in August 2020. I usually engage in sports, but it was my first time hiking, and I was a bit worried about the 22-kilometer round trip. However, once I started, the trolley path was easy to walk and gentle, and the mountain trail to Jomon Sugi was manageable with breaks, so I didn't feel any difficulty at all.
令和2年8月に参加しました。
普段からスポーツをしておりますが、登山は初めてですし往復22キロの山道ということで少し心配でした。

The souvenir shops along the way usually have many samples, but due to COVID-19, there are hardly any. The aquarium has also canceled all events. Well, on the bright side, you can enjoy watching the fish slowly without the crowds.
途中の土産物屋は試食が多い店だがコロナの影響でほとんど無し。
水族館もイベントはすべて中止。まぁ密にならず魚をゆっくり見ることが出来るのでその点は良い。

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。
Dear Michani,
I apologize for the delayed response. Thank you very much for participating in the Jomon Sugi half-day + Shiratani Unsuikyo half-day (to Taiko Rock) two major trekking course day tour.
I sincerely apologize for the guide being late on the day of the tour. I will ensure strict measures are taken to prevent any inconvenience in the future.
Regarding the tour, I'm glad to hear you were able to reach the goal despite it being a challenging course. Yakushima offers many satisfying activities beyond Jomon Sugi and Shiratani Unsuikyo, including other mountains, rivers, villages, and the sea. We look forward to welcoming you back to the island.
Thank you for your continued support.

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。

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 cruise around Iriomote Island, the female captain was skilled in both guiding and maneuvering the boat, providing detailed explanations about the mangroves that were very easy to understand. The bus driver also gave us a tour of the island, which allowed us to hear more about Iriomote than we had expected. We were fortunate to see the adorable sight of a mother water buffalo and her newborn calf, as it coincided with the calving season. The water buffalo pulling the cart was very gentle and smart, making us feel a bit guilty for having it carry our weight. Although it was a short time, we enjoyed a relaxing experience with the sound of the sanshin and the boatman's singing. If I had to say something, there were many explanations about the Iriomote wildcat, so I wished I could have seen a specimen or photos somewhere.
In the afternoon on Taketomi Island, we initially planned to only rent bicycles and not ride the water buffalo cart. However, as soon as we arrived at the Taketomi Island Tourist Center, a female employee quickly asked, "What about the water buffalo? Aren't you riding? Bicycles? Fill this out!" I was confused about where to write what, and as I hesitated, she let out a big sigh and left the area, glaring at us from a distance. We were left unattended, but later, another employee helped us, and we were able to rent bicycles. However, the childish behavior we encountered right after arriving on Taketomi Island ruined the excitement we had been looking forward to. It was frustrating to see an employee who seemed to be annoyed when tourists didn't follow the routine they expected. To be frank, I believe that the tourism and hospitality industry is not suited for such individuals. If they want to work at their own pace, they should choose a desk job at home. In hindsight, I even wish I had scolded her on the spot for her rude behavior. The first employee at the Taketomi Island Tourist Center would likely realize this was about her if she saw it.
While the response from the other employees was good, it was disappointing that just one person left a negative impression. Of course, Taketomi Island itself was a wonderful place, so when I visit again, I hope to enjoy my trip without relying on the Taketomi Island Tourist Center.
西表島のクルーズでは女性の船長さんでガイドも操縦も上手、マングローブを詳しく説明してくれてとても分かりやすかった。送迎バスのドライバーさんも島内の案内をしてくれるので思っていた以上に西表島の話しを聞くことができて良かったと思う。由布島の水牛もちょうど子牛が生まれた時期と重なり可愛らしい親子の姿を見せてもらうことも出来ました。水牛車を引く水牛はとても大人しくお利口さんで重たい私達を運んでもらうのが申し訳なくなるほど。短い時間でしたが三線と船頭さん?の歌声でのんびりした時間を楽しむことが出来ました。しいて言えば西表やまねこの説明が沢山あったのでどこかで剥製や写真などでも見てみたかった。
午後の竹富島では水牛車には乗らずレンタサイクルのみの予定でしたが、到着後竹富島観光センターに着くなり女性の従業員が水牛は?乗らないの?自転車?これに記入して!と矢次早に言われどこに何を書いて良いのか分からずに戸惑っていると「はぁーっ」と大きなため息をつかれその場を離れていき離れたところからからこちらの様子を伺いを睨みつける始末。放置された私達でしたがその後他の従業員さんが対応して下さり無事に自転車を借りることができたのですが、竹富島到着後すぐにこのような子供じみた対応をされ楽しみにしていた気分は台無しにされました。暑い中毎日同じルーティン作業で観光客が思った通りに動かないと面倒になり不貞腐れる従業員。はっきり言わせてもらいますが観光業、接客業は向いていない。自分のペースで仕事をしたいのならデスクと向き合う在宅の仕事を選んだら?と言いたい。というか今となればその場で叱り飛ばしてやれば良かったとさえ思うほど腹の立つ対応だった。竹富島観光センターの最初に担当した従業員がこれを見たら自分の事だと察しが着くでしょう。
他の従業員さんの対応は良かっただけにたったその1人のせいで残念な思いが残ってしまった。
もちろん竹富島自体はとても素敵な所でしたので次回訪れる時は竹富島観光センターにはお世話にならず楽しめる旅にしたいと思います。
Dear Neko,
Thank you very much for participating in the Ishigaki Island Dream Tour's remote island tour.
Upon reviewing your feedback, we confirmed with the local staff that, as you pointed out, their response did not meet your expectations, which caused you to feel uncomfortable. We sincerely apologize for this.
We have promptly communicated your feedback to the person in charge at the Taketomi Tourist Center, emphasizing the importance of providing service from the customer's perspective. We have received the following responses regarding improvements:
- Ensuring thorough sharing of handover details among reception staff.
- Retraining employees. (Currently, we do not have fixed roles, and there are days when water buffalo drivers and shuttle drivers also handle reception, leading to inconsistencies in service. We will discuss whether there were any issues in the reception process and work on improvements.)
Moving forward, we will strive to enhance our services in cooperation with each remote island facility to ensure that customers who participate in our tours can enjoy and be satisfied with the islands of Yaeyama.
Thank you for your valuable feedback.

この度は石垣島ドリーム観光の離島ツアーにご参加いただき誠にありがとうございました。
今回いただきましたご意見につきまして現地に確認をしたところ、ご指摘のとおりスタッフが
野良猫様にご満足いただける対応ではなく、それが原因で不愉快な思いをさせてしまいましたことを
深くお詫びいたします。
今回いただいたご意見は、早急に竹富観光センターの責任者に伝え、お客様の立場に立ったサービス対応を
するよう注意をし、改善の対応として下記のとおり回答が届きましたのでご報告いたします。
・受付担当者へ引継ぎ内容共有の徹底。
・社員の再教育。(現在は担当を固定せず水牛引きや送迎ドライバーが受付に入る日もある為
対応にばらつきがありました。
受付の流れに問題が無かったか、スタッフ間で話合いを設け改善を図って参ります。)
今後もツアーに参加していただいたお客様へ、八重山の島々を楽しんで満足していただくために、
各離島施設と協力関係を築きながらサービスの向上に努めて参ります。
貴重なご意見ありがとうございました。

The wind was strong, but it was a beautiful sunny day, perfect for a tour! I chose the glass-bottom boat and bus sightseeing plan on Taketomi Island, and the bus driver was really great—he took photos for us, showed us how to find star sand, and told us about power spots. I was torn between this plan and cycling when I made the reservation, but choosing this plan was absolutely the right decision! I'm sure if I had chosen cycling, I would have been drenched in sweat (laughs). The bus was cool and perfect! We saw two families of wild boars in the mangroves, and the water buffalo was fun too. I had a wonderful time. Thank you!
風が強かったけど晴天でツアー日和でした!
竹富島ではグラスボードとバス観光プランを選択したのですが、バスの運転手さんが写真を撮ってくれたり、星の砂の見つけ方や、パワースポットを教えてくれたりとすごく良い対応をしてくださったので、予約時にサイクリングと悩みましたがこちらのプランにして大大大正解でした!
きっとサイクリングを選択していたら汗だくでやばかったはず(笑)バス、涼しくて最高!
マングローブでは猪の親子が2組も見れたし、水牛も楽しいし、とても素敵な時間を過ごす事が出来ました。ありがとうございました!

This was my first trekking experience in life, and I usually don't exercise much. It was a challenging journey with heavy rain due to an approaching typhoon, but thanks to the guide's instructions on adjusting our clothing and teaching us how to walk without straining our legs and back, we were able to reach the goal safely!
When I saw the Jomon cedar at the summit, I was so moved that I almost cried! There were many highlights besides the named Jomon cedar and the couple's cedar, and I was glad to receive detailed explanations.
It turned out that there were only the two of us in the tour group, and with only about 50 climbers that day, it was great that there was no crowd, allowing us to take plenty of photos!
Since the weather can change quickly, I recommend preparing waterproof gear and shoes. It was reassuring that masks were required in the shuttle bus and that social distancing was maintained.
Our guide, Mr. Shinmura, was very knowledgeable and answered our questions thoroughly. He also provided recommendations for shops in Yakushima, which was very helpful! Thank you so much for your support.
普段あまり運動をしていない中の人生初トレッキングでした。
台風接近中で途中激しい雨に遭い険しい道のりでしたが、ガイドさんの指示で服装を調節したり、足腰を痛めない歩き方を教えていただいたおかげで無事ゴールできました!
頂上で縄文杉を見たときは感動して涙が出そうになりました・・!名前がついている縄文杉や夫婦杉以外にも見どころがたくさんあり、詳しく説明していただけてよかったです。
ツアー参加者はたまたま私たち夫婦2名のみで、その日全体の登山者が50人程度ということもあり、混雑がなく写真をたくさん撮れたことも良かったです!
天候が変わりやすいので雨具や靴は防水性が高いものを用意することをお勧めいたします。
送迎の車やシャトルバス内ではマスク必須でソーシャルディスタンスが保たれており、安心でした。
ご担当いただいたガイドの新村さんは知識豊富でこちらの質問にも丁寧に答えていただきました。屋久島のお勧めのお店等も教えていただき、とても助かりました!お世話になり本当にありがとうございました。
Dear Mizuki,
I apologize for the delayed response. Thank you very much for participating in the Jomon Sugi tour.
While it is easier to walk in sunny weather, personally, I find that trekking in heavy rain leaves a more lasting impression, so it will surely be unforgettable. It seems it will take some time before we can return to our usual trekking activities amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, but once things settle down, we sincerely look forward to your next visit to the island.

Dear Kazu, thank you very much for using the Sky Hop Bus. We appreciate that you took both the Odaiba course and the Asakusa course. After enjoying the Rainbow Bridge on the double-decker open bus to Odaiba, sightseeing in Asakusa and having lunch on the Asakusa course is indeed a golden route. Since it's a double-decker open bus, you can enjoy the scenery through the windows during your travels, not just the transportation to tourist spots. We're glad to hear you enjoyed it. The scenery changes with the seasons, so we look forward to your next visit!
kazu様、この度はスカイホップバスをご利用頂きまして、誠にありがとうございます。お台場コースと浅草コースの双方ご利用頂けたとのことでありがとうございます。お台場へ行くコースのレインボーブリッジを2階建てオープンバスでご利用頂いたあとに、浅草コースで浅草観光とご昼食はまさにゴールデンコースですね。2階建てオープンバスなので、単なる観光地の移動だけではなく、移動中も車窓をお楽しみいただけることがこのバスの特長です。お楽しみ頂けたとのことで何よりです。季節によって見える景色が変わりますので、またのご利用をお待ちしております!
