I was worried about the weather, but it turned out sunny ☀. I was considering going by train on my own, but the tour that included not only Lake Toya but also Lake Shikotsu, Mount Usu, a ropeway, and meals was a great deal and very convenient. I was able to visit everything efficiently and was satisfied.
心配だった天候も 晴れ☀ 個人で 電車で行く事も考えていましたが 目的地の洞爺湖の他に 支笏湖 有珠山 ロープウェイ 食事まで付いてツアーは お得で楽チンでした。効率良く回れ満足です。

The small group size allowed us to take our time exploring. It was perfect for my first trip to Yakushima, as we could efficiently visit the sights. The driver and guide were both wonderful and very comforting. I highly recommend it!
少人数制で、ゆっくりと見学できました。効率良く名所を回れるので、初めての屋久島の旅にピッタリです。ドライバーさんやガイドさんの人柄も大変良く癒されました。本当におススメです!

The weather was great, and the view from Cape Hedo was wonderful.
At Oishi Forest Park, I was able to explore two courses in one hour.
I was moved by the Gajumaru tree at the Okinawa World.
The aquarium was quite crowded even on a weekday, but I was able to see the dolphin show and the feeding of the whale shark.
I was able to tour very efficiently, and I was extremely satisfied!
天気がよく、辺戸岬の見張らしが素晴らしかったです。
大石林山は、一時間で2コース回れました。

Dear Keiko,
Thank you very much for participating in the bus tour organized by Jumbo Tours. We sincerely appreciate your choice of the Hip-Hop Bus Tour for this trip.
It's quite rare for people to visit the northern part of Okinawa on their own, so we're glad to hear that you enjoyed the beautiful weather! The Gajumaru tree truly allows you to feel the wonders of nature, doesn't it? The challenging rock formations at Daichi Forest are definitely points worth exploring!
Thank you for your valuable feedback and photos. We hope you will choose our bus tours again on your next visit to Okinawa. We look forward to welcoming you back!

This was a very long day out.
The mountain was covered in cloud. We were greeted with snow, at the 5th step.
Lots of driving.
Lunch was fair.
It was dull and wet at the lake, which spoiled the experience.
The ride on the rope car was high and fun.
Waiting for others was a pain. We didn't arrive back at our hotel until very late.
A good experience, which looked better on TV.
We saw better views in Shimitzu on another tour, from our cruise ship..

I applied mainly because I could spend two and a half hours at the Churaumi Aquarium. It had been a long time since I participated in a domestic bus tour, and I was impressed by the guide's thoughtfulness and attentiveness. The driving was also careful, allowing me to relax comfortably during the journey. Although the time spent at each location felt a bit short and rushed, if I had been driving myself, I would have gotten tired and wouldn't have been able to visit as many places, so it was very fulfilling.
美ら海水族館に2時間半いられるのを一番の理由に申し込みました。
国内のバスツアーに参加するのは本当に久しぶりで、ガイドさんの気遣いや丁寧さに感動しました。運転も丁寧で移動中に安心して休めました。
1カ所当たりの時間が短く少し駆け足な気もしますが、もし自分で車の運転をしていたら疲れてしまうし、何カ所も回り切れないのですごく充実していました。

It is worse than a similar service in Hong Kong by three criteria:
1) Flexibility for Hop-On and Off users
Purple and Red paths differ only by 3 stations. A short (3-stops) Purple extension to the Red one would be a better option for covering all sites.
2) Usage as an all-weather carrier from point A to point B.
No sitting places on the lower deck is a serious disadvantage on rainy or too sunny days.
3) No Russian language in the list. Adding this option is cheap and will draw more customers from CIS countries like myself (My wife does not speak English and I had to translate for her)
4) The good news is that Tokyo service is organized better than that in Kyoto :)

I had no experience with trekking or mountain climbing, but I participated in this tour. On April 14, when I joined, it was raining heavily, and unfortunately, the view from Taiko Rock wasn't very clear, but we were able to go there.
Since I was inexperienced, I was worried about my physical strength, but I managed to endure it.
The guide was very kind and even served us miso soup for lunch.
There are no other tours that take you to both Jomon Sugi and Shiratani Unsuikyo in one day, but I definitely think it's better to do it in one day.
However, I regret not preparing lightweight and quick-drying clothing (°_°).
トレッキングや登山未経験でしたが、こちらのツアーに参加しました。参加した4月14日はすごく雨が降っていて、太鼓岩の景色は残念ながらあまり綺麗に見えませんでしたが、行くことはできました。
未経験なので、体力にも不安がありましたが、耐えられました。

ただ、服装は軽くて速乾の物を準備すれば良かったと後悔しました(°_°)

We were disappointed with the tour. A long trip to a Park. A boat ride under a lot of bridges which was interrupted by the Guide wanting to know if we wanted the Bus back or would go our own way. Were told it might be 8pm before we got back. We hadn't been able to book into our Hotel before the tour and would need to find food etc so, 8pm was too late for us. We left the tour after the Boat trip and found your own way back by Train.
We found the tour guide very hard to understand and she talked non-stop about many uninteresting things or maybe we just couldn't understand her properly.
We would have like to see some points of interest like a Shrine or two, Tokyo Tower etc.
Sorry can't recommend this one.

I was worried about whether I could manage 22 km from 4:30 AM until the evening, but the guide took breaks as needed and taught us stretches, so I was able to return feeling better than I expected. I was also fortunate with the weather. However, there was someone in the middle of the line who frequently fell, and I got tired from stopping right behind them, so I think it would have gone more smoothly if the guide had walked right behind them to help. I really appreciated that they took photos for us, but I was disappointed that the pictures didn't turn out very well. When I asked for a retake, they only took pictures of the scenery and didn't include me, which was quite disappointing. Overall, I’m satisfied that I returned safely. Thank you very much.
朝4:30集合で夕方まで22kmを乗り切れるか心配でしたが、ガイドさんが適宜休憩を取ったり、ストレッチを教えてくださったので、思っていたよりも元気に戻ることができました。天気にも恵まれてよかったです。ただ、列の真ん中によく転ぶ方がいらして、その真後ろで止まったりして疲れてしまったので、できればガイドさんが気を利かしてガイドさんの直後を歩いてくださるようにしてくれれば、もっとスムーズに行ったのではないかな、と思います。写真を撮ってくださるのもとてもありがたかったですが、写真があまり上手に撮れていなくて、撮りなおしてもらおうとしたら、景色だけを撮って、私を入れてくれなかったのでとてもがっかりしました。全般的には無事に帰れて満足です。どうもありがとうございました。

Our family had the disadvantage of traveling in from Tokyo Bay, so our travel either side of this tour was already extended, and that could not be helped by the tour company. However our pick-up was late from the hotel that we had arrived at just before the scheduled pick-up time that had required us to wake our sleeping children which was rather frustrating. It was also raining and cold. We waited for the bus and then travelled about 10 minutes to waste more time transferring to another bus.
The tour company cannot be held accountable for the weather, but the gondolas were not running, the highest viewpoint we could access was No. 2 and for most of the day Mount Fuji was not visible. Our tour guide was lovely and informative and provided lots of information about points of interest other than those listed on the itinerary. The tour company chose a shrine to visit instead of riding the gondolas which was enjoyable.
The lunch was average, the hot pot was nice but the tempura was stone cold when we arrived.
The stopping points felt rushed and most of the day was spent on the bus. We opted for the bus ride home seeing as we were a family of 5 and our rail passes had expired the previous day. Once passengers transferring to the bullet train had been escorted to the station, our bus waited (or wasted) a considerable amount of time waiting for another bus to join us before beginning the long trip home.
Considering we were the last drop off and had to commute back to our hotel after drop off at the designated hotel, all of the delays and waiting around to transfer and join with other tour groups made the day feel wasted. We definitely regret choosing this activity for our last day in Japan.

This tour made me reflect on what it means to be a guide. The explanations were just a monotonous stream of walking, and my voice couldn't reach the back. When I mentioned that I couldn't hear, the response was that they couldn't raise their voice any higher. There was no explanation about how to walk or about the moving stones; the guide just hurried ahead on their own.
Is this really a guide? Or just someone leading the way?
There were five of us climbing together. One person sprained their ankle, and while two others fortunately didn't get injured, they slipped down 2-4 meters. One person had to retire from the climb. However, in other groups, the guides were considerate, encouraging everyone to support each other as they climbed. I know my lack of stamina played a part, but I wish the guide had managed the pace better and shown more care. It's disappointing, especially since we paid the same fee. I don't think I'll be going back to Yakushima again.
ガイドの仕事とはなんぞやっと考えさせられるツワーでした。ただひたすら歩きながらの説明、後ろまで声は届かず 聞こえないっていうと これ以上声は出ないと反論。足運び方や動いてる石の説明や確かめてをすることもなく一人でさっさといってしまう。
これってガイド?それともただの先頭の人?
一緒に登ったのは5人 一人は捻挫 2人は幸いにも怪我はなかったけど2-4M滑り降り 1人はリタイア でも他の組みはガイドさんが気を使いみんなで励まし合い登っていました。私の体力不足もありましょうがガイドさんのペース配分とか心使いがあればよかったのにと残念です。同じ料金なのに。もう屋久島には行かないと思います

The scenery was very beautiful, as expected from a place that inspired Studio Ghibli. When I visited, it was raining on and off, but in the end, the sun came out, and the light reflected off the dew on the moss, creating a very magical landscape. However, the guide was able to take photos at the basic photo points, but they walked quite quickly, so I couldn't take pictures freely when I thought something was beautiful. It was also disappointing that I couldn't hear the explanations while walking.
ジブリのモデルとなっただけあり、とても綺麗な景色でした
私が行ったときは雨が降ったりやんだりを繰り返してましたが、最後に日が出て、スギゴケに付いた露に光が反射してとても幻想的な風景を見ることができました。
ただ、担当のガイドさんは、基本的な写真ポイントでは撮影していただけますが、結構スタスタと歩いて行ってしまうために、自分で綺麗だと思ったときに、自由に写真を撮ることがあまりできませんでした。

Overall it was a great day. Our guide, George was great but a single day trip is not enough for Mt Fuji due to the travelling time. We spent full 5 days (excluding 1 day for Mt Fuji and 2 travelling days) in Toyko and there is still much to do with the museums, parks and especially the culture.
If you really want to visit Mt Fuji, I would suggest spending the night to enjoy the magnificient Mt Fuji, onsen and mother nature.

Ox cart rides, glass boarding, and rental bicycles are standard activities on Taketomi Island. We only booked the ox cart and glass boarding, and arranged the rental bicycles on-site. Booking the ox cart and glass boarding together is definitely more economical than booking them separately. For rental bicycles, it's smooth to book through the tour company that arranges the ox cart.
Taketomi Island is a must-visit spot for sightseeing in Ishigaki, so I highly recommend it! After the ox cart ride, you can also take commemorative photos with the water buffalo from the front.

Date of Climb: March 31, 2018
Weather: Clear then cloudy (light rain)
Temperature: Around 10 to 20°C
This was my first time visiting Yakushima and seeing Jomon Sugi.
I have very little climbing experience and haven't exercised much lately, so I was worried about whether I could walk the 22-kilometer round trip.
Given those concerns, I thought it would be best to have a guide who knows the area better than anyone else, so I decided to join a tour. It also provided peace of mind in case of any emergencies.
On the day of departure, a taxi picked me up near my accommodation just after 4 AM.
After waiting for about 10 minutes at the bus arrival point, a chartered bus arrived, already filled with climbers.
From there, we set off towards the Arakawa Trailhead. The bus made a stop to pick up the bento I had pre-ordered, which the guide kindly retrieved for us (thank you!).
After about 45 minutes on the bus, we arrived. Everyone was fast asleep, but I couldn't sleep at all due to nerves.
Once we arrived at the trailhead, we had a hearty breakfast with the bento we purchased and took care of our restroom needs before gathering with our guide for a brief orientation. We then did some light stretching as a warm-up.
Since it was still dim, we put on our headlamps and set off!
Walking along the trolley path, we quickly passed through a tunnel, feeling like we were in an Indiana Jones movie. I was filled with excitement for the unknown adventure ahead!
Along the way, the guide provided detailed explanations about Yakushima's environment and geological features, allowing us to learn a lot.
We progressed with a sense of awe at the giant rock formations, unfamiliar birds, and plants, feeling as if we were in a nature far removed from Japan.
After several breaks, we stopped for a restroom break at the entrance to the large tree path.
From here, we entered the actual climbing trail.
The path was quite challenging, but I was moved by the fantastical scenery and the giant cedar trees as I continued on.
There were continuous stairs and steep rocky sections. I made sure to walk carefully and slowly to avoid injury.
At the Wilson stump, we took a perfect heart-shaped photo. I thought it would have been impossible to see it as a heart without the guide!
When the guide announced it was time for lunch, we decided to eat our bento at a resting spot near a water source.
Thanks to the guide's thoughtful gesture, we were treated to some miso soup, which was incredibly delicious! Eating in such a place is so much more enjoyable than at home.
At this point, we were told we had about an hour left to Jomon Sugi, and I was filled with joy as the goal came into sight.
After passing by the large cedar tree, Ohyama Sugi, and the couple cedar trees, only Jomon Sugi remained.
About one kilometer left.
Then, right before us, the overwhelming presence of Jomon Sugi appeared.
It truly had the aura of a king.
All the fatigue I had felt vanished, replaced by a sense of accomplishment and emotion!
After a brief rest, we began our descent.
Going down, I was even more cautious than when climbing. The key was to choose the next foot placement carefully and walk quietly with small steps.
When I finally reached the entrance of the large tree path, which is both the end and the starting point of the trolley path, I let out a sigh of relief.
From there, it was just a matter of walking along the trolley path, but trouble struck!
My partner lost their footing and fell! They couldn't get up for a while, and I worried they might have hurt themselves, but after a moment, they managed to get up on their own, which was a relief.
However, the troubles didn't end there. One of the members strayed off the path and nearly fell off a cliff, which really panicked me.
I had heard that people get careless on the descent of the trolley path and end up in accidents, but I never expected to witness it

登山歴も殆ど無く、最近運動もしてないので
果たして往復22キロの道のりを歩く事が出来るのか?
そうした不安があったので、
現地の事を誰よりも知っているガイドさんを付けた方が
間違い無い!と思い、ツアーに参加することを決めました。
万が一の時にも安心出来ますからね。
出発当日は、朝4時過ぎに宿の近くまでタクシーが
迎えに来てくれました。
そして、バスの到着場所で待つこと10分。
貸切バスが到着し、乗り込むと既に登山客で一杯でした。
そこから荒川登山口向けて出発。
途中、事前予約していたお弁当を受け取る為に

全く眠れませんでしたね。。
登山口に到着後、お弁当屋さんで購入した

簡単なオリエンテーションを受けた後、
皆で軽く準備運動としてストレッチをしました。
まだ薄暗かったのでヘッドライトを装着して、
いざ出発!
トロッコ道を歩いていくと直ぐにトンネルを
通ったので、気分はインディージョーンズの世界♪
未知なる冒険に出発する気持ちで期待が一杯でしたね~
道中、ガイドさんが屋久島の環境や地質の特徴を

絶対にハート型に見えないと思いましたね~
道中、ガイドさんからお昼休憩すると言われたので
水場のある休憩場所でお弁当を食べる事に。

ホント、こういう所で食べるご飯は
家で食べるより何倍も美味しいですね。
この時点で縄文杉まで残り1時間程と言われたので
ゴールが見えて来た喜びに包まれて出発。
縄文杉に次ぐ大木の大王杉、
夫婦杉を過ぎると残すは縄文杉のみ。
残り約1キロ。
そして、目の前に圧倒的な存在感の漂う
縄文杉が現れました。
まさに王者の風格です。
それまでの疲れも吹っ飛ぶくらい、
達成感と感動に溢れましたね!
しばしの休憩後、下山。
下りは上り以上に慎重に進んで行きました。
次の足を置くポイントを選びながら
小さな歩幅で足音立てずに
歩くのがポイントとの事。
なんとか、トロッコ道の終点でもあり
始点でもある大株林道入口に辿り着いた時は
ホッと胸を撫で下ろしました^^
後は、トロッコ道をてくてく歩いていくだけですが
ここでトラブルが発生!
パートナーが足を踏み外してなんと転倒!
しばらく起き上がれ無かったので、
打ちどころが悪かったのかも、と思いましたが
少し待つと自力で起き上がったので
ホッとしました^^;
でも、トラブルはそれだけでは終わらず
なんとその後メンバーが大きく道を踏み外して
危うく崖に落ちそうになった時は、
本当に焦りましたね。。
トロッコ道の下りは気持ちが緩んで
事故に遭う人がいると聞いていましたが、
まさか目の前で起こるとは思いませんでしたよ(汗)
それでも、無事全員で荒川登山口まで戻る事が
出来て、縄文杉トレッキングが無事終了しました!
ガイドさん本当にありがとうございました!
ペース配分や
要所、要所で的確にアドバイスして貰ったのは
本当にありがたかったです。
自分達だけだったら、
帰りのバスに間に合っていたかどうか怪しいものです。
ツアー参加前は、ガイド無しでの登山も考えましたが、
やはり、屋久島の魅力を十分に楽しむなら
ガイドさんを付けて正解でした。
すっかり屋久島の魅力にハマりましたので、
またいつか行きたいと思います!

It was a course starting from the afternoon of the day I arrived. The weather was nice, and I was glad that everyone was very kind and hospitable at each stop.
I participated alone, but there were others who were also solo travelers, so I felt comfortable and was able to enjoy myself leisurely.
Since it was an afternoon course, light snacks and tea were included, and I was pleased to be able to taste Okinawan treats little by little on the terrace with a view of the sea.
It was a great tour for getting to know Ishigaki Island quickly.
到着した日の午後からのコースでした。お天気もよく、立ち寄るところでみなさんにとても優しくおもてなしをしていただけてよかったです。
一人で参加しましたが、ほかにもおひとり様もいたし、とくに違和感もなく、ゆったりと楽しむことができました。
午後からコースなので、軽食とお茶がついてましたが、海が見えるテラスで沖縄のおやつを少しづつ味わうことができてよかったです。
石垣島をささっと知るにはとてもいいツアーでした。

The tour that covers Shiratani Unsuikyo and Jomon Sugi in one day is the only one available. If you go separately, you would end up taking the same route twice, and splitting it over two days could be mentally exhausting on the second day, so I highly recommend this tour that allows you to do it all in one day. According to the guide, even elderly people or those who don't usually exercise can complete it within the time limit. The guide is very knowledgeable about Yakushima and chose a course that suited the weather of the day. (The moss looks beautiful depending on how the sunlight hits it. In fact, as the guide said, the difference between morning and afternoon was remarkable.) Personally, I especially recommend Taiko Rock. It may not be very famous, but the view from Taiko Rock was breathtaking.
白谷雲水峡と縄文杉を1日で回るツアーはこのツアーだけでした。
別々に回ると同じ道を2回通ることになったり、2日に分けてしまうと2日目が精神的にしんどくなると思うので1日で回ることのできるこのツアーは大変おすすめです。
ガイドさんの話では、お年寄りや普段運動をしないという人でも時間内に回っているそうです。
ガイドさんは屋久島を知り尽くしていて、その日の天候に合ったコースを選んでくれました。(苔は日の当たり方次第でとても綺麗に見えるそうです。実際、ガイドさんの言う通り朝と昼とでは全然違いました。)
個人的には太鼓岩が特にオススメです。あまり有名ではない?ようですが、太鼓岩からの景色は絶景でした。

It was amazing!
My favorite was Taiko Rock.
There were some tough paths, but after climbing, it felt great and like I was floating.
The fun of trekking and chatting with the guide made for wonderful memories.
Even the nameless cedar was lovely and soothing.
However, we started at Shiratani Unsuikyo at 5 o'clock, and it was so dark that we couldn't see anything, so it might have been better to split it into two days instead of one.
I was disappointed that Jomon Cedar had barriers around it, making it hard to get close.
さいこうでした!
私のお気に入りは太鼓岩です。
厳しい道もありましたが、登った後は気持ちよくて、浮いてる感じでした。
トレッキングの楽しさ、ガイドさんとのお話も楽しくて、いい思い出になりました。
名前のない杉まで十分素敵で、癒されました。
ただ、5時から白谷雲水峡をスタートしましたが、まっくらで何も見えなかったので、1日でまとめるのではなく2日に分けても良かったかもしれません。
縄文杉は予想していたより、囲いがあって近づけなかったのが残念です。

Yoshi was an excellent guide. He showed us around well and was a good source of information. We would like to thank him very much.
Dear Izham
I'm very glad to see your comments and five stars.
I'll be with you in anywhere Japan if you have a chance to come to Japan again.
I hope your business will be prosperous forever.
I'm dreaming if I could perform as a Jazz singer in your music program in Malaysia.
Good luck!
Yoshi

I realize the weather is out of the control of the tour oppotators, however, we can’t be the first tour that experienced bad weather. And it was clear they had no “Plan B” for when that happened and both Kakone and the cruise were cancelled. Likewise, I know I signed that there would be no refund, but what happened to the tickets for the above activities that we didn’t do?
I’m sure this would be a great experience on a sunny day.
