All Reviews for 1-Day Tours

Time well spent and the guide speaks well and explains clearly. She is informative and never a dull moment. Would recommend friends/family to book this tour. thanks alot.

The main tourist attractions in central Okinawa were packaged together, and I enjoyed every moment from start to finish.

I thought it would have been nice to see the super famous Heart Rock on Kouri Island, even just passing by on the bus. The Churaumi Aquarium, of course, had the large tank with whale sharks, but enjoying a café while overlooking the big tank was a luxurious experience. After that, instead of watching the dolphin show, I took a stroll on Emerald Beach, which turned out to be a lovely and refreshing place. I wondered if the inclusion of the Okashi Goten was a commercial strategy or a collaboration, but I ended up buying some souvenirs (laughs). The atmosphere and the dance at Ryukyu Mura were also great, and I even got to meet the famous staff member, Grandma Umeko (laughs).

Also, as many of you have written in your experiences, the guide was truly wonderful. Not only did we hear stories about Okinawa, but there were also songs included, making the entire day of the tour enjoyable, even on the bus.

In short, I was able to spend a fulfilling day. I highly recommend this to anyone planning to explore this area!

沖縄中部の主な観光地がパッケージされていて最初から最後まで盛りだくさん、十二分に楽しめました。

古宇利島では、超有名なハートロックまで見れたら良かったかなと思います、バスで通るだけでもいいので。
美ら海水族館は、ジンベイザメの大水槽ももちろんですが、大水槽を眺めながらのカフェが優雅なひと時でした笑
その後イルカのショーは見ないでエメラルドビーチを散歩しましたが、思った以上に素敵で気持ちよい場所でした。
御菓子御殿が組み込まれているのは、商業戦略かタイアップ？と思ってしまいましたが、乗せられて（笑）しっかりお土産を買いました。
琉球村の踊りも雰囲気も良かったです、名物スタッフ・ウメトおばぁにも会えましたし笑

あと、皆さんも体験談でよく書かれてますが、ガイドさんはとても素晴らしかったです。
沖縄話だけでなく唄なども交え、バスの中も含めツアー１日を堪能できました。

と、とにかく充実した一日を過ごす事ができました。
この辺りを巡ることを予定されている方には超オススメです！

While the trip was good, everything went smoothly and the tour guide was very informative and helpful, it was disappointing to learn we have very little time at each stop. We felt very rushed, including for lunch. I suggest the tour return later, or you are upfront with customers that in order to fit in all of the activities the actual time at each stop is very limited.

The mangrove cruise in Iriomote Island offered scenery that felt like it was not in Japan. Additionally, the bus driver on the way to Yubu Island was so entertaining that he could be mistaken for a Yoshimoto comedian, keeping the passengers engaged throughout the ride. The water buffalo also worked hard pulling the cart, making the island crossing feel quick. On Taketomi Island, the sightseeing with the glass-bottom boat and water buffalo cart also ended in no time. I would love to go again if I have the chance.

西表島でのマングローブクルーズは、此処は日本と思えない景色でした。
また、由布島までのバス移動の運転手さんは、吉本芸人かと言える位、乗客を
退屈させない、素晴らしい運転手さんでした。
水牛も一生懸命に牛車を引っ張ってくれていたので、あっという間の島渡でした。
竹富島では、グラスボートと水牛車での観光もあっという間に終わってしまいました。
また、機会があれば行きたいです。

I participated with my small child. The bus guide was very pleasant, and her voice was easy to understand. I boarded in Naha City, but the bus picks up at various hotels, which will be helpful for my next trip to Okinawa when choosing a hotel. We visited the aquarium and played with my child at Emerald Beach near the aquarium. With a full three hours, there are various ways to enjoy the experience depending on the person.

小さい子供と2人で、参加しました。バスガイドさんが、非常に感じ良く、声も聞き取りやすかったです。私は、那覇市内から乗車しましたが、色々なホテルにバスがお迎えに行くので、次に沖縄旅行に来る時のホテルの参考にもなりました。水族館を見学して、水族館近くのエメラルドビーチで、子供と遊びました。3時間たっぷりあるので、人によって、楽しみ方が色々出来ます。

Very nice and very fascinating tour. Will definitely do it again. Also no problem recommending to friends

The hotel shuttle service was very convenient. I had a lot of fun throughout the day ( ᵔᵒᵔ )♡ I wished I had a bit more time at Pineapple Park. The next Hanasaki Marche had a longer stay than Pineapple Park, so it might be good to adjust the time here. I really enjoyed Churaumi. Pineapple sorbet was served in the car, along with a souvenir of one piece of Chinsuko. I highly recommend it.

Dislike the multi dips , guide changing in mid day, and bus changing to max out the margins for the agency, sacrificing the comfort level and experience of the users. Morning guide was really poor as she waited for the return passengers from the shrine at the bus parking area instead of providing some sort of assistance in between the shrine and the bus lot

I chose this bus tour as it allows me to efficiently travel with my elderly mother. The bus also had a singing tour guide, which made our time enjoyable.

高齢の母と効率よく回れるバスツアーとして選びました。バスには歌うバスガイドさんも同行しており、楽しく過ごすことができました。

I participated on May 14th. It rained from the early morning, with the weather alternating between clearing up and drizzling.

This was my first time hiking, and I was only worried about whether I could walk for 10 hours, but once we started, I never thought about wanting to quit! I was able to enjoy the climb!

The trolley path was 8 kilometers long, and it felt like we were just walking endlessly. It was really long. The guide shared various stories and pointed out animal tracks and a nest of newborn baby birds, which made the journey enjoyable. Once we finished the trolley path, the real climbing began, and I thought reaching the Wilson stump was the hardest part. After that, the footing was relatively stable, so it wasn't too difficult.

The Wilson stump is famous for its heart shape, but honestly, I don't think I would have been able to take a nice photo of the heart without the guide. Many people entered the stump and quickly left, and I don't think they got a good shot of the heart. I couldn't tell what made the "Three Generations Cedar" special when I saw it myself, but the guide explained each one, which was very helpful. Along the way, there were trees that looked like dragons and recommendations from the guide.

The attractions on the tourist map were spaced far apart, so just climbing would have been tough. I noticed several troubles like shoe soles coming off and people injuring their feet, but those with a guide were able to get treatment and continue climbing. Some individuals who came on their own found the mountain too tough and decided to turn back.

Although it was my first time hiking, the guide adjusted the pace, provided breaks at good times, and offered miso soup and snacks for salt replenishment, which made the experience very enjoyable! If you're not an experienced hiker, having a guide is definitely recommended!

５月１４日に参加しました。
朝一から雨でず時おり病んだり少し降ったりを繰り返しす天気でした。

登山は初めてで10時間も歩けるか不安しかなかったのですが、いざ始まってみるとやめたい！とか思うことは一切なく楽しんで登ることができましたっ！

トロッコ道は8キロもあり、ただただ永遠にひたすらに歩きます。本当に長いです。ガイドさんが色んな話をしてくれたり、動物の跡や生まれたての鳥の赤ちゃんの巣を教えてくれたりしたので楽しみながら進むことができました。
トロッコ道が終わると山登りが始まりますがウィルソン株にたどり着くまでが一番大変だと思いました。そこからは割と足場が作られているのでそこまでしんどくなかったです。

ウィルソン株はハートが有名ですが正直ガイドさんが居なかったら綺麗なハートの写真は取れなかったと思います。割と切り株に入ってすぐ出て行く人も多くいました。その人たちは♡に撮れてないと思います。三代杉なども自分で見たら何が三代なのか分かりませんでしたが、ガイドさんが一つ一つ話してくれるのでとても助かりました。
道の半ばにもドラゴンに見える木やガイドさんのオススメの木を教えてくれました。
観光マップに載っているものは間隔が長いので単に登るだけだと辛かったと思います。

靴底が取れる、足を痛めるなどトラブルがあるのを随所に目にしましたがガイドさんが付いている方は処置をしてもらって登ることができていました。
個人できている方は山がきついので諦めて帰る方もいました。
私も山登りは初めてでしたが、ペースを調節してくれたり、いいタイミングで休憩を入れてくれたり
塩分補給にお味噌汁やおやつをくれたり、とっっっても良くしてもらったので始終楽しく登ることができました！
登ったことがある、ベテランの方で無ければ絶対ガイドさんが居た方がいいですっ！

It was very crowded due to Golden Week, but I thought I wouldn't be able to navigate as efficiently without the tour, so I decided to participate. When we entered the parking lot at Fushimi Inari, we were a bit behind schedule, but as expected from the professionals, they adjusted things so that we hardly lost any sightseeing time.

We also included a meal, and it was definitely the right choice! We were able to enjoy our meal in a relaxed manner, separate from the huge crowds outside.

There were so many highlights, and by the end of the day, my feet were sore. Thank you for taking our family photos and for your thoughtful considerations.

I had a great time. Thank you!

GWのため大変な混雑でしたが、ツアーでなければここまで効率良く回れないと思い参加させて頂きました。
伏見稲荷の駐車場に入る時、少し時間は押しぎみでしたが、さすがプロ❗修正してほとんど観光時間を短縮することはなかったと思います。
食事も付けていたのですが、頼んでいて大正解！外の大混雑とは別にゆったりと食べられる事が出来ました。
沢山の見所満載で、１日の終わりには足はパンパンでした。
家族写真を取っていただいたり、ご配慮ありがとうございました。

楽しかったです。ありがとうございました。

The bus driver, tour guide, and interpreter were all very pleasant, making for an enjoyable trip. The free time for exploration was just right, and the hand-made rice cracker experience was fun as well. If there's another opportunity, I would love to do it again.

バスの運転手さん、添乗員さん、通訳の方、全ての方、感じがよく楽しい旅になりました。
自由散策の時間も程よく、手焼き煎餅体験も楽しかったです^_^
機会がありましたら、また、よろしくお願いします。

I participated with my 80-year-old mother.
On Taketomi Island, we chose a bus tour and a water buffalo cart, but my biggest concern was the restroom situation.

Since it was a group tour, I was worried about whether my mother could keep up with everyone, if there would be time for restroom breaks, and if there were restrooms available at various locations.
However, the staff kindly reminded us at key points to use the restroom while we had the chance, which allowed us to enjoy the tour with peace of mind.

As far as I can remember, the restrooms were available at the following locations:
on the boat heading from Ishigaki Island to Iriomote Island,
at the port of Iriomote Island,
on the boat during the mangrove cruise,
at two locations within the Yubu Island botanical garden,
at the first stop of the Taketomi Island bus tour,
and at the waiting area for the water buffalo cart.

I think it should be manageable for those participating with elderly individuals, as long as restroom breaks are not needed too frequently.

One slight disappointment was the lunch.
It felt very much like a typical group meal.
Other than that, I was satisfied!

80歳の母を連れての参加でした。
竹富島ではバス観光と水牛車をチョイスしましたが、
一番心配だったのがトイレ。

団体のツアーだし、母が皆さんについていけるか、
トイレの時間はあるのか、
そもそもトイレがあちこちにあるのか、
ずっと気になってました。
でも要所要所でトイレに行く方は今のうちに！と、
スタッフの方が声をかけてくださったので、
安心してツアーを回れました。

トイレがあった場所を覚えてる範囲でかくと、
石垣島から西表島へ向かう船の中、
西表島の港、
マングローブクルーズの船の中、
由布島の植物園内に2か所くらい、
竹富島バス観光の最初に立ち寄ったところ、
水牛車の待合場所…、
といったところでしょうか。

もし高齢の方を連れて参加する方でも、
よほどの頻度でない限りは大丈夫だと思います。

ちょっと残念だったのがお昼ごはん。
いかにも団体さんの…、って感じのご飯でした。
後は満足です！

The 10-hour hike was quite tough, but I encouraged each other with the people I was climbing with, and when I finally saw the Jomon Sugi, a sense of accomplishment and exhilaration welled up from deep within me. I'm really glad I signed up for this tour and got to see the Jomon Sugi.

１０時間登山はなかなかしんどかったのですが、一緒に上っている方々と共に励まし合いながら登り切り、念願の縄文杉を見れたときは達成感と高揚感が芯から湧き上がってきました。本当にこのツアーに申し込んで縄文杉を見れて良かったです。

I was glad to be able to use the round-trip transportation, including the water buffalo cart and the island bus tour, at this price. If I have another opportunity, I would like to incorporate a different plan and make a reservation.

水牛車と島内バスツアーが往復の交通費含め
この価格で利用出来て良かったです。
また機会があったら違うプランも組み込んで
予約したいと思います。

The weather forecast mentioned a possibility of rain, but we were able to complete the hike without a single drop falling. On the way back down the mountain, I started to feel pain in the back of my right knee, which was tough, but thanks to the support of our guide, I was able to descend safely, and I am truly grateful for that.

I was lucky to see the Japanese macaque and the sika deer, even though they were at a distance. I think I was at my physical limit, and I believe it would be difficult as I get older, so I'm glad I went.

天気予報では雨の可能性もあると言われていたのですが 一滴も降られることなく 完歩出来ました。 帰りの山下り中 右ひざの裏あたりが痛みだし 大変でしたが ガイドさんのサポートもあり無事下山でき 本当に感謝しています。
ヤクザル、ヤクシカも 離れた場所でしたが見れましたのでラッキーでした。
体力的にはいっぱいいっぱいだったと思いますが さらに年齢が上がると 無理だろうと思いますので 行って良かったです。

We were extremely impressed by this tour. It was well-organized and everyone had enough time to experience the itinerary without rushing.

The finer details:

First (and most important): Mount Fuji
- During a clear day, you have many opportunities to see it.
- 5th Station, the Lake Kawaguchi cruise and ropeway all have fantastic views.
- You can buy souvenirs at each stop!

Food
- Lunch was at an amazing restaurant in Fuji-Q Highland. An appetizer, entree, dessert, and coffee/tea are all included.
- You can also explore the surrounding area if you finish eating early!
- You get to have soft serve ice cream at the end of the tour with your pick of interesting flavors.

Efficiency and Comfort
- The bus was very comfortable and there are bathroom breaks during the ride.
- The tour guides (shoutout to Nao-san and David!) were very friendly and knowledgeable. They were fluent in both English and Japanese.
- Despite some traffic, we were pretty much on time for every stop and got back to Shinjuku before 7pm.

I highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to experience Mount Fuji from different viewpoints and have some great food and fun along the way.

Thank you for your understanding despite the inconvenience caused by changing the ferry schedule and the mix-up with the meeting terminal. I appreciate how the staff took care of the children who were rushing and helped us make the most of our time.

Thanks to your support, we were able to relax on the ferry and enjoy our time after landing on Taketomi Island.

Due to the nature of the water buffalo, the ride was leisurely, allowing us to take our time and enjoy the scenery. The shamisen and singing were pleasant, creating wonderful memories at the end of our trip.

Even though it's an island, it's surprisingly spacious, so I would like to visit the beaches we couldn't go to this time on our next trip.

　フェリーの時間を変更していただいたり、集合するターミナルを間違えたりして、ご迷惑をおかけしたにも関わらず、ダッシュした子どもたちのことを気遣って下さったり、時間を有効利用できるように、スタッフの皆さんでフォローしてくださり、ありがとうございました。

　おかげで、フェリーの中で落ち着くことができ、竹富島に上陸してからも楽しむことができました。

　水牛さんの性格もあり、のった車は、のんびり、まったりで、じっくり見ることが出来ました。三味線と歌も心地よく、旅の最後に、いい思い出になりました。

　島といえども、案外、広いので、次回は、今回いけなかったビーチの方にも行ってみたいです。

　

French language

The voice in French was recorded with an automatic and robotic voice like Google translate. It was totally unnatural.

Also, the story suddenly stopped when the bus was crossing a new building in order to explain the new building.

Please take care of non English languages guys!

I participated on May 11th with my grandparents, who are 78 and 75 years old. The plan was well-structured and easy on the legs, and I was very satisfied. Thank you.

The lunch bento you prepared was also very delicious.

One point for improvement would be that I wished the "convenience bucket" for the water buffalo cart on Taketomi Island had a lid. During the tour, the water buffalo relieved itself, and the smell from the bucket was overwhelming, making it difficult to enjoy the sightseeing.

I appreciate your consideration for improvement.

5月11日に参加しました。78歳、75歳の祖父母と参加したのですが、プラン内容も充実しており、足腰に負担もかからない内容で、たいへん満足出来ました。ありがとうございます。

ご用意頂いたお昼のお弁当も、とても美味しかったです。

1点、改善の要望としては、竹富島での水牛車据付けの「便用バケツ」は、フタをして欲しかったです。
ツアー中に水牛さんが、用を足したのですが、
それを入れたバケツからの匂いが強烈で、楽しく観光する事が出来ませんでした。

改善のご検討宜しくお願い致します。

The tour has a seating arrangement where participants sit in the order their names are called by the staff, but unfortunately, I was called last and ended up in the very back. I couldn't hear the guide's voice well, and it was not a sightseeing experience at all.

ツアーはスタッフに名前を呼ばれた順に前から座る形になりますが、運悪く1番最後に呼ばれ1番後ろの席になってしまいました。ガイドさんの声が聞こえずらく、全く観光になりませんでした。

Maybe a bit rush but covers many places. Good enough. Lunch is so so, better to buy your own at the lunch location. There are good food there. Friendly guide but as the tour stated, only speak in Japanese.

Our tour guide was fantastic, Friendly, and very informative. She gave us so much information about our surroundings, where we were going and Japan's history. I would definitely reccomend the Mt Fuji and Hakone tour to everyone it was a fantastic day out.

It's not that a tour guide is waiting at Ishigaki Port; instead, you check in at the tour desk and receive tickets for each facility. This is not a typical guided tour, so everyone boards the boat and bus individually. There are always staff members waiting in easily recognizable spots at each facility, so that's not a problem. Cycling on Taketomi Island requires some technique as the bike gets stuck in the sand, but overall, it was great to be able to get around efficiently!

I'll upload a photo of the lunch bento! It was quite tasty, but the portion was a bit small.

石垣港からツアーの方が待っているというのではなく自分でツアーデスクで受付をして各施設のチケットをもらうシステムです。一般的な添乗員？同行のツアーではないので各自で船に乗り込み、各自でバスに乗ります。いつも各施設で分かりやすい場所にお迎えの方がいるのでそこは問題ありません^_^竹富島のサイクリングは砂に自転車がとられてテクニックがいりますね笑全体通しては効率よく周れるのは良かったです！
写真にお昼のお弁当をアップします！なかなか美味しかったですが量は少なめかな。

Excellent tour. Youshi - san was a great tour leader, informative and amusing and spoke excellent English. We were very fortunate to have a clear day to see Mount Fuji and the views were brilliant all day. The lunch was also very good. We enjoyed the sky gondola, the black eggs and the cruise over lake Ashi. Every thing was very punctual and at no point did we feel rushed.We took the option of the bullet train back and Youshi helped us with navigating the station. In all a lovely tour which we thoroughly recommend.

We had a great day on this sightseeing tour. Both our guides were knowledgeable about Tokyo and gave good extra information about daily life etc. Good choiches of landmarks, well organized lunch with fine presentation of Japanese food. Bus was very clean and comfortable.
We can highly recommend this full day sightseeing in Tokyo.

The day before, the guide emphasized, "This is a really tough tour, are you sure you're okay with that?" I started to worry about whether we would be able to reach the goal while dozing off, and when it was time to wake up, I steeled myself and headed to the meeting point.
By "steeling myself," I mean I was determined not to give up. Of course, the goal was for the whole family to finish together.

Based on the guide's various experiences, our plan was to trek through Shiratani Unsuikyo first, then head to Jomon Sugi. If we did it the other way around, we would be exhausted from the Jomon Sugi trek and then have to climb a long, steep slope from the fork towards Shiratani Unsuikyo. That makes sense.

On the day of the trek, we were blessed with perfect weather, and thanks to our excellent guide, we were able to reach the goal. I realized that keeping pace with the guide was a crucial factor in being able to finish. If you're not confident in your trekking abilities, please make sure to stay behind the guide!

The scenery is something that words can't fully express. Please challenge yourself with determination; amazing nature awaits you! The muscle soreness from that day is also a memorable experience.

前日にガイドの方から、本当にしんどいツアーですが大丈夫ですか？と言うことを念押しされ、ゴールできるのだろうか？などすごく心配になりつつ、ウトウトしていたら起きる時間になり、覚悟を決めて集合場所へ向かいました。
覚悟とは、絶対にギブアップしないという覚悟です。もちろん家族全員でゴールする。ということです。

ガイドの方の色んな経験から私たちは、白谷雲水峡➡縄文杉、先に白谷雲水峡をトレッキングするプランでした。
縄文杉➡白谷雲水峡にすると、縄文杉トレッキングでクタクタになったうえに、白谷雲水峡への分かれ道から、長い長い坂道を登っていかないといけないからです。
なるほど～。

当日は最高のお天気に恵まれ、最高のガイドの先導のおかげで、ゴール出来ました。
ガイドの方の歩調についていくことが、ゴールできる大事な要因だと痛感しました。
トレッキングに自信のない方は、是非ガイドの方の後ろを確保してくださいね～

景色などは言葉で言い表しきれないものです。
覚悟を決めて挑戦してみてください、すばらしい自然が待っていますよ～
当日からの筋肉痛もたまにはいい思い出です。

My wife trained too hard for the trekking event, and during the actual hike, her knees started to hurt, making it difficult for her to move. We somehow made it to Jomon Sugi, but I was so focused on just getting back to the bus that I couldn't even take in the moment. Still, our guide took various commemorative photos, and I've been reflecting on those memories since we returned. It turned out to be a great memory.

妻がトレッキングに参加するために事前トレーニングをしすぎ、本番で両ひざが痛くなり動けなくなりそうでした。なんとか縄文杉前まで行きましたが感動する余裕もなくただひたすら帰りのバスにたどり着くことだけで頭がいっぱい！それでもガイドさんが記念の写真を色々とってくださり帰ってからじっくり思いだしています。良い思い出となりました。

On our long-awaited trip to Okinawa, it was my husband's first time, so we wanted to explore various places. Instead of renting a car, we decided to join a bus tour for more efficient travel. I thought it would depend on the guide, but ours was very friendly, and the tour went smoothly. They emphasized punctuality, and there were no latecomers, which allowed us to visit many different places and have a great time. The guide also interacted with my daughter, showing care for small children, which left a lasting impression. When we go to Okinawa again, I would love to try other courses as well! Thank you very much.

久しぶりの沖縄旅行で
主人は初めてだったので
いろいろ回りたくてもレンタカー借りるより効率よく回れそうだったので
初めてバスツアーに参加しました。
ガイドさんにもよると思いましたが
とても愛想の良い方でツアーもスムーズに
時間厳守！とのことも毎回伝えており
遅刻される方もいなく
いろんなとこを回れとても楽しかったです。
娘にも声をちょこちょこかけてくださり
小さい子にも気にかけてくれる姿も
印象にのこりました。
また沖縄に行くときは他のコースも
予約してみたくなりました！
ありがとうございました。

Yakushima's Jomon Sugi is a place I want to visit at least once in my life. Although I had always dreamed of it, I was filled with anxiety and worry about my lack of exercise and confidence in my physical strength, to the point that I felt a bit gloomy even though I had made the reservation myself (laughs).

On the day of the hike, we were blessed with good weather and set off with a party of mostly beginners! The guide who accompanied us was truly wonderful! With the right pace and captivating insights about Yakushima, despite walking for hours, I felt joyful and comfortable the entire time!

The anxiety I had about it being a tough challenge quickly vanished, and I was able to enjoy myself and stay energetic until the end. Seeing other guides and parties passing by made me realize that the experience of beginner trekking in Yakushima can vary greatly depending on the guide.

By the way, I rented shoes that are said to be important, and they checked and adjusted them the day before departure, so I was able to walk without any issues. The rental of the raincoat and backpack was also a huge help since I wasn't sure if I would continue hiking in the future! Someone else in our party seemed to have purchased everything for this trip, which must have been quite an expense.

I had the best trip, enjoying the long-awaited Jomon Sugi trekking in such an easy and fun way. Thank you very much!

It's strange, but I want to challenge myself to the Shiratani Unsuikyo trekking next to experience that sense of achievement again!

人生で一度は行ってみたい屋久島縄文杉。
憧れはあったものの、運動不足と体力に自信がないのとで前日まで不安と心配で、自分で予約したくせに少し憂鬱なくらいでした（笑）

当日は天気にも恵まれ、初心者ばかりのパーティで出発！
同行して頂いたガイドさんが本当に素敵な方で！適切なペース配分と魅力的な屋久島の案内、何時間も歩き続けているはずなのに終始楽しくて気持ちよくて！

苦しい修行になるだろうと不安だった気持ちは一気に吹き飛び、最後まで楽しく元気に過ごせました。
すれ違う別のガイドさんやパーティの様子を見て、初心者の屋久島トレッキングはガイドさんで全く異なる体験だと実感しました。

ちなみに重要だと言われる靴をレンタルしましたが出発の前日に確認と調節をして下さり問題なく歩けました。
レインコート、バックパックのレンタルも初心者でこれから登山をするか分からない中大変助かりました！
パーティが一緒だった別の方は、今回のために購入して揃えたようで結構な出費だったようです。
こんなに手軽に、楽しく念願の縄文杉トレッキングが味わえて最高な旅になりました。
ありがとうございました。

不思議なもので、またあの達成感味わいに次は白谷雲水峡トレッキングにチャレンジしたいと思っています！
