縄文杉日帰りトレッキングツアー　屋久島で唯一環境省のエコツーリズム研修を受講認定済み by 屋久島の輪

Participation in the Jomon Sugi Tour 縄文杉ツアー参加

Reviewed by: ららら

I went to Jomon Sugi for my first trekking experience. I signed up on a whim, but as the trip approached, I became anxious about whether I could walk properly. A 10-hour mountain trail for someone like me, who works in an office and commutes by car... could I really do it?

Moreover, the day before the tour, I lightly twisted my left ankle at Shiratani Unsuikyo. It hurt a bit when I bent it outward... I wondered how it would hold up. When I called the guide, I was told, "Just go as far as you can, and if it gets too difficult, you can wait there."

I stabilized my foot with a cold pack and trekking shoes, and at 4:30 AM, I was picked up by the guide. It took an hour and a half by car and bus to reach the trailhead. After some warm-up exercises, we started climbing around 6 AM.

First, we walked on a flat trolley path for about two hours. I thought it would be an easy warm-up while enjoying the scenery... but it was fast! Really fast! Wait, is this race walking? (Others seemed to walk quite calmly, so it might have just been a normal brisk pace.) Because of my ankle, I stayed right behind the guide, which meant that if I walked slowly, the other six tour members would also slow down. I struggled to keep up with the guide while feeling apologetic. I took breaks for my feet during the explanations about the cedars.

Once we reached the mountain trail, it was all uphill from there. The trail was mostly well-maintained and easy to walk on, with many wooden stairs. We took photos at various spots, including Wilson Cedar, the Great Cedar, and a fallen tree shaped like a tuna head. The spring water was delicious.

Seeing that I was really exhausted, the guide carried my bag for about 30 minutes. We had an early lunch at 11:30 AM (looking back, it was clearly a break to acknowledge my physical limits...) before heading to Jomon Sugi. The sense of accomplishment when we arrived was... incredible.

The return trip wasn't as difficult as I had feared. It started to rain, but fortunately, my left foot didn't hurt, and I seemed to be able to walk faster than on the way there.

It's quite a hard sport, so I had to push myself. The guide certainly didn't coddle us, but they provided various support, such as pacing and tips on how to walk on the mountain trail, ensuring we could safely reach and return from Jomon Sugi. They were also knowledgeable about Yakusugi, the spring water locations, and photo spots. Thanks to them, I made wonderful memories and was able to go and come back safely.

初めてのトレッキングで縄文杉にいきました。
いきおいで申し込みましたが、旅行が近づくにつれちゃんと歩けるのか不安でした。
事務職・車通勤の私に10時間の山道...！？
の、登れるのか...！？

しかも、ツアー前日に挑んだ白谷雲水狭で、左足を軽くくじいてしまいました。
外側に曲げるとちょっと痛い...どうかなぁ？と思いながらガイドさんに電話すると「行けるとこまで行って、無理ならそこで待機」ということに。

湿布とトレッキングシューズで足を固め、迎えた朝の４時半。
ガイドさんに迎えに来ていただいて登山口まで車とバスを乗り継ぎ1時間半。
準備体操して登り始めたのは６時すぎでした。

まずは平坦なトロッコ道約2時間。
平坦な道だし、景色を見つつ準備運動かなー...と思っていましたが...速い！速いよ！えっ、競歩？
(他の人は結構平然と歩いてたので多分普通のはや歩きだったのかも)
捻挫の件もありガイドさんの真後ろにつけていたため、私が歩くの遅いと当然他の６名のツアー客も遅くなるわけで、申し訳なさと戦いつつ必死にガイドさんについていきました。
ちょこちょこ挟まれる杉の説明の間に足を休めます。

山道にたどり着くとそこからはひたすら山道です。
山道は半分以上整備されてて、歩きやすい。
木造の階段が多かったです。
アップダウンを繰り返しつつウィルソン杉や大王杉、マグロの頭の形をした倒木など写真スポットで写真をとってもらいました。
あと湧水が美味しい。

途中あまりにバテていた私を見かねて、ガイドさんが鞄をかついでくださること３０分。
１１時半に少し早いお昼を頂き(今思えば明らかに私の体力の限界を悟った休憩...)、縄文杉へ。
たどり着いたときの達成感は...なんというか、すごかったです。

帰りは恐れていたほど大変では無かったです。
雨が降ってきましたが、幸い左足も痛むことなく、行きよりもはや歩きにも対応できていたような。

結構ハードなスポーツ？なので自分が頑張らないといけません。
ガイドさんは当然甘やかしてはくれませんが、無事に縄文杉まで行って帰れるようペース配分や山道の歩き方など、様々サポートしてくれます。
屋久杉や湧水の場所や写真スポットにもお詳しいです。
お陰さまでいい思い出にもなり、無事に行ってかえってくることができました。

縄文杉日帰りトレッキングツアー　屋久島で唯一環境省のエコツーリズム研修を受講認定済み by 屋久島の輪

I had a wonderful experience! 素晴らしい体験ができました！

Reviewed by: さくら

Since I was going to Yakushima, I wanted to hike to Jomon Sugi, but I had little hiking experience and wasn't confident about my stamina and pacing for such a long trek.

Additionally, I wanted to hear explanations about the highlights, nature, and photo spots, so I thought a guided tour would be reassuring and decided to sign up.

To avoid being sleep-deprived, I went to bed early the night before, woke up before 3 AM, and was picked up by the accommodation at 4 AM.

Our guide, Mr. Uranishi, explained the importance of returning to the trailhead in time to catch the bus without injury and advised us to allocate 60% of our energy for the ascent and 40% for the descent.

He mentioned he would be strict, which made me nervous at first, but I resolved to keep up and felt mentally prepared, which was a good thing.

There were five of us: my partner, two other women participants, and the guide. We began our ascent along the long 8-kilometer trolley path in the dark before dawn.

I’m not good with heights, so I was worried about crossing a few unguarded bridges, but they weren’t as high as I expected, and unlike suspension bridges, they didn’t sway, so I didn’t feel too scared.

The trolley path was long, making it a bit challenging, but it was relatively easy to walk since it was flat. I was careful not to trip over the railroad ties.

Along the way, we could see distant mountains like Aiko-dake beautifully. The guide pointed out various photo spots and highlights. The scenery of the primeval forest was so beautiful that I hardly got bored during the long trek. There were also two restrooms and water stations along the way, which was reassuring.

The mountain trail afterward was steep and long, making it quite tough. However, the guide pointed out slippery and difficult areas as we went, and we took breaks as needed, so it wasn’t as hard as I had anticipated.

When we finally reached the "Couple Cedar of Happiness," the "Heart Wilson Stump" for love fulfillment, and the majestic Jomon Sugi and Ooyama Sugi, the sense of achievement upon reaching the goal was as wonderful as the feeling after climbing Mount Fuji.

By the way, the area around Jomon Sugi is said to be a Pokémon hotspot. For Pokémon players, please be careful not to disturb others while catching the cute Pokémon.

The descent was very challenging, but I remembered the walking techniques I learned from our guide, Mr. Iwakishi, when we hiked Shiratani Unsuikyo the day before, which helped me walk carefully to avoid straining my knees, and I successfully reached the trolley path.

The scenery was already familiar, and the return journey on the trolley path was monotonous, making me feel quite tired, but encountering a cute Yakushima deer lifted my spirits.

I’m glad I requested a guide, as I wouldn’t have been able to climb it on my own. Thank you very much.

I had quite a bit of anxiety about my stamina before the trip, but I’m really glad I did the Jomon Sugi hike, which was full of emotional moments. I recommend it to those who haven’t experienced it yet.

If you have flexibility in your itinerary, I recommend enjoying the scenery of the primeval forest at Shiratani Unsuikyo or Yakusugi Land on a different day after hiking Jomon Sugi.

Going to Shiratani Unsuikyo after the Jomon Sugi hike might be tough because your legs and body will be tired, and you may not be able to fully enjoy the mystical views.

On the day after the Jomon Sugi hike, despite icing and using cold compresses, my legs were swollen like an elephant. I didn’t have much fatigue left, but I had some bruising and blisters on the soles of my feet, making it painful to walk.

If you go to Shiratani Unsuikyo, I recommend going all the way to Taiko Rock since it’s worth it. (Proper mountain gear is necessary.)

Fortunately, the weather held up on the day we went, allowing us to see a stunning panoramic view with blue skies, distant mountains like Miyano-ura-dake, and the primeval forest and mountains below.

せっかく屋久島に行くので、縄文杉登山をしたいと思いましたが、登山経験が少なく、長い行程における体力やペース配分などに自信がありませんでした。

また、見所や自然、写真スポットなどの説明を聞きたかったことから、ガイドツアーなら安心だと思い、申し込ませて頂きました。

寝不足にならないよう、前日は早めに寝て、朝３時前に起き、宿には朝４時に迎えに来てもらいました。

今回ガイドを担当してくれた浦西さんは、怪我無く無事に、バスに乗れる時間までに登山口に帰って来ることの重要性を説明してくださり、行きは６割、帰りは４割の体力と気力配分で行くようにアドバイスしてくれました。

自分は厳しくいくよ、と仰られたので、最初は緊張しましたが、しっかり付いていくよう頑張らなければと覚悟が決まり、心構えができたことはよかったと思います。

私とパートナー、参加者の女性二人、ガイドさんの５人で、夜明け前の暗い中、長い８キロのトロッコ道を登り始めました。

高所が苦手なので、数ヵ所ある手すりの無い橋が渡れるかどうか心配でしたが、想定より高さがなく、吊り橋と違って揺れないので、あまり怖くなかったです。

トロッコ道は長いので少し大変でしたが、平坦な道なので比較的歩きやすかったです。
線路の枕木に足を引っ掻けたりして転ばないよう、気を付けました。

道の途中では、愛子岳などの遠くの山が綺麗に見えました。写真スポットや見所をいろいろ教えていただけました。
原生林の景色が綺麗なので、長い道のりもほとんど飽きることがありませんでした。
また、途中２ヶ所ほどトイレや水場があって安心でした。

その後の山道は険しくて長いので、かなり大変でした。
しかし、滑りやすい場所や難しい場所をその都度教えてもらえましたし、適宜休憩を取ってもらえたので、予想していたよりは辛くありませんでした。

幸せの夫婦杉、恋愛成就のハートのウィルソン株、雄大な縄文杉や大王杉にたどり着いたとき、無事ゴールできたときの達成感は、富士登山の達成感と同様に素晴らしかったです。

なお、縄文杉付近はポケモンのホットスポットだそうです。
ポケモンプレイヤーの方たちは、他の方のご迷惑にならないよう気を付けながら、可愛いポケモンたちをゲットしてくださいね。

下りの登山道はとても大変でしたが、前日に白谷雲水峡に登ったときのガイドの岩城さんから、登山時(特に下り)に膝に負担をかけない歩き方を教わっていたので、思い出しながら、滑らないよう慎重に歩き、無事トロッコ道にたどり着くことができました。

すでに見た景色でもあり、帰りのトロッコ道は単調で、疲れも出てきて、けっこうしんどかったですが、可愛いヤクシカに出会えたときは、疲れが吹き飛びました。

個人では到底登れなかったので、ガイドをお願いして良かったです。
ありがとうございました。

体力に自信がなくて旅行前にかなり悩みましたが、やっぱり、多くの感動がある縄文杉登山をして良かったです。
まだ未体験の方には、オススメです。

もし、滞在日程に余裕があるのであれば、白谷雲水峡やヤクスギランドで原生林の景色をゆっくり楽しんだ後の日に、縄文杉登山をすることをおすすめします。

縄文杉登山の後に白谷雲水峡に行くのは、足や体が疲れて、せっかくの神秘的な絶景をゆっくり楽しめないかもしれません。

私は、縄文杉登山の翌日・翌翌日は、アイシングと冷湿布をして、湯船で入浴したにもかかわらず、足が象のようにパンパンにむくみました。
疲れはほとんど残りませんでしたが、足の裏に内出血や水ぶくれが少し出来て、歩くのが辛かったです。

もし白谷雲水峡に行くならば、せっかくなので太鼓岩まで行くことをオススメします。
(きちんとした山の装備が必要です。)

私たちが行った日は、幸いにも天気がもってくれたので、青空を背景に、遠くには宮之浦岳などの山々、眼下には原生林や山が望める大パノラマの絶景を見ることができました。

なお、体力に自信がない方は、白谷雲水峡経由の縄文杉１日登山は、ハードなので、あまりオススメできません。
白谷雲水峡から縄文杉に向けて登ってくる途中で、既にとても辛そうにしている方を数人見かけました。下りが心配になりました。
無理せずに二日に分けた方が、美しい景色をゆっくり堪能できると思います。

また、屋久島の一湊の海は、魚の種類が豊富で、数も多く、沖に出なくても竜宮城のような素晴らしい光景を見ることができるので、(体験)ダイビングやシュノーケリングもオススメです。

長文の感想をお読みいただき、ありがとうございました。
素晴らしい屋久島旅行になるよう願っております。

I visited Jomon Sugi! 縄文杉行って来ました！

Reviewed by: kei

I went on a Jomon Sugi trekking tour!!!
To sum it up, I was very satisfied as I was able to see Jomon Sugi and descend without any inconvenience.

If I had to mention something disappointing, it would be that there seemed to be a lack of communication between the office staff and the guide, as I was asked a few questions that were a bit unclear.
Also, since it was a tour, I couldn't express my desire to stay longer at Jomon Sugi or take my time taking photos at the couple's cedar; we had to quickly take pictures and move on. However, I think this was the same schedule for all tours, so it couldn't be helped.

Other than that, the pacing during the hike was well managed, and we had breaks at just the right times. The shuttle service to the accommodation was also a nice touch (*^^*).

When I climbed, there were three groups with a total of six people, and the guide made sure to check everyone's pace and expressions, so we all managed to descend without anyone feeling unwell.

The Jomon Sugi course was harder than I imagined and required both physical strength and mental stamina!
I recommend going to bed early the night before and preparing your belongings thoroughly.

縄文杉トレッキングツアーに行って来ました！！！
結論から行くと、なにも不自由なく縄文杉をみて下山することができて大満足でした。

残念だったところを挙げるとすれば、
事務担当の方とガイドさんの情報共有があまりとれていなかったのか、よく分からないことをいくつか聞かれたことくらいでしょうか。
あとは、ツアーという形上、ゆっくり縄文杉のところにいたい、夫婦杉でゆっくり写真を撮りたい、などわがままは言えずさくっと写真を撮っておしまいだったのは残念ではありましたが、どこのツアーも同じようなタイムスケジュールでしたので、仕方なかったと思っています。


それ以外は、登山の際のペーシングをしていただいたり、タイミングよく休憩も入れてください、宿までの送迎も付いていて至れり尽くせりでした(*^^*)

自分が登ったときは、３グループ、合計6名でしたが、
全員のペースや表情をしっかり確認してくださったので、全員が体調不良になることなく下山することが出来ました。

縄文杉コースは想像以上にハードで体力も気力も必要でした！！
その分前日は早めに寝て、持ち物も周到に準備していくことをオススメします。

【ベストプライス】西表・由布・竹富島 日帰りツアー　マングローブ遊覧＋水牛車＋選べる竹富島での過ごし方（レンタサイクル他）＜1日／昼食付＞

If it's your first time in the Yaeyama Islands, make sure to participate in this. 初めての八重山なら取り敢えずこれだけは参加しよう。

Reviewed by: えっこまま

You can efficiently enjoy island hopping.
At the Ishigaki Island ferry terminal, you can pick up tickets for boats and meals before departing on your own.
First, take a comfortable, spacious high-speed boat for 40 minutes, followed by a Nakama River cruise on Iriomote Island, and then visit Yubu Island with water buffalo, where you can enjoy a meal.
The meal was an Okinawan bento, and the atmosphere was enhanced by the song "Tears Soaked with Tears" at the water buffalo experience.

From Iriomote to Taketomi, it was over 30 minutes on a smaller boat, and it was hot.
After that, we took a glass-bottom boat, but it was disappointing due to the poor sea conditions after the typhoon.
We chose to take a bus on the island due to concerns about rain, but there was too little time for free exploration in Taketomi.
We only had about 15 minutes, which was unfortunate as we couldn't enjoy visiting the lovely souvenir shops or having tea.
My daughters, who chose the rental bicycle plan, were able to select their preferred ferry times (16:00, 17:00, 17:40) and enjoyed themselves until the last ferry. I was envious.
If you're confident in your physical stamina, I recommend this option.
By the way, the 16:00 ferry was the same comfortable high-speed boat as in the morning, while the 17:40 ferry was a smaller boat, but it had a cool cabin below.

離島めぐりを効率よく楽しめます。
石垣島の離島ターミナルで船や食事などの切符を受け取って各自で出発。
最初は新しくて広い快適な高速船で40分、西表島の仲間川クルーズ、水牛で由布島、食事。
食事は沖縄料理のお弁当で、水牛では涙そうそうの歌付きで雰囲気ありました。

西表から竹富までは小さめの船30分以上、暑かったです。
その後グラスボート、台風後のコンディションの悪い海なのが残念でした。
島内は雨を警戒してバスを選択しましたが、竹富自由散策の時間が少なすぎます。
15分くらいしかなく、素敵なお土産店巡りとかお茶とかの時間は取れず残念でした。
同行の娘たちはレンタサイクルプランでしたので、好きな船便（16時、17時、17時40）が選べて、最後の便まで楽しんでから戻りました。羨ましかったです。
体力に自信があるならこちらをお勧めします。
因みに16時は朝と同じ快適な高速船。17：40は小さな船でしたが下に涼しい船室があったそうです。

石垣島一周定期観光バス　川平湾や玉取崎展望台など島の名所をバスガイドの案内でひと巡り！眺めの良いレストランでランチ付き！＜空港途中降車可／石垣島＞

I thoroughly enjoyed my sightseeing in Ishigaki Island. 石垣島観光満喫でした

Reviewed by: かおりん

It was a tour that made effective use of the last morning of our trip. The guide provided a wealth of information about Ishigaki Island, both at the sightseeing spots and during the bus ride, sharing enjoyable stories that were truly great. I hardly had time to sleep! At the sightseeing locations, I was able to get some great photos, so thank you for that.

In the end, I was dropped off at the airport, which helped save on transportation costs. For those visiting Ishigaki Island for the first time, this tour is highly recommended as it covers all the main attractions. The hamburger for lunch was delicious, and the scenery was beautiful as well.

Both the guide and the driver were kind, making the experience really enjoyable. Not only did the guide share interesting stories, but the performance of the sanshin and singing also captured the essence of Ishigaki Island.

旅行最終日の午前中を有効に活用できるツアーでした。
観光場所でも、道中のバスの中でも、石垣島の情報を満遍なく、楽しいお話を交えてのガイドさんのお話、ほんとによかったです。寝る暇もなかったですよ。
観光どころでは、お写真を上手に撮っていただき、ありがとうございました。
最後には空港で降ろしてもらえたので、交通費の節約にもなりました。
石垣島に初めて行く人には、メインどころを満遍なく回れるツアーなのでほんとにオススメです。
ランチのハンバーグも美味しかったし、景色もよかったですよ。
ガイドのおじさんも、運転手さんも親切でほんとに楽しかったです。
ガイドのおじさんのお話だけでなく、三線の演奏と歌も石垣島の雰囲気満載でした。

縄文杉トレッキングツアー 登山口までの送迎込み　朝・昼用のお弁当オーダーや登山装備レンタルも可能　by 屋久島ツアーオペレーションズ

I was moved to meet the Jomon Sugi, which I have always admired! 憧れの縄文杉との対面に感動！

Reviewed by: あつし

This time, my spouse and I participated in this tour. According to the guidebook, there was a comment that "seeing Jomon Sugi requires a long hike, which is tough," and both my wife and I felt anxious about whether we could reach Jomon Sugi, which made us hesitate to join at first. However, my wife said, "If we're going to Yakushima, we definitely want to see Jomon Sugi," and we decided to take on the challenge.

To conclude, while the distance is indeed long, the ascent was not as difficult as we had imagined, and Jomon Sugi is absolutely worth seeing. I highly recommend this challenge to anyone who is unsure.

On this tour, we were able to take a dedicated bus from the hotel to the trailhead, which was a great help as we didn't have to wait for the bus after descending. There were about 30 people in total on the bus, but we were divided into four teams, each led by a guide, and our team had seven members. In the first half, we walked along the trolley path, and in the second half, we climbed a steep mountain path that included quite challenging stairs. Along the way, we were moved by the famous three giant cedars, Wilson stump, and the Great Cedar, as well as many unnamed giant stumps and moss-covered rocks, taking photos and listening to the guide's explanations, which made the journey to Jomon Sugi feel less painful. I believe this was also thanks to the guide's pacing and the timing of our breaks.

When we finally faced Jomon Sugi, I was overwhelmed by its size and presence, and the closer I got, the more I felt moved to witness it in person. On the way back, while I had to be careful not to trip on the mountain path, the trolley path felt monotonous and long, making me wish I could descend that part quickly by trolley.

As a bonus, we encountered Yakushima deer and Yakushima monkeys along the way, and for a moment, we experienced a sudden downpour like a rain shower. It truly was a day where we could fully experience Yakushima.

今回夫婦でこのツアーに参加しました。ガイドブックによると「縄文杉を見るには長距離の山登りで大変」とのコメントがあり、家内も含め縄文杉まで辿り着くことが出来るのか不安を覚え、当初参加を躊躇していました。しかし「屋久島まで行くならやはり縄文杉を見たい」との家内の一言でチャレンジすることに。結論からいうと、距離は確かに長いものの、上りは思っていたほどでもなく、縄文杉は絶対に一見の価値あり、迷っている人には是非挑戦をお勧めします。
このツアーではホテルから専用バスで登山口まで行くことが出来たのですが、これは下山後にバスを待つ必要もなく、思った以上に助かりました。バス全体では30数名でしたが、それを４チームに分け、それぞれガイドさん１名が引率する形で我々のチームは７名でした。前半はトロッコ道をひたすら歩き、後半はかなりきつい階段も含めた山道を登るのですが、その途中で次々に出てくる有名な三大杉、ウイルソン株、大王杉等は勿論、名もない巨大な切り株や、苔むした岩々等を見て感動し、夢中で写真を撮ったり、ガイドさんの説明を聞いている間に、それ程苦痛も感じず縄文杉にまで到達。これはガイドさんのメンバーをみたペース配分や、休憩のタイミングのお陰もあるかと思います。対面した縄文杉はその大きさといい、存在感といい、近づけば近づくほど圧倒され、目の当たりに出来たことに感動を覚えました。帰り道ですが、山道部分は転ばぬよう注意して一生懸命降りていけばいいのですが、トロッコ道部分は単調な為、ひたすら長く感じ、この部分だけはトロッコで一気に下りてしまいたいと思ってしまいました。
尚、おまけですが、途中屋久鹿や屋久猿とも出くわしたり、一瞬ですが通り雨のようなスコールが降ってきたりと、本当、屋久島を丸ごと体感出来た一日でした。

Mt. Fuji & Hakone Tour from Tokyo with Lake Ashi Cruise & Ropeway Ride

Definitely go to this tour when it is a clear sunny day!

Reviewed by: Stella C.

Definitely go to this tour when it is a nice sunny day! We went when it was foggy and cloudy so we did not see Mount Fuji at all. The lunch menu isnt that great as the tour brings you to one hotel restaurant. Average price per meal was at least 12,000 YEN. I would suggest to eat at the first pit stop restaurant that is attached to the convenient store. Me and my BF had a ramen bowl that was pretty good for only 500 YEN! We also ate at another restaurant at the Mount Fuji pit stop. That ramen bowl was pretty descent as well! About 700 YEN. Also when the tour is over, I would highly suggest riding the bullet train back since it only takes about 30-40 minutes to get back to Tokyo compared to the bus ride that takes about 2 and half hours. Overall, the tour was okay and I was disappointed that we did not see Mount Fuji and this tour lasted 8+ hours.

You can see various sights even without a rental car. レンタカーがなくてもいろいろ見られる

Reviewed by: けろ子

I traveled to Okinawa for the first time with a friend. Since it was right after the rainy season, I was surprised by how hot it was during our short walks! The Churaumi Aquarium and the dolphin show "Okinchan Theater" were cool and provided us with a very enjoyable time, especially since we both love marine life.

Since we were also traveling from our hotel in Onna Village to Naha, I think it was quite reasonable. The only downside is that we arrived in Naha a bit late, but I suppose that's just how it is. It's also great for those who are not comfortable driving a rental car on unfamiliar roads or for those who want to enjoy a drink while sightseeing.

沖縄が初めての友達と二人で乗車しました。今回は梅雨明けだったこともあり、ちょっとした徒歩での移動が想像以上に暑くてびっくりしました！
美ら海水族館やイルカショー「おきちゃん劇場」は涼しく、また生き物好きの私たちにはとても楽しい時間となりました。
恩納村のホテルから那覇への移動も兼ねてだったので、かなりリーズナブルだったと思います。
那覇に着くのがちょっと遅い時間になるのが玉に瑕ですが、それは仕方がないのかなと。
不慣れな道でレンタカーが不安という人や、観光中にお酒が飲みたい人にもいいですね。

I took advantage of the three-day weekend to finally visit Yakushima. Since I only had one day for trekking, I joined this tour that allowed us to visit both Taiko Rock and Jomon Sugi in one day! We were blessed with good weather, and from Taiko Rock, we even saw a rainbow. Plus, we got to see some deer! It was such a wonderful tour! I was a bit worried about my stamina, but thanks to the guide's various adjustments, I was able to keep smiling and push through until the end! If you're going to Yakushima, I highly recommend this tour!

3連休を利用して、念願だった屋久島に。トレッキングできる日が1日しかなかったので、1日で太鼓岩も縄文杉もまわれるこのツアーに参加しました！天候にも恵まれ、太鼓岩からはなんと虹が見れましたし、鹿ちゃんも出てきてくれたし、とっっても素敵なツアーでした！体力に自信がなくてちょっと心配でしたが、ガイドさんがいろいろ工夫してくれたお陰で、めげることなく最後まで笑顔で頑張れましたー！屋久島に行くならこのツアーがオススメです！！

I am very satisfied with the tour content, but... ツアー内容には大満足ですが・・・

Reviewed by: みこたんまま

I had a great experience on the tour organized by Rad Kanko last time, so I was looking forward to participating again with my daughter. While I was very satisfied with the content of the tour itself, both my daughter and I were surprised by the poor manners of some families with children, which diminished our enjoyment. If possible, I think it would be better to separate the seating for families with children and adults without children, either in the front or back, so that everyone can enjoy the trip without any unpleasant feelings. I had such an unpleasant experience that I'm now reconsidering using tour buses in the future, so I wanted to share my experience.

ラド観光さんの前回参加のツアーが良かったので今回も娘と楽しみに参加しました。ツアー自体の内容には大満足ですが、参加されているお子様連れの方々のマナーの悪さに母娘共々ビックリしてしまい楽しさが半減してしまいました。出来たら、お子様連れの方々と、そうでない大人の方々の座席を前方、後方等に分けて頂いた方がお互いに嫌な思いをせずに旅が楽しめたのでは無いかと思いました。これから観光バスを利用するのも考えてしまうくらい嫌な思いをしましたので、体験談として投稿させて頂きました。

縄文杉日帰りトレッキングツアー　屋久島で唯一環境省のエコツーリズム研修を受講認定済み by 屋久島の輪

☆My First Trekking☆ ☆初めてのトレッキング☆

Reviewed by: ☆kaori☆

This was my first time in Yakushima and my first trekking experience, so I was filled with anxiety and nervousness before the Jomon Sugi trekking tour. I had researched what to bring and the precautions to take, but since I usually don't exercise and hadn't built up my stamina before the actual day, I kept thinking, "Will I really be able to reach Jomon Sugi like this?" and "Maybe I'll just have to give up halfway."

On the morning of the tour, there was heavy rain, as if a bucket had been overturned, possibly due to the typhoon. While praying on the bus that the rain wouldn't cause a cancellation, we headed to the starting point of the trolley road.

At 6:30, after having breakfast, we set off on the 8-kilometer trolley road. The rain kept coming and going, and while the peak of the downpour had passed, my feet were soaked after just five minutes of walking.

Despite that, I somehow managed to walk the 8 kilometers of the trolley road, but the next 3 kilometers of mountain path were hell. My already tired legs couldn't climb over the rocks... and the goal still felt far away... I kept thinking, "This is impossible—I'm going back," feeling quite pathetic. However, the girls who were also on the tour shared snacks with me, my husband carried my bag, and thanks to our guide, Mr. Osawa, we had an early lunch break. With the kindness and consideration of those around me, I was able to start walking toward Jomon Sugi again.

Finally, after taking breaks, we reached the goal: Jomon Sugi! It was such a magnificent cedar that I was truly glad I didn't give up. I forgot my fatigue and snapped lots of photos!

Then it was time to descend. My legs were already swollen, but I had to keep moving to get back, so I walked mindlessly. As expected, I struggled with muscle pain for a few days afterward.

Even now, I find comfort in looking at photos of Jomon Sugi and the Wilson stump. I am grateful to Mr. Osawa, our guide, everyone who participated in the tour with me, and my husband for taking me to Jomon Sugi.

　初めての屋久島、初めてのトレッキングと何もかも初めての今回の縄文杉トレッキングツアーで出発前は不安と緊張でいっぱいでした。いちよう事前に持ち物や注意点等は調べていましたが、普段運動不足なうえに体力作りをせずに本番当日を迎えてしまったため「こんなんで本当に縄文杉まで辿り着けるんだろうか」「最悪途中で諦めるしかないかな」とネガティブなことばかり考えていました。
　そして当日の朝、台風の影響かバケツをひっくり返したような大雨…バスの中で「雨で中止になりませんように」と祈りながらトロッコ道の始点の登山口まで向かいました。
　6：30　朝ごはんを食べていざ8キロのトロッコ道へ。雨も降ったりやんだりを繰り返しながら本降りのピークは過ぎたけど、足元は5分くらい歩いただけでびしょ濡れ状態。
　それでも何とか普段歩かない私が8キロのトロッコ道を歩き切りました。が、ここから3キロの山道が地獄でした。すでに歩き疲れた足が岩場を上がれない…でもまだまだゴールは遠い…無理だ～帰る～と情けないことばかり考えていた私に一緒にツアーに参加していた女の子達がお菓子をくれたり、主人が私の荷物も背負ってくれたり、ガイドの大沢さんの計らいで早めのお昼を食べて休憩してくれたり、周りの人達の気遣いや優しさに触れながらまた縄文杉に向けて歩き出すことができました。
　そして、休憩を挟みながらもようやくゴールの縄文杉！本当に諦めなくてよかったと思えるくらい立派な杉がそこに佇んでいました。疲れも忘れしばし写真をパシャパシャ!!
　そして下山。足はすでにパンパンでしたが歩かないと帰れないので無心で足を動かしていました。案の定、数日は筋肉痛で歩くのも辛かったです。
　今でも縄文杉やウィルソン株の写真を見ては癒されています。私を縄文杉まで連れて行って下さったガイドの大沢さん、一緒にツアーに参加した方々、主人に感謝します。

縄文杉日帰りトレッキングツアー　屋久島で唯一環境省のエコツーリズム研修を受講認定済み by 屋久島の輪

Thank you! ありがとうございました☆

Reviewed by: 冨岡啓太

As a beginner in mountain walking, I was quite anxious about trekking to Jomon Sugi, which takes about 10 hours, especially since I don't usually exercise. However, there were many women participants, and the guide matched a perfect pace, allowing me to walk to Jomon Sugi comfortably and without strain. I rented hiking boots and rainwear for the hike, and the boots were great for walking without slipping on the mountain paths, so I was glad I rented them. It rained occasionally, but wearing the rain jacket kept me sufficiently dry. In fact, the rain made the moss sparkle in the sunlight filtering through the trees, and it helped cool down my body a bit, so I appreciated the rain.

When I finally reached Jomon Sugi, I felt a great sense of accomplishment and was very happy. Jomon Sugi is truly magnificent, and I’m glad I could create another memory. The bento I ate near Jomon Sugi and the miso soup made with hot water that the guide prepared were delicious. The guide was like a reassuring teacher. Thank you very much for the guidance.

私は山歩き初心者で、普段特に運動もしておらず、10時間かかる縄文杉のトレッキングをするのにかなり不安がありました。ですが、参加者は女性の方が多く、ガイドさんがちょうどいいペースを合わせてくれ、安心して無理なく縄文杉まで歩く事が出来ました。山歩きでは、登山靴とレインウェアをレンタルしましたが、登山靴は山道で滑らずに歩く事が出来、レンタルしていてよかったです。時々雨も降りましたが、レインウェアの上着を着て、十分大丈夫でした。むしろ苔が森の隙間から入ってくる太陽光に反射してキラキラしていたり、暑かった体が少しクールダウンされたりして、雨が少し降って良かったです。
縄文杉に辿り着けた時は達成感と感動でとても嬉しく感じました。縄文杉はとても素晴らしく、思い出が1つ増え、参加出来て良かったです。縄文杉の近くで食べたお弁当と、ガイドさんが沸かしてくださったお湯で作ってもらった味噌汁が美味しかったです。
ガイドさんは、安心感のある先生のような方でした。笑
案内してくださり、本当にありがとうございました。

【ベストプライス】竹富島日帰り観光ツアー　水牛車で楽しむ竹富島での過ごし方＜半日／指定ホテルお送り＞

Relaxing island time. のんびり島時間。

Reviewed by: こーせー

I participated with my girlfriend. Although the weather wasn't very good, it was a satisfying tour that provided a very valuable experience. Without a specific time limit, we enjoyed a water buffalo tour and a rental bicycle tour, spending about four hours on the island, relishing the leisurely water buffalo sightseeing and the freedom of exploring the island on bicycles. In the morning, there were many people, but as the evening approached, the crowds thinned out, so for those who want a more relaxed experience, I recommend going later in the day. Also, you should definitely visit the shallow beach; it will surely become a wonderful memory, so you should bring your swimsuit.

彼女と参加しました。
天候があまり良くない日でしたが、とても貴重な体験が出来て満足なツアーでした。
滞在時間を特に決めずに私達は水牛観光＋レンタサイクルのツアーを体験し、のんびりとした時間の水牛観光と島内を自由に回れるレンタルサイクルを満喫したので、4時間程島に滞在しました。
午前中は人が多く夕方になるにつれて人が減ってきていたのでよりのんびりしたい人は遅めの時間がオススメです。
また遠浅の浜のビーチは是非いった方が良いです。
きっととても良い思い出になるので水着は持って行くべきです。

縄文杉トレッキングツアー 登山口までの送迎込み　朝・昼用のお弁当オーダーや登山装備レンタルも可能　by 屋久島ツアーオペレーションズ

I was moved by Jomon Sugi! 縄文杉に感動！

Reviewed by: かるぱ

I was picked up at the hotel around 5 AM and we started the hike around 6 AM! For the first two hours, we walked along the trolley path. Walking in the green forest while basking in the morning sun felt wonderful. We took two bathroom breaks along the way. They even prepared a sheet for us to sit on so our clothes wouldn't get dirty.

After about two hours, the trolley path ended, and we entered the mountain trail. From here, the path became steep. We arrived at Wilson's stump around 10 AM! It was a popular spot, so there were many people. We were shown an angle that looks like a beautiful heart and took some photos.

After walking for about an hour, it was time for lunch. Our guide made us warm miso soup! After that, we passed by the Great Cedar and the Couple Cedar and arrived at Jomon Cedar around noon. I was simply amazed by its majestic appearance! The guide took many commemorative photos for us, and then we began our descent. Having trekking poles might make the descent easier. Since we were able to descend a bit early, we went down to the river. After dipping our feet in the cold water to recover from fatigue, we walked back along the trolley path and arrived at the trailhead around 5 PM.

It was about a 12-hour schedule, but I was completely satisfied with the tour, feeling the negative ions of the forest and the power of Jomon Cedar! The guide was very knowledgeable and showed us great angles for taking beautiful photos, which was wonderful! Thank you very much!

朝５時頃にホテルでピックアップしてもらい、６時頃に登山開始！
始めの二時間ほどはトロッコ道をひたすら歩きます。周り一面緑の森の中、朝日を浴びながら歩くととても気持ちよかったです。途中２回ほどトイレ休憩をしました。地面に座っても服が汚れないように、シートまで用意してくれていました。
二時間ほどでトロッコ道が終わり、山道に入ります。ここから一気に道が険しくなります。
10時頃ウィルソン株に到着！人気のスポットなので人が多かったです。きれいなハートに見えるアングルを教えてもらい、写真撮影をしました。
そして、一時間ほど歩いて昼食の時間。ガイドさんが温かい味噌汁を作ってくれました！
その後、大王杉・夫婦杉を通って12時時頃に縄文杉到着。その雄大な姿にただただ感動しました！ガイドさんに記念写真をたくさん撮ってもらい、下山。下山には、ストックがあると楽かもしれません。少し早く下山できたので、川に降りました。冷たい川に足をつけて疲労回復した後、またトロッコ道を歩いて17時頃登山口に到着。
約12時間ほどの日程でしたが、森のマイナスイオンと縄文杉のパワーをもらい、大満足のツアーでした！ガイドさんも知識豊富で、写真がきれいに撮れるアングルなども教えてもらい、とてもよかったです！ありがとうございました！

白谷雲水峡1日（太鼓岩まで）トレッキングツアー 登山グッズレンタルセットプランあり 昼食用のお弁当事前申込可能 by 屋久島ツアーオペレーションズ

I was moved by the Forest of the Spirits! もののけの森に感動！

Reviewed by: かるぱ

In the morning, I was picked up at the hotel around 8 AM and after about an hour's drive, we arrived at the entrance of the Kumotsukyo Gorge. When I told the guide that I had gone on the Jomon Sugi tour the day before, they adjusted the walking pace to be a bit slower for me.

On the way to the moss-covered forest, there were many places with abundant moss. Since it had rained overnight, the moss in the forest was nicely damp. The course to the moss-covered forest was not as strenuous as I had expected, and even children around kindergarten age were able to climb it. Along the way, we encountered a little deer! After about two hours, we arrived at the moss-covered forest. As far as the eye could see, there was a green forest! It truly felt like the world of Princess Mononoke, and I was moved!

We had lunch a little further at Tsuji Pass. The guide made warm miso soup, which was a comforting break. The path from the moss-covered forest to Taiko Rock had steep inclines and rocky areas, making it quite challenging. However, the view from Taiko Rock was beyond my imagination, and I was really glad I walked the tough path! If you have the time, I definitely recommend going all the way to Taiko Rock!

朝は８時頃にホテルでピックアップしてもらい、車に一時間ほど揺られて雲水峡の入り口に到着。前日に縄文杉のツアーに行ったことをガイドさんに伝えると、歩くペースも少しゆっくりに合わせて下さいました。
苔むす森に行く道中にも、たくさん苔の生えている場所があります。夜中に雨が降ったので、森の苔もいい感じに湿っていました。苔むす森までのコースは思ったよりもしんどくなく、幼稚園ぐらいの年の子でも登っていました。途中で小鹿ちゃんに遭遇！そして、約二時間ほどで苔むす森に到着しました。見渡す限り緑の森！本当にもののけ姫の世界が広がっていて感動でした！
そこから少し先の辻峠で昼食。ガイドさんが暖かい味噌汁を作ってくださって、ほっと一息。
苔むす森から太鼓岩までの道は、急な上り坂や岩場があって結構きつかったです。
でも、太鼓岩からの景色は想像以上で、険しい道のりを歩いて本当によかったと思いました！
もし、時間に余裕があるのなら、ぜひ太鼓岩まで行かれることをオススメします！

縄文杉半日＋白谷雲水峡半日（太鼓岩まで） 2大トレッキングコースを日帰りで！ by 屋久島の輪

It exceeded my expectations! 期待以上でした！

Reviewed by: ヒメむらなか

I could only take a 2-night, 3-day trip, but I really wanted to see Shiratani Unsuikyo and Jomon Sugi, so I was struggling with my options when I found this tour. It said, "Please apply if you are confident in your physical fitness," but I decided without hesitation that it would be fine since I'm a fitness instructor and my boyfriend loves working out at the gym (laughs).

The guide was surprisingly young and talked to us casually like a friendly older brother, making the journey fly by. We were blessed with good weather, and the view from Taiko Rock was perfect. We even finished ahead of schedule and got to play in the river, plus we had the surprise of encountering a Kodama in the mossy forest (laughs). The guide also shared detailed information about beautiful photo spots and the ecology of the plants, and he took many natural photos of us without us even noticing the cameras. We felt like we received such great service that we almost had to pay an additional service fee. Thank you so much!

At first, my boyfriend was grumbling about the price being high, but by the end, he was completely satisfied and in a great mood. He keeps looking back at the photos the guide took and has already changed his LINE icon and Facebook background (o^^o). Our favorite photo taken in the mossy forest has become the background for both of our LINE profiles♪

Even after we reached the goal, the guide took us to a supermarket and recommended some shops, providing excellent service until the very end. We visited both places he recommended! The shrimp tempura and hamburgers were truly delicious!

Since it was a type of exercise I don't usually do, I was definitely sore the next day, but it settled down by the second day, and I was able to teach my lessons normally.

If it weren't for the guide, I wouldn't have had such a memorable day. Thank you so much for providing such a wonderful experience!

どうしても2泊3日しか休みが取れなくて、でも白谷雲水峡も縄文杉も見たくて、うんうん悩んでいた時にこのツアーを見つけました。
「体力に自信のある方お申し込みください」とありましたが、フィットネスインストラクターの私と、ジム通いの筋トレ好きな彼となら大丈夫だろうと迷わず決めました（笑）

ガイドさんが思いの外若くて、親戚のお兄さんのように気さくにいろいろ話してくださり、道中あっという間でした。
お天気に恵まれ太鼓岩の景色は100点満点だし、予定より早くゴールしたら川遊びまでできたし、苔むす森ではコダマに遭遇というサプライズまで（笑）
写真が綺麗なポイントや植物の生態なども詳しく教えていただき、さらに2人のカメラを意識していない自然な姿もたくさん撮っていただいて、サービス料別途払わなきゃいけないくらい良くしてもらいました。本当にありがとうございました。

最初は、値段高くない？とボヤいていた彼も終わった後は大満足で、ずっとご機嫌でした。
ガイドさんが撮ってくれた写真を何度も見返して、さっそくラインのアイコンを変えたりフェイスブックの背景を変えたりしています(o^^o)
苔むす森を背景に撮っていただいた2人の写真が特にお気に入りで、今は2人のラインの背景になってます♪

ゴールした後までスーパー寄ってくれたりオススメのお店教えてくれたり、最後まで至れり尽くせりでした。
教えてもらったお店、どちらも行きました！エビフライもハンバーグも、本当に美味しかったです！

普段やらない運動なので次の日はさすがに筋肉痛でしたが、2日後には落ち着き、普通にレッスンできました。

ガイドさんがいなかったら、こんなに思い出いっぱいの1日にはならなかったです。
こんなに素敵な1日を提供していただき、本当にありがとうございました。

I was unsure whether to visit Jomon Sugi and Shiratani Unsuikyo separately, as many people do, but I decided to do both in one day to reduce the load of my hiking gear and save on rental costs. The return trip on the trolley path felt longer than I imagined, but the guide adjusted the pace and breaks, so I was able to return safely. I received a lot of green energy and had a great time!

縄文杉と白谷雲水峡、分けて行く人も多いとのことで迷いましたが、1日で行くと登山グッズの荷物が減り、レンタル費用節約になるかと思い詰め込みました。想像以上に帰りのトロッコ道が長く感じましたがガイドさんがペースや休憩の調整してくださったので無事に帰って来れました。緑のパワーをたくさんもらえて楽しかったです！

I visited Lake Shikotsu for the first time, and almost everyone boarded the glass boat. It seems there aren't many other attractions, so if you don't participate, free exploration might be tough. The lunch at Lake Toya was better than I expected, with a good variety of dishes. After that, we toured Mount Usu. There was one more twist on the way back! I think it would be nice to have more sightseeing options.

支笏湖に最初に行きましたが、
ほぼ全員がグラスボートに乗船しました。
他には見どころがないようで、
参加しないと自由散策はきついかも。
洞爺湖での昼食は思ったより、
品数が多く良かったです。
そのあと有珠山観光しました。
帰路でもうひとひねり！
観光があればよいと思います。

縄文杉トレッキングツアー 登山口までの送迎込み　朝・昼用のお弁当オーダーや登山装備レンタルも可能　by 屋久島ツアーオペレーションズ

I thoroughly enjoyed Yakushima! 屋久島満喫できました！

Reviewed by: hrk

This time, I participated with my girlfriend. It was almost my first experience with mountain climbing, so I was a bit anxious. At first, I thought the group of eight people was a bit large, but we were able to change the order of the line and had enough time to talk with the guide individually. The 11-hour duration didn't feel long at all; we were able to see various types of cedar trees along the way to Yakusugi and enjoyed walking. It rained a little during the hike, but when the rain stopped, the moss around us sparkled beautifully with water droplets, which was amazing. Since Yakushima is known for its frequent rain, I was worried about rain during the hike, but I was able to enjoy it nonetheless. The guide was very approachable, and I was able to take many photos and learn a lot about Yakushima beyond just the tour, which made me very satisfied. Since Yakushima is not a place I can visit often, I don't know when I will go again, but if I have the chance to visit Yakushima again, I hope to join this trekking tour and discover different charms of Yakushima.

今回、彼女と2人で参加させていただきました。登山自体ほとんど初めての経験で少し不安もありました。ツアーのグループは8人で少し多いかなと最初は思いましたが途中列の並び方を変えたりしっかりとガイドさんと話せる時間が1組1組あったかなと思います。11時間という長時間を感じさせないほど、屋久杉までの道中も色々な杉などを見ることができ、楽しみながら歩くことができました。途中少し雨が降ってきましたが、雨が上がるとそこら中にある苔が水滴で綺麗に光っていて凄く良かったです。屋久島は凄く雨が降りやすい地域とだけあって、登山中の雨を心配していたのですが、それさえも楽しむことができました。ガイドさんとの距離も近くたくさんの写真を撮っていただいたりツアー以外の屋久島のことまでたくさんのことを教えていただき大満足でした。屋久島自体なかなか行けるところではないので次いつ行けるか分からないですが、もしまた屋久島に行くことがあればこのトレッキングツアーに参加して、今回とはまた違う屋久島の魅力を見つけられたらいいなと思っています。

縄文杉トレッキングツアー 登山口までの送迎込み　朝・昼用のお弁当オーダーや登山装備レンタルも可能　by 屋久島ツアーオペレーションズ

A thrilling tour for just the two of us! A mom who wants to walk and a son who doesn't want to walk, but in the end, both of us are surrounded by Yakusugi! 息子と二人のどきどきツアー！歩きたいママと歩きたくない息子、最後は二人とも屋久杉に包まれる！！

Reviewed by: 人生に何か忘れ物をしたくない40後半ママ

I went on a trip! Just the two of us, traveling with my 10-year-old son. Unfortunately, Dad couldn't join us this summer because he couldn't take time off, and my son dislikes walking with a mom who only talks. This is my son's exciting tour diary.

The tour started at 4:30 AM in front of the hotel. I was worried whether my son would wake up, but he woke up perfectly, perhaps because he was so excited. As the sky began to brighten, we arrived at the Arakawa trailhead with the sound of the bus stopping. I was feeling excited, while my son was full of anxiety. Here, we met our guide, who was from Yakushima and had a very reliable and kind smile. My son’s anxiety slowly started to ease with that smile... well, it didn’t completely go away.

After some warm-up exercises and taking photos, we set off! The first part was a long, long trolley train path. The green-filled trolley path seemed to stretch on forever. The scenery and bridges that appeared along the way provided nice breaks. I focused on thinking about fun things as we walked. After a long walk, we took a short break at the Kosugidani settlement, where we munched on some snacks we brought. The guide mentioned that he had come here on a school trip when he was a child! It’s not that long ago, but you can really feel the passage of time.

We resumed walking, and the guide discovered wild strawberry leaves along the way, saying, "Actually, monkeys eat them!" Just then, my son pointed and exclaimed, "Oh, over there!" He spotted red berries that no one else had noticed. The guide quickly rewarded him with a caramel for his discovery—what a great way to encourage him! This seemed to be the moment my son started to come alive.

As we continued, our eyes became attuned to the forest, and we began to make various discoveries. We became sensitive to the smells in the air. Ah, we are walking in nature! It felt like a soft green veil was gently wrapping around us. However, the distance we had to walk was just as long as I had imagined.

Just when I thought I couldn't go on anymore, we reached the entrance to the Okubo trail. The cold, delicious spring water there was amazing! We took a short break, used the restroom, and finally entered the Okubo trail! At this point, excitement outweighed fatigue!

However, we couldn't let our guard down from here. As someone in my late 40s who doesn’t usually exercise, I was starting to feel it in my legs. Plus, the mountain path was slippery, so I had to be careful! Sensing my struggle, my son... no, a deer came to check on me, saying, "It's okay. Take it slow. You got this." The roots of the trees deeply embedded in the forest gently held my feet to prevent me from falling.

Before long, we arrived at Wilson's stump. I was really tired by this point, so it was a perfect spot to rest. I left it to the guide and got a lovely heart mark. By the way, many people have made discoveries here, but for some reason, there are a lot of heart marks in Yakushima. There are hearts on fallen tree stumps and even near stones on the ground. It's just too cute!

With determination, we climbed over one more mountain from Wilson's stump! The steep incline was tough, and just when I felt like I might fall again, it was time for lunch. The miso soup given by the guide warmed my body. After resting enough, we resumed walking!! And finally, we encountered Jomon Sugi! Words can't express how overwhelming it was, but I felt a warmth filled with compassion that I had never experienced before. Jomon Sugi has been watching over us for thousands of years, silently protecting us. I was so happy to take a photo with my son here.

Oh, and I heard that next year the viewpoint will change, so this year’s scenery will be different from next year’s. We were able to take our time at Jomon Sugi and truly enjoy this wonderful encounter. My son seemed to be smiling too. Just seeing that expression made me feel satisfied. At the beginning of our walk, he was mumbling, but from the middle

行ってきました！10歳の息子との2人旅。今夏、パパはどうしても休めないということで残念ながら不参加、口だけママと歩くの嫌い～息子のどきどきツアー記です。
ツアー出発はホテル前を朝4時30分。息子が起きてくれるか不安な朝を迎えましたが気持ちが高ぶっているのかばっちり起きてくれました。
空が白み始め、バスの止まる音とともに荒川登山口に到着、高まる気持ちのママ、不安だらけの息子。ここで今日一日お世話になるガイドさんと顔合わせです。ガイドの方は屋久島出身の方でとても頼りになる笑顔の優しい方でした。その笑顔に息子も不安がちょっとずつ・・・うーん、なかなかほぐれません。
準備運動をして写真をとっていざ出陣！。最初は長い長いトロッコ列車道。
緑たっぷりのトロッコ道、歩みを進めても進めてもどこまでも続きます。途中途中で出現する風景や橋が、気持ち休めにいい味を出してくれます。ここは、もーひたすら楽しいことを考えて歩みを進めました。ひたすら歩いてたどり着いた小杉谷集落で小休止。そこで持参のお菓子をポリポリ。ガイドさんが子供の頃は、ここに修学旅行にいらしたのですって！それほど前ではないのに、時の流れを感じますね。
歩き再開、ガイドさんが途中で野イチゴの葉っぱを発見、「実は猿に食べられちゃうんですよ～」といったそばから、息子が「あっ、あそこに！」と指さした先に赤い実が。誰も見つけられなった発見にすかさずご褒美のキャラメルを差し出すガイドさん、乗せ上手！ここからかな～息子がイキイキし始めたのは。
さらに歩みを進めると、目が森になれ、色々な発見ができるようになります。空気のにおいにも敏感になってきます。ああ、大自然の中を歩いている！やわらかい緑のベールが私たちを優しく包んでくれる気持ちがします。しかし、歩く距離は想像通りに長い。
もーだめ～と思ったころに大株歩道入り口が。そこの湧水の冷たくておいしいことと言ったら！！しばし小休止、トイレを済ませ、いよいよ、大株歩道入り口に突入！ここまでくると、疲れよりワクワク感が！
ただし、ここから気を抜いてはいけません。40代後半で、ふだん何も運動していない私はそろそろ足に影響が出始めています。さらに山道は滑りやすいので要注意！そんな私を察してか、息子が・・・いやいやシカが様子を見に来てくれました「大丈夫だよ。ゆっくりで。しっかりね」と。森に深く張った木々の根っこたちも転ばないようにそっと足をホールドしてくれます。
ほどなくウィルソン株に到着。あー疲れたと思った辺りだったので本当にいいところに存在してくれています。ここはガイドさんにお任せして素敵なハートマークをゲット。そうそう、みなさんも沢山発見なさってますが、なぜかハートマークが多い屋久島です。切り株の倒れたとろこにも着地の足元付近にある石にもなぜかハート。かわいらしさがたまりません！
ウィルソン株から根性を出してもうひとやま越えます！急こう配、きつい、またまた倒れそうになってくるタイミングで昼食、ガイドさんにいただいたお味噌汁が体にしみわたります。体を十分に休めてから、歩き再開！！で、で、でついに、縄文杉のお出ましです！言葉にすると紙面からあふれてしまいますが、触れたことのない慈愛にあふれた暖かさを感じました。縄文杉は何千年も私たちを見つめ、あえて語らず守ってくれています。ここで息子と撮った写真、うれしかったなぁ。
そうそう、来年は見晴らし台の位置がかわってしまうとのこと、今年は今年の風景を来年はまた新しい風景で楽しめそうです。縄文杉の場ではゆっくりと時間もとれ、十分にこの熱い出会いを楽しませていただきました。息子もなんだか笑顔です。この表情だけで満足ってわかる。歩き始めの頃はごにょごにょいっていたのに本当に途中から文句ひとつ言わなくなったのもの。屋久島、縄文杉、ありがとうございます!
縄文杉としばし語らい、きちんとお礼の挨拶をして、いざ下山です。早く降りることが出来たならば、川で足を冷やす時間がとれる！との声掛けに、息子の歩く足の速いことといったらありません。下山中、彼はずっとガイドさんのそばでした。ふー。完全に体力負けです。
目的の沢につき、足場を探したら・・・うぉー水が冷たいー！生き返る―！パパ、無事で戻ってきましたよー。
不安だらけでスタートしたツアーでしたが、ガイドさんや一緒のパーティになった方の優しさ、励ましの声に触れ、疲れながらも最後まで歩くことができました。屋久島の優しさ、厳しさ、空気、香り、感触は行ってみないとわからないものだと心底感じました。息子の強さも知ることができ、本当に素敵な1日を過ごすことができました。
どきどきしながらこのツアーに参加させていただいたこと、本当に正解でした。ありがとうございました。

縄文杉日帰りトレッキングツアー　屋久島で唯一環境省のエコツーリズム研修を受講認定済み by 屋久島の輪

My first experience in Yakushima! 屋久島初体験！

Reviewed by: Nana,Natsuki

We were beginners with no climbing experience, so we were filled with anxiety about potentially holding the group back. However, thanks to our guide, Tsugimura, who kept us entertained with fun stories, we were able to relax and aim for Jomon Sugi in a friendly atmosphere without feeling pressured. Fortunately, we were blessed with good weather; it was unusually clear and cool for a summer day in Yakushima.

Since Tsugimura is from Yakushima, we were able to hear many valuable stories unique to the locals. He helped us manage our pace, and we arrived at Jomon Sugi as planned. The lunch we had after seeing Jomon Sugi was exceptional. Surprisingly, it was a bit chilly near the summit in the summer, and the miso soup that Tsugimura prepared warmed our tired bodies.

One of the things I was glad about in this tour was that he clearly knew all the great photo spots, allowing us to take many wonderful pictures. Since we left at 4 AM, I honestly felt like I might break down from sleepiness and fatigue on the way back, but thanks to some innovative games and quizzes that kept us laughing, we managed to descend safely without losing our spirits.

The beer we had after returning to the lodge was something I had never tasted before; it was exceptional! If I have the chance to visit Yakushima again, I would love to ask Tsugimura for his guidance once more! Thank you for a precious experience that will remain a lifelong memory! *\(^o^)/*

私達は登山経験がなく、初心者だったのでグループの足を引っ張ってしまうのではないか等、不安だらけのスタートでした。しかし、ガイドの津曲さんが終始楽しいお話をしてくれたおかげで、プレッシャーも感じずリラックスし、和やかな雰囲気で縄文杉を目指すことができました。幸い、お天気には恵まれ、真夏の屋久島には珍しく快晴且つ涼しく快適でした。
津曲さんは屋久島のご出身ということで、島民ならではの貴重なお話を沢山聞けました。道中もペース配分をして下さり予定通り縄文杉へと到着しました。縄文杉を見てからのお弁当はまた格別でした。意外にも真夏の山頂付近は肌寒く、津曲さんが用意して下さったお味噌汁が疲れた身体を温めてくれました。
今回このツアーに申し込んでよかったと思った事の一つが、数ある写真スポットを明確に把握しているのでとても素敵な写真が何枚も撮れました。朝4時出発でしたので、帰り道は正直、眠気と疲労で心が折れそうでしたが、とにかく眠気を取り払ってくれるような斬新なゲームやクイズで最後まで、笑いが絶えず、気が緩むことなく無事に下山する事ができました。
宿に戻ってからのビールは、今までに味わったことのない、格別なものでした♪
次回、屋久島へまた行く機会があったら、また津曲さんにお願いしたいです！一生の思い出に残る貴重な体験をありがとうございました*\(^o^)/*

美ら海水族館観光バスツアー 人気のアメリカンビレッジコースとパイナップルパークコースから選べる！人気の観光地を巡る満喫ツアー＜那覇・北谷発／2歳以下無料＞

Beautiful sea 美しい海

Reviewed by: めんそーれ

I searched for a tour that includes the Kouri Bridge, Bise Fukugi Tree Road, and Churaumi Aquarium, and I booked this tour. I wanted to see Bise's Warumi, but the stay at Bise Fukugi Tree Road was only 40 minutes, so I could only catch a glimpse, which was disappointing.

古宇利大橋、備瀬のフクギ並木、美ら海水族館を回れるツアーを探して、こちらのツアーを予約しました。備瀬のワルミを見たかったが、備瀬のフクギ並木の滞在時間が40分と短く一瞬しか見れず、残念だった。

This was my first trip to Okinawa! I considered renting a car, but since I wanted to visit not only the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium but also a few other places, I signed up for a tour because it was convenient and not expensive.

We participated as a family of four (with children in 3rd and 5th grade), and everyone was thrilled with the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium, as well as Ryukyu Mura and Pineapple Park.

At Ryukyu Mura, we had an early lunch, and the soba was delicious. The butterfly garden inside was also interesting. The Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium has a relatively long visiting time, so we were satisfied not only with the aquarium but also with watching the dolphin show at the Ocean Expo Park's Okichan Theater and dipping our feet in the ocean.

Although it took time to pick up other tour participants from several hotels on the way to our destination, it wasn't too bothersome since we enjoyed the scenery outside. I think it's a day full of enjoyment.

Kyoto Private Taxi Tour with Customizable Itinerary & English-Speaking Guide

Awesome Tour de Kyoto!

Reviewed by: Lish

This tour was completely worth every penny! We got to see three major sights with the ease of door to door service. Not only was our driver, Fuji-san awesome, but he also gave great tours and we learned so much more than we would have if we walked around ourselves. I would recommend this plan to anyone especially in the heat of the summer and when you have a lot to see in a short amount of time.

縄文杉半日＋白谷雲水峡半日（太鼓岩まで） 2大トレッキングコースを日帰りで！ by 屋久島の輪

I've started to like mountain climbing a little! :D 登山が少し好きになりました:D

Reviewed by: 神戸2人組

I signed up for this tour because I wanted to visit Jomon Sugi, Shiratani Unsuikyo, and Taiko Rock within a limited number of days. I regularly hike, so I had no physical issues climbing. Usually, I hike out of obligation, but thanks to this tour, I discovered the joy of learning about the names and characteristics of trees and moss, which made me look forward to my next hike a little more. Also, when the guide said, "We'll arrive in about XX minutes!" they always arrived on time, so I was impressed by their accuracy and speed management. Additionally, the fun trivia shared while waiting for the people in front or during breaks on tough climbs made me realize how much they truly love Yakushima. Next time I go, I want to challenge myself at a slightly higher level :D I also want to visit the recommended shops I learned about this time.

日数が限られている中、縄文杉、白谷雲水峡、太鼓岩のすべてを行きたくて、このツアーを申し込みました。日頃から登山はしており、体力的には問題なく登れました。いつもは、義務感で登っていた山でしたが、このツアーのおかげで、木や苔の名前や特徴を発見する楽しみを知ることができて、次の登山が少し楽しみになりました。また、ガイドさんが「あと◯◯分で着くよ！」と教えてくれたら、いつも時間通りに着くので、その正確さとスピード調節はすごいなと思いました。また、前の人やすれ違う人を待っている時、しんどいところを登りひと休憩取る時に教えてくれた豆知識も楽しかったです。ほんとに屋久島が好きなんだなと思いました。今度行く時はもう少しレベルアップしたところにも挑戦してみたいです:Dその際は今回教えていただいたオススメのお店にも足を運びたいです。
