美ら海水族館観光バスツアー 古宇利島＋御菓子御殿＋ナゴパイナップルパーク＋万座毛をめぐる1日観光！ディナー付プランあり＜那覇市・北谷・恩納村発／3歳以下無料＞

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。

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。

伏見稲荷大社＋清水寺＋金閣寺＋嵐山 1日ツアー 定番観光地を1日で巡る！ 昼食付きプランあり＜京都駅発／英語・日本語＞by 神姫観光 LIMON

Kyoto Tour 京都ツアー

Reviewed by: 佐々木翼

We recently participated in a tour that included Fushimi Inari Taisha, Kiyomizu-dera, and Kinkaku-ji. The weather was great that day, perfect for sightseeing. First, at the meeting point, we received two papers from a Japanese bus guide: one with the tour schedule and another detailing the route for Fushimi Inari Taisha. Once we got on the bus, the guide explained about Fushimi Inari Taisha in Japanese and then repeated the same explanation in English. I was surprised to look around and see that out of nearly 20 tourists, only three groups (eight people) were Japanese, including myself. The majority were foreign tourists. After arriving at the entrance of Fushimi Inari Taisha, we had about an hour of free time to explore on our own. After seeing the thousands of torii gates, we enjoyed grilled skewers of baby octopus, scallops, and red shellfish from the many stalls lined up! They were delicious! (laughs) After that, we also had free time at Kiyomizu-dera. Then we had lunch at Shijo Karasuma. Contrary to what I expected, we had lunch in a beautiful building with many restaurants. There were various types of cuisine, including Italian and Chinese. After that, we took the train for just one station and headed to Kinkaku-ji! Along the way, the bus guide kindly told us that we could take beautiful photos from a certain spot, so we took pictures there! (laughs) The bus guide was very kind, and the tour had a lot of free time, which was different from the group tours I had imagined, and it was actually better! I would definitely like to request this tour again for future sightseeing!

私たちは先日伏見稲荷大社・清水寺・金閣寺を観光するこのツアーに参加しました。その日は天気が良く、絶好の観光日和でした。まず集合では日本人のバスガイドさんからツアーの時間日程の書いてある紙と伏見稲荷大社の回る道順などが書いてある紙の2枚を受取りました。バスに乗ってみると、バスガイドさんは最初に向かう伏見稲荷大社の説明を日本語で言ったあとに英語で同じ説明を始めました。ビックリして周りを見渡して見ると20人弱の観光客の中で日本人の組が私を含めて3組(8人)しかいませんでした。ほぼ観光客の外国人の方でした。その方たちと一緒に稲荷伏見大社の入口まで来たら、その後は1時間ほどの自由行動で皆さん各々自由に伏見稲荷大社を見回っていました。私たちも千本鳥居を見たあとに沢山並んでいる屋台でイイダコとほたてと赤貝の串焼きを食べました！とても美味しかったです！（笑）その後は清水寺も同様に自由行動で回りました。そしてその後は四条烏丸で昼食でした。予想と違ってレストランが多数入っている綺麗なビルの中で昼食を取る形でした。イタリアンだったり中華だったり、様々な種類のお料理が食べられる所でした。そしてその後は一駅だけ電車で移動して、次に金閣寺に向かいました！途中でバスガイドさんからここから写真を撮ると綺麗に取れるよっと教えて頂きその場で写真を撮りました（笑）バスガイドさんもすごく親切な方で、ツアーの内容も自由時間がとても多くてイメージしていた団体行動で観光するものと違ってむしろ良かったです！ぜひまたどこかへ観光する場合はお願いしたいと思うツアーでした！

【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.

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。

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。

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

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。

I was able to efficiently visit the highlights, which made it enjoyable and easy. However, the audio guide was difficult to hear. Since there were participants from various countries, it might be unavoidable, but I wish there had been a bit more explanation and commentary from the guides.

見どころを効率よく回れたので楽ちんで楽しめました。
ただ、音声ガイドが聞きとり辛かったです。

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

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^)/*

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.

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.

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.

Mt. Fuji Tour from Tokyo with Lake Kawaguchi, Oshino Hakkai & Ninja Village

A Rainy Mt. Fuji Trip In August But Still A Great Experience!

Reviewed by: Rose

Mike Otani, the tour guide, was warm, friendly and attentive. His personality added a unique flavor to the tour. That's for sure! The tour bus was comfortable, and you can safely leave your things on the bus as you explore the different sights. Regardless of the clouds covering Mt Fuji during our stop at Lake Kawaguchi, a variety of beautiful flowers and a taste of the delicious, locally made blueberry ice cream made up for the obscured view. We also enjoyed the little fruits and veggie store there and bought fresh plums and tomatoes. Oshino village was charming but very much crowded that it felt like a busy market. Lunch at the ninja-themed village was delicious and filling. The place would probably be more enjoyable for families with young kids that need to get their wiggles out after having to sit still on the bus for some time. Mt Fuji 5th station was amazing! The clouds parted just as we got there and granted a view of the summit. You can get away from the crowds by avoiding the shops and hiking some distance up the Yoshida Trail and taking in the breathtaking views. The 4D experience was awesome and exciting! You really feel as though you are flying over Fuji-san and will appreciate the scenery even more. Disappointing that the schedule was too tight to allow a visit to the “La ville de Gaspard et Lisa” in the adjoining section of the park. Wouldn’t have minded paying extra and going home a little late for that. We do feel the various stops were a bit rushed and would've enjoyed a more leisurely pace to allow us to linger a bit longer at certain places. There is just enough time to take pictures and buy food, produce or souvenirs. Perhaps if the tour were to start earlier, then we would be able to unhurriedly digest the activities. Overall, the tour was excellent and well worth it! Would recommend it again, especially to families with kids. Quality of service is great and we are thankful for the experience. Would easily book another tour with Japan Panoramic.

It was raining and traffic was bad during our visit. We did not see Mt. Fuji and we had to skip the cable car ride. I think we should have skipped the 5th station so we could've taken the cable instead. Although the food was delicious, I had hoped the food they prepared for us was Japanese and not Western food. Make sure to check the weather before booking this trip.

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 perfect day blessed with good weather. 天気に恵まれた最高の1日

Reviewed by: mt430

When you think of Yakushima, you think of Jomon Sugi! Encouraged by my enthusiastic husband, I signed up for this tour despite my anxiety about hiking. Although we are in our 20s, both my husband and I are not very active and have no prior experience with hiking or trekking. However, thanks to this tour, we were able to meet Jomon Sugi safely!

We departed around 5 AM. Since we stayed in the Anbo area, which is close to the trailhead, we were lucky to have a pickup that was about 30 minutes later than those staying in the Miyanoura area. The trailhead was further away than I expected, and because vehicle access is restricted, the tour took us directly to the trailhead without needing to switch to a shuttle bus, which I felt was a significant advantage.

Now, we set off from the Arakawa trailhead. My husband and I formed a group with six other people of similar age (the guides organized this for us), and we began walking. The first hour was on a somewhat uneven trolley path. It was a bit difficult to walk because you had to watch your step to avoid slipping. After that, we walked for about two hours on a relatively easier trolley path, which was the most enjoyable part. The trolley path is about 8 km long, and as we walked deeper into the forest, we could enjoy the changing scenery.

However, there were several bridges along the trolley path without railings, which might be a challenge for those with a fear of heights. I’m not particularly good with heights either, but I pushed through for the sake of seeing Jomon Sugi. After reaching the end of the trolley path, we walked about 2.5 km on a mountain trail to reach Jomon Sugi.

This section involved more ups and downs, and it took us about two hours to cover the 2.5 km mountain trail. Personally, I preferred the mountain trail over the trolley path. Being able to check my footing and progress step by step made the hiking experience more enjoyable. Of course, there were tough spots, but the stunning views along the way, including Wilson's stump and the Great King Cedar, helped ease the fatigue. Finally, when we encountered Jomon Sugi, it was even larger than I had imagined, and I was overwhelmed by its presence! We spent about 15 minutes resting and admiring Jomon Sugi before having lunch a little further down. Eating in the great outdoors was truly delicious. The warm herbal tea the guide provided helped cool us down after sweating, which was a nice touch. At this time, a Yakushima deer came quite close, and we were all charmed by its adorable appearance.

The descent went quickly, but we had to be careful to avoid falling. The guide said, "Climbing requires stamina, while descending requires concentration," and that was absolutely true. Although we started to feel tired on the way down, we kept walking without losing focus. Our group descended faster than the others, so we took a break by the Anbo River, dipping our feet in the stream. It was the guide's suggestion, and it felt great to cool our feet and rest. Having a guide meant we didn’t have to worry about our pace, and we could learn about Yakusugi and the history of Yakushima while walking, making it a very meaningful day.

屋久島と言ったら縄文杉でしょう！と意気込む主人に押される形で、登山が不安な私はこちらのツアーを申し込みました。20代ではありますが、夫婦揃って運動不足、普段から登山やトレッキングの経験がない素人です。しかしこちらのツアーに参加したことで、無事縄文杉に出会うことができました！

出発は朝5時頃。登山口から近い安房エリアに宿泊していた為、宮之浦エリアに宿泊されている方々よりも30分ほど迎えが遅かったようでラッキーでした。
登山口までは思ったよりも遠く、しかも車両の乗り入れが制限されていることもあり、ツアーはシャトルバスに乗り換えず直接登山口まで行けるので、まずここが大きなメリットだと感じました。
さあ、荒川登山口から出発です。私たち夫婦は他の6名の同世代の方々とグループになり(ガイドさん達が勝手に編成してくれました)、歩き始めました。
最初の1時間は、足場のあまり良くないトロッコ道が続きます。しっかり足元をみていないと、滑る危険があるので少し歩きにくかったです。その後約2時間は比較的歩きやすいトロッコ道を歩きます。ここが一番楽でした。トロッコ道は約8kmありますが、段々と奥に歩いていくに従って森が深くなり、景色の移り変わりを楽しむことが出来ました。
ただトロッコ道に何本もかかる橋の中で、柵がない橋がいくつかあり、高所恐怖症の方にはちょっとした試練かもしれません。私もあまり得意ではないので、怯えながらも縄文杉の為にがんばりました。
さて、トロッコ道の終点、大株歩道入口から山道が2.5kmほど歩くと、縄文杉です。
本格的にアップダウンが始まり、時間にして約2時間でこの2.5kmの山道を歩きました。
個人的には、トロッコ道よりも山道の方が好きでした。自分で足場を確認し、一歩一歩進むことで登山をしている実感が湧くので楽しかったです。もちろんきつい場所もあるのですが、ウィルソン株や大王杉といった、縄文杉までの道の途中で出会える景色がとても素晴らしかったので、疲れを癒しながら登山できました。ついに出会えた縄文杉は思ったよりも大きく、その存在感に圧倒されました！15分ほど休憩しつつ縄文杉を眺めて過ごし、少し下ったところでお昼をとりました。大自然の中でのご飯は本当においしかったです。ガイドさんがくれた温かいハーブティーも汗がひいて体が冷えるのを防いでくれて嬉しかったです。またこの時に屋久鹿がかなり近くまで寄ってきてくれて、可愛い姿に皆で癒されました。下りはどんどん進みますが、転倒などに気を使う必要があります。ガイドさんが「上りは体力、下りは集中力」と言っていましたがその通りです。下りは疲れも出てきますが、集中力を切らさず歩き続けました。
私たちのグループは他のグループよりも早く下ってきたので、安房川におりて沢に足をつけて休憩しました。ガイドさんの提案でしたが、足を冷やして休ませることができ良かったです。ガイドさんがいると歩くペースを考える必要がないですし、屋久杉のこと、屋久島の歴史なども聞きながら歩くことができるので、とても有意義な1日でした。

白谷雲水峡半日（苔むす森まで）トレッキングツアー by 屋久島ツアーオペレーションズ

It feels incredibly purifying! めちゃくちゃ浄化されます！

Reviewed by: むうう

Yakushima, a place I had always wanted to visit at least once in my life, took over six hours to reach from Tokyo by plane, bus, and boat! After much hesitation, I decided on a spontaneous two-night, three-day trip to Yakushima. Due to the ferry schedule, I could only spend half a day on the first and last days, so I booked a tour for the morning to afternoon of the last day. On this day, a triple typhoon was approaching Kanto, and there was a high possibility that both the ferry and the plane would be canceled. Despite this, I thought, "No! Even if I can't go home or make it to work tomorrow, I will go trekking!!!" and set out in a rather anxious state (laughs). The day before had been sunny, but it turned out to be the first rain in a month? (light rain), which made the moss look even more beautiful. The plan included rental trekking gear, which turned out to be a good choice. The specialized shoes didn't put a strain on my feet.

I carefully stepped up each "stone" on the steep path. There were hardly any flat or dirt-only paths. I had to keep my eyes on my feet to avoid falling, so I focused on "which stone to step on next!" I was drenched in sweat and quite exhausted, but before I knew it, I arrived at the moss-covered forest. The beauty of the forest and water, along with the negative ions, was incredible. In the moss-covered forest, I felt like I could just gaze at the scenery forever. The water was also drinkable. I deducted one star because the pre-trip packing list mentioned "long sleeves," but since it was a light hike, I ended up sweating a lot and short sleeves would have been fine (the guide was wearing short sleeves). It also mentioned "snacks (light meals)," but there were no breaks or places to sit except in the moss-covered forest, so I had no opportunity to eat. Additionally, since I was focused on my footing, I couldn't fully enjoy the scenery, and I wished there had been a bit more time to stop along the way. But I suppose that's to be expected for a half-day trip. If you have the time, I definitely recommend spending a full day there. Seeing deer and monkeys in their natural state in Yakushima is truly moving. It's worth visiting at least once in a lifetime. By the way, miraculously, our ferry and plane resumed service, and we made it home safely!

人生で一度は行きたかった屋久島、東京から飛行機+バス＋船＝6時間超！！なかなか決意がつかない中、二泊三日で突発屋久島旅行が決まりました。初日と最終日は船の時間により半日しかいれないため、最終日の朝～昼にこちらのツアーを申し込み。この日は、関東にトリプル台風到来で、船も飛行機も欠航になる可能性大と言われる中「いや！帰れなくても、明日会社行けなくても、トレッキングには行く！！！」という、精神状態穏やかでない状況で挑みました（笑）前日まで晴天だったのですが、なんとこの日は、1か月ぶり？の雨だったようで（小雨です）、苔たちが一層きれいに見えるとのこと。トレッキンググッズレンタル付きのプランだったのですが、付けて正解でした。専用シューズだと足に負担がかかりません。
とにかく急な「石」の段を１つ１つ踏みしめて登っていきます。平坦な道、土オンリーの道はほぼありません。足元をずっと見てないと落ちそうなので「次はどの石を踏もう」と集中しました！汗だく、びしょ濡れで結構きつかったのですが、あっという間に苔むす森着。森と水の美しさ、マイナスイオンはハンパじゃないです。苔むす森では、ボーっとしていつまでも眺めていられる感じです。水もそのまま飲めます。☆星１つ減らしたのは、事前の持ち物リストに「長袖」とありましたが、軽く登山なので汗だくになり半袖でもよかったこと。（ガイドの人は半袖でした）「お菓子（軽食）」とありましたが、苔むす森以外は休憩ないし座るとこもないので食べるきっかけないです。あとは、足元見て歩くので景色を堪能できず、途中途中もう少し立ち止まれる時間があったらなと思いました。半日だから仕方ないのでしょう。時間があれば、ぜひとも1日使って行くべしと思いました。屋久島は、シカやサルの自然の姿そのままを見れるのは感動します。一生に一度は訪れる価値ありです。ちなみにご利益があり、私たちの便から船も飛行機も
再開するという奇跡が。。無事帰れました！！

Jomon Sugi Tour with my daughter and seniors 娘とシニアの縄文杉ツアー

Reviewed by: まさちゃん

Since I was able to take a summer vacation, I immediately agreed to my daughter's suggestion to go to Yakushima, a place I had never experienced before. I secured a 3-night, 4-day trip and hotel for the summer vacation, and after doing some research, I decided to request the local participation tour from VELTRA, as the Jomon Sugi tour seemed very challenging. Since I have no experience in mountain climbing, I signed up with climbing gear included. After arriving at Yakushima Airport, I received a brief explanation, and the rental items like climbing shoes, raincoats, and backpacks were brought to the hotel, allowing me to try them on and choose my shoes. I also borrowed proper climbing socks since the ones I had were not suitable.

On the day of the tour, I woke up at 3:30 AM, picked up two bento meals at the front desk at 4:00 AM, and finished one meal in my room. By 4:30 AM, I boarded the welcoming bus, picking up fellow participants one by one as we headed to the trailhead. After glimpsing the pink clouds covering the sea side as the night turned to dawn, we ran straight into the mountains. Upon arriving at the trailhead, our group of over 20 people split into three teams, each guided by a guide. After warming up, we started climbing at 6:00 AM, walking continuously along the trolley path. We then ascended the winding mountain path with tree roots. We took breaks at key points, received explanations, and kept walking. Blessed with good weather, we walked through the deep green illuminated by sunlight filtering through the trees, making it comfortable as the island's scorching sun did not reach us. The others were very considerate of me, the oldest in the group. My daughter encouraged me when my pace slowed down a bit.

The Jomon Sugi is said to be 7,000 years old, and I thought that it might not be so different from me if it were human, as I savored the same air. I have both a photo of me exhausted and a commemorative photo with my daughter at the summit. We returned the same way we came, and I think I was a bit faster on the way down since it was the same path. When I started to feel tired and thought, "Is it not over yet?" I had the chance to dip my tired feet in the riverbed. The cold, clear stream soothed my hot feet, and I realized through this experience that comfort requires some hardship. My feet felt lighter, and I was able to return safely to the trailhead.

The next day, my thigh and calf muscles were sore, and I couldn't help but let out a cry while going up and down the stairs. It had been a long time since I experienced such immediate fatigue the very next day. As a side note, when I stepped on the scale later, I found I had gained 2 kilograms but lost 3.5% body fat. If this has such an effect on body fat, I am determined to walk or climb mountains from now on to welcome a healthy 70s. Overall, I am grateful for the tour and the guides who made it possible for an ordinary senior like me to experience mountain climbing.

夏休みが取れたので屋久島に行きたいとの娘の提案に南の島は未体験の私は即のりました。夏休みの3泊4日の便とホテルを確保して、いろいろ調べたのですが、縄文杉ツアーはとても難しそうだったんで現地参加型のVELTRAさんでお願いすることにしました。特に山登りの経験もないので山登りグッズ付きで申し込みました。屋久島空港に到着後簡単な説明を受け、登山靴、レインコート、バックパックなどのレンタル品はホテルまでもってきてくれ実際に履心地をしっかり見ていただきマイシューズにすることができました。靴下も手持ちのものが本格のものでなく登山靴下まで貸していただけました。ツアー当日は3時半起き、4時にフロントで2食の弁当受け取り1食分は即お部屋で完食しました。4時半には出迎えのバスに乗り、同乗者を順にのせて登山口にむかいます。星がまたたいていた夜が明け空がピンク色の雲で覆われた海側を垣間見たあとはひたすら山の中に向かって走ります。登山口到着後乗り合わせた20数人のグループは3班に別れ一名ずつのガイドさんに引率していただきます。準備運動をして6時登山開始です。ひたすらトロッコ道を歩き続けます。その後木の根っこの蛇行した山道を登ります。要所要所で休憩、説明をうけひたすらあるきます。好天に恵まれ、木漏れ日の差し込む深い緑を歩くので,島のジリジリと焼けつく日差しは届かず快適でした。最年長の私を気遣って皆さんよくしていただけました。娘も速度が少し鈍り勝ちになった私を後からガンバレとはげましてくれました。　
　縄文杉は　2017才とのことですが人間にしたら私と変わらんかも知れんなあと思いながら同じ空気を味わいました。疲れ果ててへたり込んでいる写真と娘と二人登頂記念の写真の両方がのこりました。帰りも同じ道を降りるのですがやはり来た道ですから速度はいくらか早まったと思います。疲れがでて”まだ終わらんか？”と思ったころ河原におりて疲れた足を浸す機会がありました。ほてった足を冷たい清流が癒やしてくれて、楽を味わうには苦が必要なんやと実体験から納得しました。足も軽くなって無事登山口にもどってくることができました。　翌日太ももの付け根、脹脛の筋肉が痛く、階段の登り降りに思わず悲鳴がもれます。いやあすぐ翌日から疲れが出るのは本当に久しぶりの体験でした。後日談ですがかえって体重計に乗ったら2キロ増の体脂肪3,5減でした。体脂肪にこんなに効果あるんやったらこれからウオーキングか山登りして元気な70代を迎えたいなあと意気込んでいる次第です。とにかくなにできそうもない普通のシニアの山登りを実現させていただいたツアーとガイドさんに感謝・感謝の旅でした。

I was able to travel much cheaper than if I had paid for the rental car and facility fees myself. It's quite affordable!

自分でレンタカーや施設料を個人で支払いするより断然安く旅ができました(*^_^*)かなり格安です(*^_^*)

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

Even the rain becomes charming! A tour that truly refreshes the heart. 雨すらも魅力になる！心からリフレッシュできるツアー

Reviewed by: ana

Shiratani Unsuikyo, the setting of Princess Mononoke. The lush green trees, the ancient Yakusugi that evoke a sense of history, and the moss that enriches the forest's greenery. The deeper you venture into the woods, the more a mystical world, reminiscent of the movie, unfolds before you.

Particularly breathtaking is the area just past the moss-covered forest. You can enjoy untouched nature that has remained unchanged since ancient times, feeling a weight of nature that you wouldn't experience on a typical hike. Just as we arrived at the moss-covered forest, it began to rain, but even that transformed the forest into something enchanting. The moss glistened with dew, the greenery came alive, and you could enjoy a different expression of the forest compared to sunny days.

Our guide was very kind, and we had a great time. The bento we had near the final destination was also very delicious.

By the way, since it was my first time in Yakushima, I was torn between joining the Yakusugi tour or this one, but this hike was definitely fulfilling. While the Shiratani Unsuikyo trail is 5km, going to see the Yakusugi would be four times that at 20km... I recommend this hike for those who want to enjoy hiking!

もののけ姫の舞台となった白谷雲水峡。青々と生い茂る木々、歴史を感じさせる数々の屋久杉、森の緑を豊かにする苔たち。森の奥に進めば進むほど、映画で見たような神秘的な世界が広がっていました。

特に圧巻なのは苔むす森を過ぎた辺りから。太古から変わらない手付かずの大自然を堪能でき、通常のハイキングでは味わえないような、自然の重みを感じることができました。ちょうど私達の時は苔むす森に着いたあたりから雨が降り始めたのですが、その雨すらも森を魅力的に変えます。苔が露で光り、緑が生き生きとよみがえり、晴れのときとはまた違った森の表情を堪能することができます。

ガイドさんもとても親切で、楽しく過ごすことができました。そして最終地付近で食べたお弁当はとても美味しかったです。

ちなみに初めての屋久島だったので屋久杉ツアーとどちらに参加するのか迷ったのですが、こちらでも歩き応えは十分でした。白谷雲水峡の工程が5kmなのに対して、屋久杉を見に行くとなるとその4倍の20kmとか。。ハイキングを楽しみたい人にはこちらをおススメします！

【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＞

It's hot, so let's quickly explore Mishima. 暑いから、一気に三島巡り

Reviewed by: 冒険おばちゃん

I participated to finally ride the water buffalo cart. Perhaps due to the large number of participants, we departed on a large boat. The waves were quite rough on the way to Iriomote Island, and I got seasick. After 50 minutes, we arrived and switched to a cruise ship for the jungle cruise. After returning upstream, we transferred to a bus to move to the water buffalo cart boarding area on Yubu Island. Listening to the sound of the sanshin, we saw the hardworking water buffalo pulling a cart. I'm glad I could ride it and that I came here.

On Yubu Island, during our free time, we explored the island until it was time for the return water buffalo cart. The lunch was not bad if you didn't have high expectations, and I was full. It was so hot that the air conditioning was a treat.

From Iriomote Island to Taketomi Island, we smoothly traveled on a small high-speed boat. It didn't shake much, and I dozed off a bit.

On Taketomi Island, we took a bus to Hama Beach and collected star sand. Then we rode the water buffalo cart around the island. The water buffalo were more relaxed than I expected.

It was quick to get from Taketomi Island to Ishigaki Island.

It was a busy tour that covered three islands in one go, but I'm glad I chose this. The temperatures were too high to relax on each island. Since we could only stay a short time on Taketomi Island, I would like to revisit when the weather is milder.

念願の水牛車に乗るために参加しました。
参加人数が多いためか大型船で出発。
西表島への途中たいへん波が荒くて、船酔いしました。
50分で到着後、クルーズ船に乗り換えてジャングルクルーズへ。
川上から戻ってきてバスに乗り換え、由布島への水牛車乗り場へ移動。
三線の音色を聞きながら、まじめにキビキビ働く水牛さんの引く一輪車。
乗れてよかった、来てよかった。
自由行動の由布島。
帰りの水牛車が出る時間まで、島内散策しました。
お昼ご飯は期待しなければ、まずくはないレベルでお腹一杯に。
とにかく暑いのでクーラーがご馳走です。

西表島から竹富島へは小型高速船でスムーズに。
あまり揺れず、ウトウトと寝てしまうほど。

竹富島ではバスで皆治浜へ移動。星の砂を拾いました。
それから水牛車に乗って一周しました。
思っていたより水牛さんたちはのんびりしてました。

竹富島から石垣島へはすぐです。

一気に三島を巡った慌ただしいツアーでしたが、これを選択してよかったです。
気温が高過ぎて、各島でのんびりできる状態ではなかったし。
竹富島には短時間しか滞在できなかったので、もう少し気温が穏やかな時期に再訪したいです。

白谷雲水峡半日（苔むす森まで）トレッキングツアー by 屋久島ツアーオペレーションズ

Mononoke もののけ

Reviewed by: にこにこにこにこ

Most tours typically require prior confirmation via email or phone, but this tour had a representative waiting for us at the arrival airport. They confirmed the day's important details and what to bring, allowing us to participate without any worries. On the day of the tour, we were the only customers, and we had a dedicated guide just for the two of us. In the morning, they arrived right on time to pick us up and organized the schedule to ensure we made it to our return flight.

On the way to Shiratani Unsuikyo, we spotted monkeys and a mother deer with her fawn, which made our arrival even more exciting. There were a few slippery muddy spots along the trail, but while listening to our guide's stories, we walked safely and enjoyed ourselves, taking plenty of photos that became wonderful keepsakes. The spring water was very cold and known as "beautiful water," so we drank a lot of it.

Trekking while touching moss and trees and experiencing the scent of the forest was truly moving. Finally, we were also taken to the bath, which was a pleasant way to wrap up our journey. I highly recommend this tour.

だいたいのツアーは、メールや電話での事前確認が多いところ、こちらのツアーは到着の空港で待っていてくれて、当日の注意事項や持ち物等を確認し、不安なく参加することができました。当日は、他のお客様はいなく、私たち二人の専属ガイドさんでした。朝も、時間ちょうどに迎えに来ていただき、帰りの飛行機に間に合うよう、スケジュールを組んでいただきました。白谷雲水峡につくまでに、さるやシカの親子を発見し、わくわくしながら到着しました。途中少しぬかるみ滑るところもありましたが、ガイドさんの話を聞きながら、安全に楽しく歩け、たくさんの写真を撮っていただき、とても良い記念になりました。湧き水はとても冷たく、美人の水ということで、たくさんいただきました。こけや木に触れたり、森のにおいを感じながらのトレッキングは、とても感動的なものでした。最後に、お風呂にも送迎いただき、気持ちよく旅の締めくくりをいたしました。おすすめです。
