I had been to Sefa Utaki before, but it was my first time at the Gangala Valley. Walking through it felt like stepping back in time. When the Great Banyan Tree appeared, I couldn't help but exclaim, "Wow!" The guide's stories were enjoyable, and the 1 hour and 20 minutes flew by.
I felt it was a great decision to participate in this half-day course at Sefa Utaki and Gangala Valley. Since the return trip also includes the airport as a drop-off point, I think it's a good option if your flight schedule aligns.
斎場御嶽には行ったことがありましたが、ガンガラーの谷は初めてでした。歩いているとまるでタイムスリップしたような雰囲気です。大主ガジュマルが現れた時は、思わず「うわー」と声が出てしまったほど。ガイドさんのお話も楽しく、本当に1時間20分はあっという間でした。
斎場御嶽とガンガラーの谷のこの半日コースは参加してよかったと思いました。帰りは空港も降車場所としてあるので、飛行機の時間が合えば、良いコースだと思います。

In the afternoon tour, after finishing, we had a meal on Kokusai Street, bought souvenirs, and returned to our accommodation, making good use of our time. At Masahiro Sake Brewery, we listened to an explanation of the process of making awamori. In the video inside, the employees were dancing with one-sho bottles of awamori balanced on their heads. It was amazing.
The Gyokusendo Cave at Okinawa World was incredibly beautiful, and I was deeply moved. I promised my friend that we would go on a cave exploration in the southern islands next time. The Eisa dance was also cool. At the end of the show, everyone danced together, and it was a lot of fun. I promised my friend that we would come back to Okinawa again. Thank you for the wonderful memories.

Okinawa World felt like Meiji Mura in Inuyama, Aichi Prefecture, where I could sense history. The Super Eisa performance was impressive, and it was so much fun to dance together at the end!
Gyokusendo Cave was incredibly beautiful, and I promised to join the cave exploration in the southern islands next time. At Masahiro Shuzo, the explanation of how awamori is made was easy to understand, and even though I couldn't drink it, it looked delicious, so I ended up buying a small bottle. When I see awamori, I think I will look for the Masahiro brand. I wished I had a bit more time at Okinawa World. I had a very enjoyable time. Thank you!

Finding the starting point was easy as it was very easy to see at the train station. It was nice that there were translations available as one of us spoke English and the other spoke Chinese. Despite rainy weather the tour was great. The tour obviously runs on a schedule so lingering to meditate will not work. There was enough time to follow the trails and get a number of photos but be aware that there will be crowds as these are very popular tourist places. This is an easy way to see the temples and to avoid numerous train and subway changes.

I think it's best to consider the bus as a means to take you to Mount Ontake and Okinawa World without expecting much from the guide. Although they encourage an early gathering for the bus, it operates on "Okinawa time," meaning the bus actually arrives late. Both the guide's lack of organization and the bus's delays are within the acceptable range when you think of it as part of the Okinawa experience.
ガイドに期待せず、御嶽と沖縄ワールドに連れて行ってくれるバスと考えるといいと思います。
バスの集合を早めに促しているのに、実際バスは遅れてくるという沖縄時間です。

On the last day of my trip to Okinawa, I participated in a half-day tour, which was appealing because it included transportation to the airport. We explored the Sefa Utaki in the morning calm. The worship areas, rocks, trees, and flowers were all surrounded by pure air, making it a wonderful experience. We had about 45 minutes for the visit, and to be honest, I thought that if we had a bit more time, we could have checked out the roadside station with a parking lot as well. The Ganjyaru Valley tour included an 80-minute walk through the forest with a tour guide. There was plenty of time, and it was full of highlights like the forest and limestone caves! I really enjoyed it. It was nice that they provided bottled tea and had insect repellent available, showing their thoughtfulness. I would love to participate again.
沖縄旅行の最終日に参加しました。半日コースで、空港まで送ってもらえるのも魅力でした。斎場御嶽は朝の静けさの中を回りました。拝礼所や岩や木々や草花も清らかな空気のなかにあって素敵でした。およそ45分の見学時間で、正直言えばもう少し時間があったら駐車場のある道の駅も覗くことができたかなと思いました。ガンガラーの谷はツアーガイドと森を歩く80分のコースです。時間もたっぷりとあり、森や鍾乳洞など見所満載!本当に楽しかったです。ペットボトルのお茶がついたり、虫除けがさりげなくおいてあったりと、気遣いもあって良かったです。また参加したいです。

I came to Naha for a business trip and participated in a half-day tour in the morning since I had work in the evening. It’s not very efficient to visit places like Shurijo Castle and Gyokusendo Cave by public bus, but this tour takes you around these spots efficiently. The guide felt more like a tour conductor than a traditional guide. I would have appreciated a bit more information about Okinawa, but considering the low price, I was able to overlook that as just part of the transportation cost. Many participants were traveling alone, and despite being in Okinawa, which attracts many international tourists, the bus was filled only with Japanese people, making it quite quiet.
出張で那覇にきて、夕方から仕事だったため、午前中の半日ツアーに参加しました。斎場御嶽や玉泉洞は公共のバスで巡るには効率がわるいのですが、このツアーはこれらの場所を効率よく回ってくれます。

もう少し沖縄の話をしてくださったらうれしかったのですが、値段が安いので交通費と割り切れました。
参加者は一人で参加されている方が多く、また海外の観光客が多い沖縄でありながら日本人のみで、バス車内は静かでした。

I joined this tour because I wanted to see the world of Princess Mononoke. Personally, I preferred the path to Shiratani Unsuikyo over the journey to Jomon Sugi. The guide was kind and very helpful, which I appreciated. However, I wish I could have heard a bit more about Yakushima. Thanks to the rain the day before, the moss was beautifully wet. Since there were other participants, I actually wanted to stay longer and take in the forest, but it was a shame that I couldn't stay that long. We went to Taiko Rock, and luckily the view that day was very good. Overall, I was satisfied with this tour. If you want to take more photos and have a more leisurely trip, I think a private guide would be better.
もののけ姫の世界が見たくて、このツアーに参加しました。個人的には縄文杉までの道のりよりも、白谷雲水峡までの方が好きでした。ガイドの方も優しくたくさんお世話してくださり助かりました。ただ、もう少し屋久島の話が聞けるとよかったかなと思います。前日の雨のおかげで、苔が雨に濡れてとても綺麗でした。他の参加者の方もいたため、本当はもっとじっくりその場に留まって森を見ていたかったのですが、そこまで滞在ができなかったのが残念です。太鼓岩まで行きましたがその日は運良く眺めもとてもよく、全体を通してこのツアーには満足です。もっと写真をとったり、じっくりゆっくりする旅がよければ、プライベートガイドが良いかなと思いました。

I participated since I had free time on the last morning. It's convenient and nice that they drop you off at the airport.
Visiting Sefa Utaki in the early morning when there are no people allows you to feel the atmosphere more and makes it easier to take good photos. I also passed by the Nirai Kanai Bridge, and it was great to capture beautiful photos reflecting the morning light. When traveling alone with a rental car, you can't stop just to take pictures.
It was the morning of the day Shuri Castle burned down, and while I was shocked, I was impressed by how composed the guide was. Before we landed at the airport, she sang Okinawan folk songs, and as I listened, I found myself in tears... I wanted to stay longer in beautiful Okinawa, where the climate and people are warm; I didn't want to go back. Even after arriving at the airport, I couldn't stop the tears from flowing for a while.
It was a wonderful conclusion to a great trip. Thank you very much.
最終日の午前中が空いていたので参加しました。空港下車させてくれるのが便利で良いですね。
斎場御嶽は朝一の人のいない時間に行けるので、雰囲気がより感じられるし、良い写真が撮りやすいのではないでしょうか。途中ニライカナイ橋も通り、朝の光を反射した美しい写真が撮れたのもよかったです。一人旅のレンタカーだと通るだけで写真は撮れないので。
首里城が燃えてしまった当日の朝でしたが、ショックを受けつつもガイドさんが気丈に振る舞っていたのが印象的でした。空港に降り立つ前に沖縄民謡を歌ってくださり、聞いているうちに涙が・・・。美しく気候も人も暖かい沖縄にもっといたかった、帰りたくなかったんでしょうね。空港についてもしばらく涙が溢れて止まりませんでした。

At Sefa Utaki, I was delighted to see rare spiders (which are said to resemble shisa) and butterflies. I also felt a surge of energy. Previously, when I visited Okinawa World, I learned about the Gangala Valley and wanted to go there, so I joined a tour this time. I thought it might be difficult to walk, but the paths were paved, making it easy and comfortable. It was also a meaningful opportunity to reflect on ancient Japanese people, such as the artifacts from the Minatogawa people.

At around 7:30, I received a confirmation call and informed them that I was waiting in front of Makishi Station. When it was past 7:40 and they still hadn't arrived, I started to worry. Then, around 8:00, I received another call saying they were now waiting in front of the Prefectural Office and would come to pick me up. After a while, I got another call asking me to come to the Prefectural Office instead of them picking me up.

Also, since it had just rained, the Sefa Utaki was very slippery, and I walked down the slope quite slowly. They do lend you shoes, but I think it's important to wear shoes that are less slippery.
The guide in the car provided a lot of explanations, and I was really glad to learn things that I wouldn't have known if I had gone on my own.

I wanted to visit not only the Shiratani Unsuikyo, which is said to be the setting for Princess Mononoke, and the moss-covered forest, but also Taiko Rock! I searched for various tours and ended up booking this one, which takes you to Taiko Rock at a reasonable price. The guide was a seasoned veteran with extensive knowledge, sharing enjoyable and thought-provoking stories about life. They also shared various snacks and garlic, which gave us a boost of energy—thank you! This tour offers an early morning option, and we chose that. There were few climbers, allowing us to take our time and enjoy taking photos on our way to Taiko Rock. The moss-covered forest was mystical, and the morning light created a fantastical atmosphere that was captivating. And then, Taiko Rock! There were steep slopes along the way, and combined with the muscle soreness from the previous day, it was tough, but reaching the top was breathtaking! According to the guide, the views are better in the early morning. Indeed, the early bird catches the worm!

I have participated in this tour several times, and I think it’s very worthwhile because it’s efficient and inexpensive. Since Sefa Utaki is on a mountain path, I recommend wearing comfortable shoes instead of sandals. Women especially need to be careful, as it can be quite difficult if it rains. At the Valley of Gangala, the guide provided detailed explanations, and it was really fun. Although it rained like a typhoon, the rain made the trees and leaves vibrant and beautiful. Since Okinawa has sudden rain showers, I think it’s better to prepare for the possibility of rain. I want to go again.
こちらのツアーには何度か参加していますが、効率も良く安いので大変お得だと思います。斎場御嶽は山道なので、サンダル等ではなく歩きやすい靴で行くのが良いと思います。特に女性は気をつけないと雨が降ったら大変です。ガンガラーの谷はガイドさんが詳しく説明してくれて、すごく楽しかったです。台風みたいな雨だったのですが、雨のおかげで木や葉っぱが生き生きしてきれいでした。沖縄はスコールがあるので、雨が降るかもしれないと準備して行ったほうが良いと思います。また行きたいです。

Dear Harebare,
Thank you very much for your post about your experience. The Jomon Sugi course is also known as the "Training Course" or "Torture Sugi Course," while the Shiratani Unsuikyo is referred to as the "Healing Course." Some customers turn back at the moss-covered forest, but in recent years, the course leading to Taiko Rock and the early morning course have been gaining popularity. There are not many other climbers, and the air is clear, allowing for breathtaking views from Taiko Rock (weather permitting).
This time you participated in the autumn, but in spring, the mountain cherry blossoms make the mountainsides appear pink, and in winter, the mountain ridges are covered in white snow, resembling the Alps.
We sincerely look forward to your next visit to Yakushima.

返信遅くなりましたが、体験談への投稿、誠にありがとうございます。
縄文杉コースは別名「修行コースや拷問杉コース」と言われておりますが、白谷雲水峡は「癒しコース」と呼ばれております。
苔むす森で折り返すお客様もいますが、ここ数年はその先の太鼓岩までのコースさらに早朝コースが少しずつ人気が出ており
まさしく他の登山者もあまりおらず空気が澄んでいるので太鼓岩からも絶景が見れます(天気次第ですが)
今回は秋の参加ですが、春になると山桜で山肌がピンクに見れますし、冬は山の稜線が雪で真っ白になり、まるでアルプスの山を見るようです。
またの来島を心よりお待ちしております。
