This time, I participated in a half-day trekking tour of Shiratani Unsuikyo, which was highly recommended. I almost had to cancel the tour due to a misunderstanding about the ferry schedule, but since we were the only participants, they adjusted the schedule and we were able to leave early.
The guide seemed to be conversing with the trees, leaves, moss, rocks, and water as we walked, which allowed us to naturally blend in and made the challenging journey feel pleasant. I learned a lot about geography and history, and the guide was very considerate, giving us space to enjoy nature while also taking great photos at the scenic spots. It was a wonderful experience that made me reflect deeply on living in harmony with nature. I am very satisfied! I would love to participate in this tour again. Thank you!
今回は半日白谷雲水峡〜太鼓判のトレッキングツアーに参加しました。
フェリーの時間を勘違いしておりツアーを泣く泣くキャンセルするところでしたが、たまたま参加者が私たちだけだったため早く出発するなど調整していただけました。
ガイドさんは樹、葉、苔、岩、水と会話しながら歩いているようでこちらも自然と溶け込めて険しい道のりも心地よく感じました。
地理や歴史などたくさん勉強できましたし、私たちが自然に癒されている時間はそっとしてくださったり、写真スポットではバッチリ映えるような写真を撮ってくださるなどすごく出来たガイドさんでした。自然と共に生きていくという深いことを自然と考えさせられたいい時間でした。大満足です!またこちらのツアー参加したいです。ありがとうございました。

I wanted to visit Sefa Utaki, and I originally signed up for a different tour, but it was canceled, so I participated as a backup. I had to choose between Shinbaru Beach and Okinawa World, but I could change my mind until we arrived at Shinbaru Beach. During the ride to the Peace Memorial Park, the guide shared the tragic circumstances of the war, and I almost teared up. I think it's worth a listen. However, the bus felt like an old tourist bus, and the seats were cramped...
斎場御嶽に行ってみたくて、本当は別のツアーに申し込みましたが催行されずキャンセルとなり滑り止めとしての参加。
新原ビーチとおきなわワールドのどちらかを選択するんですが、新原ビーチに到着するまでに変更も可。
ひめゆりの塔に向かう車内でガイドさんが戦争当時の悲惨な状況を語ってくれたんですが、思わず涙ぐみそうになりました。一聴の価値はあると思います。
ただ、バスは昔の観光バスって感じで座席は狭かった…

During my 2-night, 3-day trip to Yakushima, I participated in an early morning tour to make the most of my time. We departed at 5:30 AM, and it was cool while climbing, with few people around, making it easier to ascend. The sunrise illuminated the scenery beautifully. The weather was clear, and the view from Taiko Rock was stunning. The guide's explanations were easy to understand, and we enjoyed fun quizzes along the way. I had watched the movie "Princess Mononoke," but my memory was vague, so I want to watch it again carefully when I get back.
今回2泊3日の屋久島旅行で、時間を有効的に使いたいというのもあって早朝ツアーに参加しました。朝5時半出発でしたが、登るときは涼しくて、人も少なくかったので登りやすく、朝日が差して景色もきれいでした。晴天で太鼓岩からの景色も絶景でした。ガイドさんの説明はわかりやすくて、登りの途中クイズなどして楽しく登ることができました。もののけ姫の映画は観ていましたが記憶が曖昧だったので帰ってもう一度じっくり観たいと思います。

I participated with a female friend. On the way there, we walked slowly, stopping here and there to talk about the Yakusugi trees and moss, and we thoroughly enjoyed the Kumoi Gorge. In the moss-covered forest, they had just the right items prepared for us, which really boosted our spirits. And above all, the view from Taiko Rock was absolutely stunning! I had participated in the Yakusugi trekking two days prior, and it was amazing to look down at the course we took and feel a sense of accomplishment. For those who are going, I definitely recommend doing the Yakusugi trekking followed by the Kumoi Gorge trekking! On the way back, we even encountered Yakuzaru monkeys. Since we took our time on the way there, we were able to pick up the pace on the return trip, which was great. Thank you very much!
友人同士、女性2人で参加しました。行きはゆっくり歩き、ところどころ立ち止まって、屋久杉や苔などの動植物についてお話してくださり、雲水峡を堪能できました。苔むす森ではどんぴしゃなアイテムも用意してくださっており、テンションUP、そして何より、太鼓岩からの絶景✨最高でした!前々日に屋久杉トレッキングに参加したのですが、上からその時のコースを眺めることができ、自分達の頑張りを実感、、、!これから行かれる方には、ぜひ屋久杉トレッキング→雲水峡トレッキングの順番をおススメしようと思います笑

I wanted to try trekking for the first time in Yakushima, so I signed up for the early morning trek at Shiratani Unsuikyo. Although it was early, with a pickup from the hotel just after 5 AM, there were few people around, and the air was clear, allowing me to fully enjoy nature. Additionally, our guide walked slowly while explaining various things, including plants and trees that are believed to have inspired Studio Ghibli films, which made the trekking experience enjoyable. We finished before noon, so I was able to make good use of the afternoon as well, and I am very satisfied.
初めての屋久島でトレッキングをしてみたいと思い、早朝の白谷雲水峡トレッキングを申し込みました。5時過ぎにホテルにお迎えと朝早いのですが、人が少なく、空気も澄んでいたので自然を大いに満喫できました。また、ガイドさんが植物のことから、ジブリ映画の由来となったと思われる木など、色々なことを説明しながら、ゆっくりと歩いてくれたため、楽しみながらトレッキングできました。12時前には終了したので、午後からの時間も有効に使うことができ、とても満足しています。

It was a three-day trip to Yakushima starting from Marine Day in July! On the second day, I wanted to fully enjoy the nature of Yakushima and considered joining the Jomon Sugi tour, but I wasn't confident in my physical strength or stamina, so I participated in the shorter Shiratani Unsuikyo and Taiko Rock tour.
The tour we joined started early in the morning, so we were able to return by lunchtime and could even participate in activities on the final day. We were very satisfied as we could effectively use our time in the afternoon.
Taiko Rock was our final destination, but there were many attractions along the way, and the guide made regular stops for breaks, allowing us to enjoy the tour even though we usually lack exercise. The guide was a local born in Yakushima, with extensive knowledge of the mountains and plants, and also shared information about delicious local restaurants. They were well-versed in Studio Ghibli as well and pointed out various spots that reminded us of anime characters.
I highly recommend this tour for anyone wanting to visit both Jomon Sugi and Shiratani Unsuikyo, or for those who want to make the most of their final day! It was a fantastic tour with a great guide, and we were very satisfied!
7月の海の日から3日間の屋久島旅行でした!
2日目に屋久島の自然を満喫することをしようと思い、縄文杉ツアーを検討していたのですが体力、気力ともに自信がなく、歩く時間の短い白谷雲水峡・太鼓岩ツアーに参加。

太鼓岩が最終目的地ですが、途中沢山の見所があり、定期的に休憩も取ってくださるので普段運動不足の私達でも楽しんで参加することができました。

The trekking guided by the old man to the Forest of Mononoke was amazing. The healing forest with Yakusugi trees, the lush plants like ferns and moss, and the sight of monkeys, deer, snakes, and small birds right in front of me were all incredible. I filled my water bottle with cold stream water and spring water—what a refreshing experience! Everything I saw felt like a different world. It turned out to be a very satisfying trip to Yakushima. By the way, I’m also an old man (laughs). The next day, I was left with the pleasant aftereffects of muscle soreness all over my body, making it a memorable journey.
もののけの森までガイドのじっちゃんに案内されて最高のトレッキングでした。屋久杉をはじめとする癒される森林、シダ、コケなどの植物群生、サル、シカ、ヘビ、小鳥などを目の前に見たり、冷たい沢水、湧き水を水筒に汲んでゴクリ!見るものすべて別世界でした。大満足の屋久島になりました。ちなみに私もじいさんです(笑)、次の日は全身の筋肉痛の余韻!?で気持ちいい思い出の旅になりました。

It was an early morning gathering, but the air conditioning on the bus was effective, and there weren't too many people, so I was able to sit comfortably and doze off a bit, which helped me feel energetic during the day.

At Sefa Utaki, I almost slipped even while wearing sneakers, but I was able to take my time to appreciate the site, and it made me feel a sense of solemnity. The time at Okinawa World was a bit short, so I rushed through the limestone cave, but I spent more time on the kimono experience and exploring, and I enjoyed everything.
朝早い集合でしたが、バス内は冷房が効いていて人もそんなに多くなく、ゆったり座れてウトウトできたので、日中は元気に回れました。

While looking at various tour reviews, I participated again with Veltra. The actual guide was a person named W from Kumage Transport, which is commissioned by Michi no Eki Kankou. When we arrived on the island, we were supposed to make a confirmation call, and the guide was supposed to call us the day before, but I was in the mountains until late in the evening the day before, so I couldn't connect. Just when I was worried about what to do, the guide kindly called the accommodation directly and connected us.
The guide W who came on the day was quite elderly, which made me a bit anxious, but that worry was unfounded. He had incredible leg strength, knowledge about plants, endurance, a wonderful personality, and a wealth of information about nature and the culture of Yakushima, making it feel like I was walking with a "sage." He patiently taught us, city dwellers who usually don't hike (in our 30s and 60s), how to walk, how to exert ourselves, and how to use trekking poles. (I apologize for thinking he was elderly! We were lacking in every aspect compared to him...)
His personality was very flexible and warm, and his laughter, "ho ho ho," truly resembled that of a "sage."
Now that I'm back and writing this, I want to go into the mountains with W again. I had never done trekking before, but I truly had an amazing experience. I am sincerely grateful.
様々なツアーの評価を見ながら今回もveltraさんで参加しました。実際のガイドさんは道の駅観光さん(が委託している熊毛運輸さん?)のWさんという方でした。島についたら確認電話をし、前日にガイドから確認電話がくるというものでしたが、前日夕方遅くまで山にいたため、電話は繋がらず。どうしようと困っていたらガイドさんが宿に直接電話をかけて繋いでくださり助かりました。
当日いらしたガイドのWさんはかなりご高齢の方で少し不安になりましたが、そんな不安なんのその。とんでもない脚力、植物の情報力、持久力、お人柄、自然への情報量、そして屋久島という島の文化などまるで「仙人」と歩いているような感覚でした。普段山を歩かない都会っ子の我々(30代と60代)にも丁寧に歩き方や力の入れ方、ストックの使い方を教えてくださいました。(ご高齢!なんて思って申し訳ありません!私たちの方が全てにおいて劣りすぎていました。。)
お人柄も非常に柔軟で温かく、「ほっほっほ」と笑う笑い方はまさに「仙人様」でした笑。
今、帰ってきて、これを書いていますが、またWさんと山に入りたいです。トレッキングなんてしたことのない私でしたが、本当に本当に素晴らしい経験をさせていただきました。心から感謝します。

This was my second time participating in the same tour. It's my favorite tour because it allows you to visit various sightseeing spots in a short amount of time. After getting off the bus, you walk about 10 minutes to the entrance of the Seifa Utaki. Since the sun can be intense, a hat or sun umbrella is essential. After passing the entrance of Seifa Utaki, there are many areas with poor footing, but I believe the solemn atmosphere is worth the visit.

I had a bus guide named Kiyuna from Toyo Bus. The explanations and service were very polite. Thank you very much.
Sefa Utaki was quiet early in the morning. I chose Okinawa World over Shinbaru Beach. I arrived in time for the Eisa performance at 10:30. Watching the entire Eisa show takes over 30 minutes, which leaves little time for Gyokusendo Cave and the Fruit Village. If you want to see it, it's better to just watch a little. (The outdoor stage allows free entry and exit.) There is a discount for entering the paid area. Ticket purchasers receive discount coupons for the souvenir shop, so be sure not to forget to present them at the register.
Perhaps because it was a weekday, there were only six of us on a large bus, which was quite comfortable. The schedule was also accurate.
I recommend it.

This is a bus tour around the southern part of Okinawa Island. The early meeting time was a bit tough, but it's convenient as you can visit places like Sefa Utaki, Okinawa World or Shinbaru Beach (you can choose), and the Peace Memorial Park.

I apologize and thank you for accommodating my various requests regarding the shuttle service. Your flexible response was very helpful.
One thing I thought of is that even if you contact the tour company with details in advance, it doesn't necessarily mean that the guide on the day is aware of that information (or has received the message), so it's better to communicate it again. Of course, they say to inform the guide, but that doesn't alleviate our concerns until the day before, which made me think, "Hmm."

ひとつ思ったのは、事前にツアー会社に細かいことを連絡していても、当日のガイドさんがその内容を把握している(連絡を受けている)とは限らないので、改めて伝えたほうがよいです。もちろん、ガイドに伝えてくださいとは言われますが、それだと前日までこちらの心配事が解消されないので、うーん、と思ってしまいました。

The Shiratani Unsuikyo itself is wonderful, and I was moved by the nature of Yakushima, a UNESCO World Heritage site. However, my honest opinion is that it would have suited our family better to go on our own rather than relying on this tour company.
Initially, I was unaware that the tour company, rental company, and guide were separate organizations. From my perspective, I assumed that all the information I provided through Veltra was being coordinated.
However, when I contacted the guide the day before, I found out that our return flight time had not been communicated, and we had to hastily move up the meeting time.
We also rented some gear, but since that was with a different company, I managed to contact them directly the day before to ensure it arrived on time. However, the rental items were delivered after 8:00 PM the night before, and the rental company instructed us to return them to the guide, but the guide said they could not accept them.
Regarding the guide, since they operate independently, I believe there are individual differences, but the person assigned to our family had low hospitality and looked down on us as beginners in hiking. The explanations were minimal, and despite having a child in elementary school, they proceeded at their own pace without taking sufficient breaks, resulting in a significantly shortened return trip. (Due to the weather and the child's walking speed, we could not reach Taiko Rock.)
So, my straightforward opinion is that it would have been better to explore at our own pace.
白谷雲水峡自体は素晴らしく、世界遺産屋久島の自然に感動しました。
但し、こちらのツアー会社に頼むことはなく、自力で行くほうが私たちの家族には合っていたというのが正直な感想です。
当初は、ツアー会社・レンタル会社・ガイドさんがそれぞれ別の組織であることを知りませんでした。こちらからすればVeltra経由でお伝えした情報は全て連携されているという前提で考えていました。
ところが、実際前日になり、ガイドさんと連絡をとったところ、こちらの帰りの飛行機の時間が伝わっておらず、集合時間を急遽早めることになりました。
またグッズのレンタルをしたのですが、こちらも別会社ということで、前日にこちらから連絡を直接とってなんとか間に合いましたが、前日の20:00過ぎにレンタル品が届くという形でしたし、レンタル会社にはガイドさんに返却するように言われたのですが、ガイドさんからは受け取れないという返事でした。
ガイドさんに関しても、基本的には個人でやられているということで、これは個人差があるのだと思いますが、私たち家族の担当の方はホスピタリティが低く、登山初心者の私たちをどこか見下した態度でした。解説は最低限で、小学校低学年の子供がいるにもかかわらず、自分のペースでどんどん進んでしまい、休憩も十分に取らないまま、予定を大幅に短縮しての帰還になりました。(天候と子供の歩くスピードの関係で太鼓岩に行けませんでした。)
ということで、それであれば自分たちのペースでゆっくり回れば良かったというのが率直な感想です。

I participated in the Jomon Sugi trekking the day before, so I was sore all over, but surprisingly, once I started walking, my body moved well. Sunlight filtering through the mossy forest. After climbing a bit more in the somewhat dark mossy forest, the view suddenly opened up, and the green scenery spread out, with a pleasant breeze. We departed at 8:40 and returned by 2:30 PM. When we arrived at Taiko Rock, the guide told us we had plenty of time, so we were able to relax. We had lunch on the way down, and the instant miso soup the guide made was delicious! I would love to visit again in a different season. Thank you for your help.
前日に縄文杉トレッキングに参加していたので、全身筋肉痛でしたが歩き始めると意外と身体が動いて驚きでした。
苔むす森に差し込んでくる木漏れ日。
少し暗い苔むす森をもうひとふんばり登ると
一気に視界がひらけて、緑の景色が広がって風も気持ちよかったです。
8時40分出発、午後2時半には帰ってこれました。
太鼓岩に到着したときに、時間に余裕がありますよ、とガイドさんに言われてのんびりできました。
下山途中でお昼を食べて、ガイドさんが作ってくれたインスタントのお味噌汁のおいしかったこと!
また違う季節に行ってみたいです。
お世話になりました。
