The first day was incredibly long and challenging, but I was able to push through thanks to the guide's explanations and conversations with the people I met on the tour. After all the effort, seeing Jomon Sugi was an overwhelming experience.
The second day at Taiko Rock also had great scenery, which was amazing. It was about a third of the effort compared to the first day, and I was able to go normally. Both places had different atmospheres, so it was definitely worth visiting.
初日は途方もなく長くて大変だったけれど、ガイドさんの説明やツアーで一緒になった人たちとの会話で頑張ることが出来ました。苦労した分、縄文杉にご対面した時は感無量でした。
二日目の太鼓岩までも、景色が良くこれも最高。初日に比べて三分の一ぐらいで普通に行けました。両方とも雰囲気が違うから行く価値ありました。

I think it was probably the best two days.
First of all, we were blessed with great weather. The view from Taiko Rock was truly spectacular, and it felt like we could see everything. The journey was neither too hot nor too cold, and despite the COVID-19 situation, there were fewer people, allowing us to leisurely enjoy sights like Jomon Sugi.
I participated alone, but the members who happened to be there were naturally like-minded, so we were able to have various conversations and enjoy ourselves.
おそらくベストに近い二日間だったと思います。
まずはとにかく天気に恵まれました。太鼓岩からの眺めはまさに絶景で、見えるもの全てが見渡せた感じです。道中は暑くもなく寒くもなく、にも関わらずコロナ禍で人は少なめで、縄文杉を始め一通りのんびりと眺めることができました。
一人での参加でしたが居合わせたメンバーも必然的に価値観の近い人が集まっているのでいろんな話をして楽しむことができました。
Dear Bob,
I apologize for the delayed response, but thank you very much for participating in our tour.
Yakushima is said to be the number one place people want to visit alone. However, many customers often mention that climbing together while enjoying each other's company and encouraging one another creates a feeling similar to that of old friends. The view from Taiko Rock can sometimes be obscured by fog when the weather is bad, but I'm glad you were able to see the stunning scenery.
In early April, you can see the mountain cherry blossoms, and in winter, the snow-covered landscape is beautiful, so please come visit us again.
We look forward to serving you in the future.

ご連絡遅くなりましたが、この度は弊社ツアーにご参加頂き、誠にありがとうございました。
屋久島は一人旅で行ってみたい場所1位だそうです。
しかし、他のお客様と楽しみながら時には励ましあいながら登るので昔からの友達のような感覚になるとよくお客様が言っております。
太鼓岩からの景色は天気が悪いとガスが出て、景色が見れないときもありますが、絶景が見れて良かったですね。
4月初旬では山桜が、冬になると雪化粧が見られますので、また遊びに来て下さい。
今後とも宜しくお願いします。

I was worried about my sister's stamina, but signing up for the tour was definitely the right choice. I am grateful that we were able to reach our destinations on both days at a precise pace.
On the first day, we had Tsubone as our guide. She frequently checked to make sure we weren't falling behind and gave us advice on what clothes to take off or put on during breaks. She also took many photos for us.
On the second day, we had Uranishi as our guide. He taught us a lot about the flowers and moss, and took beautiful photos using the panorama feature.
As individuals, we might have been too focused on just walking and could have missed some points, but he explained everything thoroughly. Having a guide made it much easier mentally.
I am truly grateful for the wonderful guides and the experience of Yakushima over the two days. Thank you very much!
私はともかく、姉の体力が心配でした。
ツアーに申し込んで大正解です。的確なペース配分で2日とも目的地にたどり着くことができ感謝してます。
1日目はツボネさんでした。こまめに後ろを振り返り遅れていないかの確認や、休憩のタイミングでどの服を脱ぎ着するかのアドバイス、また写真もたくさん撮ってくださりました。
2日目はウラニシさんでした。
花や苔の説明などたくさんのことを教えてくださいました。写真もパノラマ機能を使い素敵に撮ってくださいました。
個人では歩くことに必死になって、見落としてしまいそうなポイントもあますことなく説明していただきました。やはり、先導してくださる方がいると気持ち的にも楽でした。
2日間とも素敵なガイドさんと屋久島を堪能できて感謝しかありません。本当にありがとうございました。
Dear Mikachi,
I apologize for the delayed response, but thank you very much for participating in our tour.
While it is possible to visit Jomon Sugi and Shiratani Unsuikyo without a guide, I believe there were many things you would not have learned about pace management, natural explanations, and injury responses without one. Since both of you are still young, I encourage you to challenge yourselves with other mountains in Yakushima.

Note: Once you arrive at Yakushima, don't forget to contact them yourself! Also, you will need to prepare a cooperation fee. A guide will contact you in advance, so please make sure to be alert for their call!
- Day 1: Jomon Sugi
The return trip on the trolley path was a bit fast, but the pace otherwise was just right. There were some areas where I didn't receive explanations while other guides were explaining, but it wasn't a problem since I could ask questions and get answers. They were very attentive at the photo spots. Not all the guides are great at speaking, so it's good to keep that in mind.
- Day 2
A different guide from Day 1. I felt that Shiratani Unsuikyo was a version without the trolley path from the Jomon Sugi course. The guide taught us how to use the poles and walk, and the pace was slow, which allowed me to relax since I had muscle soreness from Day 1. I think this was because I communicated my condition in advance.
- Summary
The weather forecast predicted rain on Day 2, but we were blessed with good weather both days and had a great time! There are tours that cover both in one day, but I wouldn't recommend it in terms of time and physical stamina. I recommend spreading it over two days. It's a bit disappointing that the rented backpack was worn out.
注意:屋久島についたら自分で連絡を忘れずに!また、協力金などの用意も必要です。事前に案内してくださるガイドの方から連絡があるので、電話にすぐ気づけるようにしておいてください!
・1日目縄文杉へ
帰りのトロッコ道は少しペースが早かったですが、それ以外のペースは、ちょうどよかったです。
他のガイドさんが説明しているところで、説明してもらえなかったところがありましたが…質問したら答えてもらえたので、問題はありませんでした。
写真ポイントの箇所では丁寧に対応してくださいました
ガイドさん全員が話し上手というわけではないので、そこは理解しておいた方がいいかと思います。
・2日目
1日目とは違うガイドさん。白谷雲水峡は縄文杉コースのトロッコ道がなくなったバージョンだと感じました。
ポールの使い方や歩き方を教えてくださり、又ペースもゆっくりで、1日目で筋肉痛だった自分には安心して過ごすことができました。
事前に自分の状態を伝えておいたためだと思います。
・まとめ
天気予報では2日目が雨の予報でしたが、両方とも天気に恵まれ、楽しく過ごすことができました!
1日で両方巡るツアーもありますが、時間的、体力的にもお勧めはしません。二日に分けて巡る方をお勧めします。レンタルしたリュックがボロボロなのが少し残念
Dear Yakushiman,
Thank you very much for participating in our tour, and I apologize for the delayed response.
First of all, it is our rule that customers contact us upon arrival in Yakushima (as flights to Kagoshima or high-speed boats to Yakushima may be canceled).
That aside, thank you for your hard work over the two days. We have guides who are both quiet and aggressive, and we acknowledge that not meeting your preferences is something we need to address as a tour operator. Additionally, I sincerely apologize for the rental issue. I will make sure to address this with the rental team.

Day 1
The trekking to Jomon Sugi was enriched by the tour experience. Among the various sightseeing spots, I was able to hear enjoyable stories and truly feel the nature around me. The weather was favorable from the morning, and I could see the mountains of Yakushima clearly. Since there were fewer tourists at this time, I didn't have to worry about the restrooms being crowded, and they were conveniently located for breaks, so it was not a problem. I did bring a portable toilet just in case.
Day 2
We started under a cloudy sky. By the time we reached Taiko Rock, the sun peeked through, and I was able to enjoy the scenery. There were several impressive landmarks along the way, making for a fun hike.
This was my first time in Yakushima. I participated as a solo female traveler, and it was a tour that I could fully enjoy even alone. I was able to ask the guide all the questions I wanted, and the time flew by.
1日目
縄文杉までのトレッキングは、ツアーだからこその内容が充実していました。観光名所のポイントがいくつもある中で、より楽しめる話が聞けたり、自然を肌で感じることができました♪
朝から天候に恵まれ、屋久島の山々もよく見えました。
この時期観光客も少なかったこともあり、心配していたトイレは混むこともなく、休憩とりながら、ちょうどいい場所にあったので問題なかったです。一応、簡易トイレは持っていってました。
2日目
曇り空の中スタート。太鼓岩に着く頃には晴れ間が見え、こちらも景色を満喫できました。見応えのある名所も所々あり、楽しいハイキングとなりました。
今回、初屋久島。女性一人参加しましたが、一人参加でも充分楽しめるツアーでした。ガイドさんに聞きたい話も聞けて、あっという間でした。

I joined the tour as a solo traveler. January and February are completely off-season, so there were very few people, which was great. Perhaps due to the mild winter, I was able to enjoy it without being hindered by snow!
The Jomon Sugi tour was guided by a guide named Kyoku, and there were just three of us, including another female university student, making for a very enjoyable trekking experience. The explanations were very detailed, and I learned a lot about Yakushima and Jomon Sugi. The guide was always attentive to our pace and would warn us in advance about slippery areas, which provided an overwhelming sense of security!♡ I heard that during the summer season, there are long lines at Wilson's stump, but since there were no crowds, I was happy to be able to try taking pictures multiple times until I got the ones I liked.
On the second day, we went to Shiratani Unsuikyo. The guide was the oldest in Yakushima, but he moved lightly and initially planned to take us only to the mossy forest, yet he ended up taking us all the way to Taiko Rock. He has been guiding for 30 years and mentioned that the early morning is the best time for Shiratani Unsuikyo. We reached Taiko Rock before anyone else and enjoyed the view. By the time we started descending, fog rolled in, and I thought to myself how impressive it was to have such an experienced guide.
While Jomon Sugi is a must-see, in terms of simply beautiful scenery, Shiratani Unsuikyo was incredibly stunning as well. It became the best memory of Yakushima. Thank you very much!
女1人で参加したのでツアーに申し込みました。1月2月は完全にオフシーズンで、人も少なくて非常に良かったです。暖冬の影響からか雪で足場を取られることもなく楽しめました!
縄文杉ツアーは局さんというガイドさんで、もう1人大学四年生の女の子と一緒で合計3人で非常に楽しいトレッキングでした。解説が非常にきめ細やかだったのと、屋久島に関して、縄文杉に関しての情報を色々と教えて下さりました。またペース配分が問題ないか常に気にかけてくださったり、滑りやすそうなところでは事前に注意を呼びかけたりしてくださって圧倒的安心感がございました!!♡ウィルソン株等は夏のシーズンは長蛇の列ができるみたいですが、人がいなかったので何回も何回も気にいる写真が撮れるまでトライできたのも嬉しかったです。
2日目は白谷雲水峡に行きました。屋久島のガイドさんで最高齢というガイドさんでしたが、足取りは軽く、当初は苔むすの森までだったはずが、太鼓岩まで連れてっていって下さりました。既にガイドを30年やられているということで、白谷雲水峡は朝一が一番良いと言われ、誰よりも早く太鼓岩に到達し眺めを堪能できました。下山する頃になると、霧が出てきてさすがベテランガイドさんだなと思いました。
縄文杉も外せないですが、単純な綺麗な景色!という意味では白谷雲水峡もとてつもなく綺麗でした。。最高の屋久島の思い出になりました。ありがとうございました!!

I participated in a day trip to Jomon Sugi and a day trip to Shiratani Unsuikyo (Taiko Rock).
The guide was very kind and friendly, making it easy for me to join even though it was my first time trekking. Not only did they teach me a lot about Yakushima, but they also provided thoughtful snacks along the way, which I truly appreciated!
In early January, there were no other people around (I only encountered a total of 9 people), and I was able to spend time surrounded by nature, creating unforgettable memories. I highly recommend visiting Yakushima during the off-season!
縄文杉1日→白谷雲水峡1日(太鼓岩)に参加しました。
ガイドさんがとても優しく親切な方で
トレッキングがはじめてでも安心して参加できました。
屋久島のことをたくさん教えてくださるのはもちろんのこと
道中の軽食の気遣いなどもたくさんいただき、本当にありがたかったです!!

自然だけに囲まれて過ごすことができ、忘れられない思い出になりました。

On New Year's Day, we visited Jomon Sugi, and the following day, we went to Taiko Rock. Both days were blessed with sunny weather, and the guide's explanations were thorough and very easy to understand. I believe they were also very considerate of the participants' health and well-being.
Jomon Sugi:
Thanks to the guide's quick thinking, we were able to see the first sunrise from the bridge. Even though it was sunny, being January, the miso soup provided by the guide during lunch was a comforting warmth.
Taiko Rock:
The day before, there were three groups with seven people, but on this day, it was just our family, making it essentially a private tour. We were able to bond over topics other than trekking, and having the same guide for two consecutive days made the long journey feel quick.
If I have the opportunity to visit Yakushima again, I would definitely like to request the same guide. For example, I think it would be great if there was a guide selection system for repeat participants. Yakushima Tourist Station, please consider this!
元旦初日が縄文杉 翌日太鼓岩 でした。
両日ともに晴れの天気に恵まれ、ガイドさんの説明は丁寧でとても解り易く、ツアー参加者への体調等の配慮も充分だったと思います。
縄文杉:
ガイドさんの機転で橋から初日の出を見れました。晴れてはいても流石に1月なので、お昼のお弁当の時にガイドさんが提供してくださったお味噌汁はほっとする温かさでした。
太鼓岩:
前日は3グループ7名でしたが、この日は我が家だけで、実質プライベートツアーになりました。トレッキング以外の話題で盛り上がったりと、2日連続でガイドをしていただけると打ち解けて長い道のりもあっという間でした。
また屋久島にくる機会があったなら、是非同じガイドさんにお願いしたいです。例えば、2回目以降の参加者にはガイドさん指名システムがあったらいいなと思いますが、、。屋久島道の駅観光さん検討して下さい!

It was my first trekking experience as I turned 60. I got used to my trekking shoes and climbed Mount Daimonji, but I felt anxious. The guide appropriately guided me and the entire group while considering everyone's situation, allowing us to conquer both courses. Thank you very much! It was tough, but I am very satisfied. Next time, I want to lose a little more weight and improve my flexibility. I heard that a 92-year-old person completed it... I want to prepare well so I can enjoy it with my grandchild.
還暦を迎えて、ほぼ初めてのトレッキングでした。トレッキングシューズを慣らしたり、大文字山に登ってみたり…はしましたが不安でした。
ガイドさんが、私を含めメンバー全体の状況を見ながら適切に案内して下さったので両コースを制覇(?)出来ました。ありがとうございました❗
しんどかったですが、とても満足しています。次回は、もう少し体重を落として…柔軟性を高めておきたいと思います。
92歳の方が制覇されたとか…。孫と参加出来る様に、十分な準備をして楽しみたいと思います。

My first long trek was a challenge, but I was able to enjoy it while being healed by the beauty of the forest. Since it was my long-awaited trip to Yakushima, it was a very good experience.
However, it's unfortunate that the experience can vary greatly depending on the guide, so I have to give it a ☆-1. The guide on the first day seemed very friendly when I spoke to him on the phone, but once we started walking, he didn't pay much attention to those behind him. We only took a proper break to sit down twice on the way to Jomon Sugi (once quite early on and once for a restroom break). Other guides seemed to stop and explain various things, but we were just passed by.
He mentioned that we would take photos on the way back, so I thought the explanations would happen then, but in the end, we didn't take time for either. Despite some people lagging behind and looking tired, there was hardly any advice given, and instead of caring for us, it felt like we were being rushed. As a beginner in trekking, I was unsure of what to do since I had requested a guide.
The guide on the second day was completely different; he provided a lot of explanations about the plants and advice on how to walk, which gave me a great sense of security. He also took many photos for us.
Of course, it's natural for each guide to have their own characteristics, and there must be a pace to maintain for completing the trek, so I understand that to some extent. However, I would have appreciated at least some explanations while moving without stopping. Since we can't choose our guides, I won't mention any names, but after reading other people's experiences, it seems like many had similar experiences with the same guide, so I guess it's just a matter of luck when signing up.
長時間のトレッキングは初挑戦でしたが、森の美しさに癒されながら楽しんで戻ってくることができました。
念願の屋久島だったのでとても良い経験でした。
ただ、ガイドさんによって随分感じが変わってしまうのが残念なので☆-1です。
1日目の方はお電話で話した際はとても気さくな印象でしたが、
いざ歩き出すとあまり後ろを気にしてくれず、縄文杉までの片道でしっかり座って休んだのは2回(1回はかなり序盤、1回はトイレ休憩)のみ。ほかのガイドさんは立ち止まっていろいろ説明してくれているようでしたが、スルーでした。
写真も帰りに撮りますとおっしゃっていたので、説明も帰りながらなのかなと思いましたが、結局どちらも時間を取ることなく。
疲れて遅れ気味の人がいるにも関わらずアドバイスもほとんどなく、ケアをしてくれるどころか急かすような感じで、登山素人だからガイドさんをお願いしているのにちょっとどうしていいかわからなかったです。
2日目のガイドさんは全く違って、植物の説明や歩き方のアドバイスなど沢山いただきましたし、遅れ気味の人をガイドさんのすぐ後ろにするなど非常に安心感がありました。写真も沢山撮ってくださいました。
もちろんガイドさんにそれぞれ特徴があるのは当然でしょうし、踏破するためのペース配分というものがあるのでしょうから仕方ないとは思いますが、せめて止まらずに進む説明などは欲しかったです。ガイドさんを選べないのでお名前は伏せますが、他の方の体験談も拝読すると同じ方なんだろうなーというのがいくつもありましたので、その辺りは運だと思って申し込むしかないんでしょう。

I participated with three friends from university. The weather was great both days, making it perfect for trekking.
On the first day’s trek to Jomon Sugi, after passing the long trolley path, I unfortunately cramped my left leg during the steep ascent, and I wondered if I would make it to Jomon Sugi. However, the guide provided me with a herbal remedy that is good for cramps, and somehow I managed to reach Jomon Sugi and return within the time limit! I am truly grateful. Also, the instant miso soup during lunch was warm and soothing for my tired body from the hike.
I really felt it was a good decision to join a guided tour. On the second day at Taiko Rock, I wondered if I could go due to the fatigue from the previous day, but after a good night’s sleep, I felt much better. It was certainly challenging, but I managed to complete the itinerary. I’m really glad I participated!
大学時代の友人達と3人で参加しました。
2日間とも非常にいい天気で、トレッキングには絶好の日和でした。
1日目の縄文杉トレッキングでは、長かったトロッコ道を過ぎ、キツイ登りに
なったところで、不覚にも左足がつってしまい、縄文杉までたどり着けるか?と思った局面があったのですが、ガイドさんが足がつったときに飲むといい漢方薬をくださり、なんとか縄文杉までたどり着くことができ、時間内に戻ってくることができました!感謝しかありません。また、昼食時のインスタントですが、お味噌汁があったかくて登山で疲れた身体には癒しになりました。
ガイドありのツアーに申し込んで本当に良かったと思いました。
2日目の太鼓岩は前日の疲労から行けるか?と思ったのですが、一晩じっくり寝たら大分疲労も回復し、もちろんしんどくはありましたが、なんとか行程をこなせました。参加して本当に良かったです!

I participated with my husband. Neither of us usually goes trekking, so we had some concerns, but we managed to get through the two days. We chose a tour for peace of mind. We thought we wouldn't be able to decide whether to continue or turn back in bad weather. As a result, the first day was sunny, and the second day had light rain, but I was glad we had a guide for the Taiko Rock course on the second day, as the route was quite complicated. We were able to take beautiful photos at the photo spots, and we heard various stories along the way. It was a tour that exceeded our expectations for peace of mind.
旦那さんと参加しました。2人とも普段はトレッキングしないので、少し不安な部分もありましたが、2日間なんとか乗り切ることが出来ました。ツアーにしたのは、安心料でした。天候が悪いとき、奥に進むのか?引き返すのか?自分たちでは判断出来ないと考えました。結果、1日目は晴天、2日目は小雨でしたが、2日目の太鼓岩コースは結構道順が複雑でガイドさんを付けて良かったと思いました。写真スポットでは綺麗な写真を取っていただけ、道中に色々とお話を聞かせていただけ、安心料以上の満足するツアーでした。

The walking pace was faster than I expected, and I didn't have time to put on my raincoat, so it was quite hard, and I thought I might get a muscle strain. I brought a lot of portable toilets, but there was limited time to use them. However, the scenery was really beautiful. I'm glad I got to see it at least once in my lifetime.
思っていたより歩くペースが速かったり、レインコートを着る時間もなかったりと、かなりハードで肉離れになるかと思いました。簡易トイレを大量に持っていきましたが、トイレに入る時間も限られていました。ただ、景色などはすごく良かったです。一生に一度は見たかったのでよかったです。

I truly enjoyed the unique experiences that the tour offered over the two days, and I'm really glad I participated. While I think both places could be visited individually, the connections and encounters with others made it a wonderful experience that only a tour can provide.
Day 1: Jomon Sugi
With six tour members and our guide, it was not just about explanations; they also helped us bond as a group. The sense of unity and everyone's smiles at the finish line are unforgettable! I was delighted to have warm miso soup during lunch.
Day 2: Shiratani Unsuikyo
With four tour members and our guide, we had to return early due to the typhoon, but they adapted the schedule flexibly, which was truly impressive! Our guide not only led us but also acted as a photographer, capturing many wonderful photos and videos, which made the four of us girls very happy! We were able to enjoy the tour many times more thanks to our hospitable guide.
I am grateful for the wonderful encounters in Yakushima. I strongly recommend participation to anyone who is considering it. Thank you! ☺︎

I am truly grateful for the ample time we had for taking photos and for the excellent arrangements made at Taiko Rock. Additionally, everyone from Yakushima was warm and welcoming, and I have fallen in love with Yakushima all over again. I will definitely be back.
縄文杉コースも白谷雲水峡コースも天気に恵まれ、素晴らしい景色を堪能できました。
ガイド横田さんのお話も面白く、歴史的な事など知れたりであっという間の2日間でした。
また、写真を撮る時間を多く頂いたり、太鼓岩では絶妙な采配をして頂いたりと本当に感謝しかありません。
また、屋久島の方皆さん温かく、屋久島が改めて好きになりました。リピート確実です。

The rain cleared up, and I went to Jomon Sugi under the long-awaited sunny weather. Along the way, the explanations from our guide, Yokota, were enjoyable, making the experience twice as fun. The next day, however, it rained again, and we couldn't go all the way, but we did manage to reach the Forest of Mononoke. The explanations from our guide, Shimozono, were also filled with various local information, which made it enjoyable. It was a good decision to stop early due to the rain.
雨も上がって、久しぶりの晴天の中に縄文杉まで行きました。途中、ガイドの横田さんの説明が楽しく、2倍楽しめた気がします。翌日は逆に雨が降ってしまい最後までいけませんでしたが、もののけの森までいけました。ガイドの下園さんの説明もいろいろな地元情報もあり楽しめました。雨で途中でやめる判断も早くて良かったです。

On the first and second days, the guides were different people. To conclude, the guide on the second day was very good. The pacing, the way of using our legs, and the explanations about the plants and moss were all very thorough, making it easy to climb. On the other hand, the guide on the first day was also very kind and a good person, but due to the requests of a younger person in our group, we descended at a considerably fast pace, which was quite challenging for me, being older. They would wait for me, but would start walking again before I could catch up, so I couldn't rest at all and had to keep walking. I wanted to take more photos, but I had no time at all. Still, I think that without the guide, I wouldn't have known the highlights and it would have just been a "go there" experience, so I believe it was good to join the tour after all.
一日目と二日目でガイドさんが違う人でした。結論からいうと二日目のガイドさんがとてもよかったです。ペース配分、足の使い方、植物や苔の説明など非常に丁寧で、つらくなく登れました。一方、一日目のガイドさんも大変親切な方でしたし、良い方でしたが、一緒に登った若い人の要望で相当早いペースで降り、年齢的にかなり上のわたしには、ついていくのが大変でした。待ってはくれるのですが、追いつく前に歩き出すので、遅れる私はまったく休めず歩きどおしでした。もっと写真を撮りたかったのに、全然余裕がありませんでした。それでも、ガイドなしでは見どころもわからずに「行くだけ」になったと思うので、やはりツアーでよかったと思います。

The first day's Jomon Sugi day tour surprised me with how fast the guide's pace was, but in the end, I realized that without that pace, we wouldn't have made it back. There were various explanations along the way, and I had many fun discoveries, which made it enjoyable. The photo angles were amazing, and all the pictures taken were wonderful! Additionally, when my legs started to hurt midway, the guide taught me effective stretching techniques and helped me out.
On the second day, there was heavy rain and some restrictions, but based on the amount of rain and the river's water level, the experienced guide took us to the Mononoke Forest. In the morning, I was nervous thinking we might not be able to go, but since our group and another group really wanted to go there, the guide, hearing that, suggested that if we went slowly, the rain might lessen and we could cross the river. Thanks to their intuition and pacing, we were able to reach the long-desired Mononoke Forest (Mossy Forest).
I am filled with gratitude. Thank you very much!✨
初日の縄文杉日帰りツアーは、
ガイドさんのペースが早くて、びっくりしましたが、終わってみれば、あのペースで無ければ、帰ってこれないし、
でも、ところどころでいろんな説明があって、
楽しい発見もいっぱいで楽しかったです✨
また、さすがの写真アングルが素晴らしく、
撮っていただいた写真は素敵なものばかりでした✨
また、足が途中で痛くなった時にも、ストレッチの効果的なやり方を教えてくれたり、助けていただきました!
2日目は、大雨で規制もありましたが、
雨の量、川の水量などから、ベテランさんならではの経験値から、
もののけの森まで連れていっていただきました。
朝の時点では、行けないかも?とドキドキしてましたが、私達や一緒に参加したもう一組の子達も、そこに行きたいのが一番の願いだったから、
それを聞いてたガイドさんが、
ゆっくり行けば、雨が少なくなって、川も渡れるようになるかもと、ペースをゆっくりにしてくれたり、長年の勘から、ペース配分してくださったりしたおかげで、念願のもののけの森(苔むしの森)までたどり着く事ができました。
感謝の気持ちでいっぱいです。
ありがとうございました✨

I participated in a one-day tour of Jomon Sugi and Shiratani Unsuikyo + Taiko Rock. I noticed that many people were traveling without a guide, which made me wonder if I could have done the same. However, I felt that it was better to have a guide at first. Those without a guide seemed to be focused solely on reaching their destination and were just walking without much thought. While I initially thought having a guide meant moving slowly, I realized that walking at a leisurely pace allowed for many discoveries and I learned a lot. Since people go to Yakushima seeking an extraordinary experience, I recommend taking deep breaths and enjoying the ancient forest as you walk.
縄文杉1日、白谷雲水峡➕太鼓岩1日のツアーに参加しました。
ガイド無しで旅行されてる方も多くいたので、自分もガイド無しでも良かったのかな?と道中思いましたが、やはり最初はガイド有りにすべきだろう、と感じました。
ガイド無しの方は目的地に行くことだけが目的となって只管歩いていた様に思えます。ガイド有るとゆっくりやなぁ、と思っていましたが、ゆっくり歩くことで色々な気づきがありましたし、沢山の事を教えて頂けました。
非日常を求めて屋久島に行くのでしょうから、何度も深呼吸して太古の森を感じながら歩く事をお勧めします。

The Jomon Sugi trek is long and challenging, but the guide's support was excellent, and it was really great. The second day's Shiratani Unsuikyo was canceled due to heavy rain and rising water levels, but the refund process was very smooth, and I am satisfied.
縄文杉は工程は長く辛いですが、ガイドさんの対応もとてもよく、スゴくよかったです
2日目の白谷雲水峡は雨で増水のため中止となりましたが返金手続きもとてもスムーズで満足しています

On the first day, the Jomon Sugi was under clear skies, perfect for trekking. The scenery and weather were wonderful, but the guide seemed overly focused on the time and hardly looked back, providing little explanation. There wasn't even time to take photos. To make matters worse, while I was taking pictures, the guide went ahead and disappeared from view. The guiding was completely pointless; I believe I would have enjoyed it much more if I had gone on my own. On the second day, I had a different guide who shared various stories with us. It seems there is a significant difference depending on the guide. I hope for a certain standard of service from the guides. There is really no point in having someone accompany you if it’s like this.
1日目の縄文杉は晴天で、トレッキング日和でした。景色も天気も素晴らしかったのですがガイドさんが時間ばかり気にしているのか後ろも見ず、説明もほとんどありませんでした。写真を撮ってる暇もありません。
挙げ句の果てには、写真を撮っている間にさきにいって見えなくなりました。
ガイドの意味が全くなく、むしろ個人で行った方がより深く楽しめたと思います。2日目は違うガイドさんでいろいろお話してくれました。
ガイドさんの当たり外れで雲泥の差があるように思います。
ある一定の接客レベルの人であってほしいです。一緒にいってもらう意味が全くありません。

Due to a landslide caused by heavy rain, I had given up on climbing from the Arakawa trailhead, but I received an alternative suggestion that I could reach Jomon Sugi from Shiratani Unsuikyo, which would take about 12 to 13 hours. Thanks to that, I was able to climb successfully! This meant that my trip was reduced from two days to one. Climbing from Shiratani Unsuikyo involves ascending two mountains, so it can be really tough if you're not in good shape.
The phone support was a bit chaotic, possibly due to coordination with others, as I was told different things than what was initially communicated. However, in the end, I was able to climb, so I have no complaints.
It may take some time for recovery, but Yakushima is a place you can visit with peace of mind, so I definitely encourage those who had given up to go!
大雨による土砂崩れで荒川登山口から登れないとのことで諦めていたところ、白谷雲水峡からだったら12,3時間かかるけど縄文杉に行けますと代替案をいただき無事に登れることが出来ました!その都合で2日間ではなく1日になりました。白谷雲水峡からだと山を2つ登るので体力がないと本当につらいと思います。
電話対応は他の人との兼ね合いも合った為かうまくいかず、案内されていたことと違う事を言われたりとゴタゴタしましたが、最終的には登ることが出来たので言うことはありません。
おそらく復旧には時間がかかるかもしれませんが、屋久島は安心して行くことが出来るので、諦めていた方にも是非行ってほしいです!

We participated in a tour to Jomon Sugi on April 27 and Taiko Rock on April 28 as a couple aged 61 and 58. We have experience in trekking and climbing, but this time, due to the long distance of 22 km round trip and our desire to hear various stories, we booked a private guide for the first day. However, there was not much explanation along the way, and when I fell and injured myself at a stream, the guide only mentioned that they had disinfectant but did not provide any treatment on the spot. We continued walking for another 20 minutes and finally arrived at the next rest area, where we had to take care of the wound ourselves. The guide had 26 years of experience, but I wished for a bit more consideration.
61歳と58歳の夫婦で4/27縄文杉+4/28太鼓岩までのツアーに参加しました。トレッキングや登山は夫婦で何度も経験がありますが、今回は往復22kmと長丁場なのと色々な話を聞きたくて初日のみプライベートガイドを申し込みました。しかし道中大した説明もなく、また私が沢場で転んで怪我をした際にも「消毒薬を持ってる」と言ったきりその場で処置する事もなく更に20分歩き続け、漸く次の休憩場所に着いたところで自分達で傷の手当てをしました。
経験26年の熟練ガイドさんでしたが、もう少し気遣いが欲しかったです。

Although I usually don't exercise much, I signed up casually, but the 22 kilometers and 10 hours and 15 minutes of perfect climbing were so hard that I almost had to retire midway. Thanks to everyone's encouragement and our local main guide, Taniyama, who carried my luggage, I was able to complete it safely! I'm just so grateful! ♪( ´▽`)
Yakushima has rain two-thirds of the year, and the mountain weather reportedly has a low rate of clear skies, but fortunately, it was a beautiful sunny day! ♪ I canceled the half-day trip to Shiratani Unsuikyo the next day due to a sore throat and heavy rain in the morning, but it was still a satisfying experience. Thank you very much.
普段、ほとんど運動をしていないのに、氣軽に申し込んでしまいましたが、22キロ、10時間15分の完璧なる登山で、あまりにハードだった為、途中でリタイアしそうに。皆さんの励ましと、地元出身のメインガイドのタニヤマさんがわたしの荷物を背負って下さったお陰で、無事にコンプリートできました!もう感謝でしかありません♪( ´▽`)
屋久島は年間2/3が雨で、しかも山の天候は晴天率が低いらしいのですが、その日は快晴だったのもさいわいでした♪
翌日の白谷雲水峡半日の方は喉の痛みに加え、朝方豪雨だったこともありキャンセルしましたが、充分満足できる体験となりました。ありがとうございました。

I participated in a tour that included Jomon Sugi and Shiratani Unsuikyo in one day. I was quite prepared for the long course of Jomon Sugi, but the guide took appropriate breaks and shared various stories, so while I did get tired, it was an enjoyable trek.
For Shiratani Unsuikyo, a different guide talked about Yakushima's nature and plants. I was very happy that they even prepared a figure of Kodama from "Princess Mononoke."
I felt a bit anxious about the low tour price, but there were no particular complaints about the advance communication or the tour itself; in fact, I was very satisfied. If I have the chance again, I would like to participate in Shiratani Unsuikyo or other courses. (Maybe I've had enough of Jomon Sugi for now. Haha.)
縄文杉1日+白谷雲水峡1日のツアーで参加しました。
縄文杉のコースはとにかく長いということでかなり覚悟して臨みましたが、ガイドさんが適度に休憩をとってくださったり色々とお話をしてくださったので、もちろん疲れはしましたが楽しいトレッキングでした。
白谷雲水峡は縄文杉とは別のガイドさんで屋久島の自然や植物についていろいろとお話ししてくださいました。もののけ姫のこだまのフィギュアも用意してくださってとても嬉しかったです。
ツアー代金が安かったので少し不安を感じていましたが、事前の連絡やツアー自体に特に不満もなく、むしろ大満足でした。
また機会があれば白谷雲水峡や他のコースにも参加したいと思います。
(縄文杉はもういいかな。笑)

I was anxious about whether I could keep up since I decided to go. I started walking in a group of five, including the guide, and I was worried about whether I could make it back, as my feet hurt even on the trolley path. However, the guide was attentive and checked on us multiple times, allowing us to walk the round trip distance safely. They took photos for us, and during lunch, we enjoyed warm miso soup, which was exceptional for our tired bodies. I am grateful to the guide on the second day for providing various explanations. I regret not being able to stay a bit longer.
体力が持つのか行く事に決めてからずっと不安でした。ガイドさんを含めて五人のグループで歩き始めトロッコ道ですら足が痛くて帰れるのか心配でした。しかしガイドさんの気配りはさすがで何度も声かけをして下さり無事に往復の距離を歩けました。写真を撮って下さったりお弁当の時は温かいお味噌汁も頂き疲れた身体には格別でした。二日目のガイドさんもいろいろと説明をして頂き感謝です。もう少し長い滞在にしたかったと悔やまれるほどです。

Dear else,
Thank you for participating in our tour, and I apologize for the delayed response.
The Jomon Sugi is approximately 22 km, and the Shiratani Unsuikyo (Taiko Rock) is about 6 km, so I believe the trek to Jomon Sugi was quite challenging. However, walking those 22 km for about 10 hours must have given you a sense of accomplishment, right?
Yakushima has many other beautiful mountains and sightseeing spots, so please come visit us again. We look forward to your continued support.

ご連絡遅くなりましたが、この度は弊社ツアーにご参加頂き、誠にありがとうございました。
縄文杉が約22km、白谷雲水峡(太鼓岩)が約6kmですので、やはり縄文杉は長くて苦労したと思います。
しかしその22km約10時間を歩いたことは自信になったのではないでしょうか?
屋久島は他にも良い山や里の観光地もありますので、また遊びに来て下さい。
今後とも宜しくお願いします。
