I was able to enjoy the Shiratani Unsuikyo by experiencing the plants of Yakushima from the car, engaging all my senses and knowledge. The guide was also interesting, and we had a great time together with the couple who participated with us. I would love to join again if the opportunity arises.
移動中の車の中から屋久島の植物にふれ、目から耳から五感全部はもちろん知識で白谷雲水峡を満喫することが出来ました。ガイドさんもおもしろい方で一緒に参加していたご夫妻の方とみんなで楽しくまわれました。また機会があればお願いしたいです。

I had a great experience touring Yakushima while listening to various stories from the guide about the island's geography and history. It's definitely a better experience than wandering around on my own. There's a big difference between exploring with knowledge and without it. I was also very satisfied to see the Yakushima deer and Yakushima macaques while being comfortably rocked by the bus.
屋久島の地形や歴史…色々なお話をガイドさんに伺いながら観光が出来て、自分で勝手にうろちょろするより良い経験が出来ました。
分かった上で見て回るのと、知識があるのとではやっぱり違います。
楽ちんなバスに揺られてヤクシカやヤクザルも見れて大満足。

During my trip to Yakushima, which usually has about 80% rain, we were fortunate to have almost no rain and enjoyed good weather. Thank you. Although my body is still fatigued, I think it would have been much tougher if it had rained.
約8割雨の屋久島で、今回の旅行ではほとんど雨が降らず天候に恵まれました。ありがとうございました。身体の疲労はまだ回復してませんが、雨だったらもっと大変だったと思います。

We participated as a family of four with a 3rd-grade boy and a 6th-grade girl. Before we started, I was a bit worried about the children's stamina, but the guide considered the pace, and we were able to reach the goal safely. We were also fortunate not to be rained on, making it a wonderful memory. I'm grateful to the guide for being so kind and for helping us have a great time.
小3(男),小6(女)の子供と家族4人で参加しました。
始まる前は子供の体力に少し不安がありましたが、ガイドの方がペース配分を考えてくださり、無事にゴールまで行くことができました。
心配された雨にも降られることなく、最高の思い出となりました。
親切にしていただき、楽しい時間を過ごさせてもらったガイドさんに感謝です。

Although we applied as a team of two, we actually participated in a 10-hour trek with a team of seven plus a guide. The team was mostly in their twenties, and we had great conversations. The guide provided explanations and engaged in casual talks that made for a very enjoyable time. We also had dedicated time to take photos, which helped us create lasting memories! We learned about mountain rules, the history of Yakushima, and knowledge about Yakusugi, making it a very satisfying experience. I would love to come back to Yakushima to see Jomon Sugi again. Thank you!
2名での応募でしたが、実際には7人のチーム+ガイドさんという形で10時間のトレッキングに挑みました。
チームは20代ばかりで話も合い、ガイドさんもそれに合わせた説明や、雑談を行なってくださりとても楽しい時間を過ごさせてもらいました。
写真なども積極的に撮る時間を設けてくださり思い出が形になって残りました!
山のルールから、屋久島の歴史、屋久杉の知識まで教えてくださり大変満足な時間でした。
また、屋久島に縄文杉を見にきたいと思います。

The combination of the trolley path and mountain trail was a challenging 22 kilometers for someone like me who doesn't usually exercise. However, thanks to the appropriate breaks, photo opportunities, and explanations provided, I was able to keep going without giving up. As it was my first solo trip, I had many anxieties, but I was able to create plenty of memories thanks to the guide, who was like a dad at a sports day, capturing the best shots at each spot!
トロッコ道と山道あわせて22キロと、普段運動をしない身には過酷なコースでしたが、適度に休憩や写真撮影、説明を入れていただいたおかげで、根を上げることなく進めました。初めての1人旅で不安なことも多くありましたが、スポットごとでベストショット撮影いただいたおかげで思い出もたくさん残せました、運動会の時のお父さんみたいなガイドさんで素敵でした!

My husband and I took our first trip to Yakushima to see Jomon Sugi! Given our age (51 and 61), we were quite worried, so we decided to hire a dedicated guide. Our guide was a cool guy named Konaka (from now on, I'll refer to him as "Mr. Konaka" ... haha). My husband has various experiences, so he wasn't too worried, but I had no climbing experience and had just completed five days of work that included various activities right before the Jomon Sugi tour, so I was really concerned about my stamina. However, Mr. Konaka kept us engaged with fascinating stories about the surrounding history, the nature of Yakushima, and lots of information about small frogs, insects, moss, plants, and animals. It felt like we were tracking with a forest biology teacher, and I didn't feel weighed down at all. Along the way, he took many photos for us, and during lunch, we were treated to warm miso soup, thanks to Mr. Konaka, and we somehow made it to Jomon Sugi!!!
There were about 100 people on the deck...? It felt less about seeing Jomon Sugi and more about the happiness from the smiles of everyone there. Everyone was smiling, from the young people to those of us in our golden years, all feeling a sense of accomplishment as we went to meet Jomon Sugi. And guess what! That day, we were the 100th group of customers for Mr. Konaka's Jomon Sugi tour, so I was really glad we made it!
On the way back, I was thinking about ice cream as I hurried down, but I also cooled my feet in the river along the way. I realized that Mr. Konaka was thoughtfully observing the guests and considering detours based on their conditions.
More importantly, I want to share with those reading this that Mr. Konaka is truly amazing. What makes him so great is that on the way back along the tramway, we passed a family of four foreigners. The two daughters were walking ahead in the opposite direction without a guide, trying to climb on their own as it was getting late. Just as they were about to head down a suspicious side path, Mr. Konaka stopped them and asked, "Where are you going?" in English. (He speaks English... by the way, I do too, but I didn't mention that to him.) The father of that family looked puzzled and insisted, "It's fine! No problem!" However, Mr. Konaka didn't let it go and firmly said, "No, that's not right. It's dangerous to go that way at this time." The father replied, "No, it's fine! I'm quite confident!" At that moment, I thought to myself, "Huh? A professional guide is telling you this, and you're still insisting?!" But I kept watching Mr. Konaka.
In the midst of a somewhat tense atmosphere, Mr. Konaka persisted, asking, "Do you have a map? If you keep going this way at this time, you could get hurt." The father then showed his phone's map, pointing to a location that was indeed wrong. Mr. Konaka explained, "That's over here, so the direction you're heading is incorrect." The father looked puzzled for a moment but then checked the map again, realized his mistake, and said, "Oh... you're right. Thank you..." He confirmed that they would turn back to catch up with his daughters who had gone ahead, and we all descended together.
At that moment, I witnessed how Mr. Konaka's insistence and refusal to ignore that vulnerable family saved their lives.
I felt incredibly lucky to have been guided by such a super professional guide like Mr. Konaka! I hope to meet him again someday.
To everyone, I highly recommend hiring a guide if you don't have much climbing experience when visiting Jomon Sugi. If you're worried about inconveniencing others, please consider hiring a private guide! I'm sure it will be a fun trekking experience.
Thank you, Mr. Konaka! Take care until we meet again!
主人と二人で初の屋久島、縄文杉へ!初老の身体(当方51と61)にはあまりに心配で専属のガイドさんを付けて行く事にしました。ガイドさんは小仲さんというカッコいい感じのガイドさんでした。(以降「小仲先生」と呼びます...笑)主人は色々と経験があるので心配はしていなかったのですが、私が登山経験が皆無で更に直前まで既に5日間アクティビティーも含めた仕事をした後での縄文杉ツアーでしたので体力がもつかどうか心配で心配で。。。ですが小仲先生がずぅーーーーーーっと様々なお話しをして下さり、周辺の歴史から屋久島の自然のお話し、小さなカエルや昆虫や苔・植物・動物のお話し満載で全く気が重くならずにまるでフォレストバイオロジーの先生とトラッキングをしている感じでした。途中たくさん写真も撮って頂いたりランチ時はあったかいお味噌汁サービスもあったりと小仲先生のお陰でなんとか縄文杉へ到着!!!
デッキには100名くらいいらっしゃったのか...? あそこは縄文杉を見るというよりそこに居る人たちの笑顔で幸せになるとう感じがしました。みんなみんな笑顔で若い人も私たちの様な初老さんもみーんなニコニコ達成感のもと縄文杉様に会いに行く感じでした。
そして何と!その日は私達が小仲先生の縄文杉ツアー100組目のお客さんだったという事で何とか登れて本当に良かった〜!
帰りは私はアイスクリームの事を考えながらガンガン降りて行きましたが途中河原で足を冷やしたりと小仲先生も色々工夫してお客さんの様子を見て寄り道を考えて下さっているんだなぁと思いました。
それより私がここでこれを読む方にお知らせしたいのが、小仲先生は本当に素晴らしくて、何が素晴らしいかと言うと帰りのトロッコ道の途中で外国人の4人家族とすれ違いました。先に娘さん2人がどんどん私達とは逆方向へ歩いて行きました。夕方に差し掛かる時間なのにガイドさん無しで自分たちで登りに行こうとしている様子でした。そして道も横道の怪しい方向へ入ろうとしたところで小仲先生が「ストップ!どこにいくの?」と、もちろん英語で。(先生は英語ができます...ちなみに私もできるのでした...先生には言わなかったのですが)ですがそのファミリーのお父さんは怪訝な顔をして「大丈夫だよ!問題ないよ!」の一点張り。しかし小仲先生は放置する事なく「いや、そっちは違うよ、この時間からそっちに向かうのは危険だよ。」(もちろん英語で)お父さんは「いや、大丈夫だよ!(怪訝な顔のまま)私はかなり自信があるよ。」っと。。。ここで私は心の中で「はっあ〜?プロのガイドさんが言うとんのになんやこのオッサンは?!」と思っていましたが小仲先生を見守っておりました。半ば不穏な雰囲気が漂うなか小仲先生は食い下がる事なく「どこに行こうとしているか地図は?こんな時間にこれ以上このまま行ったら君たち死んじゃうよ。」っとはっきりおっしゃいました。それでそのお父さんは携帯のマップを見せて「ここだよ!」と指で示したところがやはり間違っていたのか小仲先生が「それはこっちだから今行こうとしている方は違いだよね。」っと。そのお父さんは一瞬また怪訝な顔をしたもののマップをもう一度確認して小仲さんんが指差すところを確認して自分が間違っている事にやっと気づき「あ、、、ほんとだ。どうも。。。」っと。先に進んでしまっている娘ちゃん達を追いますとの事で戻るという事を確認して私たちも下山しました。
あの時小仲先生が食い下がったり放置したりする事なくしっかりその無防備ファミリーに指摘した事で彼らは命拾いした瞬間を私は経験したのでした。
そんな超・プロフェッシャルガイドの小仲先生にガイドして頂きむちゃむちゃラッキーやん!と思った次第でした。またいつかお会いしたいです。
皆様、縄文杉は登山経験あまり無い方々はガイドさんを付けられる事をおすすめしますのと他に迷惑が心配な方はどうぞプライベートでガイドさんを付けられて下さい!きっと楽しいトレッキングになると思います。
小仲先生有り難うございました〜!また会う日までお元気で〜!

This was the perfect tour for exploring Yakushima without a rental car! The flying fish tempura for lunch was so delicious that it made me want to visit Yakushima again just for that. While there are buses in Yakushima, they don't run frequently, so it might be difficult to fully enjoy sightseeing unless you have plenty of time and a flexible schedule. I went from the Kanto region for a 2-night, 3-day trip, and I'm really glad I participated in this tour!
レンタカー無しで屋久島をまわるには最適なツアーでした!昼食のとびうおの唐揚げがとても美味しくて、それだけでもまた屋久島に行きたいと思うほど◎屋久島はバスもありますが、頻繁にあるわけじゃないので時間や日程に余裕がある方じゃないと十分に観光するのは難しいかもしれません。私は関東から2泊3日でいったのでこちらのツアーに参加して本当に良かったです♪

Overall, I felt the quality of the guide was low.
- Communication
The guide was more like a pace-setter walking ahead rather than a true guide. They provided explanations at key points, but the content was very superficial. It would have been better to walk alone and read the informational signs. I asked the guide several times about plants and nature, but they mumbled and evaded my questions. They were probably not a professional guide, but rather a seasonal worker for the summer.
- Photography
At the photo spots, the guide took commemorative photos with their smartphone. As a result, there was no time to take pictures with my own camera. This was likely to save time. At first, I thought it was convenient, but I was surprised when I received the photos on the way back. They were taken with an iPhone's portrait mode, and the important Yakusugi and Jomon Sugi were out of focus (laughs). I couldn't help but laugh. While it makes for a funny story, as mentioned earlier, I couldn't take any photos with my own smartphone. I should have at least taken pictures of my companions. The memories consist of countless blurry photos of Yakusugi (laughs). By the way, the composition of the photos was also disastrous. If you're mainly going for photography, I wouldn't recommend this tour.
- Overall Tour Guide Experience
It’s not that the guide I had was particularly bad. I encountered about ten guides, and all of them had strong personalities. There were various types, including an aggressive older man who pressured the tour participants and another older man who only spoke to young women. To be honest, considering personality, our guide who didn’t talk much seemed better. I want you to understand that it was that bad.
- Issues with the Tour
The tour participants all took the same bus to the trailhead, which had nearly 60 people on board. It’s easy to imagine what happens when they all start at the same time. Most guides maintain the same pace, so it becomes crowded no matter where you go. You can’t relax at the photo spots, and despite being in Yakushima, the situation is perpetually crowded. If that’s the case, it would be better to go alone to enjoy the true essence of Yakushima.
- In Summary
Be cautious when booking a guide. The website states "guide required," but that’s to be expected since the site is run by those involved in guiding. If you have about six hours of hiking experience, I think it’s fine to go alone. The trails are well-maintained and quite easy to navigate. I believe beginners should hire a guide. They did a great job managing the pace and successfully took all participants to Jomon Sugi. However, you shouldn’t expect more than that.
I don’t understand why this tour has such high ratings.
総じてガイドの質が低く感じた。
・コミュニケーション面
ガイドというよりは、先頭を歩いてくれるペースメーカー。要所要所で説明を挟んでくれるが内容があまりにも薄い。これなら1人で歩いて説明の看板を見た方がいい。植物や自然についてガイドに何度か質問したが、ごにょごにょ話して濁された。おそらく専門のガイドではなく夏だけのバイトなのだろ。
・写真撮影
撮影ポイントでは、ガイドさんのスマホで記念撮影をしてくれる。それゆえに自分のカメラで撮影する時間は無い。おそらく時間短縮なのだろう。最初は便利だと思ったが、撮影された写真を帰り際もらって驚いた。iPhoneのポートレートで写真撮影されていた。肝心の屋久杉や縄文杉がぼけているのである(笑)。さすがに笑ってしまった。笑い話にはなるが、先述したとおり自分のスマホでは撮れていない。これなら同行者の写真だけでも撮っておけばよかった。思い出の写真は、無数のボケた屋久杉の写真だった(笑)
ちなみに写真の構図も致命的だった。写真撮影メインで行くのならツアーはおすすめしない。
・ツアーガイド全体
私のあたったガイドがとくにハズレだったかというとそうでは無い。ガイド10人くらいと遭遇したが、全員癖が強い。オラオラ系でツアー客に圧をかけるおじさんや、若い女性にだけ話しかけるおじさんなど様々だった。正直なところ、性格面で見ればとくに話さない我々のガイドの方がマシに思えた。それくらい酷いということは承知して欲しい。
・ツアーによる弊害
ツアー参加者は同じバスで登山口まで行くわけだか、このバスには60人近くが登場している。これが同時にスタートするとどうなるかは容易に想像がつく。だいたいどのガイドも同じペースなのでどこに行っても人だらけになるのだ。撮影ポイントでもゆっくりできず、せっかくの屋久島なのに人だらけな状況が永遠に続く。これだったら単独で行った方が屋久島らしさを楽しめる。
・総じて
ガイドの申し込みは慎重に。サイトを見ると「ガイド必須」と書いてあるが、そのサイトの運営はだいたいガイド関係者なのだから当たり前だ。往復6時間程度の登山経験者だったら単独でいっても構わないと思う。登山道も整備されており相当登りやすかった。登山未経験者はガイドをつけるべきだと思う。ペース配分はさすがで、参加者全員を縄文杉まで連れて行っていたのは流石と言える。ただ、それ以上を期待してはいけない。
なんでこんなに評価が高いのか分からないツアーだった

It was amazing!
My group consisted of six people in their 20s and 30s, plus our guide.
The guide was friendly and checked in on our condition regularly.
Since it was a younger group, the walking pace was fast and it was tough, but it felt like they adjusted appropriately for each group.
In exchange, they allowed us some time at the end to dip our feet in the river as a form of icing! I really felt the difference in my legs afterward. (I wished I could have soaked up to my thighs... Walking dries you out, so I thought it might have been better to wet my sports tights by going into the river...)
The return bus time was fixed, so if we missed it, we would be left behind, but the guide planned everything well, and we made it back just in time at 16:45.
On this day (September 19), there were fewer people, which allowed us to spend more time at key spots and take fun photos!
Snacks are essential (I mostly ate on the way there. I didn't take much on the way back since I had a bento in my stomach!). Even if it's sunny, the area around Jomon Sugi can be windy and cold, which feels refreshing for a hot body, but it gets really cold during lunch, so rain gear is a must!
Quick-drying T-shirts are essential! The 6:00 departure this time was fine without a headlamp as it got bright enough. According to the guide, it's right on the edge of needing one or not.
You can fill your water bottle at more than five places (including the river), so if you bring a 500ml bottle of water and a 500ml sports drink, you can keep refilling as long as you don't mind the river water!
I drank over 2 liters during this hike (in September). There were only two proper toilets, but it was fine since I was sweating it out. There is also a portable toilet near Jomon Sugi, so having one portable toilet is a good idea.
The two toilets had toilet paper.
I thought about bringing work gloves, but there weren't many trees or rocks that would hurt my hands, so I managed without them (as long as you don't slip!).
There were wooden benches and stones at key rest spots where we could take a break. Unless it rains heavily, you might not need an umbrella or leisure sheet since you'll be covered by trees and leaves, but a folding umbrella is essential! Mountain weather can change suddenly!
Trekking poles are a must for those who aren't confident in their stamina! I borrowed one from the guide.
There might be a lot I haven't written about...
Let's try to keep our backpacks light and avoid bringing unnecessary items!
最高でした!
私のグループは20代から30代の6人+ガイドさん
ガイドさんがフレンドリーで体調も都度確認してくれました。
若めなグループだったせいか、歩くスピードが早くて大変でしたが、多分グループ毎に適切な対応を取ってくれている感じでした。
そのかわりアイシングがわりに川に足を入る時間を最後取ってくれたりしてくれました!後日、足の具合が全然違うのを実感してます。(太腿まで浸かりたかった...歩いていると乾燥するからスポーツタイツ濡らしても川にはいれば良かったかも...と後日)
帰りのバスの時間が決定しているので乗れなければ置いて行かれるので時間厳守ガイドさんがちゃんと予定を組んでいただき16:45ギリギリで帰って来れました。
今回(9/19)は人が少なかったお陰で要所滞在時間が取れて楽しく写真を撮れました!
行動食(私はほとんど行きで食べました。帰りはお弁当がお腹にあるのであまり取らなかった!)必須、晴れててもこの日の縄文杉付近は風が寒く熱った体には涼しいですが、お弁当中はすごく寒くなってしまうのでレインウェア必須!
速乾性のTシャツ必須!今回の6:00出発はヘッドライトなしで明るくなり大丈夫でした!ガイドさんが言うには丁度いるかいらないかの境目らしい。
水は五箇所以上(川を含め)でペットボトルに入れれるので、水ペット500㎖以上、スポーツドリンク500㎖合計2本ほど持っていけば川の水が気にならなければ、ずっと足して行けます!
私はこの登山中2ℓ以上は飲みました(9月で)。トイレは2ヶ所(ちゃんとした)しかなかったですが、汗で出て行って大丈夫でしたが、縄文杉付近で携帯用トイレを使えるトイレもあります。なので携帯用トイレ1つはあると良いです。
トイレ2ヶ所はトイレットペーパーあります。
軍手もと思ってましたが手を傷つけるような木や岩はあまりなく、素手で行けました(足を滑らせないことが前提で!)
要所で休憩スポット木のベンチや石があり休めました。大雨が降らない限り木と葉っぱで覆われて傘やレジャーシートはいらないかも、でも折りたたみ傘は必須!山の天気は急変します!
トレッキングポール、体力に自信がない人必須ですよー!私はガイドさんの借りていまいました。
書けてないことが色々ありそうですが...
なるべくいらない物は持って行かないようにリュックは軽く行きましょう!

We left the hotel at 4 AM, and the rain stopped partway, allowing us to see the beautiful stars in the night sky. Arriving at the Arakawa trailhead while it was still dark, we had our breakfast bento and set off before 6 AM. Among the tour participants, I was the oldest. With concerns about my back and knees, I joined the tour prepared to retire if I became a burden.
We proceeded along the long trolley track. The river was clear, and the morning sun was shining down, making it feel wonderful. I was worried about needing a restroom, so I brought a portable toilet, but I didn't end up using it. The guide provided thorough explanations about the restroom situation.
Finally, the steep ascent began. After walking for over two hours, I wondered if my legs could keep up. But I pushed myself to climb, as I had been training for this. After a good climb, the guide said that up to this point was just warm-up, and now the real challenge begins. We were told to push ourselves for three sets of five minutes with breaks in between, and everyone worked hard to keep up. If we could get through this, there would be plenty of sights to see, and the Jomon Sugi awaited us at the finish. We took breaks along the way and finally came face to face with the impressive Jomon Sugi! We admired it from various angles and took many photos.
Due to the guide's decision, we headed straight to Jomon Sugi without having lunch, allowing us to meet it when there were fewer people around. On the way back, we had our bento at a water source and enjoyed warm drinks. The guide took as many photos as we wanted and provided excellent explanations about Jomon Sugi, Yakusugi, and the formation of Yakushima. By the time we returned along the trolley track, it started pouring rain, but that too became a good memory. Thank you for the amazing experience. Thanks to everyone on the tour as well. I would love to visit Yakushima again and participate in another tour.
One thing… I was supposed to receive detailed departure time information the day before, but when it didn't come by night, I contacted them after 8 PM. Even while having dinner at the hotel and after my bath, I waited for the call, but I was informed of the departure time without any apology. That left me feeling disappointed.
朝4時ホテル出発、途中から雨が止んで、夜空の星がキレイに見えました。まだ暗い中、荒川登山口に到着。朝食のお弁当を食べ6時前に出発。ツアーの中では私が最年長。腰と膝に不安を抱えながら、迷惑をかけるようなら、リタイアも覚悟で参加しました。
長く続くトロッコ軌道を進みます。川が済んでいて朝日が降り注ぎとても気持ちがいいです。トイレも不安で携帯トイレを持って行きましたが使いませんでした。ガイドさんがトイレ事情もキチンと説明してくれます。
いよいよ急な上りが始まります。2時間強歩いた後に足が着いていくのか?でも根性で登ります。その為に筋トレを頑張ってきたのですから。いい登りだったなぁと思った後、ガイドさんから、ここまでは準備体操、ここからが本番です。5分×3セット、休みを入れるので5分は頑張って着いてくるよう言われ、皆必死になって頑張りました。ここさえ乗り切れば、後は見所もたくさんありますし、ゴールには縄文杉が待っています。所々で休憩を挟んで、感動の縄文杉にご対面!あらゆる角度から眺め、写真もたくさん撮って頂きました。
ガイドさんの判断で、昼食を取らずに縄文杉まで向かったので、人気が少ない内に縄文杉に会えました。帰りに水場があるところでお弁当を食べ、暖かい飲み物もご馳走になりました。写真を気が済むまで撮って下さり、縄文杉、屋久杉の説明から屋久島の成り立ち等々ガイドの内容も素晴らしかったです。帰りのトロッコ軌道の頃にはどしゃ降りの雨となってしまいましたが、それもいい思い出です。最高の経験をありがとうございました。ツアーの皆さまもありがとうございました。また屋久島に行ってツアーに参加したいです。
一つだけ…前日に詳しい出発時間の連絡が来る事になっていましたが、夜になっても来ないので、20時過ぎにこちらから連絡しました。ホテルでの食事中もお風呂の後も連絡を待っていたのに、詫びる事もなく出発時間を告げられました。それだけは残念な気持ちです。

This time, we were blessed with good weather and were able to fully enjoy Jomon Sugi and Shiratani Unsuikyo. On the first day at Jomon Sugi, we walked over 20 kilometers nonstop. There were many times when I felt like giving up, but looking around, I was able to enjoy the beautiful scenery, the pleasant air, and the delicious water, which made the experience less tiring. This time, we had a slightly larger group of eight people, including the guide, which fostered a sense of camaraderie and made it enjoyable to participate.
On the second day at Shiratani Unsuikyo, we started feeling the fatigue from the first day, but more than anything, I was able to walk while being healed by the scenery. It was a walk along the streams, feeling the love for Yakushima and the charm of old Japan from our guide.
Overall, it was a wonderful place just as I had imagined. I would like to visit again in a different season, and also on a drizzly day.
今回は天候に恵まれ、縄文杉と白谷雲水峡を堪能できました。1日目の縄文杉では20km以上をひたすらに歩きました。何度も心が折れましたが、周りを見れば素敵な風景や気持ちの良い空気や美味しいお水を頂いたりとそこまで疲労感なく過ごせました。今回はガイド含め8人とやや多めなパーティーでしたが、仲間意識も高まり楽しく参加できました。
2日目の白谷雲水峡では、1日目の疲れを感じながらのスタートでしたが、何よりも風景に癒されながら歩けました。ガイドさんから屋久島愛、古き良き日本を感じながらの沢歩きでした。
全体を通しても、思った通りの素敵な場所でした。また季節を変えて、あとシトシト雨の日にも行きたいと思いました。

The day before, we visited Jomon Sugi, and our guide made sure to engage us in enjoyable conversations to lift our tired spirits. The moss-covered forest we explored in the afternoon was stunning, especially with the beautiful play of light—it was truly moving. (We also visited the hot springs that appear during low tide at the time you advised us. It felt like it relieved the fatigue in my legs. How wonderful!)
前日 縄文杉に行き 体お疲れモードの私たちを 楽しく お話も前日から広がるように いろいろしてくださいました。
午後からの半日でついた 苔むす森は光の加減も素晴らしく 感動ものでした。
(教えていただいた 干潮の時間に干潮時に出てくる温泉にも行きました。足の疲れが取れた気がしました。不思議 !)

It took about four and a half hours to climb from the trailhead, and I finally reached the Jomon Sugi. Meeting the world's oldest Yakusugi was truly moving!
The guide was very kind, and we took some great photos at the scenic spots! They captured some wonderful angles for us!
During lunch, the guide treated us to miso soup, which was a great way to replenish the salt after sweating so much. This is definitely an experience worth having at least once in a lifetime!
登山口から登ること、約4時間半。目的の縄文杉にたどり着きました。世界最古の屋久杉とご対面でき、感慨ひとしおです!
ガイドの方がとても親切で、写真スポットでパシャリ! いいアングルでとっていただきました!
昼食時には、ガイドさんよりお味噌汁をごちそうになり、汗だくの身体にいい塩分補給になりました。
一生に一度は、体験したいですね~‼

Day 1: Jomon Sugi
The journey to Jomon Sugi was long, but I enjoyed walking while the guide provided explanations. If time allows on the way back, they adjust the pace to match the participants. Along the way, you can fully feel the vitality of nature. There is a beauty that cannot be expressed in photos.
Members: 5 people (1 guide, I participated with 1 other person)
Duration: About 10 hours (not including bus travel)
Notes: Additional bus fare is required.
Day 2: Shiratani Unsuikyo
We had a later departure than the previous day, allowing us time to enjoy breakfast at the hotel. I felt a bit tired from the previous day's activities. The moss-covered forest was, of course, mystical, but the sense of liberation I felt when climbing Taiko Rock left the strongest impression on me since I had already been walking in the forest the day before.
Members: 7 people (1 guide, I participated with 1 other person)
Duration: About 5 hours (not including bus travel)
Notes: There is an entrance fee for Shiratani Unsuikyo.
The sights I saw with my own feet left a deep memory along with a sense of accomplishment.
Thank you very much.
day1:縄文杉
縄文杉までの道のりは長かったですが、ガイドさんに解説いただきながら楽しく歩けました。帰りに間に合う範囲であれば、参加者に合わせたペースで案内してくれます。道中では自然の生命力を存分に感じることができます。写真では表現できない美しさがあります。
メンバー:5人 (ガイド1名、私は2名で参加)
所要時間:約10h (バスでの移動は含まず)
特記事項:別途バス代がかかります。
day2:白谷雲水峡
前日より遅い出発で、ホテルの朝食を楽しむ時間がありました。前日の疲れがあったため多少しんどかったです。苔むす森ももちろん神秘的ではありましたが、前日から森の中を歩き回っていたこともあり太鼓岩に登った時の開放感が1番印象に残っています。
メンバー:7人 (ガイド1名、私は2名で参加)
所要時間:約5hくらい (バスでの移動は含まず)
特記事項:白谷雲水峡に入る際にお金がかかります。
自分の足で歩いて目にした光景は、達成感と共に深く記憶に残りました。

Although there are local buses on Yakushima, their frequency is very low, making it impossible to get around without a rental car in a short amount of time. However, this tour was great because it covered hard-to-reach attractions on the island without a car. I was able to make the most of my day before my evening flight to Kagoshima. The guide shared many interesting insights that I wouldn't have known if I had explored on my own, making it both enjoyable and informative. When I participated, some roads were closed due to a typhoon, so we couldn't circle the island, but we were able to reach areas like the western forest road, which had been inaccessible just days before, and I got to see a group of Yakuzaru monkeys. The guide also took us on a 50-minute walk through Yakusugi Land, where the paths are well-maintained and you can see many cedar trees, which might be better than Shiratani Unsuikyo if you're short on time (there's a discount if you visit both Shiratani Unsuikyo and Yakusugi Land, so be sure to keep the ticket from the first one you visit).
For those returning to Kagoshima on the evening flight, if you plan to be dropped off at the airport after the tour, you might find yourself with some awkward downtime before your flight (the airport is small and lacks places to pass the time). However, the hotel right in front of the airport has a hot spring that accepts day-use visitors, so I recommend spending your last moments relaxing in the bath. It's clean and beautiful, and there’s a space to rest, similar to a super sento.
屋久島内は路線バスがあるものの本数がとても少なく、レンタカー無しで短時間であちこちを回るのは不可能なのですが、このツアーは島内の車無しでは回りにくい名所をポイントを抑えて回ってくれるのがとても良かったです。夜の鹿児島行の飛行機まで1日をとても有効に使えました。ガイドさんのお話も自分だけで回っていたらわからないようなことがたくさんで楽しくためになりました。自分が参加したときは台風の影響で一部道が通れず、島を一周というわけにはいかなかったのですが、数日前までは行けなかったらしい西部林道のあたりまで行くことができて、ヤクザルの群れも見ることができました。ガイドさんに案内されて50分ほどヤクスギランド内も歩きましたが、歩道が整備されてたくさんの杉の木が見られるので短時間の場合は白谷雲水峡よりも良いかもしれないと思います(白谷雲水峡とヤクスギランドは両方行くと割引があるので先に行った方の半券はなくさないように持っていってください)。
夜の飛行機で鹿児島に帰る方は、ツアー後空港で降ろしてもらう予定にしていると、飛行機の時間まで中途半端な時間ができてしまうのですが(空港は狭くて待ち時間を潰せるような場所がない)、空港目の前のホテルの温泉が日帰り入浴を受け入れているので最後にお風呂で過ごすのがおすすめです。清潔感があって綺麗ですし、スーパー銭湯的な感じで休憩できるスペースもありました。

We participated as a family. Around the Wilson stump, my mother decided that it would be tough to continue all the way to Jomon Sugi, so we suggested that she wait there while the rest of us either went to Jomon Sugi, turned back the same way, or climbed a little to the nature observation course and returned to the Wilson stump.
We decided to go to the nature observation course together, and there we were able to see many magnificent Yakusugi trees. Even though we didn't make it to Jomon Sugi, it was great that my mother could see the impressive Yakusugi trees as well.
During the journey, we talked about various things, which helped distract my mother, and she was very grateful for that. Thank you very much.
家族で参加させていただきました。
ウィルソン株を過ぎたあたりで母はこのまま縄文杉まで行くのは厳しいという判断になり、このままここで待っててもらい、残りの人で縄文杉まで行くか、みんなで同じ道を引き返すか、少しだけ登って自然観察コースへ行ってウィルソン株へ戻るかという選択肢を提案していただきました。
みんなで自然観察コースへ行くことにしましたがそこでたくさんの立派な屋久杉を見ることができました。縄文杉まで行かなくても母も一緒に立派な屋久杉を見られてよかったです。
道中も色々な話をしてくださり、母は気が紛れてとてもありがたかったそうです。
ありがとうございました。
Thank you very much for participating in our tour.
Although we couldn't reach Jomon Sugi, I am truly glad that we could guide you through a wonderful nature experience. I will also convey your message to the guide.
Yakushima still has a lot of beautiful nature, so please do visit us again when you have the opportunity.
Thank you.
この度は当社ツアーにご参加頂き誠にありがとうございました。

The weather was favorable, and I didn't have to wear rain gear even once. There were wooden bridges and stairs without handrails, so it's best to have proper equipment like hiking boots. Also, since you need to grab onto things while climbing, gloves are necessary.
There are many guides available, but I think they group participants based on their age and climbing experience. Since there were many older participants, we were able to climb at a slow pace, and everyone was able to make the round trip to Jomon Sugi without dropping out. Along the way, we took a lot of photos, and we got some great family pictures. Thank you very much.
お天気にも恵まれて、一度もレインウェアを着ることなかったです。手すりのない木の橋や階段があり、登山靴など装備はしっかりした方がいいです。また、掴めるものは掴んで登るのでグローブは必要です。
ガイドさんはたくさんおられますが、そのグループの参加者の年齢や登山経験など考えて、グループ分けされてガイドさんがつかれるのだと思います。年齢高めの人が多かったので、ゆっくりペースで登ってもらえたので、脱落することなく全員縄文杉まで往復できました。途中、たくさん写真も撮ってもらいました。良い家族写真が撮れました。ありがとうございました。

I had no mountain climbing experience and was anxious about participating alone, but the guide managed the pace and breaks appropriately, sharing stories about the plants and history along the way, which made the trekking enjoyable! Even as a solo participant, I bonded with others in the group while walking and chatting, and by the end, we became close enough to take a commemorative photo together! When I finally faced Jomon Sugi after walking for nearly five hours, I was moved as I reflected on its long history! The scenery along the way was beautiful, with the clear flow of the river, moss-covered trees, dripping droplets, and the miraculous sight of Yakushima deer; everything was captivating and energized me despite my fatigue. There were parts of the suspension bridge without handrails, which made me a bit anxious as someone with a fear of heights, but overcoming that made me feel a little stronger! At first, I thought the walking pace might be a bit fast, but thanks to that, I was able to take my time for photos with Jomon Sugi, and we had proper breaks, making for a well-paced itinerary! I participated in late August, and the trees were lush, providing plenty of shade, so I didn't have to worry much about sunburn. We could refill our water bottles with natural water from Yakushima several times along the way, which was helpful for wetting towels and staying hydrated. However, since some participants did retire along the way, I think it's best to join in good physical condition. I would like to challenge myself again!
登山経験が無く、1人参加だったため辿り着けるか不安でしたが、ガイドさんが適切にペース配分や休憩をとってくれて、道中で草木や歴史の話もしてもらいつつ、楽しんでトレッキングに参加できました!
1人参加でも同じグループの皆さんと歩きながら話しつつ絆が生まれ、最後には一緒に記念撮影する位仲良くなりました!5時間近く歩いて縄文杉と対面できた時は、長い歴史に思いを馳せて感動しました!!途中に見える景色はどれも美しく、清らかな川の流れ、苔むす木々や滴る雫、奇跡的に会えたヤクシカ、木陰から差す光まで、どれも魅力的で歩き疲れた私を元気づけてくれました。途中の吊り橋は手すりが無い場所もあって、高所恐怖症の私は少しうろたえましたが、それも乗り越えて少し強くなれた気がします!
最初は少し歩くペースが早いかも…と思いましたがおかげで縄文杉とゆっくり写真が撮れましたし、休憩もしっかりとって、メリハリある工程でした!8月下旬の参加でしたが、木々が生い茂り日陰が多く日焼けの心配もあまり無く、途中屋久島の天然水を何度か汲めるので、タオルを濡らしたり水補給が出来た事も助かりました。ただ途中リタイアされた方もいた為、やはり健脚で健康な状態での参加が望ましいかと思います。私ももう一回位チャレンジしたいです!

Since my flight on the last day was in the afternoon, I signed up for a half-day tour in the morning. I was grateful that I could book it the day before. I don't think I would have been able to explore as efficiently if I had rented a car myself.
On the other hand, there were two disappointing points.
1. As a solo participant, I had to pay for two seats, making the tour more expensive than for two participants. However, there were quite a few empty seats on the bus, and those who were part of a two-person group were comfortably sitting with two seats each. It felt a bit like I was being scammed with the solo participant surcharge.
2. Due to the recent typhoon, the bridge over the Seibu Forest Road was washed away, resulting in significant changes to the course. I hope for a swift recovery for the locals, as their lives must be inconvenient. However, I think it would have been good if the tour course details had been updated as well. I was looking forward to the beach, so it was disappointing.
最終日のフライトが午後便だったので、午前半日ツアーを申し込みました。前日申込できたのでありがたかったです。自分でレンタカーを借りていたら、こんなに効率的に周れなかったと思います。
一方、残念だった点が2つ。
①一人参加は2シート利用ということで、二人参加よりも高額なツアー料金でしたが、バスは空き席がかなりあり、2名参加の方も一人2シート使って悠々と座っていたこと。一人参加の割増料金の意味って・・・若干詐欺にあったような気分です。
②先日の台風で西武林道に架かる橋が流されたとのことでコースが大きく変更になっていました。地元の方の生活も不便でしょうし一日も早い復興をお祈りします。ただ、ツアーコースの記載内容も変更されていたら良いと思いました。ビーチ楽しみにしていたので残念です。

I persuaded my daughter to participate. I wasn't confident in my physical strength, so I was considering retiring if necessary, but I still really wanted to see Jomon Sugi. The guide told us that once we reached the end of the trolley path and started climbing, if we couldn't go together, we should retire and head back. I was informed that there wouldn't be a bus after 5 PM. I couldn't keep up with everyone and dropped out at Wilson Stump, but my daughter suggested that since we were already there, we should go to Jomon Sugi together. We took photos at Jomon Sugi and then returned to the entrance of the trolley path where the guide was, and we walked back to the trailhead together, but it wasn't even 4:30 yet. I felt rushed and had a very unpleasant experience.
娘を説得して参加しました。
体力に自信がないのでリタイヤもありで
それでもやっぱり縄文杉を見てみたいと言う思いでした。

I found a tour that goes to Shiratani Unsuikyo for just half a day, starting in the afternoon, since my flight arrived in Yakushima before noon! Most tours start early in the morning, but this one began at noon and the trekking itself took just a little over three hours. I was able to return in the evening. I had a Jomon Sugi tour scheduled for the next day, so it was a great way to warm up my legs.
昼前に屋久島に着く飛行機だったので、午後開始で半日だけで白谷雲水峡に行けるツアーを探していて見つけました!
朝早いツアーが多いですが、昼スタートでトレッキング自体は3時間ちょっと。夕方には帰ってこれました。
翌日に縄文杉ツアーを入れていたので、いい足慣らしができました。

It was a long 10-hour journey, and I had to be mindful of things like early morning starts and restroom breaks along the way. However, for those who regularly hike or trek, the path was mostly gentle with wooden planks laid out, and the pace of the trek itself was slow. As a result, there was almost no damage during or after the hike, making it an enjoyable trekking experience. Thank you very much.
10時間という長丁場で、早朝からの始動と道中のトイレなどは気をつかいますが、それ以外は日頃、登山やトレッキングをしている人であれば木を敷き詰めた優しい道中がほとんどであり、またトレッキング自体のペースもゆっくりなので、登山中や登山後もダメージがほぼない楽しいトレッキングでした。

I'm glad to hear that your whole family made it to Jomon Sugi and returned safely.
I can still picture your two elementary school children walking attentively along the long trolley path, and once you started climbing the mountain, they walked energetically like fish in water.
I hope this experience contributes to their physical fitness and becomes a cherished memory. Would you like to climb Mount Miyanoura or Mount Taicho someday?
