Before moving to another prefecture from Kagoshima, we went to Yakushima to create some memories. My youngest child is in elementary school, and I applied for a guide with the mindset that if it didn't work out, I would just have to accept it. As expected, from quite early on, my child was in full "I don't want to walk" mode. I thought the Jomon Sugi would be impossible.
However, the guide was amazing. Not only did he share a wealth of knowledge, but he also encouraged the kids, held their hands, and calculated just how long we could rest. I never realized that being a mountain guide required such physical strength, intelligence, and kindness. I truly respected him.
In the end, we were able to see the Jomon Sugi, and despite crying a lot, my child managed to reach the goal on their own feet. As a family, we were more moved by the guide's performance than by seeing the Jomon Sugi. The kids loved him so much that they said they wanted to go back to Yakushima to see him again. It became a wonderful memory.
The children seemed to find the tramway path much tougher than the mountain trails. It's strange that while adults find the unmarked paths and stairs more challenging, the kids prefer those paths and climb them with ease.
鹿児島から他県に引越す前に屋久島に思い出作りに行きました。1番下の子は低学年の小学生。無理なら残念だけどあきらめるつもりでガイドを申し込みました。案の定、かなり序盤から歩きたくないモード全開。縄文杉は無理だなと思っていました。
しかし、ガイドさんが素晴らしく、いろんな知識を披露してくれるだけでなく、子ども達を励ましてくれて、手を繋いでくれて、ギリギリどのくらいなら休憩してていいのか計算してくれて…。山岳ガイドがこんなに体力と知力と優しさが必要な職業だとは思わず、本当にただただ尊敬しました。
結果、縄文杉に出会えて、ボロボロに泣きながらも子どもも自分の足でゴールできました。家族みんな縄文杉を見たことよりも、ガイドさんの仕事ぶりの方に感動しました。子ども達もガイドさんに会いにまた屋久島に行きたいと言うほど、大好きになりました。すごくいい思い出になりました。
子どもは登山の道より、断然トロッコ道の方がきつそうでした。大人は道なき道や階段の方がきついのに、子どもはそんな道の方が好きでサクサク登って行くのは不思議でした。

Thanks to our guide's attentiveness, we were able to take a lot of photos and enjoy a pleasant climb. However, while the group members were nice, the age differences led to a rather leisurely pace, which was a bit disappointing. (Since I don't usually hike, this might be due to the pre-trip categorization.) There were fewer detours compared to other groups, and sometimes those with more stamina were placed at the back, making it hard to hear the explanations. I think it would have been better to be with others in their 20s. That said, it was definitely better than struggling and feeling rushed while climbing, and I believe we were able to conserve our energy for sightseeing.
ガイドさんが色々と気にかけてくださったおかげで、写真もたくさん撮れ、気持ちよく登ることができました。
ただ、グループのメンバーが人柄は良かったのですが、年齢層が異なりかなりゆったり目の登山となってしまったのが少し残念でした。
(普段登山をしないので、事前申告での振り分けかもしれません。)
他のグループよりも寄り道が少なかったり、体力がある人が後ろに回されるので解説が聞こえないこともあったため、同じ20代同士が良かったなと思いました。
辛い思いをして焦りながら登るよりはずっといいですし、観光に体力を回せたと考えます。

I was anxious about whether I could reach Jomon Sugi, but with breaks and various explanations along the way, I was able to enjoy the walk and take many photos. The long and challenging trolley path with similar scenery was tough, but the knowledgeable guide's stories were interesting, which kept me engaged. Thanks to the guidance, I learned a lot about not only Jomon Sugi but also other attractions of Yakushima.
I researched appropriate hiking attire and wore clothes that were easy to move in and breathable. Since I would be sweating and needed stamina, I was glad I did my research beforehand. The weather changed frequently, with rain coming and going, so the rented hiking boots, raincoat, and backpack with a cover were very helpful.
After arriving in Yakushima, both the person delivering the rental items and the guide provided detailed explanations over the phone about the schedule and what to bring, which allowed me to spend two days in Yakushima with peace of mind.
縄文杉までたどり着けるか不安でしたが、休憩を挟んだり、色々な説明をしたりして進んでくださり、写真を沢山撮ってくださったりして、楽しく歩ききることができました。似たような景色が続くトロッコ道がとても長く大変でしたが、知識豊富なガイドさんの話が面白く、飽きずに歩くことができました。案内していただいたことで、縄文杉だけで無く、その他の屋久島の魅力をたくさん知ることができたので良かったです。
服装は登山の服装を調べ、動きやすく通気性の良い服装で行きました。汗をかくのと、体力が必要なので、調べてから行って良かったです。天気がよく変わって雨も降ったり止んだりしていたので、レンタルした登山靴やレインコート、カバー付きのリュックが役に立ちました。
屋久島に着いてから、レンタル品を届けてくださる方もガイドの方も、日時や持ち物などの詳細を電話で丁寧に説明してくださったので、2日間安心して屋久島で過ごすことができました。

I decided to travel to Yakushima right after the typhoon passed, and although it was only half a day, I was looking forward to it. Due to landslides, I couldn't go around the island, but I was glad to see the impressive waterfalls up close. I was also happy to unexpectedly see the Yakuzaru. When the departure point for Toppy was changed due to driftwood, they kindly took me to the port since it was nearby. I was very grateful for their help.
台風通過直後に屋久島への旅を決行して、半日でしたが楽しみにしていました。
土砂崩れで道が寸断され、島一周は叶いませんでしたが、迫力のある滝を間近に見る事ができて良かったです。偶然にもヤクザルにも見る事も叶い嬉しかったです。

On the day of the visit, heavy rain made the Shiratani Unsuikyo area inaccessible. Instead, we went to the Yayoi Sugi course. The guide had explained the change in plans due to the heavy rain in advance, so it was accepted without any issues. Yakushima is said to have "35 days of rain in a month," so avoiding rain might not be possible. We can't complain about the natural environment. The Yayoi Sugi course also offered a wonderful world of spirits with its walking paths, streams, and moss-covered forests. I was slightly limping from the trekking the day before, but the guide helped by walking slowly while explaining the scenery. Thank you very much.
当日は大雨で予定していた白谷雲水峡は通行禁止でした。
代わりに弥生杉コースになりました。
大雨の時の予定変更は、ガイドの方から事前に説明があったので問題なく受け入れられました。
屋久島は“1カ月で35日雨が降る”といわれているので雨は避けて通れないかもしれません。自然環境に文句は言えません。
弥生杉コースも遊歩道、渓流、苔むす森など素敵なもののけの世界でした。
前日のトレッキングで少々足を引きずっていましたが、ガイドさんが景色を説明しながらユックリと歩いて下さり助かりました。ありがとうございました。

I received two confirmation calls beforehand, which made me feel at ease for the day of participation.
It rained a little, but it wasn't enough to put on rain gear, which made me realize how the weather is in Yakushima.
I took the shuttle bus near the airport around 4:30, stopped by a bento shop along the way, and arrived at the trailhead around 5:20.
After eating my breakfast bento, I started the hike at 5:50. The bento was prepared individually from the hotel, the bento shop, or the supermarket.
There were three groups participating, and we had a total of seven people, including the guide, for the trekking.
I have a fear of heights, and the bridge without handrails was a challenge, but I was able to cross it easily by holding onto the guide's backpack. I didn't have to retire, and I'm grateful to the guide.
The guide's explanations were easy to understand, and the conversation was enjoyable. We also got to take many wonderful photos.
When we reached Jomon Sugi, all my fatigue disappeared, and I was moved. Everyone had such wonderful smiles.
I highly recommend doing the Jomon Sugi trekking with a guide for first-timers. I think it will be many times more enjoyable and moving.

We made a reservation for a group of four in our 20s. None of us had any serious mountain climbing or trekking experience, but thanks to our guide, we had a very enjoyable and comfortable two days of climbing!
As beginners, we were greatly helped by having a guide who managed the pace and introduced the routes. The trekking routes themselves were easy to understand, but information like "It's tough for the next xx minutes, but it will be flat after that" and "The next restroom is xx minutes ahead" was extremely helpful. I definitely recommend participating in the tour for first-timers.
Additionally, our guide kept the atmosphere lively with quizzes and games during the tour, making the challenging trails enjoyable to walk. They introduced us to the history at various points and took many wonderful photos at the photo spots. Other guides also greeted us and interacted with us whenever we passed by, creating a very friendly atmosphere for trekking.
20代4人グループで予約させていただきました。全員本格的な登山・トレッキング経験はなかったのですが、ガイドさんのおかげで2日間とも、とても楽しく快適に登れました!
初心者なので、ペース配分やルート紹介をしてくださるガイドさんがいてくれて大変助かりました。トレッキングルート自体はわかりやすいのですが、「あとxx分大変ですが、そのあと平坦になります」や、「次のトイレはxx分先です」といった情報が大変助かりました。初めての方は絶対ツアーの参加をお勧めします。
また、ガイドさんがツアー中クイズやゲームで場を盛り上げてくださって、きつい登山道も楽しく歩けました。様々なポイントで歴史等を紹介してくださったり、フォトスポットでは素敵な写真をたくさん撮影いただけました。
他ガイドさんもすれ違う度に挨拶してくださったり、絡んでくださってとても和やかな雰囲気でトレッキングを楽しめました。

I have almost no mountain climbing experience and am not very active, so this course was quite tough for me. It's not a place to approach with a casual walking mindset, and I recommend that those who don't exercise much prepare their stamina in advance. However, the scenery was amazing, and the guide was very nice. The moss was also incredibly beautiful, and I'm glad I came.
登山経験ほぼなし、運動不足の私には、かなりきついコースでした。散歩感覚では行ってはいけないところだし、普段あまり運動しない方は事前に体力作りをすることをお勧めします。ただ、景色は最高でしたし、ガイドさんもとてもいい方でした。苔もとってもきれいで、来てよかったです。

I requested a private guide for this tour and was extremely satisfied! I was worried about walking a long distance, but the guide continuously shared various stories about Yakushima's history, geography, and flora and fauna while we walked. They were very articulate, making the long hiking trail feel shorter. The pace of walking and rest points were thoughtfully considered based on our condition, and of course, at the highlights, the guide provided thorough explanations and took plenty of photos, which made me very happy. Towards the end, we had some extra time, so being able to rest with our feet in the river became an unforgettable memory. There are many guided tours available, but with larger groups, it's hard to hear the stories while walking, and the pace tends to get disrupted. Therefore, even though the price is a bit higher, I’m really glad I chose this tour with a private guide, as it’s not a place you can visit many times in a lifetime.
こちらのツアーで専属ガイドでお願いしましたが大満足でした!長い距離を歩けるか不安でしたが、歩きながらもいろいろな屋久島の歴史や地理、動植物の話を終始してくださり、とても話上手だったので長い長い登山道も短く感じことができました。歩くペースや休憩のポイントなども私達の状態を見ながら無理なく考え、もちろん見どころポイントではしっかり説明していただき写真もたくさん撮っていただき大満足です。最後のほうでは時間に余裕があったので川に足をつけながら休憩ができたのも忘れられない思い出です。多くのガイドツアーがありますが人数が多いとやはり歩きながらの話は聞こえませんし、ペースも乱れがちになりますので、料金は多少高くとも一生に何度もこれる場所ではないのでこちらのツアーで専属ガイドでお願いして本当によかったです。
Thank you for participating in our tour.
I am very pleased to hear that you enjoyed the nature of Yakushima along with the guide's explanations.
Even when walking in the same place, the enjoyment can change significantly depending on how you spend your time and the experiences along the way, so I’m truly glad that our purpose was effectively communicated.
It's not a place you can visit often, but please do reach out if you come to Yakushima again.
Thank you for visiting the island.

I had planned to arrive in Yakushima in the early afternoon, so I booked a guided tour that would allow me to explore conveniently and efficiently. During the travel time, the guide shared various insights about Yakushima, and we were able to visit Yakusugi Land and the Jomon Sugi efficiently. The shuttle service to our accommodation was also a great help! At Yakusugi Land, the guide led us and provided directions, allowing us to enjoy the sights without wasting any time.
On the way, the bus's air conditioning stopped working, and we had to switch to another bus, but their response was quick, which I appreciated!
昼過ぎに屋久島に着く予定だった為、便利で効率的にまわれるガイドツアーを予約しました。移動時間もガイドさんが色々と屋久島の知識を教えてくれて、ヤクスギランドと紀元杉を効率的に回ることができ、宿までの送迎もあって大変助かりました!ヤクスギランドでも案内や順路を先導してもらって、無駄なく楽しく見ることができました。

This was my first time visiting Yakushima, and I heard that I couldn't miss Jomon Sugi, so I signed up for a trekking tour to see it. I have little mountain climbing experience and don't exercise much, so I was a bit anxious. On the day of the tour, the weather was good in the morning, but it started to rain in the afternoon, making the stones and wooden planks on the trail slippery. We took breaks at several points while climbing up and down. The guide took photos for us. The feeling of seeing the majestic Jomon Sugi at the summit is unforgettable.
I especially received a lot of energy from our guide, Mr. Nakaba. He walked lightly and sometimes sang songs, sharing stories about Yakushima as we walked. I wondered how he had so much energy. During lunch, he also made instant miso soup for us. Surrounded by the beautiful nature of the forest, with the sound of a stream nearby and gentle rain falling from the sky, it was an indescribably luxurious time.
Thank you, Mr. Nakaba. I hope to bring my son along for a Jomon Sugi trekking tour someday and introduce him to you! ^_^
屋久島は初めてで、行ったからには縄文杉は外せないと聞いたので、縄文杉のトレッキングツアーを申し込みました。登山経験は少なく、普段もあまり運動していないので、少々不安はありました。当日は午前、天候が良かったものの午後は雨が降ってきて、石とかトロコ道の木の板が滑りやすかったです。途中で何ヶ所休憩を取りながら登り降りしました。ガイドさんは写真も撮って頂きます。やっぱり山頂の縄文杉の神々しい姿を見た感動は忘れられません。
特にガイドさんの中馬さんにはすごく元気を頂きました、足取りが軽やかな上に時には歌を歌ったり、歩きながら屋久島に関するお話をしたり、なんであんなにパワーのある方だなと思いました。お弁当の時間に即席味噌汁も作って頂き、美しい大自然の森の中、そばに沢の水が流れていて、空からしとしと小雨が降り注いで、何とも言えない贅沢な時間でした。

Since none of my friends, including myself, had much experience with trekking or climbing, we decided to book a tour. When we arrived at the site, we noticed many people without guides, but I’m glad we had one.
★ Highlights of the tour
- You can learn about the highlights without any prior preparation or being passive.
└ The well-maintained mountain paths made it easy to reach Jomon Sugi without getting lost. It was great to learn about the points of interest and trivia along the course besides just the goal of Jomon Sugi. We also received tips on how to take great photos. Since we were a relatively young group, we made some detours on the way back, but if you’re on your own, there wouldn’t be many options other than the designated route.
- The timing of breaks was well managed.
└ This was the biggest advantage for beginners like us. We could aim for Jomon Sugi with peace of mind.
- You can arrange for trekking shoes and backpacks as well.
└ There are several rental shops in Yakushima, but being able to arrange everything in advance is convenient and reassuring. I think many accommodations in Yakushima can provide lunch boxes, but it’s nice to have that as an option. (We ate the lunch boxes from our accommodation, so we didn’t choose that option.)
Our guide was friendly and great at chatting, which made the experience enjoyable. Although we didn’t opt for a private tour due to budget concerns, we created wonderful memories with the entire group we climbed with.
友人含めて全員運動習慣のあまりないトレッキング・登山未経験ということもあり、ツアーを予約しました。実際現地にいくとガイドさんをつけていない方もたくさんいらっしゃいましたが、つけて良かったと思っています。
★ツアーの良かったところ
・予習なし・受け身でも見どころなどを教えてもらえる
└基本的に整備された山道で迷わず縄文杉にたどり着けます。ただし、ゴールの縄文杉以外のコース上の見どころ・豆知識などを教えてもらえてよかったです。映える写真の取り方も教えてもらいました。比較的若者グループだったので帰りは寄り道もしましたが、個人だけだと決まったルートで帰る以外の選択肢はなかったです。
・休憩のタイミングなど見計らってもらえる
└素人にとってはこれが一番大きかったです。安心して縄文杉目指せました
・トレッキングシューズ、ザックなどもあわせて手配できる
└屋久島にはレンタルショップが複数ありますが、事前に合わせて手配できるのは楽だし安心感もあります。お弁当は屋久島の多くの宿で手配できると思いますが、オプションとして選べるのもいいですね。(私たちは宿のお弁当を食べたのでオプションではつけていません)
ガイドさんも気さくでおしゃべり上手で楽しかったです。お財布を気にして貸切ツアーにしませんでしたが、一緒に登ったグループ全体でいい思い出が作れました。

The trekking to Jomon Sugi is filled with many highlights along the way, such as Wilson's Stump, the Great Cedar, and the Couple Cedar. There are also points where you can touch Yakusugi, allowing you to experience the grandeur of nature through sight, smell, and touch. The guide's explanations are very clear, and with descriptions at each point, you can enjoy a fun trekking experience without missing anything. Since this area receives a lot of rain, rain gear is essential. It's best to prepare sturdy rain gear for hiking or rent hiking equipment. The hiking trails were steeper than I expected, so having trekking shoes and hiking socks that suit you can help reduce fatigue.
縄文杉を目的地としたトレッキングですが、ウィルソン株や大王杉、夫婦杉など道中の見所が多いです。
屋久杉に触れることができるポイントもあり、自然の雄大さを視覚、嗅覚、接触で感じることができました。
ガイドさんの解説がとてもわかりやすく、ポイントごとに説明があるので見落としなく楽しいトレッキングができます。
雨が多い地域なので雨具は必須です。登山用のしっかりとした雨具を用意するか登山用具をレンタルしましょう。
道中の登山道は思ったより険しかったので自分に合ったトレッキングシューズと登山用靴下があると疲れにくいかなと思いました。

The one-way distance of 11 kilometers includes 8.5 kilometers of an easy-to-walk trolley path, while the remaining 2.5 kilometers is a challenging mountain trail with rocks and tree roots. However, personally, I found it less strenuous than I expected. Just be cautious as there are many slippery areas. The guide provides thorough instructions.
The items listed in the email sent beforehand included various suggestions, but it's best to minimize your luggage as much as possible. There are several water stations, so I think one bottle of water will suffice. However, since I went in the middle of summer, it's advisable to bring something for salt replenishment.
Along the way, the guide shared various insights, including stories about Yakusugi trees, the forest's plants and animals, and a terrifying accident that occurred in the past. The guide was very friendly, and I had a great time.
片道11キロの内8.5キロはトロッコ道で歩きやすく、2.5キロは岩と木の根の歩きづらい登山道でしたが、個人的には思っていたよりもつらくありませんでした。
ただ滑りやすいところが多いので注意が必要です。ガイドさんが丁寧に教えてくれます。
事前にメールで送られてきた持ち物には色々と書かれていましたができるだけ荷物は減らした方がいいです。給水所がいくつもあるので水分はペットボトル1本で足りると思います。ただ私が行ったのが真夏ということもありますが、塩分補給できるものは持って行った方がいいです。
道中ガイドさんにさまざまなことを教えていただきました。屋久杉のお話や森の植物や動物のお話、以前起こった恐ろしい事故のお話。とてもフレンドリーなガイドさんで楽しく過ごさせていただきました。

I was sore from the Jomon Sugi trekking the day before, but I enjoyed the bus tour as it efficiently took us around Yakushima. The bus guide, Ayumi Otsuka, shared stories that enhanced the tour experience with great pacing. Thank you very much.
*Note: The road to the Western Forest Road was closed due to the impact of Typhoon No. 6.*
前日の縄文杉トレッキングで身体がバキバキでしたが、バスツアーで屋久島を効率良く周遊してくれるので楽しめました。
バスガイドの大塚あゆみさんのお話しがテンポよくツアーの良さを更に引き出してくれてました。
ありがとうございました。

I participated with my elementary school daughter. Since we are city kids and have never done any hiking, I was worried, but thanks to our guide, we were able to safely reach the moss-covered forest. I was really happy that we could take a lot of photos and create many memories with my daughter in the beautiful scenery of Yakushima.
There are many water spots and muddy areas, and since we walked for over three hours, our sneakers got quite wet. There are also many slippery places, so I think trekking shoes are essential for children. Although it is cool in the forest, you will sweat a lot in the summer, so I recommend bringing plenty of water.
小学生の娘と2人で参加しました。登山などしたことがない都会っ子なので心配でしたが、ガイドさんのおかげで、苔むす森まで無事に行ってくることができました。
写真をたくさん撮ってくださり、屋久島らしい風景の中、娘との思い出をいっぱい残せたのが嬉しかったです。
水場やぬかるんでいる場所が多く、3時間以上歩くので、スニーカーだとかなり濡れてしまいます。滑りやすい場所も多いので、お子さんにもトレッキングシューズが必須かと思います。また、森の中は涼しいとはいえ夏はびっしょり汗をかくので、水は多めに用意するのがおすすめです。

I had a sudden back injury right before my trip, so I switched from kayaking to the Yakusugi Land tour. Two days ago, I visited Yakusugi Land with a private guide, but I thought it would still be fun to go again, so I made a reservation.
As expected, having a bus guide's explanations deepened my understanding of Yakushima. Additionally, the photos taken were absolutely wonderful, and I was able to create many great memories. Yakusugi Land is a place worth visiting multiple times.
Thank you for the enjoyable tour!
ぎっくり腰を直前に患い、カヤックからヤクザル号ツアーに変更致しました。
2日前に貸切ガイドさんとヤクスギランドには訪れましたが、2度目でも楽しいかなぁ、と予約致しました。
やはり、バスガイドさんの説明があるとより屋久島への理解が深まりましたね。また、御写真撮りが大変素晴らしく、良い記念が沢山作れました。ヤクスギランドは、何度も行っても良い所でした。
楽しいツアー有難うございました

It was my first time trekking, but thanks to the guides' interesting explanations and quizzes, I had a lot of fun climbing! Of course, since it was trekking, there were moments when I thought it was tough on my body, but the sense of accomplishment when I reached the top was truly amazing! I almost forgot about the pain in my body.
This is definitely a place I recommend everyone to visit at least once in their lifetime! ✨
I'm also grateful to the guides for taking wonderful photos!
Thank you so much!!!
初めてのトレッキングでしたが、ガイドさんたちの面白い説明やクイズなどで、とても楽しく登ることができました!もちろんトレッキングなので、体がつらい!!と思うこともありましたが、登りきったときの達成感は本当にすごいです!体の痛みを忘れるくらいでした
一生に一度はぜひ行ってもらいたい場所です✨
写真もガイドさんにステキに撮っていただいて感謝です!
本当にありがとうございました!!!

The guide provided insights into the features of Yakushima and the highlights of the places we visited, which deepened my understanding. Although the western forest road was closed after the typhoon, the alternative plan went smoothly. The bus guide and driver responded calmly and accurately to the road closures ahead of schedule and the bus's air conditioning malfunction. I also enjoyed the flying fish for lunch.
ガイドさんが屋久島の特徴、立ち寄った先の見どころを教えてくださり、理解が深まりました。台風の後で西部林道が通行不可になっていましたが、代替プランもスムーズでした。予定より手前での通行止や、バスの空調の故障にも、バスガイドさん、運転手さんとも冷静かつ的確に対応されていました。お昼のトビウオも美味しくいただきました。

We took a leisurely bus ride around the island from our accommodation in Miyano-ura to the souvenir shop near Miyano-ura Port. I think you could also go by rental car, but it was nice to relax and listen to the guide's stories. The Chihiro Falls and the Okawa Falls have impressive rock formations. I highly recommend seeing them when you visit Yakushima.
On the day of our participation, we were flying back, but the souvenir shop at the airport was small and expensive, so it was great to get off the bus in Miyano-ura and choose from a variety of souvenirs in a larger store. The guide also talked about Yakushima souvenirs on the bus, which was helpful. We wanted to take our time looking at souvenirs, so we took the local bus to the airport, but if you prefer, you can also get off at the airport to match the afternoon tour schedule. If you don't have much time before your flight, that would be a better option.
宮之浦の宿泊場所から宮之浦港近くのお土産屋さんの前まで島をぐるりと一周しました。
レンタカーでも行けると思いますが、ガイドさんの話を聞きながらのんびりバスに乗られてよかったです。
千尋の滝も大川の滝も岩が迫力あります。屋久島に行ったらぜひ見てほしいです。
参加日は飛行機で帰る日でしたが、空港のお土産売場は狭くて高かったので宮之浦でバスを降りてお土産を広い店でいろいろ選べてよかったです。ガイドさんがバス車内で屋久島土産の話もされていたので参考になりました。私達はゆっくりお土産を見たかったので路線バスで空港に行きましたが、希望すれば午後ツアーの時間に合わせて空港で降りることも可能でした。飛行機の時間に余裕がなかったらそちらの方がよいと思います。

Due to scheduling conflicts, I participated in the afternoon and morning tours on separate days. The afternoon tour included only Yakusugi Land and the Jomon Sugi, but it seemed like a challenging drive to get there by rental car due to the high elevation and narrow mountain roads, so I was glad to take the bus.
At Yakusugi Land, I walked slowly on the 30-minute course while listening to explanations. It was perfect for a preview since I had planned to go trekking the next day. It had rained in the morning, so the moss was sparkling with water droplets, making it beautiful.
スケジュールの都合で午後と午前の各ツアーを別日に参加しました。
午後ツアーはヤクスギランドと紀元杉のみですが、標高が高く狭い山道でレンタカーで行くのは大変そうな道だったのでバスに乗ってよかったです。
ヤクスギランドは30分コースを説明を聞きながらゆっくり歩きました。翌日トレッキング予定だったので予習に丁度良かったです。
その日は朝に雨が降っていたので苔に水滴がつきキラキラして綺麗でした。

It seems they grouped us into small teams of the same age and gender, ensuring there were no significant differences in physical ability. We were able to enjoy ourselves at a good pace without getting too tired.
少人数の同じ年代/性別で1グループとし、体力的にムラがないように組んでくれていたようです。疲れすぎず良いペースで楽しめました

I chose a dedicated tour for my first trekking experience in Yakushima because I wasn't confident in my physical strength. Our guide, Fujiyama, kindly said, "Let's take it slow and not rush," and shared enjoyable stories about the moss and flowers while taking photos for us. We enjoyed a leisurely pace and the experience of forest bathing.
The view from Taiko Rock was amazing and will be a lifelong memory! Thank you! ✨
初屋久島トレッキング。体力に自信がないため専任ツアーを選びました。ガイドのフジヤマさんは、「焦らず、ゆっくり行きましょう」とおっしゃってくださり、苔や草花など楽しくお話をしてくださったり、写真も撮っていただきながら、ゆったりペースで森林浴を楽しみました。
太鼓岩からの見晴らしは素晴らしく、一生の思い出になりました!ありがとうございました✨
Dear Leo,
Thank you very much for participating in our tour.
I'm glad you were able to enjoy Shiratani Unsuikyo at a leisurely pace. The weather was also favorable at Taiko Rock, and the breathtaking view between the flowing clouds was amazing.
If there is another opportunity, let's definitely have fun together in Yakushima.
Thank you.

We were blessed with good weather and were able to meet the Jomon Sugi safely. With the guide's help, we managed to walk the way back and forth while learning various pieces of knowledge. They also pointed out many great photo spots. The miso soup they prepared for us during lunch was very delicious. Thanks to the guide's pacing and consideration, I was able to go trekking with my parents in their 60s, creating wonderful memories. I am very satisfied.
天候に恵まれ、無事縄文杉に会うことができました。
ガイドさんに色々な知識を教えていただきながら行き帰りの道を頑張って歩くことができました。
写真を撮るスポットもたくさん教えていただきました。お弁当を食べる時に準備してくださっていたお味噌汁がとてもおいしかったです。
ガイドさんのペース配分や配慮のおかげで、60代の両親とトレッキングができ、最高の思い出ができました。大満足です。
