I had an amazing time!!!! Thanks to the early morning departure, I was able to visit the long-awaited Jomon Sugi and the mossy forest of Shiratani Unsuikyo, as well as Taiko Rock, all in two days. I was worried about the reviews mentioning that the guides can vary, but the guide we had both days was very nice, and I'm glad I made the reservation here◎ I think it really depends on luck!
The view from Taiko Rock, where you can see all of Yakushima and even the ocean, was truly breathtaking, so I definitely recommend joining the early morning tour on the second day as well.
The nature was really beautiful, and the locals were kind, so I fell in love with Yakushima (*^^*)
本当に楽しかったです!!!!
早朝発のおかげで、2日間で念願の縄文杉と白谷雲水峡の苔むす森+太鼓岩まで行けました。
ガイドさんに当たり外れがあるという口コミで心配していましたが、、担当していただいたガイドさんは2日ともとても良い方で、こちらで予約してよかったです◎こればかりは運次第かと!
太鼓岩からの屋久島を一望できて海まで見えてしまう景色は本当に圧巻だったので、ぜひ2日目も早朝発のツアーに参加することをおすすめします。
本当に自然が綺麗で、街の方々も優しく、屋久島が好きになりました(*^^*)

I participated in a one-day course on Yakushima for the first time. The guide provided thorough explanations, making it very easy to understand and worthwhile. I encountered Yakuzaru (Japanese macaques) and Yakushika (Yakushima deer), and it was a fulfilling day. I definitely want to participate again.
初めての屋久島で、1日コースに参加しました。ガイドさんの丁寧な説明があり とても分かりやすくお得でした。やく猿 やく鹿にも出会え、充実した1日でした。また是非参加したいと思います。

I visited Shiratani Unsuikyo for the first time this time, and the moss was incredibly beautiful, covering everything in green and looking very picturesque! I wasn't very confident in my physical stamina, and I was a bit worried about whether I could make it to the mossy forest since I was tired from going to Jomon Sugi the day before. However, the guide spoke very slowly while we climbed, so it wasn't exhausting at all, and I was able to enjoy the scenery around me at a leisurely pace.
Next time, I want to visit in the summer and enjoy the stunning view from Taiko Rock!
今回初めて白谷雲水峡に行かせて頂きましたが、
苔がすごくキレイに生えてて、一面緑でとても美しかったです!
私はあまり体力に自信がなく、前日に縄文杉まで行って疲れていたので、
苔むすの森まで行けるか少し不安でしたが、
ガイドの方がとてもゆっくりとお話ししながら登ってくださったので、まったくしんどくなく、また、ゆっくり周りの景色を見ながら登ることができました。
次回は夏に訪れて、太鼓岩からの絶景もたのしみたいと思います♪
Dear Shimopi,
I apologize for the delayed response, but thank you very much for participating in our tour.
Shiratani Unsuikyo is a place where many customers are satisfied, with its clear streams and moss-covered forests from the entrance. However, I hope you will challenge yourself next time to visit Taiko Rock, where you can enjoy a panoramic view of Yakushima's high mountains.
Thank you for your continued support.

Although it was outside the pickup area, I was very grateful that they came to get me early in the morning when it was still dark.
This was my first experience with trekking, and I participated with a light-hearted hiking spirit, but due to my lack of experience, it was quite tough and hard. However, thanks to our guide, I was able to reach Taiko Rock safely. There were four friends and two other people with us this time, and we were able to progress at a leisurely pace, which allowed us to enjoy each other's company. Since there are many steep paths, I recommend a private tour for anyone who feels even a little anxious.
The guide was very knowledgeable and explained everything I asked in detail. While walking, they stopped to show us countless plants, asking if we knew their names. They took many photos, making me feel like I was with a professional photographer.
It's important to stop and take photos before walking again, as it can be dangerous otherwise; if you don't follow this rule, the guide will scold you quite sternly, haha.
I was extremely satisfied, and it was worth more than the price. Lying down on Taiko Rock and enjoying the view while taking a leisurely break was the best feeling.
Thanks to the excellent guide, I was able to participate safely, but I think it's important to prepare thoroughly. The early morning course is very dark, and it’s quite dangerous without a headlamp. If you don't have proper hiking shoes, you might slip and twist your ankle. Gloves are also recommended. It was cold, so I was glad I had a neck warmer and a lightweight down jacket. The weather was good, but a lightweight rain jacket is also useful as a windbreaker. Even though I wasn't sweating, I drank about 800ml of water. Sharing small snacks with everyone helped relieve fatigue and was a nice change of pace.
The last photo is of our guide. Thank you very much for all your help. Mid-March 2020.
送迎対象外地域でしたが早朝で真っ暗なので迎えにきてくださりとても助かりました。
トレッキングも初体験でハイキング気分で軽い気持ちで参加したので経験不足の為とても辛くてハードでした。しかしガイドさんのおかげで無事に太鼓岩まで登りきることができました。今回は友人4名と他に2名の方がいましたがゆっくりペースで進めたので皆さんと声かけあって楽しむことができました。険しい道が多いのでちょっとでも不安がある人はプライベートをおすすめします。
ガイドさんはとても物知りで聞いたこと全部細かく教えてくれました。歩きながらこんな何も名前があるの?と数えきれないぐらいの植物を立ち止まって見せてくれました。写真も沢山撮ってくれてプロのカメラマンさんと一緒に行った気分です。
写真は必ず立ち止まって撮ったらしまってから歩かないと危ないので守らないとガイドさんにきつく叱られますょ笑
お値段以上の大満足です。
太鼓岩に寝そべって眺望を見ながらゆっくり休憩もできて気分最高でした。
ガイドさんがよかったので安全に参加できましたがやはりいろいろと準備はしっかりした方がいいと思いました。
早朝コースは真っ暗でベッドライトがないととても危険です。靴も登山用のがないと滑って足をひねります。手袋もおすすめします。寒かったので首あて、動きやすいダウンを持っていてよかったです。天気がよかったのですが動きやすい雨具は風よけにもなるので便利でした。汗もかいていないのに水も800mlぐらい飲みました。ちょっとした口に入れるものもみんなで交換して疲れが取れたり気分転換になるのでよかったです。

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。
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.

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.

I had hardly ever done any mountain climbing before, but I really wanted to see Jomon Sugi, so I decided to join a tour.
During the tour, we took breaks at appropriate intervals, and the guides provided us with information about the target arrival times and guidelines for each point, which allowed us to walk with peace of mind. It was also helpful that they informed us about dangerous areas and how to handle them in advance.
The day before, when I went to Shiratani Unsuikyo alone, I struggled and got lost due to the thick fog, so I was even more grateful that I had signed up for this tour before my trip!
普段ほとんど登山などはしたことがなかったのですが、どうしても縄文杉が見たかったのでツアーに参加することにしました。
ツアーでは適度に休憩を挟みながら、各ポイントへの到着目標時間や目安などを教えて頂きながらトレッキングしたため、安心して歩くことができました。また危険な箇所や対応の仕方も事前に教えて貰えよかったです。
前日に白谷雲水峡に1人で行った時に、霧が濃かったこともあり、道に迷ったり苦労したため、尚更旅行前にこのツアーを申し込んでいて良かったと思いました!
Dear Sakura,
I apologize for the delayed response, but thank you very much for participating in our tour.
The Jomon Sugi course has few places where one might get lost, and honestly, you could go without a guide. However, I recommend having a guide for pacing, explanations, and in case of any injuries.

At the end of December 2019, I attempted to reach the Arakawa trailhead but had to give up due to heavy rain! On March 17, 2020, I made a second attempt. I kept a close eye on the weather forecast and changed my tour reservation several times before the day arrived, and I was able to go on a day with perfect weather. Our guide, Mr. Kawada, was incredibly thorough, providing many informative stories about the basics of mountain walking and the history of Yakusugi, and I truly felt it was worth hiring a guide. Thank you very much. We departed from the trailhead at 5:30 AM and returned at 3:40 PM. As someone over 60, I felt a sense of accomplishment after walking 22 km in the mountains. It was all thanks to our guide.

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!

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.

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

When it comes to sightseeing in Yakushima, I had the image of a "morning trekking tour," but this tour was perfect for someone like me, who usually prefers indoor activities. They picked me up at my accommodation at 8 AM, and we spent the day visiting the highlights of Yakushima by bus, returning to my accommodation in the evening. The guide and driver provided detailed and interesting information, and their love for Yakushima was evident. I definitely want to visit again in a different season.
屋久島観光といえば、「早朝からのトレッキングツアー」のイメージでしたが、このツアーは朝8時に宿泊先まで迎えに来ていただけ、バスで行ける屋久島の見所を1日かけて回り、夕方にはまた宿泊先まで送っていただけるという、私のような普段はインドア派の人に特にピッタリのツアーです。
ガイド兼運転手さんの丁寧で詳しいお話は興味深く、また屋久島への愛があふれていました。また、違う季節に是非訪れたいと思いました。

I had high expectations because the guide mentioned having nearly 20 years of experience, but when I asked questions about Yakushima or the plants, they often didn't know the answers and mostly just read what was written on the signs. The walking pace was slow, which made me even more tired. I wished they would listen to the customers' needs and adjust the speed accordingly. I felt like I could have gone on my own without a guide.
The day before, when I went to Jomon Sugi with another tour company, the guide was knowledgeable and had an interesting way of speaking, which made me feel this way even more. However, Shiratani Unsuikyo was very nice, so I'm glad I went. The path is easy as well.
ガイドさんがガイド歴が20年近くあると言っていたので期待しましたが、なにか屋久島の事や植物について質問しても分からないと答える事が多く、ほとんど看板に書いてあることをさらっと読むだけでした。歩くペースも遅く余計に疲れました。もっとお客さんのニーズを聞いてスピード調整をして欲しかったです。これならガイドなしで自分一人で行けば良かったかなと感じました。
前日に他のツアー会社で縄文杉に行った時は、知識も豊富で話も面白い素晴らしいガイドさんだったので、余計そう感じてしまいました。
ですが白谷雲水峡はとても良かったので行って良かったです。道も簡単です。
Dear Yakushima Love,
Thank you very much for participating in our tour.
Although our guide is usually very popular, I will make sure to address this for the future.
We appreciate your continued support.

Guide Taniyama made accurate judgments at key points, such as pacing and where to leave our luggage, which eased my anxiety about the long tour and allowed me to follow along with confidence. It was clear that the guide was very knowledgeable, and he answered all my questions in detail, which was very educational.
He also treated us to miso soup using the gas he brought for our lunch. What thoughtful consideration! It was so nice of him to carry something heavy just for us. I was truly moved to enjoy warm miso soup in the middle of the forest.
The plan to go from Taiko Rock to Yakusugi in one day was the perfect way for me to spend my remaining time meaningfully, especially since I wanted to relax on Yakushima. I am grateful that he willingly accepted to arrange such a plan, which is not easy to find. Thank you so much! ✨
ガイドの谷山さんが、ペース配分やここでは荷物を置いていく、など要所で的確な判断をしてくださり、長時間のツアーに不安でしたが安心してついていくことが出来ました。
とても勉強をされているのが分かるガイドさんで、何を聞いても答えてくださり、詳しいので勉強になりました。
またお昼ご飯に持参してくださったガスを使ってお味噌汁をご馳走してくださいました。なんという心配り!重いのにわざわざ持ってきてくださるお心遣いが嬉しいですよね。まさか森の中で温かいお味噌汁をいただけるなんて、感動でした。
1日で太鼓岩〜屋久杉までを行くプランは、屋久島でゆっくり過ごしたい私にとっては残りの時間を有意義に過ごすことが出来る最高のプランで、そういったプランがなかなかない中で、それを快く引き受けてくださることに感謝です。
本当にありがとうございます✨
Dear Travel Diary,
I apologize for the late response. Thank you very much for participating in the Jomon Sugi Half-Day + Shiratani Unsuikyo Half-Day (to Taiko Rock) two major trekking course day tour.
The course that visits both Jomon Sugi and Shiratani Unsuikyo in one day has mixed reviews, but for those with good stamina, as you mentioned, it allows for a more meaningful experience on other days, so many are satisfied.
However, there are also issues, as the number of guides who can conduct this course has been decreasing year by year, which is a challenge for the future. To maintain this plan, we would like to focus on discovering new talent.
Thank you for your continued support.

そしてこの度は、縄文杉半日+白谷雲水協半日(太鼓岩まで)2大トレッキングコース日帰りツアーにご参加頂き、誠にありがとうございました。
1日で縄文杉と白谷雲水峡を行くコースは賛否両論ありますが、体力がある方にとってはおっしゃる通り、他の日を有意義に過ごせますので
満足される方が多いです。
しかし問題点もあり、このコースを行えるガイドが年々少なくなっており、そこが今後の課題となってますので、このプランを維持する為にも
新たな人材発掘に力を入れていきたいと思っています。
今後とも宜しくお願いします。

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。

On the first day, I arrived on a direct flight from Itami and was picked up for the afternoon tour, which then dropped me off at my accommodation.
On the final day, I participated in the morning tour and returned home on an afternoon flight. A taxi picked me up from the accommodation in the morning, and I joined the bus for a round trip around Yakushima, stopping at the Furusato Market to buy souvenirs before taking a direct flight back to Itami. It was truly an efficient sightseeing experience without any wasted time.
I was able to see two impressive waterfalls and encountered adorable Yakuzaru and Yakushika up close. Above all, the guide's stories were interesting, and I had a great time. Plus, the price was very reasonable, which was a bonus.
Since I can't drive, I really appreciated this kind of tour.
初日は、伊丹からの直行便を降りてすぐに午後コースに拾ってもらい、最後は宿まで送ってもらいました。
最終日は、逆に、午前コースに参加してから午後の飛行機で帰りました。朝宿までタクシーで迎えに来てもらい、バスと合流して屋久島一周、ふるさと市場で降りて土産物を買って直行便で伊丹までと、ホント無駄なく効率的な観光ができました。
迫力ある二つの滝が見られ、可愛いヤクザル、ヤクシカにも至近距離で出会えたし、何よりもガイドさんのお話が面白く、楽しい時間が過ごせました。しかも、お値段が安いのでいうことなしです。
私は運転ができないので、こういうツアーはほんとにありがたかったです。

My first time in Yakushima.
A few minutes after arriving, I boarded the shuttle bus and joined the group participating in the morning tour.
Unfortunately, it was raining, but that was expected, and I was captivated by the scenery from the bus window.
The Yakusugi Land was a 30-minute course, and the guide's stories were fascinating; it went by in no time.
And then there was the Jomon Sugi. Its size was overwhelming and had a dignified presence. It's amazing that you can park the car right next to it.
Due to my flight schedule, I only had half a day this time, but next time I definitely want to do a full-day course and explore all around Yakushima. Thank you for your hospitality.
初めての屋久島。
到着して数分後に迎えのバスに乗り、午前中から参加の皆さまに加わり、ツアースタートです。
残念ながら雨でしたが、それも想定内で、車窓からの景色にくぎづけ。
ヤクスギランドは30分コースで、ガイドさんの話が興味深く、あっと言う間でした。
そして紀元杉。圧倒される大きさで、凛々しい感じ。間近に車を横付けできるのはすごいですね。
飛行機の関係で今回は半日でしたが、次回はぜひ一日コースで、屋久島一周したいと思います。お世話になりました。

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!!

Since it happened to be a small group day, I was able to listen closely to the guide's explanations. I was glad to learn in detail about Yakushima's geology, vegetation, and history. There was also plenty of time at each sightseeing point, which was satisfying. The food was delicious as well. It was convenient and appreciated that they provided transportation close to my accommodation.
たまたま少人数の日だったので、ガイドさんの解説をしっかり聞くことができました。屋久島の地質・植生・歴史について詳しく聞けてよかったです。
各見学ポイントでの時間も十分とられており、満足でした。ごはんもおいしかったです。
宿の近くまで送迎してもらえるのも便利でありがたかったです。

On the first day in Yakushima, I used a half-day plan in the afternoon. After landing on a direct flight from Osaka, I was able to start sightseeing in Yakushima right away, making the most of my time. Additionally, I was picked up at the airport and dropped off at my hotel at the end, which helped save on transportation costs.
Since it was an off-season weekday, I was the only participant, and a taxi came to pick me up. The fact that the tour operates even for just one person is impressive. The taxi driver accompanied me on the 50-minute course at Yakusugi Land and provided a thorough guide.
Choosing this course on the first day was the right decision, as it allowed me to gain some background knowledge about Yakushima. With a dedicated private guide for 2,500 yen, the cost performance is remarkable.
屋久島1日目に午後半日プランを利用しました。大阪からの直行便を降りてすぐに屋久島観光に入れるので、時間を無駄なくすごせます。さらに空港で拾ってもらい、最後はホテルまで送ってもらえるので、移動のための費用も節約できます。
オフシーズンの平日だったので、利用者は私だけで、タクシーが迎えにきていました。一人でも催行というのが、このツアーの凄いところです。タクシーの運転手さんが、屋久杉ランドの50分コースを一緒に回ってくれ、丁寧にガイドしてくださいました。
屋久島の予備知識を仕入れるという意味でも初日にこのコースを選択して正解でした。
貸し切り専属ガイドがついて2500円ですから、脅威のコストパフォーマンスですね。

We participated on January 2nd. Although it was the New Year, we were the only participants. There were probably only about 20 people on the mountain, so it felt like we had the place to ourselves. We could walk at our own pace and really appreciated the guide's explanations. I think winter is recommended since the hiking trails can get congested in the summer. I haven't done much hiking, but I had prepared to some extent, so I didn't experience any muscle soreness. It might be tough for those who don't exercise at all. It's better to have rain gear because you never know when it might rain.
1/2に参加。年始でしたが参加者は私たちのみ。山自体もおそらく20人ほどしかおらず、貸切状態。ゆっくり自分たちのペースで歩け、しっかり説明も聞けてやはりガイドさんのありがたみを感じました。夏は登山道も渋滞するらしいので冬、おすすめだと思いました。登山ほとんどしたことないですがある程度事前準備をしていたので筋肉痛とかもなし。全く運動しない方にはしんどいかもです。雨具はあった方がいいです。雨はいつ降るかわからないです。

Dear NHC,
I apologize for the delayed response, but thank you very much for participating in our tour. I'm glad to hear that you enjoyed the two days.
Depending on the season, departing early for Shiratani Unsuikyo (Taiko Rock) allows you to avoid other customers, and the clear air increases the chances of enjoying beautiful views from Taiko Rock. I believe choosing this course was definitely the right decision.
Since you've come to love Yakushima, please come back to visit us again someday.

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。
2日間楽しんで頂いたようで安心しました。
季節にもよりますが、白谷雲水峡(太鼓岩)は朝早く出発すると他のお客様と被らないし、空気が澄んで太鼓岩からの景色も綺麗に見れる確率が高いので
このコースを選んで大正解だったと思います。
屋久島が好きになったということで、またいつか屋久島に遊びに来てくださいね。
