I experienced trekking in Shiratani Unsuikyo during my first visit to Yakushima, and thanks to the guide accompanying us, we were able to hike at a comfortable pace. The guide also provided explanations about the highlights at each point, which made the trekking even more enjoyable.
初めての屋久島観光で白谷雲水峡トレッキングを体験しましたが、ガイド同行のおかげで余裕あるペースで登山できました。またガイドさんから各ポイントで見所について説明があり、よりトレッキングを楽しめました。

I was anxious that this might be my last year to take on the challenge due to my age, but the weather was clear, the guide was attentive, and the people in the group I went with were kind. It was great that I could walk all the way to Jomon Sugi without any issues. It was also fantastic to see Mount Miyanoura along the way. The hotel had delicious food, and I enjoyed the local dishes.
年齢から言って挑戦するのは今年が最後かなと不安でしたが、天気は快晴、ガイドさんも丁寧、一緒に行ったグループの人たちも親切、縄文杉まで、無事歩き続けられたのは良かったです。途中宮之浦岳も見られたのも最高でした。ホテルも料理がとても美味しく、地の物を楽しみました。

I was able to learn a lot about Yakushima! Since I don't have a driver's license, I was really grateful for the guided tour that showed us around Yakushima. It seemed to be a time when there were not many people, so I could take photos of the waterfalls and the Jomon Sugi without any worries. I was moved to be able to view the waterfall from such a close distance that I got splashed with water. The Yakuzaru and Yakushima deer were also very cute. The stories about why the Yakusugi trees are so large were really interesting too. Thank you very much!
屋久島についてたくさん知ることができました!運転免許を持っていないため、ガイド付きで屋久島を案内していただけるツアーは本当にありがたかったです。ちょうど人が少ない時期だったようで、滝や紀元杉の写真も心置きなく撮ることができました。水しぶきがかかるほどの距離で滝を眺めることができて感動しました。ヤクザル、ヤクシカもとても可愛かったです。屋久杉がなぜ大きいのかなどのお話もとっても面白かったです✨ありがとうございました!

At first, I thought about going without a guide, but I believe it was the right decision to have one! The guide informed us about pacing, restroom breaks, and rest times in advance, which motivated us with "just a little more to go!" 😊 It was also great that, even when traveling in a group, the guide could take photos of all of us together. The bus was direct, so there was no hassle of transfers, allowing us to relax both going and coming back! I slipped on a rock and injured myself right after we started heading back from seeing Jomon Sugi, but the guide quickly rushed over to help, and even in moments when I felt my spirits dropping, they encouraged me multiple times, making the descent enjoyable!
始めはガイドさんをつけないで行こうかと思っていましたがガイドつけて正解だったと思ってます!
ペース配分、トイレや休憩のタイミングを事前に教えてくれるのであともうちょっと!と励みになりました(^^)
複数で行ってもガイドさんがいたら全員で写真も撮ってもらえるのも良かったです☆
バスも直行だったので乗り換える手間もなく行きも帰りも車内でゆっくり出来ました!
縄文杉を見て折り返しが始まってすぐに岩で足を滑らせて怪我をしてしまいましたが、ガイドさんがすぐに駆け寄ってきてくれたし、テーション下がってしまいそうな場面で何度も声をかけてくれて楽しく下山することが出来ました!

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。

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!

In the morning, we toured around Yakushima and visited various sightseeing spots, and in the afternoon, we went to Yakusugi Land to see the Jomon cedar. I recommend it for those who cannot drive, as it allows for efficient sightseeing. For lunch, we enjoyed fried flying fish and ponkan juice, which was delicious. The sea at Inakahama, a turtle nesting site, was very beautiful.
午前中に屋久島一周し観光地を回った後、午後からヤクスギランド、紀元杉の見学です。車を運転できない方には効率よく観光地を見ることができるのでオススメです。昼食はトビウオの唐揚げ、ポンカンジュースもついていて、美味しくいただきました。ウミガメの産卵地、いなか浜の海はとても美しかったです。

I had heard that the weather in the mountains is different from that at the base, but it was clear all day! This year, since there were no typhoons, the autumn leaves were stunning, and the view from Taiko Rock was absolutely fantastic. It was worth the effort to climb up. I was very satisfied with all the photos the guide took for us.

We came to Yakushima for a 3-night, 4-day trip with 7 members who had previously gone mountain climbing together. The group consists of members in their 50s, 60s, 70s, and the eldest is 79 years old. There was a strong desire among the members to visit Yakushima for the last time in their lives, which led to the planning of this tour. With both first-timers and those who had visited 2 or 3 times, we struggled to decide on a destination and ended up signing up for a one-day island tour of Yakushima.
We were surprised when the guide came to pick us up at the guesthouse. A foreign guide in Japan?? However, they provided attentive service and offered fascinating explanations about the mangrove trees that grow in seawater, the rare species, the beach where sea turtles lay their eggs, and we walked through the woods in light rain to see the thousand-year-old cedar at Shiratani Unsuikyo, where we had lunch. The Yakushima macaques, which are not afraid of humans, and the slightly smaller Yakushima deer were also introduced to us. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed their first experience in Yakushima. Finally, we soaked in the ocean hot spring, creating wonderful memories.
私たちは以前に山登りをやっていたメンバー7名3泊4日で屋久島へ来ました。
79歳を筆頭に、70代・60代・50代のメンバーです。メンバーの中からどうしても人生最後に屋久島に行きたいと言う声が上がり企画したツアーでした。初めての方、2・3回目の方の参加で行く場所に悩み屋久島の1日島内観光ツアー
に申し込みました。最初民宿に迎えに来られたガイドさんに驚きました。日本で外人のガイドさん??とでも細やかな対応で、興味深い説明、海水で育つマングローブの樹と珍しい種、ウミガメが産卵する浜、小雨の中、木々の中を歩いて千年杉まで行き昼食を食べた白谷雲水峡、人間を怖がらない屋久さる、少し小さい屋久鹿、説明を交えて案内して下さいました。みんなが初めての屋久島を堪能しました。最後に海中温泉に入り、とてもいい思い出が出来ました。

I joined this tour because I wanted to see the world of Princess Mononoke. Personally, I preferred the path to Shiratani Unsuikyo over the journey to Jomon Sugi. The guide was kind and very helpful, which I appreciated. However, I wish I could have heard a bit more about Yakushima. Thanks to the rain the day before, the moss was beautifully wet. Since there were other participants, I actually wanted to stay longer and take in the forest, but it was a shame that I couldn't stay that long. We went to Taiko Rock, and luckily the view that day was very good. Overall, I was satisfied with this tour. If you want to take more photos and have a more leisurely trip, I think a private guide would be better.
もののけ姫の世界が見たくて、このツアーに参加しました。個人的には縄文杉までの道のりよりも、白谷雲水峡までの方が好きでした。ガイドの方も優しくたくさんお世話してくださり助かりました。ただ、もう少し屋久島の話が聞けるとよかったかなと思います。前日の雨のおかげで、苔が雨に濡れてとても綺麗でした。他の参加者の方もいたため、本当はもっとじっくりその場に留まって森を見ていたかったのですが、そこまで滞在ができなかったのが残念です。太鼓岩まで行きましたがその日は運良く眺めもとてもよく、全体を通してこのツアーには満足です。もっと写真をとったり、じっくりゆっくりする旅がよければ、プライベートガイドが良いかなと思いました。

I finally got to visit Yakushima, a place I've always wanted to go. As a beginner in mountain climbing, I signed up for this tour. Normally, you can only reach the Arakawa trailhead by bus, but this tour picked me up from my accommodation and took me directly to the trailhead by charter bus without needing to switch buses, which was very convenient. The guide was friendly, and even though I participated alone, they actively engaged with me, allowing everyone to enjoy the climb together. During the trekking, I learned about not only Yakushima but also the lives of various participants, which was enlightening! The guide was also happy to take photos for us. The miso soup served during lunch was very delicious. On the way back, I was quite exhausted and had much less energy to talk than on the way there, but I truly felt it was worth it. The scenery leading up to Jomon Sugi was all wonderful. I would like to return in a different season, and I would love to use this tour again!
人生で一度は行ってみたかった屋久島へ。登山初心者の為このツアーを申し込みました。通常では荒川登山口まではバスで行くしかないそうですが、このツアーは宿に迎えに来てくれ、そのままバスに乗り換えせずに登山口までチャターバスで連れて行ってくれ、とても便利でした。ガイドの方もフレンドリーで、私は一人での参加でしたが、積極的に話しかけてくださり、他の参加者の方とみんなで楽しく登山をする事ができました。トレッキング中は屋久島の話以外にも、いろいろな方の人生が聞けて、勉強になりました!ガイドの方は写真撮影も快くしてくれました。お弁当の時間に出していただいたお味噌汁がとてもおいしかったです。帰りは疲労で大変で、話す気力も行きよりだいぶなくなりましたが、笑本当に行ってよかったです。縄文杉にたどり着くまでの景色も全てが素晴らしかったです。また違う季節に戻ってきたいと思います。その際も、このツアーを利用したいです!

The guide's explanations were interesting and time flew by. Since the tour moves quickly, you can't spend too long at one place, but you can circle Yakushima in half a day. I only participated in the morning, but we were able to visit Chihiro Falls, Nakama Gajumaru, Okawa Falls, the Seibu Forest Road, and Inakahama all in one go. It's recommended for those who are not good at driving on mountain roads or want to make effective use of their time before departure.
ガイドさんの説明が面白く、あっという間でした。駆け足で回るので、1つの場所にゆっくりはできませんが、半日で屋久島を一周できます。参加したのは午前だけでしたが、千尋の滝、仲間ガジュマル、大川の滝、西部林道、いなか浜を一気に廻ることができ、山道の運転が苦手な人や出発までの時間を有効活用するのにおススメです。

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 rain started unexpectedly. The weather forecast doesn't hold true in Yakushima. The moss and trees, wet from the rain, looked vibrant and beautiful. There was some mist, which created a fantastic atmosphere. I couldn't see Taiko Rock because it was dangerous due to the slippery conditions from the rain. The guides I passed all said, "It's tough!" and I really started to worry if I could make it to the end, but I pushed through. My knees, back, and hips are all sore, and I don't even know how to care for them. It might not be suitable for those who want to take photos slowly.
予報外れの雨スタート。屋久島では天気予報は当たりません。雨に濡れた苔や木々は生き生きしててキレイでした。霧やら出てきてましたけど、幻想的な雰囲気で素敵でした。太鼓岩は雨で滑ると危険だからと見られずΣ(ノд<)すれ違うガイドさんみんなから「大変だ~」って言われるくらい過酷なコースで、本当に最後まで歩ききれるのか不安になりましたが、やりきりました~。膝やら腰やら股関節やら痛いところだらけで、どうケアしたらいいかわからないくらい。写真ゆっくりとりたい方には不向きかもしれません。

I participated with two friends. The weather forecast was wrong, and it poured rain from the morning without stopping, so we couldn't go to Taiko Rock due to safety concerns, and I have almost no photos from Shiratani Unsuikyo. However, I don't think I'll ever walk on such a dark, rainy mountain path again, so it was a good experience.
I'm a notorious rain person, but our guide, Mr. Shimozono from the roadside station, made it fun by joking around, and we walked for nearly 12 hours happily. Mr. Shimozono is a native of Yakushima and has witnessed the changes on the island, so it was enjoyable to ask him questions and hear his stories.
For lunch, he even boiled water and served us miso soup! Even after the rain stopped, it was still foggy and cold, so it really warmed us up. Mr. Shimozono walked without wearing rain gear and just held an umbrella, yet he didn't get wet at all, and hardly got caught on branches... it was amazing!
I highly recommend walking for 12 hours with Mr. Shimozono!

天気予報が外れて朝から土砂降りで、しかも全然止まなくて、危険だということで太鼓岩には行くことが出来ず、白谷雲水峡はほぼ写真がないです。
でもこんな真っ暗闇で土砂降りな山道を歩くこともきっとないと思うので、いい経験でした。
わたしはすごい雨女なのですが、ガイドの道の駅観光の下園さんも色々いじってくれたので、12時間近く楽しく歩けました。
下園さんは生粋の屋久島の方だそうで、屋久島の移り変わりを見てきた方なので、色々質問すると話してくださって楽しかったです。

On the return trip along the trolley path, I also encountered Yakushima monkeys and Yakushima deer, creating wonderful memories. The recommended sightseeing spots introduced by the guide for the following day were also excellent, and I thoroughly enjoyed the great nature of Yakushima for the second time in two years.
天候にもチームにも恵まれ、10時間のハードなトレッキングを楽しめました。ベテランガイドさんがペース配分や時間をうまく誘導して下さり、写真スポットでの行列やトイレ待ちなどのロスもなく、おかげでウィルソン株や縄文杉ではゆっくりすることができました。帰りのトロッコ道で屋久猿・屋久鹿にも出会え、すばらしい思い出になりました。ガイドさんに紹介していただいた翌日のおすすめ観光スポットもとても良く、二年ぶり二回目の屋久島の大自然を堪能しました

My first trekking experience, wrapped in fluffy velvet and surrounded by Yakusugi, was incredibly healing and mesmerizing from start to finish! When I mentioned to the guide that I’m a self-proclaimed moss lover, we stopped in front of various mosses, and he shared fascinating stories that got me excited. The miso soup the guide made was deeply comforting and truly delicious. I had inquired about the transportation via email beforehand, and they responded with such kindness and thoroughness that I was genuinely grateful! Thanks to them, I was able to take home memories that feel like treasures. Thank you very much!
モフモフのベルベットにくるまれた屋久杉を愛でながらの初トレッキングは、終始癒され見惚れっぱなし!自称苔好きとガイドさんに話したら、様々な苔の前で足を止め興味深い話をして下さってワクワクしました。ガイドさんがいれてくれたみそ汁が、心身共に沁みてしみじみ美味しかったです。送迎の件で事前にメールで問い合わせしたところ、こちらが頭が下がるほど非常に親切丁寧に対応して下さって本当に有難かったです!おかげさまで宝物のような思い出を持ち帰れました。ありがとうございました!

I wanted to visit not only the Shiratani Unsuikyo, which is said to be the setting for Princess Mononoke, and the moss-covered forest, but also Taiko Rock! I searched for various tours and ended up booking this one, which takes you to Taiko Rock at a reasonable price. The guide was a seasoned veteran with extensive knowledge, sharing enjoyable and thought-provoking stories about life. They also shared various snacks and garlic, which gave us a boost of energy—thank you! This tour offers an early morning option, and we chose that. There were few climbers, allowing us to take our time and enjoy taking photos on our way to Taiko Rock. The moss-covered forest was mystical, and the morning light created a fantastical atmosphere that was captivating. And then, Taiko Rock! There were steep slopes along the way, and combined with the muscle soreness from the previous day, it was tough, but reaching the top was breathtaking! According to the guide, the views are better in the early morning. Indeed, the early bird catches the worm!
もののけ姫の舞台となったと言われている白谷雲水峽、苔むす森だけでなくどうせなら太鼓岩も行きたい!といろいろなツアーを探しましたが太鼓岩まで行けてお値打ちなこのツアーを申し込みました。 ガイドさんもガイド歴が長い大ベテランさんで知識も豊富(楽しくそして人生も考える深い話でよかったです)、そしてお菓子やニンニクなどいろいろ食べ物(パワーでましたありがとうございます)も分けてくださいました。 こちらのツアー、早朝コースもあり私たちは早朝コースを選択しましたが、登山客が少なくゆっくりと写真をとりながら太鼓岩を目指すことができました。 苔むす森、神秘的で朝の光が幻想的な雰囲気をかもし出し魅力的でした。 そして、太鼓岩!道中急な坂があり前日の筋肉痛と重なり大変でしたが登りきり絶景でした! ガイドさん曰く、早朝の方が眺めがいい確率が高いとのこと。まさに早起きは三文の徳ですね!
Dear Harebare,
Thank you very much for your post about your experience. The Jomon Sugi course is also known as the "Training Course" or "Torture Sugi Course," while the Shiratani Unsuikyo is referred to as the "Healing Course." Some customers turn back at the moss-covered forest, but in recent years, the course leading to Taiko Rock and the early morning course have been gaining popularity. There are not many other climbers, and the air is clear, allowing for breathtaking views from Taiko Rock (weather permitting).
This time you participated in the autumn, but in spring, the mountain cherry blossoms make the mountainsides appear pink, and in winter, the mountain ridges are covered in white snow, resembling the Alps.
We sincerely look forward to your next visit to Yakushima.

返信遅くなりましたが、体験談への投稿、誠にありがとうございます。
縄文杉コースは別名「修行コースや拷問杉コース」と言われておりますが、白谷雲水峡は「癒しコース」と呼ばれております。
苔むす森で折り返すお客様もいますが、ここ数年はその先の太鼓岩までのコースさらに早朝コースが少しずつ人気が出ており
まさしく他の登山者もあまりおらず空気が澄んでいるので太鼓岩からも絶景が見れます(天気次第ですが)
今回は秋の参加ですが、春になると山桜で山肌がピンクに見れますし、冬は山の稜線が雪で真っ白になり、まるでアルプスの山を見るようです。
またの来島を心よりお待ちしております。

I want to see Jomon Sugi at least once, but since we were feeling anxious about going alone, we decided to book a tour. We had no experience in mountain climbing, and I wasn't confident in my physical strength, so I worried that I might slow down the pace for other tourists... that's why we chose this private tour.
However, this turned out to be the perfect decision! They not only considered our walking pace, but also provided enjoyable explanations, answered our questions patiently, and took many photos for us, which made for a very satisfying experience.
During the ascent, there were various highlights like the Wilson stump, and although it was challenging, we were able to enjoy walking while connecting with nature. And finally, the long-awaited Jomon Sugi... the fatigue from climbing disappeared as I was able to experience its mystique and the greatness of nature. Seeing it with my own eyes was completely different from what I had seen in photos or on TV; it was truly overwhelming and moving!
On the way back, due to my usual lack of exercise, my legs couldn't keep up, and it took longer than expected, but thanks to our guide and friends, we were able to descend safely without any injuries.
However, this Jomon Sugi tour definitely requires determination and grit (laughs). I don't think I could have made it on my own. I would like to take this opportunity to thank our guide, friends, and everyone we met along the way who encouraged us. Thank you very much!
After descending, my body was exhausted, but my heart felt very fulfilled. I definitely want to visit again!
一度は縄文杉をみてみたい、けれど私たちだけでは不安だったのでツアーを申し込むことにしました。 登山は全くの未経験、体力に自信がなく他の観光客の方々と一緒だと歩くペースが遅くご迷惑になるのでは…と思いこちらのプライベートツアーにしました。
しかし、これが大正解でした! 歩くペースを配慮してくださったのはもちろんのこと、楽しい解説や私たちの質問に丁寧に答えて頂いたり写真をたくさんとってくださるなど、大満足の対応をして頂きました。
往路の道中、ウィルソン株などさまざまなみどころがあり自然にふれあいながら大変ではありましたが楽しく歩くことができました。 そして、ついに念願の縄文杉…登りの疲れはどこへやら、とても神秘的でかつ自然の偉大さに触れることができました。写真やらテレビでみるのとは全く違い、自分の目でみるものはただ圧倒され感動するものでした!
復路は、普段の運動不足により足がついていかず時間がかかってしまいましたがガイドさんや友人のおかげで怪我もなく無事下山することができました。
しかし、この縄文杉ツアーはまさしく気合と根性が必要ですね(笑) 自分一人では到底たどりつくってことができなかったと思います。
ガイドさんや友人、道中すれ違った際に励ましてくださった方々この場をお借りしてお礼申し上げます。ありがとうこざいました!
下山後身体はボロボロですが、心はとても充実したものとなりました。また是非訪れてたいです!
Thank you for your hard work on the Jomon Sugi tour (laughs).
What mattered most was that we were able to walk all the way to the end safely.
We often hear from our customers that seeing Jomon Sugi in person is a completely different experience compared to seeing it on TV or in photos. That emotion comes from witnessing it with your own eyes and the sense of achievement from walking there on your own legs. This is something only those who have experienced it can understand.
When you seek fulfillment for your heart, please come visit us again. Jomon Sugi is always waiting for you!
気合いと根性の縄文杉ツアーお疲れ様でした(笑)。
無事に最後まで歩けたのが何よりでした。
お客様達から、実際に観る縄文杉は、テレビや写真で観る縄文杉と全然違う感動があるという言葉をよく頂きます。
その感動は、実際に眼で観た感動と、実際に自分の脚でそこまで歩いて来たという、自分自身に対する感動だと思います。
これは、体験してみた方にしか分かりませんよね。
また、心の充実を欲した際は、ぜひもう一度訪れて下さい。
縄文杉はいつでもお待ちしていますよ!
