I think this is suitable for those who want to experience Yakushima without the purpose of mountain climbing. The main highlight, "Shiratani Unsuikyo," is not included, but it's easy to get there by local bus, so you can go on your own. Therefore, if you combine the "Yakuzaru-go" with a visit to Shiratani Unsuikyo, you'll have a fairly fulfilling trip to Yakushima. It also includes transfers from major hotels and lunch, which makes it feel like a good deal.
山登り目的でなく、簡単に屋久島を体験しようと思う人に向いていると思います。主な見所では、「白谷雲水峡」が入っていないですが、ここは路線バスでも行けるので、自分で行く事も簡単です。よって「やくざる号」と自分で行く白谷雲水峡を組合せれば、結構充実した屋久島旅行になります。主だったホテルの送迎や昼食も入っているので、お得な感じもします

Despite the heavy rain forecast due to the typhoon, I came to Yakushima to meet the kodama (tree spirits) of the Mononoke Forest. The moss, wet from the rain, sparkled beautifully and was truly wonderful! The guide brought a kodama doll, and it felt as if the real ones were there. I felt as if my heart was cleansed, and I left with a refreshed spirit. If you get the chance, I definitely recommend visiting!
台風による大雨予報の中、もののけの森のこだま(木霊)に逢いたくて、屋久島にやって来ました。
雨に濡れた「苔」は、キラキラ輝いて、とても素敵でした❣️
ガイドさんがこだま(木霊)の人形を持って来てくれたのですが、本物がいるみたいでした
なんだか、心が洗われたように、スッキリした気持ちになりました。
是非、チャンスがあったら、訪れてみて欲しいですね。

My first visit to Yakushima was for trekking and diving. I heard that it was the setting for "Princess Mononoke," which is one of my favorite Studio Ghibli films, so I decided to go.
I chose the moss-covered forest half-day course. The staff at the accommodation mentioned that we would arrive quickly, but as a trekking beginner, I thought it might be better to save Jomon Sugi for another time.
On the day of the trek, I received a call from the person in charge. I was excited and nervous since it was my first time, but the guide was wonderful. We talked about the course and shared casual conversations, creating a homely atmosphere, so I quickly felt comfortable. The guide was in his 70s, but he was a veteran who climbed swiftly! He provided detailed guidance, and I was glad I could keep up with him.
The reserved course was truly amazing, and I felt like I could climb it over and over again. There were huge cedar trees that rivaled Jomon Sugi, and the sound of the river was very soothing. The course was full of highlights until we reached the moss-covered forest, and I thoroughly enjoyed it! Thank you.
On the last day, I had a trekking reservation, and I wanted to make it to the ferry on time, so I asked to go to the souvenir center at a certain time. They kindly accommodated my request, which was a great help. Thank you. However, it might have been because I was the only one that day.
初めての屋久島で、目的はトレッキングとダイビングでした。
ジブリが大好きでもの○け姫でも舞台とされてるとのことで行ってみました。
コースは苔むす森、半日コース
宿のかた曰く直ぐについてしまいます、
なんて言われましたが、トレッキング初心者なので縄文杉はまたの機会でいいかもと思ってました。
当日前に担当の方より連絡があります。
初めてでワクワクドキドキ緊張してましたが、
ガイドの方が大変良くて、コースの話や世間話しをして頂きアットホームな雰囲気だったので直ぐに仲良くなりました。
高齢で70代過ぎの方でしたが、ベテランの方でサクサク登られます!w
さらに細かなガイドをして頂けます。
ガイドさんになんとか付いて行けて良かった…
予約のコースは本当に最高で何度でも登りたいって思えます。縄文杉に負けないくらい大きな杉があり、川のせせらぎが心地良かったです。
苔むす森に辿りつくまで見所満載のコースで満喫出来ました!!
ありがとうございます。
最終日にトレッキングを予約していたので、フェリー時間に間に合うように何時にはお土産センターへ行きたいなどとワガママを聞いて頂き、大変助かりました。ありがとうございます。
ただ、その日は私だけだったからかも知れません。

I apologize for any inconvenience caused to the guide, but they were very attentive and kind! Thank you so much!!! The journey was tough, but with encouragement like "we'll take a break in about ○ minutes" and stories about previous trekkers, I was able to push through until the end!
At times, when the rain was heavy and it got cold, I was warmed up with delicious miso soup! The rainforests of Yakushima are incredibly beautiful, and I was truly moved when the sun peeked out for a moment! I want to go again! I hope to count on your support then!
ガイドさんには、いろいろご迷惑おかけしましたが、とてもとても丁寧に対応していただきました!ありがとうございました!!!
道のりはハードでしたが、あと○分で休憩だよとか、以前にこういう人がいてね~とか、いろんな声をかけていただいて、最後までトレッキングを頑張れました!

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

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

I wasn't very confident in my physical strength, so I was looking for a course with a shorter distance. On the day of the event, it was just the two of us participating. The guide gave off a bit of a scary impression, but in reality, they were very kind, offering us snacks during breaks, providing detailed explanations about how much longer we had to go, and being attentive to our walking pace. We had a lot of fun participating. The scenery was amazing. There were some steep areas and slippery spots, so I think it would be tough in the rain. I participated in June during the rainy season, and while I was prepared for rain, it didn't rain, and it was just cloudy, which was really great.
体力にあまり自信が無かったので、なるべく距離の短いコースを探していました。
当日は、私たち2人だけでの参加でした。
ガイドさんは、ちょっと怖そうな感じの印象を持ったのですが、実際は、休憩の際に持参のお菓子をくれたり、後どれ位とか、説明も詳しくしてくれたり、歩くペースを気にしてくれたり、とても楽しく参加出来ました。
景色は最高でした。
アップダウンの激しい所があったり、滑りやすい場所があったので、雨降りの時は厳しいと思います。
6月の参加で梅雨時、雨は覚悟していたのですが、雨は降らず、曇り空だったので本当に良かったです。

After arriving at Yakushima Airport on the day of the event, I participated in the Yakuzaru tour in the afternoon. Initially, I was scheduled to take a direct flight from Itami Airport to Yakushima, but that flight was canceled, so I had to change to a flight via Kagoshima at the last minute. I received a confirmation call the day before and another call on the day itself, which showed that they were attentive to my participation.
I traveled by taxi with two men who were also participating, making a total of five people including the driver. Since there were three of us in the back seat, it felt a bit cramped on the winding mountain roads. It was raining, but I was happy to be lent a large umbrella, as my small one wouldn't have been very useful.
It was great that the explanations were thorough both inside the car and outside.
当日屋久島空港へ到着後、午後からやくざる号へ参加しました。
当初、伊丹空港よりの直行便で屋久島入りする予定でしたが、欠便となり、急遽鹿児島経由で屋久島入りの便に変更になったので、前日確認の連絡と、当日もう一度連絡をいただき、参加の件で気にかけていただきました。
午前中より参加の男性2人と一緒、タクシーでの移動でした。
運転手さんも含め5人での移動でしたので、カーブが多い山道、後部座席3人はちょっと窮屈でした。
雨も降っていたのですが、大きな傘を貸していただけて自分の小さな傘では役に立たなそうだったので、嬉しかったです。
車内でも、外でも丁寧に説明していただけて良かったです。

The impact of the heavy rain disaster in May and the onset of the rainy season, along with unstable weather and delays at the time of departure, filled me with anxiety as I set off for Yakushima. Arriving at Yakushima Airport was a miracle, especially since it was a connecting flight. It was also miraculous that the mountain bus service resumed on the day of trekking, and despite heavy rain the night before, the weather was clear that day—truly a miraculous start to the trekking adventure.
However, I felt a sense of reassurance from the words of our guide, Shimozono-san, who said, "It will be fine. Let's do our best to go as far as we can."
On the day of the trek, I teamed up with my friends and two young women, making a group of four. "Today is the best," said Shimozono-san. With the June sunshine filtering through the deep green foliage, even though we were sweating, the breeze was refreshing. He helped us manage our pace as trekking beginners, and we successfully reached Jomon Sugi. The miso soup he prepared for our lunch was comforting.
We also took many great photos. Although I had continuously declined invitations to trek to Jomon Sugi, the sense of accomplishment of "I did it too" was overwhelming. Thank you so much for the wonderful memories.
5月の豪雨災害の影響と梅雨へ突入、地元出発時の気象の不安定と大雨で遅延と条件付きと、不安材料満載の中で屋久島へ出発となりました。屋久島空港に到着も奇跡、しかも乗り継ぎで。トレッキング当日に登山バス運行が再開となったのも奇跡、前日は夜間も大雨だったのに当日は晴れたのも奇跡で、ホントに奇跡尽くしのトレッキングの始まりでした。
しかし、前日にガイドのシモゾノさんからの「大丈夫でしょう。行けるところまでがんばってき行きましょう。」というお言葉になぜか安心感がわきました。
当日は友達と、他に二人の若い女性との4人でトライしました。「今日は最高だよ」とシモゾノさん。6月の晴れ間で深緑の隙間から光がさし、汗をかいても風が涼しく、長ーい道のりをトレッキング初心者の4人のペース配分して下さり、無事に縄文杉までたどり着くことが出来ました。用意してくださった昼食のお味噌汁浸みました。
いい写真もたくさん撮れました。
誘いを拒否しつづけてきた縄文杉トレッキングでしたが、「私でも出来た」という達成感は半端なかったです。
良い思い出を本当にありがとうございました。

The day after climbing Jomon Sugi, I was worried about whether I could go, but since the departure was at 8:30 AM and I was back at my accommodation by noon with a shuttle service included, I’m really glad I chose this plan. The guide was kind and took photos at various points, creating great memories. Above all, the scenery of the Forest of the Mononoke was amazing. Compared to the Jomon Sugi climb, this course is easier, so if you're considering this course the day after climbing Jomon Sugi, it seems that athletic shoes would have been sufficient, and you can go with minimal luggage—just water and your phone. If I have the chance to go to Yakushima again, I would love to visit this place.
縄文杉登山の翌日で、行けるかどうか不安でしたが、出発も8時30分と余裕があり12時には宿泊先に戻っている送迎付きのプランだったので本当にこのプランを選んで良かったです。
ガイドさんも優しく、ポイントポイントで写真を撮ってくださり良い思い出が出来ました。何より、もののけの森の景色が最高でした。
縄文杉登山と比べると簡単なコースになるので、縄文杉登山の翌日にこのコースを検討しているのであれば運動靴でも良かったようで、荷物も水と携帯のみという最小限で行けるコースです。屋久島に行く機会があればまた行きたい場所です。

I participated alone as a woman! On the day of the tour, there were six of us.
Since the Arakawa Trailhead was under construction, we started from Shirakawa Unsuikyo. It was a hard course that took 2 to 3 hours longer than usual, but we all managed to reach the goal safely.
It rained heavily, but at each spot, the rain stopped, and the guide took great photos for us.
Before we started, I was disappointed about the rain, but the vibrant green moss and the slightly misty forest were so beautiful that I think the rain actually allowed us to experience the true essence of Yakushima.
I participated in early June, and because of the high humidity, it got hot quickly once we started walking. A short-sleeve T-shirt was enough under the rainwear. We could refill our water from springs multiple times along the way, so a plastic bottle was sufficient (it's best to go light).
I initially used a folding umbrella, but on the way back, I relied on my trekking poles instead. Especially for beginners, I think it's better to give up on staying dry early and fully enjoy the nature of Yakushima (laughs).
The guide not only had a wealth of knowledge but also helped with pacing and finding great photo spots, so if it's your first time, I definitely recommend going with a guide. (I was so happy that they took such beautiful photos of the heart-shaped Wilson stump!)
Some may be worried about the recent rain, but even as an amateur, I was fine! I believe there are views that can only be seen now, so experiencing the emotion of seeing the estimated 7,000-year-old Yakusugi and the sense of achievement from trekking at the same time is something I highly recommend to anyone who is hesitant.
Thank you to the guide and everyone in Yakushima for a wonderful time.
女性ひとりで参加しました!当日は6名のツアーとなりました。
荒川登山口が工事中とのことで、白川雲水峡からの出発。時間も通常より2〜3時間長くなるハードコースでしたが、無事にみんなでゴールすることができました。
雨がすごかったのですが、各スポットでは雨も上がり、ガイドさんがしっかりと写真をおさめてくれました。
スタート前は雨が残念と思っていましたが、苔の緑がとても綺麗だったり、少し白んだ森が幻想的だったりと、逆に雨の方が屋久島らしさを味わえたのではないかと思います。
6月初旬の参加でしたが、湿度が高いので歩き始めるとすぐに暑くなります。レインウェアの下は半袖Tシャツで十分です。水分も湧き水を途中で複数回くめますので、ペットボトルで十分だと思います(とにかく軽装で行った方が良いです)。
折り畳み傘は最初は使っていましたが、帰りはストックに頼ることになったので使いませんでした。特に登山初心者の方は、濡れるのは早々に諦めて、屋久島の自然を丸ごと楽しんだ方が良いと思います(笑)。
ガイドさんは、さまざまな知識はもちろん、ペース配分、そして写真のスポットまでしっかりサポートしてくれるので、初めてであれば絶対にガイドさんと登った方が良いと思います。(ウィルソン株のハートをあんなに綺麗に撮ってくださって、すごく嬉しかったです!)
先日の雨でご心配される方もいらっしゃるかもしれませんが、素人の私でも大丈夫でした!
今しか見られない景色もあると思いますので、推定7000歳の屋久杉を生で見る感動と、トレッキングとしての達成感を同時に味わえるので、迷ってる方がいれば、ぜひおすすめします。
ガイドさんはじめ、屋久島の皆様、素敵な時間をありがとうございました。

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

Last year, it was suddenly canceled due to a heavy rain warning, so this year we made a comeback.

Also, our guide, Jennifer, was very knowledgeable and taught us various things about plants and insects, making us forget the difficulty of walking. I was also very happy with her consideration in adjusting the walking pace for us. The coffee we had on the way down was delicious.

また、ガイドのジェニファーさんは知識が豊富で、植物のことや虫のことなどいろんなことを教えていただき、歩くつらさも忘れてしまうほどでした。
歩くスピードの調整など、私達への気遣いもとても嬉しかったです。下山途中の珈琲もおいしかったです。
最高の思い出ができました。本当にありがとうございました。
Dear Mr./Ms. Nishiguchi,
Thank you for your kind words. (I'm a bit shy!) The weather was absolutely perfect! Thanks to you, I had a wonderfully enjoyable day. If there is a chance for a third visit to Yakushima, I would definitely look forward to it <3

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

I thought I would regret it if I didn't go at my age, so three of us women decided to try it. Although we made the decision six months ago, as the date approached, my anxiety grew since I usually don't walk for 10 hours.
On the day of the trip, the weather forecast had predicted no rain the day before, but it rained continuously. We set off hoping it wouldn't rain. Fortunately, we didn't get rained on, and with the guide's extensive explanations and appropriate breaks, we were able to meet Jomon Sugi. Although we were tired, we returned safely and had a very satisfying day.
Not only Jomon Sugi, but also the various plants and animals were wonderful, and gaining knowledge made the experience even more fulfilling.
I returned home from Yakushima two days later in the afternoon, on the day when heavy rain made the news. I'm really glad everyone was rescued safely. It was a trip where I felt both the beauty and the threat of nature.
Until I returned from Yakushima, I felt a sense of satisfaction and fatigue... But once I got back to my daily life, I found myself wanting to go again.
Thank you very much, Osawa-san.
年齢的に行かないと後悔すると思い、女三人でのトライでした。半年前に決めたものの、近づくにつれ、普段10時間も歩くこともなく不安が徐々に募っていました。
当日、前の日は天気予報では雨が降らない予報だったのに降り続いたそうで、降らないことを祈りつつの出発でした。
幸いなことに雨にも降られず、ガイドさんの幅広い説明と適度な休憩で、縄文杉に会うこともでき、疲れたものの無事に戻ることができ大満足な一日となりました。
縄文杉だけでなく、さまざまな動植物も素晴らしく、知識を得てなおさら充実した時間となりました。
2日後の午後に屋久島から帰宅しましたが、その日がニュースになった大雨の日。皆さん無事に救助されてほんとに良かった。
自然の美しさ、脅威。両方を感じることになった旅でした。
屋久島から戻るまでは、満足感と疲労感が…
でも、帰ってきて日常に戻ったら、また、行きたくなってる自分がいました。
大沢さん、ありがとうごさいました。
Dear Yumi,
Thank you for your comment.
The weather had been somewhat unstable, but on the day of your visit, you were fortunate enough to avoid the rain and arrived at the perfect time (I believe you are aware of the bad weather that followed from the news). Today, Yakushima has transformed into beautiful weather, and I truly feel like we are being tossed around by the elements. Yakushima is a place filled with multifaceted charm. If you have the opportunity, please do visit again.
ゆうみ様
コメントありがとうございました。
なんとなく不安定な天気が続いていましたが、当日は雨に降られることもなく、本当にベストのタイミングでいらした強運をお持ちのお客様でした(その後の悪天は報道でご存知のことと思います)。
また今日の屋久島は豹変したみたいに好天が続いており、なんだか本当に翻弄されている気分です。
屋久島は多面的な魅力が詰まった場所です。機会がありましたらぜひまた再訪ください。

I went to the moss-covered forest, and from start to finish, it was a continuous series of beautiful scenery. It was the first time I thought moss and water could be so beautiful. The guide's pace was just right, and I enjoyed listening to the explanations. Thank you very much.
苔むす森まで行きましたが、その森に行くまでも、最初から最後までステキな景色の連続でした。苔と水があんなにキレイと思ったのは初めてです。ガイドさんのペースもちょうどよく、解説も楽しく聞けました。ありがとうございました。

I participated on May 14th. It rained from the early morning, with the weather alternating between clearing up and drizzling.
This was my first time hiking, and I was only worried about whether I could walk for 10 hours, but once we started, I never thought about wanting to quit! I was able to enjoy the climb!
The trolley path was 8 kilometers long, and it felt like we were just walking endlessly. It was really long. The guide shared various stories and pointed out animal tracks and a nest of newborn baby birds, which made the journey enjoyable. Once we finished the trolley path, the real climbing began, and I thought reaching the Wilson stump was the hardest part. After that, the footing was relatively stable, so it wasn't too difficult.
The Wilson stump is famous for its heart shape, but honestly, I don't think I would have been able to take a nice photo of the heart without the guide. Many people entered the stump and quickly left, and I don't think they got a good shot of the heart. I couldn't tell what made the "Three Generations Cedar" special when I saw it myself, but the guide explained each one, which was very helpful. Along the way, there were trees that looked like dragons and recommendations from the guide.
The attractions on the tourist map were spaced far apart, so just climbing would have been tough. I noticed several troubles like shoe soles coming off and people injuring their feet, but those with a guide were able to get treatment and continue climbing. Some individuals who came on their own found the mountain too tough and decided to turn back.
Although it was my first time hiking, the guide adjusted the pace, provided breaks at good times, and offered miso soup and snacks for salt replenishment, which made the experience very enjoyable! If you're not an experienced hiker, having a guide is definitely recommended!
5月14日に参加しました。
朝一から雨でず時おり病んだり少し降ったりを繰り返しす天気でした。
登山は初めてで10時間も歩けるか不安しかなかったのですが、いざ始まってみるとやめたい!とか思うことは一切なく楽しんで登ることができましたっ!
トロッコ道は8キロもあり、ただただ永遠にひたすらに歩きます。本当に長いです。ガイドさんが色んな話をしてくれたり、動物の跡や生まれたての鳥の赤ちゃんの巣を教えてくれたりしたので楽しみながら進むことができました。
トロッコ道が終わると山登りが始まりますがウィルソン株にたどり着くまでが一番大変だと思いました。そこからは割と足場が作られているのでそこまでしんどくなかったです。
ウィルソン株はハートが有名ですが正直ガイドさんが居なかったら綺麗なハートの写真は取れなかったと思います。割と切り株に入ってすぐ出て行く人も多くいました。その人たちは♡に撮れてないと思います。三代杉なども自分で見たら何が三代なのか分かりませんでしたが、ガイドさんが一つ一つ話してくれるのでとても助かりました。
道の半ばにもドラゴンに見える木やガイドさんのオススメの木を教えてくれました。
観光マップに載っているものは間隔が長いので単に登るだけだと辛かったと思います。
靴底が取れる、足を痛めるなどトラブルがあるのを随所に目にしましたがガイドさんが付いている方は処置をしてもらって登ることができていました。
個人できている方は山がきついので諦めて帰る方もいました。
私も山登りは初めてでしたが、ペースを調節してくれたり、いいタイミングで休憩を入れてくれたり
塩分補給にお味噌汁やおやつをくれたり、とっっっても良くしてもらったので始終楽しく登ることができました!
登ったことがある、ベテランの方で無ければ絶対ガイドさんが居た方がいいですっ!

I participated in a course that started at 9 AM on May 15. It was raining from the morning, and the water level was a bit high. I had heard that there was quite a difference in elevation, but the path was better maintained and easier to walk than the Jomon Sugi trail. On the way to the Mononoke Forest, the greenery and the sound of flowing water were beautiful, allowing me to fully enjoy nature!
As the rain got heavier and the river swelled, some people turned back instead of going to the mossy forest. However, with the guide present, I felt secure and was able to reach the mossy forest. The mossy forest was truly vibrant green, and I was glad I crossed the river to get there! That day, there were heavy rains across the country, including the first in 50 years in Tanegashima, so unfortunately, we couldn't make it to Taiko Rock. It was good that the guide made that decision.
On the way back, the water level was even higher, so we took a detour that we usually wouldn't take. Since the detour wasn't a single path, I think I definitely wouldn't have been able to return without the guide. Also, because it’s not a path that people usually walk on, there was a lot of moss, and the greenery was much more vibrant than the path we had taken before, making me feel like I was in nature. I felt a bit lucky! (laughs)
A folding umbrella was very useful throughout the entire course. For those who exercise regularly or are used to hiking, there were many parts where you could walk smoothly with the umbrella without using your hands. However, for those who do not exercise or are elderly, it was difficult to climb while holding an umbrella, and there were moments when the guide had to carry some of our belongings. Since I exercise regularly, I found it much easier and enjoyed it more than the Jomon Sugi trail, but I think those who are not used to exercising should be prepared for some tough spots.
When climbing or during rain, I think it’s better to have gloves since you have to cross rivers.
The guides in Yakushima were all very friendly, and I felt like I was meeting a countryside grandfather. (My guide mentioned he was the oldest guide in Yakushima.) Before making the reservation, I was debating whether to just go to Jomon Sugi, but I’m really glad I went! I hope everyone gets to see it in person, so please prepare well in advance and get in shape to enjoy it!
5月15日に9時からのコースに参加しました。
朝から雨が降っていて少し増水していました。
標高差がかなりあると聞いていましたが、縄文杉よりも道が整備されていて歩きやすかったです。
もののけの森に着くまでにも緑や流れる水の音がとても綺麗で自然を満喫できました!
だんだん雨がきつくなり、川が増水、苔むす森に行かず引き返す人もいましたが、
ガイドさんが居たので安心して苔むす森にまでたどり着けました。
苔むす森はほんとうに緑が鮮やかで川を超えてでも行って良かった!と思いました。
その日は前日種子島で50年ぶりの大雨となるなど全国で天気が荒れた日でしたので、
残念ながら太鼓岩までは行くことができませんでした。
そう行った判断もガイドさんがしてくれたので良かったです。
帰りはもっと増水していたので普段通らない迂回路を通りました。
迂回路は一本道では無いのでガイドさん無しでは絶対戻ってこれなかったと思います。
また、普段人が通らないので苔が沢山生えていて、それまで通っていた道より格段と緑が青くて自然の中にいる気持ちになりました。
少し得した気持ちになりました!笑
全工程で折りたたみ傘がとっても役に立ちます。
ある程度運動している人や、登山している人なら手を使わず傘のまますいすいと歩ける箇所がほとんどです。
ただ、運動していない方、ご年配の方は傘をさして登るのは出来ず、ガイドさんに荷物を持ってもらう場面もありました。自分は普段から運動しているので縄文杉よりも全然楽で楽しめたのですが、運動をされていない方はそれなりにきつい場面もあると思った方がいいと思います。
登ったり、雨が降った時には川を渡るので手袋もあった方がいいと思います。
屋久島のガイドさんたちは皆さんとても人柄がよくて田舎のおじいちゃんに会ったような気持ちになりました。(私の今回のガイドさんは屋久島ガイドで最年長だと言っていました)
予約前は縄文杉だけにしようか悩んだのですが行って本当に良かったです!!是非生で見てほしいので、事前準備をしっかりして自分も鍛えてから楽しめる準備をして行ってほしいです!

The 10-hour hike was quite tough, but I encouraged each other with the people I was climbing with, and when I finally saw the Jomon Sugi, a sense of accomplishment and exhilaration welled up from deep within me. I'm really glad I signed up for this tour and got to see the Jomon Sugi.
10時間登山はなかなかしんどかったのですが、一緒に上っている方々と共に励まし合いながら登り切り、念願の縄文杉を見れたときは達成感と高揚感が芯から湧き上がってきました。本当にこのツアーに申し込んで縄文杉を見れて良かったです。

The weather forecast mentioned a possibility of rain, but we were able to complete the hike without a single drop falling. On the way back down the mountain, I started to feel pain in the back of my right knee, which was tough, but thanks to the support of our guide, I was able to descend safely, and I am truly grateful for that.
I was lucky to see the Japanese macaque and the sika deer, even though they were at a distance. I think I was at my physical limit, and I believe it would be difficult as I get older, so I'm glad I went.
天気予報では雨の可能性もあると言われていたのですが 一滴も降られることなく 完歩出来ました。 帰りの山下り中 右ひざの裏あたりが痛みだし 大変でしたが ガイドさんのサポートもあり無事下山でき 本当に感謝しています。
ヤクザル、ヤクシカも 離れた場所でしたが見れましたのでラッキーでした。
体力的にはいっぱいいっぱいだったと思いますが さらに年齢が上がると 無理だろうと思いますので 行って良かったです。

This is Yabuta from the Yakushima guide tour.
It rained, but I'm glad we managed to push through until the end without any major injuries.
Since it was your parents' wedding anniversary, I hope you can cherish the wonderful memories of your family trip to the beautiful forests of Yakushima.
Please come back to Yakushima again with everyone.
