I finally got to take my long-awaited trip to Yakushima and participated in a bus tour to circle the island. Unfortunately, the western forest road was blocked, so the bus couldn't pass, which was disappointing. The driver and guide were both excellent. Thanks to them, I had a wonderful day.
念願だった屋久島旅行 島一周がしたくてバスツアーに参加させていただきました。あいにく西部林道が崩れてバスが通れなくてざんねんでした。運転手さん件ガイドさん大変よかったです。おかげで楽しく一日すごせました。

I wanted to feel the grandeur and vitality of nature that has continued since ancient times, so I joined this tour. We were picked up by bus at the early hour of 5 AM and taken to the trailhead, where the tour began. We climbed a long, long trolley path for about three hours, and then ascended a steep slope. The tour was challenging yet very enjoyable as I experienced the magnificence of the great cedar trees and the difference in air within the ancient forest. It was also a good opportunity to realize the decline in my leg muscles after many years of working in an office. I feel motivated to train my body and try again; I highly recommend this tour.
古代から脈々と続く大自然の荘厳さと生命力のすごさを感じたいと思い、このツアーに参加しました。なんと5時という早朝からバスで登山口に送られ、そこからツアーが始まりました。長い長いトロッコ道を3時間くらい上り、そこから険しい坂道を登山しますが、大自然の大きな杉の荘厳さと古代樹林の空間の空気の違いを感じながらのツアー工程は厳しくも非常に楽しいものでした。そして、長年の会社生活の間に衰えてしまった足の筋肉の減退を自身で十分に感じた良い機会でもありました。 体を鍛えなおして、再度チャレンジしてみたいとも思う、お勧めのツアーです。

The day before, I went on a Jomon Sugi tour, so I wanted to experience the nature that inspired "Princess Mononoke," and I participated in this "Shiratani Unsuikyo Tour." The hiking trail wasn't too steep, and it was a nice tour that could be completed in half a day. Along the way, there were indeed large cedars, and after a while, I reached the moss-covered "Mononoke Forest." It was a space that calmed my mind and created a very peaceful atmosphere, allowing me to feel a different aura from the city as I descended.
It was a very good tour.
前日に縄文杉ツアーに行ったので、続いて「ジブリのもののけ姫」のモチーフになった自然を感じたいと思い、この「白谷雲水峡ツアー」に参加しました。登山道はそんなに険しくなく、半日で往復できる程よいツアーでした。 途中には、やはり大きな杉がそびえ、また、しばらく行くと苔むす「もののけの森」に行きつきました。 そこは、心が和み、とても気持ちが静かになるような雰囲気の空間で、都会とは違うオーラを十分に感じて下山できました。
とても良いツアーでした。

On December 31, I went trekking to Yakusugi. I was worried about snow, but there was none; however, I had to endure heavy rain and hail along the way, and somehow managed to complete the entire trek. While marching for hours in the rain, I thought about how it must have been for soldiers in the past. Water seeped into my rainwear from halfway through, but I managed to keep moving and maintain my body temperature by changing my inner layers. A Ziploc bag is essential. The restrooms were available at intervals that were not problematic, contrary to what I had heard beforehand. However, after returning, my body was extremely cold, and I thought I might catch a cold, but after taking a hot bath, I was fine. On January 1, I trekked through the forest of Princess Mononoke. There was no rain, but the strong wind took away my body heat. Even without rain, my inner layers got wet from sweat, so I realized that adjusting my inner layers and having good outerwear is crucial during cold periods. On the way back, thanks to the kindness of our guide, we were taken to the western area where Yakuzaru and Yakushika can be found. It was a perfect two days.
12/31は、屋久杉までのトレッキング。心配してた雪はなかったのですが、途中からの激しい雨と雹が降り注ぐ中どうにかがんばって全工程を歩ききりました。何時間も雨の中を行軍する体験は、昔の兵隊さんはこうだったのかなあと思いながら歩きました。途中からはレインウエアの中に水が染み込みましたが、インナーを替えながらどうにか体を動かして体温を保つことができました。ジップロックは必須です。トイレも、事前情報より問題ない間隔でありました。ただ、帰ってきた後は半端なく体が冷えて風邪をひくかと思いましたが熱い風呂に入り大事には至りませんでした。1/1は、もののけ姫の森をトレッキング。雨はなかったのですが、風が強く体温を奪いました。雨でなくても汗などでインナーが濡れますので、こまめにインナーの増減やアウターの良いものが寒い時期には肝心だと思いました。帰りにガイドさんの好意で、屋久猿や屋久鹿のいる西部まで連れて行ってもらいました。パーフェクトな二日間でした。

I was feeling unwell, but I was helped by being picked up right in front of the guesthouse. I was able to circle Yakushima in one day and see monkeys and deer, visit waterfalls, the banyan tree, Inakahama Beach, and the Jomon Sugi. Considering the meals included at this price, the cost performance is so good that I was worried if it was worth it. The meals were like a lunch set from a restaurant that also had a souvenir shop. Guests participating in the tour ate together at two tables. It wasn't a very casual atmosphere for chatting with each other, so it felt a bit uneasy.
体調不良だったのですが、民宿前までピックアップに来てもらい、助かりました。1日で屋久島を1周できて猿や鹿も見れて、滝やガジュマル、いなか浜、紀元杉を周り、食事付きでこの価格ですから、元がとれるのか心配になるくらいコスパが良いです。食事はお土産やさんを併設したレストランのランチセットみたいなもの。ツアーに参加した客が2つのテーブルで一緒に食べる。お互い雑談するような雰囲気ではなかったので、少し落ち着かなかったかな。

Even if you're not very interested in mountain climbing, it's moving! The one-way trip takes about 4 to 5 hours, which is tough, but there are various types of cedar trees along the route, so you won't get bored. Once I saw the Jomon cedar at the goal, I forgot my fatigue. The return trip is downhill, so it's surprisingly easy to get back.
登山にはあまり興味がなくても感動します!
片道4~5時間は大変ですが、ルート上には色んな杉がみられるので飽きません。
ゴールの縄文杉を見たら疲れを忘れました。
帰りは下りなので、以外と楽に戻れます。

This was my first winter trekking experience, and I was a bit worried, but thanks to the favorable weather and the support of our friendly guide, I was able to enjoy it thoroughly.
Even though it was winter, I found myself getting warm while walking. I recommend wearing layers that are easy to take on and off. Also, since the wind can be strong, having a neck warmer and a secure hat is reassuring.
The trees covered in moss and the giant cedar trees were incredibly captivating and have become unforgettable memories. The spring water was also delicious.
冬のトレッキングは初めてなので少し心配していたのですが、お天気に恵まれ、また優しいガイドさんのサポートのおかげで楽しく終えることができました。
冬とはいえ、歩いていると暑くなってきます。参加する際は脱ぎ着しやすい服装で行くことをお勧めします。
また、風が強いのでネックウォーマーや飛びにくい帽子があると安心です。
苔に覆われた木々や巨大な杉の木はとても魅力的で忘れられない思い出になりました。湧き水も美味しかったです。

We participated as a couple in January. There were only two participants. It was a rainy day, and we climbed with remnants of snow. It was very hard, but with encouragement from our guide, Tecchan, we somehow made it to Wilson's stump. My wife was already exhausted, but it seemed she gained energy from Wilson's stump, and after that, she was able to climb to Jomon Sugi safely. The fog was thick, and we could only see the silhouette of Jomon Sugi, but it was still wonderful. On the way back, our guide, Tecchan, took some fun photos for us. I want to go again.
1月に夫婦で参加しました。参加者は2名だけでした。雨模様で、残雪が残る中の登山でした。とってもハードでしたが、ガイドのてっちゃんの励ましもあって、なんとかウィルソン株までたどり着きました。妻は、すでにヘロヘロでしたが、ウィルソン株からパワーをもらえたようで、その後は元気が出て、無事、縄文杉まで登ることができました。霧がひどくて、縄文杉はシルエットだけでしたが、それでも素晴らしかったです。帰り道は、ガイドのてっちゃんが楽しい写真を撮ってくれました。また行きたいです。

This was my first time at Shiratani Unsuikyo. I was unsure about the path and considered hiring a guide, but I also worried that joining a guided tour would mean having to match the pace of others and that I might not be able to take photos freely. I struggled with these thoughts quite a bit. However, in the end, hiring a guide turned out to be a great success.
Our guide, Watanabe, was knowledgeable not only about the mountains but also about plants, and he explained everything in a fun way, mixing in jokes. We were laughing the whole time, to the point where other groups commented, "You all look like you're having so much fun!"
He also taught us photo spots and tips for enjoying the experience, so we were able to capture some Instagram-worthy shots. Additionally, having the guide meant we could get group photos taken, which was a nice touch.
The breaks were well-timed and informative, allowing even a beginner like me to reach Taiko Rock.
I thought I wouldn’t get lost, but there was still snow from a few days prior, making it difficult to walk, and the path was hard to follow. On the day of our visit, there was a woman who had come alone and got lost, and the guide helped her. I really think it's better for those unfamiliar with the mountains to hire a guide.
For lunch, we were treated to warm miso soup and coffee. I was truly grateful to learn that they carried all the hot water and mats for everyone.
If we had climbed on our own, we would have missed many spots, and we might have been exhausted on the snowy path that appeared midway.
It felt more like having a companion to walk with rather than just a guide. They also shared recommendations for sightseeing spots for the next day, and I’m really glad I decided to hire them.
今回、初めての白谷雲水峡。道もわからないし、ガイド頼もうかな?という気持ちと、ガイドツアーに参加しちゃうと、他の人にペースを合わせないといけないかな?とか、自由に写真撮れなくなるかな?という不安とで、随分悩みました。
でも結果、頼んで大成功です。
今回担当してくれた渡辺さんは、山の事は勿論、植物も詳しくて、冗談を交えながら楽しく説明してくれました。
私達ずっと笑っていたので、他のグループに
「楽しそうですね〜」
と、言われるほど、、、笑
写真スポットや、その場に合った楽しみ方のコツやポーズも教えてくれるので、今流行りのインスタ映えも撮れちゃいますよ。笑。
また、ガイドさんにお願いできるので、全員揃った写真を撮ってもらえるのも魅力。
休憩は、説明を兼ねて上手に取ってくれるので、初心者の私でも、太鼓岩まで登る事ができました。
また、道に迷うことは無いと思っていましたが、今回数日前に降った雪が残っていて歩きにくかったし、道がわかりにくい状態だったようで、当日も一人で来ていた女性が道に迷っていて、ガイドさんが助けていました。
やはり山に不慣れな方は、頼んだ方が良いと思います。
お昼には、温かい味噌汁とコーヒーをご馳走になりました。
全員分のお湯やシートを担いで、登っていたんだと知り、本当に感謝の気持ちです。
自分達だけで登っていたら、見過ごしたスポットも沢山あっただろうし、途中から出てきた雪道で、グッタリしていたかも?
道案内というよりは、一緒に歩く仲間という感じかもしれません。
次の日の観光スポットも教えてもらって、
頼んで本当に良かったです。

The tour included Yakusugi Land and the Kigen Sugi, and it was a great deal with an excellent guide and the opportunity to take photos from the best positions! Since they also provide transportation back to the accommodation, it serves as a convenient alternative for those who haven't rented a car, making it a win-win situation!
午後からのコースをお願いしましたが前日には確認のお電話があり、安心して当日を迎えることができました!ヤクスギランドと紀元杉の見学でしたが絶妙なガイドさんの案内プラスベストポジションでの写真撮影もあってとてもお得なコースでした!帰りは宿までは送ってもらえることからレンタカーを借りていない方にはバスやタクシー代わりの交通手段にもなって一石二鳥だと思います〜

Initially, we requested a course to visit Jomon Sugi and Shiratani Unsuikyo in one day, but we received a prior notice and decided to split it into two days considering the weather. In the end, I think this was a good decision. Given our physical stamina and the fact that we had requested a private guide, we were able to walk at our own pace and learned a lot about Yakushima, the history of Yakusugi, and nature in a broader sense. We were able to meet Jomon Sugi safely and return! It was certainly not easy, but after resting for a day, we were able to recover our stamina to walk early the next day at Shiratani Unsuikyo. We progressed comfortably to Taiko Rock, and since there were no other visitors at that time, we could take our time and enjoy the experience. Although we had a different guide from the previous day, we had a great time hearing various stories from a different perspective. I truly felt that learning from the locals is the best! I would love to sign up again when I visit next time.
当初は縄文杉と白谷雲水峡を1日で回るコースをお願いしていましたが、事前に連絡をいただき天候を考えて2日に分けることに。これが結果的に良かったと思います。体力面を考え、プライベートガイドをお願いしていたこともあって、私たちのペースで歩け、屋久島、屋久杉の歴史だけでなく大きな意味での自然についていろいろ教えてもらいながら無事、縄文杉に対面、帰ることが出来ました!決して楽ではありませんでしたが1日寝ることで体力もある程度回復でき翌日の白谷雲水峡も早朝から歩けました。太鼓岩まで無理なく進み、ちょうど他の方がいなかったこともあってゆっくり過ごすことができました。前日とは別のガイドの方でしたが、違った角度からいろいろお話いただき楽しい時間を過ごせました〜地元の方に教えてもらうのが一番だなぁと実感!再訪の際はまた申込したいなと思いました。
Guruguru-sama,
Thank you for your hard work on the 1-day trekking to Jomon Sugi and Shiratani Unsuikyo (over 2 days). Many customers visiting Yakushima usually have a 2-night, 3-day itinerary. If you want to visit both Jomon Sugi and Shiratani Unsuikyo (Taiko Rock), it's better to do both in one day, but it's quite a tough course. If your transportation on the last day is in the afternoon, it would be easier on your body to split it over two days.
This time, two guides were in charge of Jomon Sugi and Shiratani Unsuikyo (Taiko Rock), so it was nice to hear different stories from each guide, wasn't it? Please come back to see Yakushima in a different season as well.

縄文杉1日+白谷雲水峡(2日間)のトレッキング、大変お疲れ様でした。
屋久島に来るお客様は、2泊3日行程が多く、縄文杉にも白谷雲水峡(太鼓岩)にも行きたい場合は、1日で両方回る方が良いですが、
かなりキツイコースですので、最終日の交通手段が昼過ぎであれば、2日間に分けた方が体的にも楽です。
今回は、縄文杉と白谷雲水峡(太鼓岩)を二人もガイドが担当し、それぞれのガイドの話が聞けて良かったのではないでしょうか?
また違う季節の屋久島も見にお越しくださいね。

The tour guide was also a great person, and since they explained the highlights along the way, I was able to walk leisurely and have a fun time.

I am a student at a technical college. We had a somewhat unusual school trip where we disbanded in Kumamoto and took four days to return to our hometown, Fukui. There are many places I want to visit along the way, like Universal Studios Japan, Beppu Onsen, and Hiroshima. However, I thought we should go to places we might never visit again in our lives. That's when I started researching and came across the idea of Yakushima. So, four of us students applied for this tour.
We started in the dark with flashlights in hand. It rained on and off along the way. I thought it was supposed to be cloudy according to the weather forecast, but I realized the terrifying nature of Yakushima's climate change. During the tour, we were able to see the sunrise. Since it was the off-season, we could take a lot of photos. During the busy season, other tour groups create lines, making it difficult to take pictures.
I won't describe my impressions of the Yakusugi trees because that would take away from the experience. It's something that can't be conveyed in words; you have to experience it to understand.
As students, we wanted to keep travel costs low. However, I thought this wasn't the place to be stingy, so after arriving in Yakushima, I rented a raincoat and hiking boots from a rental shop. This was a fantastic decision. It would have been a mistake to wear my own sneakers, as they would have gotten wet instantly. Even if it was sunny, there were still puddles left (and some deep ones too).
Another piece of advice... portable toilets? I didn't use them, but it's definitely better to have them available. I brought two bottles each of tea and sports drinks. We also drank spring water along the way. Additionally, a sports towel is necessary since you'll sweat a lot.
The guesthouses we stayed at before and after the tour were different, but it was reassuring that we could store our large luggage on the tour bus. On the day of the tour, I participated with just one backpack.
We ordered our lunch during the tour meeting when we landed in Yakushima and paid for it, so we didn't have to prepare breakfast before the hike or lunch along the way.
Well, that's about it. Although we were students with zero hiking experience, we were able to create unforgettable memories. Thank you very much. For those who will be applying for the tour, I hope you enjoy it. It will undoubtedly become a lifelong memory.
高専の学生です。熊本で解散をして、地元、福井に4日間かけて帰ってこい。という、ちょっと不思議な修学旅行。熊本から福井まで、USJとか別府温泉とか広島とか、いろいろ行きたいと思う場所はある。けど、人生でもう来れないかもしれないという所に行こう。そう言って調べ始めてたどり着いたのが屋久島という案だった。そしてこのツアーに学生4人で応募。
朝真っ暗な状況で懐中電灯片手にスタート。途中で雨が降ったり止んだり。天気予報では曇りだったのになぁ…と思いながらも、屋久島の気候変動の恐ろしさを実感しました。ツアー途中では日の出も見れました。閑散期だけあって、たくさん写真撮影も出来ました。繁忙期は他のツアーの人達が列を作るのでなかなか写真撮影が出来ない。とのこと。
屋久杉を見た感想を述べてしまうと面白みがなくなってしまうので省略します。これは言葉では伝えれません。体験しないと分からないものだと感じました。
さて、学生という訳でなるべく旅費を安く済ませたいもの。しかし、ここはケチるところじゃないやろ、って思って屋久島入ってからレンタルショップで借りたのがレインコートと登山靴。これは素晴らしかったです。大正解でした。自前の運動靴だと一瞬で濡れてしまいます。晴れていたとしても水たまりは残ります。(深い水たまりも沢山ありました)
他にもアドバイス…。。簡易トイレでしょうか。使いませんでしたが必ずあった方がいいですね。
お茶とスポーツドリンクは2本づつ持っていきました。途中で湧き水も飲みました。
あとはスポーツタオル、汗かくので要りますね。
ツアー前と後で泊まる民宿が違ったのですが、大きな荷物はツアーのバスの中で保管しておいて貰えるので安心でした。当日はリュック一つで参加しました。
お弁当は屋久島に上陸した時のツアーミーティングで注文をしてお金を払ったので、当日、登山前の朝ごはんと途中のお昼ご飯は、特別僕らが用意する必要ありませんでした。
ま、そんなもんでしょうか。
登山経歴0の学生達でしたが、一生の思い出を作ることができました。
ありがとうございました。
これからツアー申し込まれる方、どうぞ楽しんできてください。一生の思い出になること、間違いないと思います。

The day after visiting Jomon Sugi, I had to return on the evening flight, so I signed up for an early morning departure to reach Taiko Rock. Since there were only two participants, including myself, they arranged for a 6 AM departure instead of the scheduled 5 AM, allowing us to start just as it was getting light without needing headlamps. There were few people, making it easy to walk.
Although there were many clouds, the sun was shining, and it was a pleasant trek. There is a famous spot called "Mossy Forest," but the entire Shiratani area was a magnificent moss world, not just that particular place. Taiko Rock had a fantastic view, and I felt it was worth coming all the way here. It would be a real shame to turn back at the Mossy Forest, so I highly recommend going all the way to Taiko Rock.
縄文杉の翌日でしたが、夕方便で帰らなければならず、太鼓岩まで行きたかったので早朝出発で申し込みました。
参加者が私ともう一人しかいなかったためか、一応5時出発の予定と書いてありますが、6時出発にアレンジしていただき、ヘッドランプを使わずちょうど明るくなってきたころの出発で、人も少なくて歩きやすかったです。
雲は多かったですが日差しもあり、気持ちの良いトレッキングでした。
「苔むす森」という有名な場所がありますが、特にそこに限らず白谷全体が見事な苔ワールドでした。
太鼓岩はとても見晴らしが良くて、ここまで来てよかったと思える場所でした。
苔むす森で引き返すのは本当にもったいないので、ぜひ太鼓岩まで行ってほしいです。

My first visit to Yakushima was for the Jomon Sugi trekking, which I had been wanting to do for a long time. Since I don’t exercise at all, I was quite nervous about the 22 km round trip and 10-hour trek, but it turned out that 16 km of it was on a flat trolley road with minimal elevation change, and the actual mountain trail was only about 6 km, so it wasn't as tough as I had imagined.
On the middle day of the three-day weekend in November, the weather was perfect—cloudy with occasional sunshine after the rain, neither too hot nor too cold. I believe the guide's pacing was also perfect. There were seven participants, all women including myself, and the guide provided warnings about slippery areas and steep inclines in advance, so we were able to complete the trek without any injuries.
The only disappointment was that the fog was so thick at the top that my photos of Jomon Sugi turned out completely white. Some of the guides mentioned that they actually prefer the majestic feel of Jomon Sugi in the fog, but since it was my first time, I would have liked to see it clearly. However, it didn’t rain, and all the other cedars aside from Jomon Sugi looked beautiful in photos, and I could see Jomon Sugi clearly with my own eyes, so wanting more might be a bit greedy.
By the way, most of the guides in Yakushima work freelance, and only a handful are affiliated with any particular company. It seems they are dispatched from Company A one time and Company B another time, so choosing based on the reputation of a specific company's guides might not be very meaningful. However, the guide for the tour I participated in was excellent, and the other guides I passed along the way seemed to be enjoying themselves, so there’s probably not much to worry about in that regard.
初めての屋久島、絶対行きたいと思っていた縄文杉トレッキングでした。
普段全く運動をしないので、往復22㎞、10時間のトレッキングにびびりまくってましたが、うち16㎞はトロッコ道であまり高低差がなく、実際の山道は6㎞程度だったため、思ったほどではありませんでした。
11月の3連休の中日、雨上がりで曇り時々晴れ、暑くもなく寒くもなくという好条件で、ガイドの方のペース配分がまた完璧だったおかげと思います。
参加者は私を含めて女性ばかり7人でしたが、滑りやすいところや傾斜の急なところは事前に注意喚起して下さり、一人のけが人を出すこともなく全員完歩することができました。ポイントポイントで丁寧に説明もして頂けました。
ひとつだけ残念だったのは、上の方の霧がすごくて、縄文杉の写真が真っ白になっちゃったことくらいでしょうか。
ガイドさんたちの中には、霧の中の縄文杉の方が厳かな感じで好きだという方もいらっしゃるようですが、初めてだとやはりくっきりはっきりした姿が見たかったかも。
でも、雨も降らなかったし、縄文杉以外の杉は全てきれいに写真に納まったし、縄文杉も肉眼ではきれいに見えたしで、これ以上望むのは贅沢かもしれません。
ちなみに、屋久島のガイドさんたちは、ほとんどがフリーで働いてて、どこかの会社に所属している方はほんの一握りなのだそうです。ある時はA社から、ある時はB社から派遣されて、みたいな感じのようなので、「この会社のガイドさんの評判が良い」とか「悪い」とかで選ぶのはあまり意味がないみたいです。
ただ、私が参加したツアーのガイドさんもとても良かったですし、道すがらすれ違う他のガイドさんたちもみなさん楽しそうな感じでしたので、そこはあまり心配ないのかも。

I recently participated in a tour and went trekking to Jomon Sugi. Thanks to the guide's attentive care and thorough, interesting explanations at key points, I was able to enjoy the approximately 10-hour journey! The guide was relaxed and friendly, which made it easy to talk and enjoy the experience without feeling nervous from the start. Yakushima's great nature is truly amazing. I definitely want to visit Yakushima again soon.
つい先日ツアーに参加し、縄文杉トレッキングをしてきました。
ガイドの方の細やかな気配りと要所での丁寧かつ興味深い解説のおかげで、約10時間に及ぶ行程を楽しく乗り切ることができました!
ガイドさんはゆったりとしていて親しみやすい方で、始めから緊張せずリラックスしてお話ができて楽しかったです。
屋久島の大自然は本当に最高です。近いうちに是非また屋久島を訪れたいと思います。

I participated in the morning of my last day of stay. I was very satisfied to be able to see points that I couldn't visit on my own, slowly and carefully. The service provided by the driver and guide was wonderful. They shared a wealth of knowledge and experiences about the mountains, plants, and the island's history, and took many photos at each stop. As someone traveling alone, this was especially appreciated. It was clear that they had studied a lot, as growing up on the island doesn't mean knowing everything. It was a great way to wrap up my trip. I highly recommend this tour!
滞在最終日の午前中に参加しました。自力では回れなかったポイントを、ゆっくり丁寧に見ることができて大満足です。
運転とガイドを担当くださった方のサービスが素晴らしかったです。山のこと、植物のこと、島の歴史等、島育ちのさまざまな知識やご経験を余すところなくお話くださって、立ち寄る先々で写真もたくさん撮ってくださいました。ひとり旅だった私には、特にありがたいことでした。
島で育ったから何でも知っているわけではなく、とても勉強されているのも伝わりました。
旅のよい締めくくりになりました。このツアーは、本当にオススメです!

I arrived at Yakushima Airport around noon and participated in the afternoon tour. The itinerary mentioned a 50-minute walk through the Jomon Sugi and Yakusugi Land. So, I assumed that the Yakusugi Land tour would be the 50-minute course up to the Buddha Sugi. However, during the ride, the driver mentioned, "We will have about a 40-minute walk at Yakusugi Land," which gave me a bit of a bad feeling... Unfortunately, that feeling turned out to be accurate, as we only had a 30-minute walking course, and it ended in no time.
Looking at reviews, it seems that it can depend on the driver (and guide) for the day. That day, there were already four people who had been on a full-day tour since the morning, and three additional people, including myself, boarded from the airport, so the driver might have been tired. Well, it was inexpensive, and I was able to make decent use of my arrival day, but it was quite disappointing.
お昼に屋久島空港に着いて、午後から参加しました。
紀元杉と、ヤスクギランド50分程度の散策、という能書きでした。
なので、ヤクスギランドは仏陀杉までの50分コースなのだろうと思っていました。
が、車内で「ヤクスギランドでは40分程度散策します。」と運転手さんが仰るのでちょっと嫌な予感が・・・
その予感は的中し、なんと、30分コースの散策のみであっという間に終了してしまいました。
口コミを見ると、その日の担当ドライバー(兼ガイド)さんにもよるみたいですね。
その日は朝から1日コースに参加されてる方が既に4人いて、空港から私を含め3人追加で乗り込んだ感じで、お疲れだったのかもしれません。
まあ安いし、到着日をまあまあ有効に使えましたが、かなり残念でした。

To Koko,
Thank you for your hard work on the one-day trekking course at Jomon Sugi and Shiratani Unsuikyo. I was a bit worried before we set off since I heard everyone was a beginner, but I'm relieved that everyone made it to the finish line safely and energetically.
Whenever you miss Yakushima, please feel free to come back and visit!
