I participated with two female friends. We had very little experience with hiking and trekking, so we had a lot of anxiety, but it was helpful that they called us the day before, allowing us to ask questions. On the day of the hike, we were in a group of seven, and since the path was narrow, we had to walk in a line. It was a bit difficult to hear the guide's voice when we were at the back, but they adjusted the walking pace and break timings for us, so it was manageable. The round trip took 11 hours on the mountain trail, and by the end, my legs felt like stiff sticks, but the sight of the moss-covered rocks, fallen trees, and the presence of a 2000-year-old cedar that appeared when the fog cleared was very impressive. I didn't know how to get on the hiking bus or how to manage the time, so I'm really glad I requested a guided tour. If I have the opportunity to visit again someday, I plan to use their services once more.
友人と女子2人で参加しました。
登山やトレッキングの経験がほとんどなく、たくさん不安がありましたが、前日にお電話を下さり、質問が出来たので助かりました。当日は7人グループで、道が狭く一列に並んで歩く為、どうしても後ろだとガイドさんの声が聞こえず、少し苦労しましたが、歩くペースや休憩のタイミングなどは合わせて下さったので、大丈夫でした。往復11時間の山道、最後は足がカチカチの棒でしたが、苔茂る岩や倒木の光景、霧が晴れた所に現れた樹齢2000年を超える杉の存在感はとても印象的でした。登山バスの乗り方や、時間配分の取り方も分からなかったので、ガイドツアーをお願いして本当に良かったです。いつかまた訪問する機会があれば、その時も利用させて頂こうと思います。

We hadn't exercised at all, and after visiting Taiko Rock by ourselves the day before, we were exhausted and faced the Jomon Sugi trekking with incredible muscle pain. Thanks to the guide's fun explanations and kind advice, we were able to see Jomon Sugi! ✨ I'm really grateful! ✨ The miso soup served for lunch was also very delicious! Thank you very much! ✨ I highly recommend it! ✨
全く運動をしておらず、前日に太鼓岩に自分達で訪れた後で、疲労困憊、ありえないほどの筋肉痛で臨んだ縄文杉トレッキングでした。 ガイドさんの楽しい説明や親切な助言で何とか縄文杉を見ることができました✨

I was worried because the reviews about the quality of the guides were mixed. However, the guide who assisted us that day, Mr. Yokota, was very enthusiastic in his explanations and managed the pace perfectly while also handling our two noisy children. We were blessed with good weather and were able to create wonderful memories. I am grateful for that.
Webでガイドさんの質が玉石混淆のような評判だったので、心配していました。
当日相手をして下さったガイドさん(横田さん)は熱心に説明して下さり、やかましい二人の子供を相手しつつペース配分も抜群でした。

The day before, I walked around a lot and ended up more tired than I expected... I didn't think much about it when I signed up, but the bus after walking around is highly recommended. (laughs)
This trip had a short duration, but I was able to visit many places, so I’m very satisfied!! I also encountered the monkeys and deer of Yakushima, and I was able to soak in the negative ions from the waterfalls, making it a truly refreshing trip.
前日は色々歩き回ったのですが、思った以上に疲れてしまい、、、申し込んだ時はそんなに考えてなかったのですが、歩き回った後のバスは凄くおすすめです。笑
今回の旅は滞在期間が短かったのですが、まとめて巡れたので大満足!!屋久島の猿や鹿達にも出会え、滝のマイナスイオンも浴びて、ほんとリフレッシュできた旅になりました。

Please avoid tours from this company. Even if they are a bit more expensive, choose tours from other companies. I had a sad and painful experience due to the poor guide. The guide walked so fast that they left all eight participants behind. The explanations were only at the level found in a guidebook (and the voice was so quiet that more than half of the people couldn't hear), and the responses to our questions were inadequate. Without any explanation about additional fees, they lent us equipment and later asked for payment. The difference compared to other guides around us (who were engaging and provided plenty of explanations) was so stark that I became sad halfway through.
When I later communicated this to the roadside station tourism company, they said it was my fault, and there was no proper apology or even a refund for the equipment rental fees. Now I understand why they are cheaper than others. This company's tours should be avoided. I never expected that a once-in-a-lifetime experience would turn out like this.
この会社のツアーは避けてください。少し高くても、他の会社さんのツアーにしてください。とにかく、ガイドさんが悪くて悲しいつらい思いをしました。ツアー参加者8人全員を置いていくほど速く歩く。ガイドブックに載っている程度の説明しかぜず(しかも声が小さく、半分以上の人が聞こえない)、こちらの質問には適当な返事。料金がかかる等の説明なく、道具を貸して後で金払えと言ってくる。とにかく、周りの別のガイドさん(声掛けも説明もたくさんされている方々ばかりでした)との差がひどくて、途中から悲しくなってきました。
道の駅観光さんに後日上記のことを伝えると、私側が悪いそうで、適切な謝罪もなく、道具貸出の料金返金すらありませんでした。他より安い理由がわかりました。この会社のツアーは避けるべきです。一生に一度の経験が、こんな経験になるとは予想していませんでした。

I usually don't exercise much, so I was worried about the 22-kilometer distance, but thanks to the guide's precise pacing, I was able to complete it successfully. The explanations along the way were clear, and at various points, we were able to take photos, making for a wonderful guide. Seeing Jomon Sugi was a great memory, but even more than that, being able to walk the full 22 kilometers became a cherished memory.
普段はあまり運動もしてなく、22キロという距離が不安でしたがガイドさんの的確なペース配分のお陰で無事に完歩できました。

From October 7 to 8, we entered Shiratani Unsuikyo and stayed overnight at Takatsuka Lodge before descending to the Arakawa Trailhead. It was a trekking course with three of us who don't usually exercise and our guide, Yukki. We started the hike on a day that wasn't cold, and I was fine in just a short-sleeved T-shirt. Although we began with Yukki's guidance, I was filled with anxiety about whether I could make it to the top due to my lack of fitness. However, Yukki encouraged us, and we were able to reach the summit. If it had been a day hike, I might not have been able to keep up. Fortunately, although there were times when it was foggy, both days were sunny, which was great. It was quite crowded due to the holiday, but we felt like we had the place mostly to ourselves, allowing us to enjoy the scenery and listen to our guide's stories without missing anything. There was no waiting for the restroom either. I think it was a great decision to hire a private guide. I thought it might be a bit expensive, but it was definitely worth it. We were able to take as many photos as we wanted at the Wilson stump since we had the place to ourselves, and we encountered various things along the way, like Yakushima monkeys, Japanese rat snakes, frogs, insects like spiders, and different mushrooms. Yukki caught each one and explained them to us. The dinner pot Yukki made, the hotcakes for breakfast, and the ramen for lunch were all delicious. It was also very interesting to hear behind-the-scenes stories from our guide. When I visit Yakushima again, I hope to have Yukki as my guide once more.
10/7~10/8に白谷雲水峡から入り高塚小屋で1泊荒川登山口へ降りるトレッキングコースでした。普段から運動していない3人とガイドの藤山さん(ゆっきー)とでこぼこ登山開始。その日は寒くなく私は半そでTシャツで十分でした。ゆっきーの案内で開始しましたが普段の運動不足がたたり登りきれるのかなと不安がいっぱいでした。ゆっきーが声を掛けて頂き登りきることが出来ました。日帰りトレッキングだったらついて行けなかったかもしれません。ラッキーなことに霧がかかる時はありましたが2日間とも晴れでとても良かったです。連休ということもありとても混んでいたそうですがほとんど貸切状態でゆったり見れてまたガイドさんの話も聞き逃すことなく聞ける。トイレも待つこともなかったです。貸切ガイドさんを頼んでとても良かったと思います。少し高いかなと思いつつ頼んだのですがそれだけの価値は十分あったと思います。ウィルソン株での写真も貸切状態なのでこころゆくまで取ることが出来ましたし、途中で屋久サル・シマヘビ・カエル・クモのような虫・いろんなきのこなどなどいろんなものに遭遇。一つ一つして捕まえて説明して頂きました。ゆっきーが作ってくれたディナーの鍋や朝食のホットケーキ、ランチのラーメンも美味しかった。ガイドさんの裏話も聞けてとても面白かったです。今度屋久島へ伺う時もゆっきーよろしくお願いします。

I was a bit anxious because I was the only one in my 50s on a tour of seven people, with everyone else being quite young. However, the guide was very polite and kind, providing various explanations and taking breaks along the way. This made it easy to spend the whole day walking long distances in the rain without it feeling burdensome. Thank you very much. I believe it's best to go on a tour to see Jomon Sugi unless you're very experienced.
7人のツアーで50代の私以外は若い方ばかりで不安でしたが、ガイドの方はとても丁寧で優しく、色々説明して下さりながら、所々で休憩もしながらのペースで進むので雨の中、長い距離も苦にならずに1日過ごす事が出来ました。ありがとうございました。縄文杉はよほど慣れた方でなければ、やはりツアーで行くのがいいと思います。

It rained continuously from departure to arrival. Initially, I planned to hike from Shiratani Unsuikyo to Jomon Sugi and then to the Arakawa Trailhead, but the trolley path was too monotonous, so I decided to do a round trip in Shiratani Unsuikyo. On the way back, the river was swollen, making for a thrilling crossing. The guide was a bit older, but a veteran, so I felt safe leaving it to him. I was very grateful for his thoughtful care during lunch and breaks!
The next day, I was scheduled to hike Mount Miyanoura, but the guide advised, "It's better to skip it because the rain continues and it's dangerous," so we canceled this time. I would like to request the same guide when I go again next time.
出発~到着までずっと雨。当初白谷雲水峡~縄文杉~荒川登山口の予定でしたが、トロッコ道があまりに単調なので白谷雲水峡にピストン。帰りは川も増水していてスリリングな渡渉になりました。ガイドは少々年配ですが、ベテランガイドさんで、安心しておまかせしていました。昼食時や休憩時もさりげない心遣いに感謝感激!
翌日、宮之浦岳登山の予定でしたが、ガイドさんが『雨が続いて危険だからやめた方がいいよ』と言われたので、今回は中止しました。次回行ったらまたガイドをお願いしたいです。

However, it really is not suitable for anyone who isn't in great shape! I was still okay in the first half, but on the way back in the second half, my knees started to hurt, and it was tough. I was so exhausted that I couldn't even feel moved when I saw Jomon Sugi. I didn't even have the energy to take photos; all I felt was tiredness and pain in my legs. Let's choose a course that suits our abilities!

Thank you for your submission about your experience. Many customers visiting Yakushima come for a 2-night, 3-day stay. If you want to see both Jomon Sugi and Shiratani Unsuikyo, this course is recommended, but it can be quite challenging if you're not physically fit. Next time you visit, please consider changing the season and either walk each course one by one or explore other courses that you haven't visited yet.

We participated in a Jomon Sugi trekking tour as a couple, and we were blessed with good weather. It was quite warm for October, and we were able to experience the overwhelming nature of Yakushima, which made us forget our daily lives and return to our childhood spirit. However, due to our usual lack of exercise, both our physical and mental limits were pushed beyond what we expected. Thanks to the generous support and extensive knowledge of our guide, Ishigawa, we were able to have a moving experience at Jomon Sugi and safely return home, for which we are truly grateful.
今回夫婦で縄文杉トレッキングツアーに参加させて頂きましたが、天候にも恵まれ10月としては暑いぐらいの陽気の中、屋久島の圧倒的な大自然に触れ、日常を忘れて童心に帰った気がしました。とは言え普段の運動不足から気力・体力ともに限界を超え、満身創痍になる中、添乗員の石我さんの手厚いサポートと博識に支えられ何とか縄文杉にも感動的な体面を果たし、無事に帰宅することが出来ましたので、心より感謝しております。

Since it was a veteran guide, we were able to finish safely until the end. However, because they were experienced, I felt that the focus was more on safety and efficiently reaching the destination rather than on the quality of the guiding and entertaining the customers.

When I arrived at Awa Port, I received a confirmation call from the guide about tomorrow's trekking. Since I had rented some gear, they brought it to my accommodation around 9:00 PM.
10/7
Departure was at 4:20. The guide picked me up by car at the accommodation. We drove along a winding mountain road and arrived at the entrance of Shiratani Unsuikyo. It was drizzling a bit, so we had breakfast in the car. After breakfast, I paid 1,000 yen at the entrance of Shiratani Unsuikyo, and the trekking began! At Shiratani Unsuikyo, famous for its Forest of the Mononoke, the guide had prepared finger puppets of Kodama, which made for some photogenic moments. The weather cleared up at Taiko Rock, and we were able to enjoy a stunning view! At Wilson Stump, I saw a heart shape. We had lunch after seeing Jomon Sugi. For lunch, the guide prepared tonjiru (pork miso soup). After that, we descended the mountain. Around 3:00 PM, the guide gave me jelly and tankan juice. We proceeded along the trolley path and safely arrived at the Arakawa Trailhead. I took the bus at 4:30 PM and reached the accommodation by 6:00 PM.
〈Impressions〉
- It was very fulfilling and fun! I was worried about covering everything in one day, but with the stamina of a woman in her 20s, it's totally fine even if you don't usually exercise!
- The guide's hospitality was amazing! I don't know if it was personal, but they also gave me tonjiru and dessert. They took a lot of photos, which made for great memories! I was really happy to take a picture with Kodama in the Forest of the Mononoke!!
- I was able to sightsee efficiently! The guide taught us about history and nature. I thought it would be tough to deal with the sweat before heading home if I participated in a half-day tour on the second day.

It was a 24 km trekking tour from Jomon Sugi to Taiko Rock to Shiratani Unsuikyo.
We were guided along the entrance while walking the trolley path, enjoying the highlights.
On the way there, we fully enjoyed the unique cedars in nature, and we had a private moment at the Wilson stump, taking plenty of photos.
It was great to see Jomon Sugi before it got crowded.
On the way back, while climbing Tsujitoge, we were able to see wild monkeys and deer up close, which was a rare experience.
We were also introduced to a location that inspired a Studio Ghibli work along the way, adding to the sense of value in the experience.
We were blessed with good weather, so the view from Taiko Rock was amazing.
The area between Taiko Rock and Shiratani Unsuikyo had fresh greenery and streams, and the green illuminated by the light from the shade of the trees was beautiful.
I also enjoyed the return trip from Shiratani Unsuikyo.
I imagined that a long trek might be tough, but both the way there and the return were filled with excitement as we enjoyed the sights.
It may be greedy, but I think it was three times more enjoyable.
縄文杉→太鼓岩→白谷雲水峡の24㌔のトレッキングツアーでした
入口からトロッコ道を歩きながら、見所を案内して頂きました
行きに自然の中で特徴のある杉を満喫、
ウィルソン株も貸し切りのようなタイミングで、写真撮り放題
縄文杉も混む前でよかったです
帰り途中から辻峠を登っている途中、野生の猿や鹿も
間近で見れ、貴重な体験でした
辻峠の途中にジブリ作品のモデルになった場所も紹介
してもらえ、通り抜けしたお得感も味わえました
天候に恵まれたので、太鼓岩からの景色は最高でした
太鼓岩から白谷雲水峡は新緑も沢もあり、涼しく
木陰からの光に生える緑が綺麗でした
白谷雲水峡からの帰り道も楽しめました
長時間のトレッキングは大変かなと想像していましたが
行きも抜け道も帰りも、見所を満喫しているワクワク感で
欲張りだけど、3倍楽しめると思います

We set off from the lodge in the early hours before dawn, and the tour began with us having breakfast while still half-asleep. I was anxious about my first trekking experience, but the guide frequently checked in with us and carefully considered our pace, making it easy for beginners to climb with confidence. Along the way, we took breaks to hydrate at a spring and, if we had time on the way down, we could go down to the river to ice our feet, providing a truly unique experience. Trekking while enjoying the scenery from "Princess Mononoke" took a total of 11 hours round trip, but it felt like no time at all! When I saw Jomon Sugi, I felt an indescribable sense of accomplishment!
夜も明けきらぬ時間帯に宿を出発し、寝ぼけ眼で朝食を食べることからツアーが始まりました。はじめてのトレッキングで不安でしたが、ガイドさんがこまめに声をかけてきてくれて、ペース配分もしっかり考えてくれるので、はじめての方は安心して登ることができます。途中、水が湧いているスポットで水分補給したり、下山途中に時間がある場合は川に降りて足をアイシングするなど、非日常的な体験をすることができました。「もののけ姫」の風景を楽しみながらのトレッキングは往復で11時間かかったけれど、あっという間でした!縄文杉を見たときは、なんとも言えない達成感でしたね!

It was a course where I could enjoy Yakushima for a whole day, both in the morning and afternoon. However, it was a bit rushed, so I couldn't enjoy lunch leisurely, and I also couldn't take my time looking at souvenirs. I wished I had more time.
午前、午後1日屋久島楽しめるコースでした。
ただ、バタバタ過ぎて、お昼ご飯はゆっくり頂けず、お土産もゆっくり見れず。
時間もっと欲しかったです。

It was my first trip to Yakushima. I was torn between the Jomon Sugi course and the Shiratani Unsuikyo course, but I found a course that allows you to experience both in one day. I was a bit anxious about trekking from 4 AM to 6 PM, but thanks to our guide, I was able to enjoy the forest of Yakushima, where the Kodama (tree spirits) are said to reside. I took a lot of photos and created wonderful memories! If I go to Yakushima again, I would love to request the same guide. Thank you for the wonderful experience!
初めての屋久島旅行でした。縄文杉コースか白谷白雲峡コースか迷っていたところ、この2コースを1日で回れるコースを見つけました。4時から18時にかけてトレッキングをするのは不安でしたが、ガイドさんのお陰でこだまのいる屋久島の森を味わうことができました。たくさん写真を撮って頂き、素敵な思い出ができました!また屋久島で行くのであれば同じガイドさんにお願いしたいです。素敵なありがとうございました!!

The day before it rained, so I was worried about the weather, but luckily it only drizzled. Moreover, because of that, there was a rainbow in the view from Taiko Rock! Waking up at four in the morning and walking for nearly half a day was quite tough, but it was worth it.
前日が雨だったので天気が心配でしたが、運よく小雨程度で済みました。しかもそのおかげで太鼓岩からの景色に虹が!!朝四時起きで半日近くあるくのはなかなかきつかったですが、それだけの価値はありました。

I made a mistake at the morning meeting point and I sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused, but I was very happy with the kind and friendly response I received.
The sightseeing bus provides thorough information about the places we visit until we reach our destination, which is very helpful. They also taught me unique ways to take photos that I wouldn't have thought of myself, resulting in some wonderful commemorative pictures.
It was a fun trip where I fully enjoyed the rich nature.
朝の集合場所を間違えてしまい大変ご迷惑をお掛けしてしまいましたが 、
優しく親切に対応して下さってとても嬉しかったです。
観光バスは、目的地に着くまでに、行く所の情報をしっかり教えてくださるので、
とても助かります。 又写真の撮り方なども、私では思い付かないようなことも教えて下さって 、とても良い記念になる写真が撮れました。
豊かな自然を満喫した楽しい旅でした。

On the day I participated, it was raining from the morning, but in the forest, the trees acted like umbrellas, so I didn't feel it much. The guide was considerate and tried to show us good views, but in the end, we couldn't see anything from Taiko Rock due to the fog. However, it felt like we got to see a rare sight, and it was a lot of fun. The Shiratani Unsuikyo in the rain was nice too, with clear air, but I want to come back for a revenge visit on a sunny day next time.
参加した日は朝から雨が降っていましたが、森の中では木が傘の役割を果たしてくれてあまり感じませんでした。ガイドさんは良い景色を見せようと配慮してくださって、結局太鼓岩からは霧で何も見えませんでしたが、逆にレアな景色が見れたようでとても楽しかったです。雨の白谷雲水峡も空気が澄んでいて良かったですが、次は晴れている日にリベンジしたいです。

Dear Miyurinpeimama,
Thank you for the highest rating. Your child did a great job walking all the way to Jomon Sugi!
We would be delighted if your family continues to enjoy mountain climbing together! Please come back to Yakushima to climb the mountains again!
We look forward to the day we can meet again! Thank you very much.
