I read in reviews from those who experienced it that you can enjoy the tranquility of the forest in the early morning, so I requested the early morning tour. We departed from the hotel at 5 AM, had our lunch at the Shiratani Unsuikyo parking lot, and then went trekking. In the Forest of Mononoke, they set up a kotodama for us to take photos, and they provided detailed explanations about the forest's ecology and plants, making it a fun climb up to Taiko Rock. We took a lot of photos and were very satisfied. Climbing early allows you to enjoy Taiko Rock without crowds, so you can take photos without waiting, which is great.
体験された方の口コミから、早朝の方が森の静けさを独占出来るとあったので早朝ツアーを希望しました。朝5時にホテルを出発、白谷雲水峡の駐車場でお弁当を食べてからトレッキング。もののけの森ではコトダマをセットして撮影させてくれたり、森の生態や植物の説明まで詳しく案内して頂いて、楽しく太鼓岩まで登れました。写真もたくさん撮ってもらって大満足でした。早い時間に登ると太鼓岩も空いていて、写真も待たずに撮れるから良いですよ。

Thanks to our veteran guide, we had a wonderful day. It was a tight schedule, so I was worried about whether we could walk the whole way, but we made it to Jomon Sugi safely. If it had just been us, we might have given up along the way. If the opportunity arises, I would definitely like to walk again.
ベテランのガイドさんのおかげで、楽しい一日を過ごしました。厳しいスケジュールだったので、全部歩けるか不安でしたが、無事、縄文杉まで行けました。私たちだけでは、途中で諦めていたかもしれません。
機会があれば、是非また、歩きたいです。

I saw the Jomon Sugi, which I had been longing to see, on my first trekking experience. The guide was very kind and considerate. There were some quite challenging parts, but we were blessed with good weather, and the tour lasted for 11 hours as planned, from early morning until evening. I was a bit tired, but I am grateful for the memorable encounters with the many Yakusugi trees. Thank you!
初めてのトレッキングで念願であった縄文杉を見てきました。
ガイドはとても親切な方で、色々気遣っていただきました。
かなりきつい所もありましたが、天候にも恵まれ早朝から夕刻まで予定通り11時間のツアーでした。少々疲れましたが思い出に残る屋久杉の数々との遭遇、ありがとうございました。

I signed up at the last minute, but there were two other participants, and we had a great time climbing together. They took care to adjust the pace according to our physical condition, and we climbed to Taiko Rock while enjoying various explanations, capturing many wonderful photos! It was reassuring to be guided by a veteran. After checking if we still had the energy, they took us to a special spot that was particularly beautiful. It seemed to be just before the busy summer season, so we really enjoyed it and had a fantastic trip.
ギリギリに申し込んだのですが、お一人の参加の方が他に2人いて、楽しく登れました。体調に合わせてペースなど配慮していただき、ゆっくり色々解説しながら太鼓岩まで登り、素敵な写真もたくさん取れました❗️ベテランの方にガイドしていただいたので、安心でした。体力が残っていればと聞いてくださった後に連れて行ってもらった、とっておきの場所が特に素敵でした。今はまだ夏の繁忙期より少し前だったようで、堪能でき本当に良い旅となりました。

I really wanted to reach Jomon Sugi, and although I felt it was reckless since I had no experience with trekking, I thought that hiring a private guide might help, so I decided to participate. From the moment I made the decision until I started walking, I was constantly anxious, but once I got off the bus, something changed. The atmosphere, or rather, the air felt different. The trolley path was refreshing, giving a sense of being surrounded by nature that was unlike any ordinary mountain. Moreover, the guide was incredibly attentive, teaching us everything from shoe advice to walking techniques, as well as explanations about the forest and trees. I could really feel their love for nature. There were so many moving moments on the way to Jomon Sugi. Every tree, small cedar, and fallen log was wonderful. It wasn't just about reaching the summit and coming back. I felt like I connected with nature for about ten years' worth of experiences. Jomon Sugi felt a bit distant, but I hope it can remain the master of the forest for as long as possible. Thank you, Takada-san, for helping with this challenge in my 50s and 60s!!! I'm grateful.
とにかく縄文杉にたどり着きたく、まるでトレッキングには無縁で、無謀とは思いましたが、
プライベートでガイドさんをお願いしたら、どうにかなるのではと思い、参加しました。
決めた時から、歩きだすまで常に不安でしたが、バスを降りた頃からか、何だか変わっていましたね。雰囲気をいうか、やはり空気が違います。トロッコ道も新鮮で普通の山とはまた違った「自然に囲まれた」感じとでもいうのでしょうか。しかも、ガイドさんが、至れり尽くせり、シューズのことから、歩き方、森や木々の説明まで、いろいろ教えてくれました。自然への愛をとても感じました。縄文杉まで着く間にもいっぱい感動がありました。どの木々や小杉、倒木もすてきでした。登頂して帰ってくるだけではありませんでした。10年分くらいの自然に触れ合えた気がします。縄文杉は少し遠く感じましたが、できるだけいつまでも森の主でいてほしいと思いました。 50,60歳すぎのチャレンジを助けてくれた高田さん、ありがとうございました!!!感謝です。

I apologize for the late post.
As a woman in my 30s participating alone, I can say that this was an absolutely wonderful tour. It was a trekking experience with our guide and six participants, including a couple and sisters, and we were blessed with great weather, making it a memorable experience!
About ten years ago, I had a traumatic experience on Mount Fuji and vowed never to go near a mountain again. I truly hadn't approached one since, but when the opportunity to visit Yakushima came up, I decided to face my trauma and participate, albeit with some apprehension. This experience made me realize the importance of having a good guide.
The pacing, explanations about the plants, and various considerations were truly outstanding. While it would be a lie to say I didn't get tired at all, the breaks and encouragement (like jokes) at just the right moments were greatly appreciated. Of course, the greatness of Jomon Sugi was impressive, but I also enjoyed the natural scenery along the way and was able to capture great photos at various spots while having fun!
Reflecting on my unforgettable experience from ten years ago on Mount Fuji, I remember it being tough, with a large group (around 20 people?) and feeling left behind, which still lingers in my mind. Because of that, I had distanced myself from mountains, and I now feel that I have truly missed out. This experience reinforced the importance of choosing the right tour company.
This time, I felt that I would like to go again, which was very positive. I look forward to the next opportunity!
投稿が遅くなってしまいました。
30代1人女性での参加でしたが結論から言うと、とても素晴らしいツアーでした。
ガイドさん、参加者の姉妹とご夫婦の6名でのトレッキングでしたがガイドさんにも参加者にもお天気にも恵まれ、最高の思い出となりました!
約10年前に富士山のトラウマから、二度と山には近づかないと誓い
本当に近づいていませんでしたが今回屋久島へ行くことになりせっかくなので・・とトラウマと戦いながら&身構えながらの参加でしたが、ガイドさんの大切さをあらためて感じました。
ペース配分や植物の説明にもろもろの気遣いなど本当に素晴らしいものでした。
全然疲れなかったといえば嘘になりますが、疲れたなと思ったタイミングでの休憩・励まし(ジョークなど)、先読みして気遣っていただいている感じがとてもありがたかったです。
縄文杉の偉大さはもちろんですが、
行く途中の自然も楽しみながら写真スポットはしっかり抑えて楽しく進むことができました!
富士山の忘れもしない10年前を振り返ると、しんどい・大人数(20人くらい?)・置いてけぼり、のようなトラウマがあり今も強く残っているのですが、そのせいで山を離れていたこともあったので本当に今まで損をしていたなという気持ちとツアーの会社選びは大事だと今回感じました。
今回、「もう一回行きたい」と思えたこと、とても良かったです。
また是非宜しくお願いします。

The guide was very nice, and we had a fun day. Since there were four participants this time, we traveled by taxi. I honestly thought it would be tough for three people to sit in the back seat all day, so I gave it four stars, but I was satisfied with the content of the tour. I think it would be difficult to visit everything on our own in one day, and the price was reasonable, so it was helpful to have someone take us around to various places.
ガイドさんはとても良い方で、一日楽しく過ごせました。今回は参加人数が4人ということでタクシーでの移動でした。一日中、車での移動なので、後ろの席に3人座るのは正直、厳しいかなと思ったので星4つにしましたが、ツアーの中身については満足しています。自分たちで全部回ろうとしたら一日ではきついと思うくらい、料金もお手頃で色々連れて行ってもらえて助かりました。

I suddenly decided to take a solo trip to Yakushima. I wanted to see Jomon Sugi, but I was worried about what might happen along the way if I was alone, so I requested a guide. Since the guests were just a couple staying in Miyano-ura and me staying in Awa, I think we were able to communicate in a cozy atmosphere. Also, our guide, Nakaji-san, was a veteran and very reliable, so I was glad I could participate without feeling isolated. It seems that the pickup times differ by 30 minutes between Miyano-ura and Awa, so as various sites suggest, if you find early mornings tough, I recommend staying in Awa.
I usually run, so I wasn't worried about walking for a long time, but the tramway path was indeed difficult to walk on, and I ended up looking at my feet to avoid spraining my ankle (which is understandable). Additionally, it seems there was an emergency transport this time, and the tram was dispatched. I was moved to see that a tram actually runs on that tramway, which is something so obvious yet still impressive (I apologize for the blurry photo).
Next time, I definitely want to enjoy the night and morning at Jomon Sugi with an overnight stay.
急遽思い立っての屋久島一人旅。縄文杉は見たいけれど、ひとりでは途中で何かあった時が心配だな、と思いガイドをお願いしました。
ゲストは宮之浦宿泊のご夫婦と安房宿泊の私だけだったのでこじんまりとコミュニケーションが取れたと思います。また、ガイドの中路さんはベテランでとても頼もしく、一人でも疎外感を感じずに参加できたのでよかったです。宮之浦と安房ではピックアップ時刻が30分違うようで、いろんなサイトでも案内されている通り、朝早いのがつらい方は安房宿泊をお薦めします。
普段から走っているので長時間の歩きは心配していませんでしたが、やはりトロッコ道が歩きづらく捻挫を恐れて足元ばかりをみて歩くことになってしまいました(これは仕方ないですね)。また、今回、救急搬送があったようでトロッコが出動していました。あのトロッコ道を本当にトロッコが走るのだ、と当然のことなのに感動しました(写真がボケていて申し訳ありません)。
次回は是非1泊で縄文杉の夜と朝を楽しみたいと思います。

I was worried about the weather and my physical condition, but I managed to do a proper warm-up and took on the challenge. While I was able to maintain my stamina, I did twist my ankle a bit, possibly due to my usual lack of exercise.
There were seven participants this time. One person injured their foot and had to wait at a rest point (they missed seeing Jomon Sugi, but they were able to visit Shiratani Unsuikyo), and another person participated until the end despite being in pain. Despite these challenges, we adhered to the final deadline and completed the course in about 12 hours and 30 minutes (which was an hour later than usual). This course is known to be hard, to the point that some guides refuse to take it, and one guide reportedly suffered a stress fracture due to doing this route repeatedly.
However, despite the busy schedule, the satisfaction of being able to see the highlights of Yakushima's trekking in one day was immense.
This time, there were discrepancies between the tourists and the guides regarding preparations, which caused some confusion about what to bring. We prioritized decisions based on the situation on-site, which turned out well (though there were some gaps in explanations). There were similar issues with other items needed (it seems that what's necessary can vary by season), and I felt a strong desire for more standardized guidelines.
天気と自分の体力が心配でしたが、なんとかwしっかりと準備運動して挑みましたが、体力は何とか持っても、日ごろの運動不足がたたってか、足を少しひねることがありました。
今回は7名が参加していました。一人は足を痛め途中休憩ポイントで待機(縄文杉はみれませんでしたが、白谷雲水峡OK)、一人は体を痛めながらも最後まで参加。そんなこともありましたが、最終のデッドラインを守って、約12時間30分の行程(通常より1時間遅い)で終了。
このコースは、ハードだから元から受けないガイドさんやこれが恐らくこれが原因で疲労骨折したガイドさん(連日この内容だった為)がいるほどのものらしいです。
ただ、忙しい内容ではありますが、屋久島のトレッキングの見どころ?が一日で見て周れる満足感は一入でした。
今回、観光の方とガイドの方の言い分に相違があり、持ち物の準備で困ることもありましたが、現場優先で決断。よかったです(説明に過不足あり)。他の準備物にもそのようなことがあり(時期によって、必要・不必要があるそうですが)、しっかりと統一されたものがほしいと感じました。

This is a challenging course that is originally meant to be completed over two days, but we did it in one. It requires not only physical strength but also the mental fortitude to not give up. There were times when I felt like I might break. However, the sense of accomplishment and emotion was multiplied many times over. Thanks to the guide's consideration and pacing, I also have fond memories of being unable to move for two days due to muscle soreness and fatigue.
本来は2日かけるコースを1日でまわるため厳しいコースです。体力だけでなく、諦めない気力も必要だと思います。私も何度か心が折れそうに。でもその分達成感と感動は何倍にもなります。ガイドさんの心配り・ペース配分のおかげもありました。2日は筋肉痛と疲労で動けなくなったのもいい思い出です。

I participated in the "Full Day Enjoyment Plan (Lunch Included)."
The bus guide was very entertaining, sharing the charm of Yakushima in a fun and engaging way throughout the day. Even while driving on regular roads, I was able to hear stories about the island that matched the scenery, making the experience more fulfilling than I expected.
During our trip on the World Heritage-listed Nishiibu Road, we encountered someone who had dropped their rental car into a ditch... It seems there are difficult spots that are hard to navigate unless you're a local, so I think it's safer and more recommended than driving around in a rental car.
To circle the island and have lunch included at this price is an incredible deal!!
Since you're just riding on the bus, it doesn't require much physical effort, and I believe people of all ages, from children to the elderly, can enjoy it widely.
If I had to mention one thing... since we often drive on winding roads, it might be reassuring for those who get motion sickness to have some motion sickness medication.
You can experience the charm of the island and enjoy all the highlights in just one day! I highly recommend it for those who want to indulge!
「1日たっぷり満喫プラン(昼食付)」で参加させていただきました。
バスガイドさんがとても面白い方で、屋久島の魅力を1日かけて面白可笑しく教えてくださいます。
普通の道を走行中でも、景色に合わせて島のお話が聞けるので予想以上に充実しました。
世界遺産である西部林道の途中、溝にレンタカーを落としてしまった人と遭遇。。。
地元の慣れた人でないと通るのが難しい難所などもあるようで、レンタカーで回るよりも安全でおススメだと思います。
島を一周して、昼食までついてこのお値段は破格です‼
バスに乗っているだけなので体力もほとんど使いませんし、お子様からご高齢の方まで幅広く楽しめると思います。
強いて言えば…入り組んだ道を走ることが多いので、乗り物酔いをされる方は酔い止めがあれば安心かもしれません。
島の魅力をたった1日で美味しいところ取りができます!
欲張りたい方には是非おススメです!!

I am a 30-year-old woman with no regular exercise habits, and I climb low mountains about once every three months.
This was a two-night, three-day whirlwind tour, and I signed up for this tour because I thought, "Since we're here, we want to see both Yakushima and Shiratani Unsuikyo!" On the day of the tour, it rained on and off all day... so rain gear is essential. I thought having a raincoat and a folding umbrella would be very convenient. On the other hand, the vibrant green of the moss was incredibly beautiful.
Since we were visiting two places in one day, the first half (from Shiratani Unsuikyo to Taiko Rock) felt particularly fast-paced.
I had heard that if you are just going to see Jomon Sugi, you don't need a guide, but I was able to enjoy Yakushima even more by listening to the guide's explanations about each tree and the island's formation!
In areas around Taiko Rock and Jomon Sugi where the paths become steep, it's much easier to climb with light gear, leaving everything except valuables behind. For those who are hesitant to leave their bags, I think it would be good to bring a large backpack for your belongings and a waist pouch for your valuables.
I was very satisfied with the wonderful scenery and the knowledgeable guide. This tour is recommended for those who are confident in their physical fitness, as you will be walking from morning until evening.
普段の運動習慣はなく、低山に三ヶ月に一回登るか登らないかという30歳女です。
二泊三日の弾丸ツアーとなり、『せっかくなので屋久島と白谷雲水峡の両方みたいよね!』ということで本ツアーに申し込みしました。当日は一日中雨が降ったり止んだりで…雨具は必須です。カッパと折り畳み傘があると便利だなと思いました。その代わり苔の緑が生き生きとしていてとても綺麗でした。
1日で二つ回る、ということもあり、前半(白谷雲水峡〜太鼓岩まで)は特にかなりのハイペースに感じました。
縄文杉だけをみに行くのであれば、ガイドさんをつけなくても良い、とも聞いていたのですが、やはりガイドさんからそれぞれの木の説明や屋久島の成り立ちについての話を聞くことができ、屋久島をより楽しむことができました!
太鼓岩周辺や縄文杉周辺など道が険しくなるあたりでは、貴重品以外は置いて軽装で登った方がぐっと楽になりますので、荷物を置いて行くことに抵抗のある方は、荷物を入れる大きなリュックの他に貴重品を入れるウエストポーチなどを持っていけば良いかと思います。
素晴らしい景色と的確なガイドに大満足でした。朝から夕方まで歩きっぱなしになりますので、体力に自信のある方にはおすすめのツアーです。

I was planning my schedule for the weekend, Friday to Sunday, while participating from Fukuoka. I really wanted to visit these two places, so I found a tour that goes to Jomon Sugi on Saturday and Shiratani on half of Sunday. However, since my flight back to Fukuoka is at 11:00, I thought it would be impossible to do a tour on the third day, and I was considering returning via Kagoshima. While searching, I found this site. I actually visited both places and was able to enjoy satisfying trekking.
The departure was from Shiratani Hiroba. The path was muddy due to the rain, but the moss in the mossy forest was beautifully fresh. When I reached the trolley road, the rain had stopped, and the route was smooth and not crowded, allowing us to reach Jomon Sugi. The guide explained that if we started from the Arakawa trailhead, we would have to march while stepping on the railway ties, which would be crowded, so we climbed from here instead. However, I regret that after parting ways with the guide and descending to Arakawa, there was a discrepancy in the schedule and bus times, causing us to return to the hotel late.
Next, I would like to aim for a day trip to Mount Kuju.
福岡からの参加で週末の金土日を利用して予定を考えていました。この2ヶ所を是非行きたいので土曜日を縄文杉、日曜日の半分を白谷というツアーは見つけていたのですが、福岡の帰りの飛行機が11:00発なので3日目のツアーは無理と考え鹿児島経由で帰ろうか?など探していたところ、こちらのサイトで見つけました。実際に2つを行き、満足できるトレッキングが出来ました。
出発は白谷広場からでした。雨模様の足元がぬかるむ道でしたが、苔むす森を通った時の苔はみずみずしい美しさがありました。トロッコ道に出たときは雨も上がり、順路もスムーズで混んでなく、縄文杉までたど着きました。荒川登山口からの歩きだと線路の枕木を踏みながらの行進になるので、また混みあうのでこちらから登ったとガイドさんが説明してくれました。ただ、帰りをガイドさんと別れて荒川口に下りたので行程時間やバス時間にズレが出てホテルに帰るのが遅れてしまった点は反省でした。
次は日帰り宮之浦岳登山を目指したいと思っています。

Dear Papuafriend,
I hope you are doing well despite the ongoing hot days. Yakushima has been unusually sunny, and the forest is eagerly awaiting the blessing of rain.
Thank you for your feedback. I could sense from your writing that you truly experienced and enjoyed the forests of Yakushima! I am very pleased that you highlighted not only the famous Jomon Sugi (Yakusugi) but also the moss, streams, and nameless trees. Although my guidance was humble, I appreciate the opportunity to connect you with the nature of Yakushima. If the chance arises, I would love to guide you through the forests of Yakushima again.
Please forgive my delayed response due to the busy season.
Hideaki Takada
P.S. Japan has a wealth of wonderful nature, so I hope you continue your journey to experience nature, starting with Yakushima.
