Yakushima
I participated in the morning course on the Yakuza Ru号. I visited Chihiro Falls two days ago on my own, but when I went as part of the course, it was lovely with the mist after the rain. The bus guide was a local, and he was very interesting and great. It seems that the Seibu Forest Road opened the day before, so I was lucky to be able to go there. I also saw many monkeys and deer! Thank you to the driver for navigating the narrow roads.
やくざる号で午前中のコースに参加しました。
千尋の滝は2日前に個人で行ったのですが、コースで行ったときは、雨上がりで霧がかかりとてもすてきでした。
バスガイドさんは地元の方で、話しが面白くとても良かったです。
西部林道は前日に開通したみたいで、回れてラッキーでした。さるやシカも沢山見れました！
運転手さんも狭い道お疲れさまでした。

A two-day, one-night trip to Yakushima. I was researching how to visit Yakusugi Land and the Jomon Sugi in the limited time I had on the afternoon of the first day when I discovered this tour. With the local bus, you can only visit either Yakusugi Land or Jomon Sugi, and I was also considering using a taxi for one way, so I decided immediately after seeing the tour price.
It was really helpful to leave my large luggage on the bus and enjoy sightseeing, and I appreciated being taken to my hotel in the Onojima area after the tour.
Additionally, I was grateful for the guide's consideration for guests who could only walk slowly. Having a guide made it easy to understand the highlights, and if I have the opportunity to visit Yakushima again, I would like to join the morning course as well. Thank you very much.
一泊二日の屋久島旅行。初日の午後から限られた時間でヤクスギランドと紀元杉をいかにして回ろうかとリサーチしていたところこのツアーを発見。路線バスではヤクスギランドか紀元杉のどちらかしか回れず、片道はタクシー利用も考えていたのでツアー代金を見て即決。
雨がパラつく中、大きな荷物をバスにおいて観光できたのと、ツアー後に尾之間エリアのホテルまで送っていただけたのは本当に助かりました。
また、ガイドさんの、ゆっくりしか歩けないゲストへの気配り心配りもありがたかったです。案内が付くことで見どころもよくわかり、また屋久島に行く機会があれば、午前のコースにも参加したいです。
ありがとうございました。

I participated the day after trekking at Shiratani Unsuikyo. I was suffering from severe muscle pain due to my lack of exercise, but it was great to be able to enjoy sightseeing comfortably. For those who want to take their time to see each spot, the sightseeing time might feel a bit short, but considering that it's possible to cover everything in one day, I think it's sufficient. I appreciated the thoughtful gestures, like allowing my companion with back pain to use the back seat and stopping the bus when we spotted a family of monkeys along the way. The only downside was that the Western Forest Road was closed, but I believe it gives me something to look forward to next time.
白谷雲水峡トレッキングの翌日に参加しました。日頃の運動不足がたたってバリバリの筋肉痛だったのですが、楽して観光が出来てとても良かったです。一つ一つをじっくり見たい方には少し観光時間が物足りないかもしれませんが、1日で回れることを考えれば充分だと思います。腰痛持ちの同行者のために後部座席を使わせて頂いたり、途中やくざるの親子がいればバスを止めて下さったり細やかな気遣いが有り難かったです。唯一、西部林道が通行止めだったのが残念ですが、次の楽しみが出来たと思っています。

I'm glad I had the guide explain things to me. Since I was traveling alone, it was a great help to have someone pick me up at the airport and take me to my accommodation. Thank you very much.
ガイドさんに説明してもらってよかったです。
一人旅だったので、空港に迎えに来てもらって宿送りは助かりました。ありがとうございました。

Please be careful while driving, as monkeys have been spotted in various places along the roads where there are no houses nearby.
住宅がすぐそばにないところは、道路のところどころにさるが出てきているので車の運転には注意してください。

The weather gradually worsened, and our guide mentioned, "Even if we go to Chihiro Falls, you might only hear the sound and not see the waterfall," but we were able to see it safely! For some reason, when we got out of the car at other spots like Gajumaru and Okawa Falls, it would start to drizzle or the rain would stop... It felt miraculous that we could enjoy everything. On the way back, I was grateful for the kind ride back to the hotel. I was worried about whether the plane would take off, but miraculously, it cleared up and we flew safely! It's quite difficult to explore Yakushima alone, but thanks to this experience, I had a fulfilling and memorable trip to Yakushima.
天候がだんだん悪くなり、ガイドさんから「千尋滝に行っても、音だけで滝は見られないかも」とのお話がありましたが、無事見ることができました！
その他ガジュマルや大川の滝もなぜか車を降りると小雨になったり、雨が止んだり…
奇跡のようにすべてを楽しむことができました。
帰り、親切にホテルまで送ってくださってありがたかったーです。
飛行機が飛ぶか心配でしたが、これも奇跡的に晴れて、無事飛びました！
なかなか一人では、屋久島を回ることはできませんが、お陰様で充実した思い出深い屋久島旅行になりました。

As a person who doesn't drive, I was very grateful for this bus tour since I couldn't use a rental car.
I participated in the morning tour, and I was able to fully enjoy Yakushima's nature, from the mountains to the sea.
We visited numerous spots, and I felt that the free time for exploration at each location was more than sufficient.
ペーパードライバーの自分にはレンタカーが使えなかったので、このようなバスツアーはとてもありがたかったです。
私は午前中のみのツアーでしたが、山から海まで十分に屋久島の自然を味わえました。
数多くのスポットを巡りましたが、それぞれのスポットでの自由散策の時間も必要十分だったと感じました。

Since it was the day before going to see Jomon Sugi, I chose an easy tour. I was impressed by the smooth explanations from the bus guide. I was lucky to see the Yakushima monkeys two or three times.
縄文杉を見に行く前日なので、楽なツアーを選びました。バスガイドさんの流れる様な説明に感心しました。2、3度屋久猿に会えてラッキーでした。

We circled the island in a small bus, including narrow forest roads. There was plenty of time to explore the main sightseeing spots. We visited Yakusugi trees, waterfalls, banyan trees, and turtle nesting sites, and for lunch, we had a fried flying fish set meal. The guide's explanations were very interesting, and I learned a lot about the island's history and nature. I participated alone, but the guide kindly took photos for me, which made for great memories. It was a lot of fun.
小型バスで細い林道も含め島を一周。
主な観光スポットではたっぷり見学の時間がありました。屋久杉、滝、ガジュマル、海亀の産卵の跡などをめぐりお昼は飛び魚の唐揚げ定食です。
ガイドさんの解説がとても面白く島の歴史や自然について勉強になります。
ひとり参加でしたが写真を快く撮ってくださりおかげでよい記念になりました。
とても楽しかったです。

A tour that allows you to easily circle Yakushima. The waterfalls were great, and I don't think it's necessary to go to the Nakama Gajumaru. Instead, I think it would be better to spend a bit more time at Yakusugi Land. Since Yakusugi Land is easy to walk through, I think doing the 80-minute course would provide a nice little hiking experience.
手軽に屋久島を一周できるツアー。滝が良かった、中間ガジュマルあまり行く必要ないと思う、代わりにヤクスギランドもちょっと時間が増やすいいと思う、ヤクスギランドは歩きやすいので80分コースしてちょびっと登山体験できるいいと思う。

For elderly individuals who may find it physically challenging to reach Jomon Sugi, a 30 to 50-minute walk leads to the Thousand-Year Cedar Forest. You can also see the Millennium Cedar by bus.
縄文杉までは体力的に無理な高齢者には、30~50分のウォーキングで千年杉の森。バスで紀元杉が観る事が出来ました。

Yakushima has many narrow roads, so for those who are not very confident in driving, I recommend taking a bus tour rather than renting a car. It allowed us to efficiently and safely circle the island.
屋久島は狭い道もたくさんあるので、運転があまり得意ではない方はレンタカーを借りるよりも、バスツアーのほうがオススメです。
効率よく、安全に屋久島一周できました。

I was taken to the captivating spots of Yakushima in no time, and I had a wonderful time. The guide's stories were very interesting, and it was meaningful to be able to learn about Yakushima while sightseeing. I was also happy that we could take photos from great spots. It would be quite challenging to explore on your own, but we were able to travel around by bus, and there were thoughtful stops for walking along the Western Forest Road, which was great. We participated in a half-day course on the morning of our last day in Yakushima. It was packed with activities until the very end, allowing us to fully enjoy Yakushima. My main purpose for visiting this time was to trek to Jomon Sugi, and I felt that I was able to make good use of my time, as we nearly circled the island and even encountered deer and monkeys. Thank you very much.
屋久島の魅力的なスポットにぱっと連れて行っていただけて、とても楽しめました。ガイドさんのお話は大変おもしろく、屋久島について学びながら観光ができて有意義でした。写真もいい位置で撮っていただけるので嬉しかったです。個人で回るのは大変なところを、一気にバスで連れて行って頂けますし、西部林道でも一時停車して歩くなど、ツアーに工夫もされていてとても良かったです。私達は屋久島旅行の最終日の朝の半日コースに参加しました。最後の日まで盛りだくさんで、屋久島を満喫できました。縄文杉トレッキングを一番の目的に今回、屋久島に訪問しましたが島をほぼ一周できて、鹿や猿にも会えて、いい時間の使い方ができたように思います。ありがとうございました。

The weather in the morning was not great, but somehow it held up, and at Nagata Inaka Beach, we were able to see the cobalt blue sea. The Oka Falls and the encounter with the Yakushima deer and Yakushima macaques on the Western Forest Road were also wonderful.
Towards the end of the tour, it started to rain again, and the driver advised us that there was a possibility of flight cancellations, so it would be better to head to the airport early. He also showed us where the bus stop for the airport was. As expected, due to poor visibility, our flight was canceled, and we ended up taking a high-speed ferry to Kagoshima the next day, returning from Kagoshima Airport. Thanks to going to the airport early, I was able to manage to book accommodations for that night and the high-speed ferry for the next day, which was a relief.
当日朝は天気がいまいちでしたが、何とか持って、永田いなか浜では晴れ、コバルトブルーの海が見れました。大川の滝も、西部林道でのヤクシカ、ヤクザルとのご対面も良かったです。
ツアーの終わりごろまた雨が降り出し、解散時に運転手さんから飛行機の欠航可能性があるので、早めに空港に行った方が良いとアドバイスされ、空港行きのバス停を教えてもらいました。案の定、視界不良で欠航、翌日高速船で鹿児島に渡り、鹿児島空港から帰ることになりました。早めに空港に行ったおかげで、当日の宿や、翌日の高速船の予約も何とか出来て、助かりました。

It was very convenient to have a tour that takes you around the island, especially to sightseeing spots that are hard to reach without a car. The guide and driver were kind, and I had a pleasant time. The guide was great at storytelling and was knowledgeable not only about the sightseeing spots but also about the local flora and fauna. The stories about local life were very interesting. For lunch, we had a bento-style meal that was delicious, and considering the tour content and lunch for 5,500 yen, I felt it was very reasonable.
ぐるっと島内を一周して、車がないと行きにくい観光スポットをまわってくれるので大変便利です。ガイドさんやドライバーさんも親切で、気持ちよく過ごせました。ガイドさんはお話上手で、観光スポットだけではなく、動植物にも詳しく、また地元生活の話は大変面白かったです。お昼ご飯は、幕の内弁当風でしたが、美味しくて、観光の内容とお昼ご飯つきで、5500円というのは大変リーズナブルだと感じました。

All the areas I recognized from the guidebook were covered, and lunch was included. It was quite good. Personally, I think the performance is worth the 12,800 yen, especially since it includes lunch.
ガイドブックで見覚えがあるエリアは全て網羅され且つ昼食付き。かなり良かったです。個人的には12,800円でも「昼飯付きだから」と納得出来るパフォーマンスと思います。

It's not a large island, so by taking this bus, you can get a good overview of Yakushima. The flying fish fry for lunch was delicious, and the bus guide was kind. It was an enjoyable tour.
大きな島ではないので

On May 2nd, I participated in a Yakuzaru sightseeing tour around Yakushima. After a tiring camping trip the day before, hiking from Mount Miyanoura to Jomon Sugi and Shiratani Unsuikyo, this bus tour of Yakushima's famous spots was just perfect. The beautiful views of the sea and mountains from the window were amazing. The guide, Ms. Kawasaki (a woman who was born and raised in Yakushima and loves the island), was very entertaining and made the experience a lot of fun. I was impressed by Chihiro Falls, Okawa Falls, and the beautiful sandy beach at Inakahama. On the way to Seibu Forest Road and Yakusugi Land, I also encountered cute Yakuzaru and deer, which was fantastic. The fried flying fish I had for lunch was delicious, making it a very satisfying sightseeing tour. It's definitely more efficient than renting a car, and you get to enjoy the guide's fun explanations, so I highly recommend it.
5月2日にやくざる号での屋久島周遊観光に参加しました。前日の宮之浦岳〜縄文杉〜白谷雲水峡の縦走登山キャンプで疲れた体には屋久島の名所をバスで回ってくれる周遊観光ツアーはとっても良かったです。窓から見る美しい海と山の景色は最高でした。ガイドの川崎さん？（屋久島で生まれ育った屋久島を愛する女性）のトークもすごく面白く大変楽しかったです。千尋の滝、大川の滝、田舎浜の綺麗な砂浜には感動しました。西部林道やヤクスギランドに行く途中で可愛いやくざるや鹿さんにも出会えて最高でした。お昼に食べたとび魚の唐揚げも美味しくてとても満足な周遊観光でした。レンタカーを借りて廻るより効率的でガイドさんの楽しい説明も聞けるので絶対におすすめです。

For those visiting Yakushima for the first time!!
For those who haven't been in a while...
A bus tour around Yakusugi Land and the Jomon Cedar will serve as a foundational study for Yakushima sightseeing.
Since I participated in this tour at the beginning of my 4-night, 5-day trip, it was very helpful.
I think it's good to visit Shiratani Unsuikyo (6-7 km) followed by the Jomon Cedar (22 km) for a gradual acclimatization.
「やくざる号」午後
初めて、屋久島を訪れる方に！！
久々の方へも、、、
ヤクスギランド、紀元杉をバスで、周り、屋久島観光の基礎勉強となります。
屋久島旅行の始めに（初日）ツアーに参加したので、4泊5日の旅行に非常に役だちました。
白谷雲水峡6〜7km、縄文杉22kmの登山の順に観光すると、身体も慣れるので、良いと思います。

You can take a bus tour around Yakushima, visiting famous sightseeing spots in just one day. The time spent at each location is a bit short, so it feels like you're moving quickly, but you can still enjoy it thoroughly. Thanks to the guide's explanations, the experience goes beyond just looking; you can learn about the names and ecology of the flora and fauna, as well as the history and current situation of Yakushima, which I think is the charm of the tour. It's an experience that you wouldn't get from exploring freely with a rental car. I especially recommend it for those visiting Yakushima for the first time.
屋久島を１日かけて有名な観光名所をぐるっとバスで回ります。各所の滞在時間はやや短めなのでサクサク進む感じはありますが、それでも充分楽しめます。
ガイドさんのお話しのお陰でただ観るだけで終わらず、動植物の名前や生態、屋久島の歴史や現状など豆知識を知りながら観光ができるのはツアーの醍醐味だと思います。レンタカーでの自由な観光では得られない体験ができると思います。特に屋久島に来るのが初めての方にはお勧めしたいです。

I was satisfied with the bus tour as it efficiently took us to places that are hard to visit individually. It was pouring rain that day, and Chihiro Falls was shrouded in mist, but after a little while, we could see the appearance of the falls, and it was nice to see the waterfall flowing from the side as well. The lunch venue served flying fish, which was great. They also recommended some souvenirs, and one of them, the mystery of Yakushima, was quite delicious.
バスツアーで個人では行きづらいところを効率よく回れて満足。
この日は大雨で、千尋の滝は霧がかかっていましたが、
少し時間がたつと滝の外観が見えたし、
横から流れる滝も見れてよかった。
昼の昼食会場はトビウオが食べられてよかった。
お勧めのお土産も教えてもらって、

The bus didn't arrive, so I called, and a replacement taxi was dispatched, providing excellent service. The driver had been a guide for trekking tours, and he was very knowledgeable, which helped me prepare for the trekking the next day. Since there weren't any places to eat for dinner, he kindly stopped at a supermarket, which was a great help. Thank you very much for everything!
バスが来なくて、電話したところ、代車のタクシーが配車されて、手厚く対応頂きました。
ドライバーはトレッキングツアーのガイドをされていたそうで、ガイドも詳しく、翌日のトレッキングの参考になりました。夕飯も食べるところがなかったため、スーパーに立ち寄ってくださって、大変助かりました。いろいろとありがとうございました！

Yakushima, known for its frequent rain. On this day, it was unfortunately rainy as well, but it lightened up a bit after passing Anbo, and the sun was shining at Inakahama. When we arrived in Miyanoura, it started raining again. It seems this is typical weather for Yakushima. I was surprised to find that a guide was included at this price. Moreover, the explanations were witty and entertaining, making it enjoyable. The lunch set was luxurious, and we even got to have coffee. I recommend this for tourists who cannot drive.
雨の多い屋久島。この日もあいにくの雨でしたが、安房を過ぎたあたりから小ぶりになり、いなか浜ではお日様が出ていました。宮ノ浦に来るとまた雨。屋久島あるあるのお天気だそうです。このお値段でガイドさんが付くとは思っていなかったので、びっくりしました。しかも説明が軽妙で面白く、楽しめました。ランチのお膳は豪華で、コーヒーまで飲めました。運転ができない観光客にはお勧めです。

I visited Yakushima without a car. The tour allowed us to efficiently visit the sightseeing spots around the island. At Ohkawa Falls, I was overwhelmed by the powerful water flow, and on the Western Forest Road, which is not accessible by public bus, I encountered many Yakushima monkeys and Yakushima deer!
At each sightseeing location, there was just the right amount of free time, so I was happy to be able to use the restroom and buy souvenirs.
What was most appealing was that the guide shared information about the island's specialties, industries, and the characteristics of each village, all while we enjoyed the views from the bus. I was able to experience the charm of the island that you can't find in guidebooks.
車なしで屋久島に行きました。ツアーでは、島全体の観光スポットを効率よくまわることができました。大川の滝では、迫力ある水量に圧倒され、公営バスでは行くことができない西部林道では、屋久猿や屋久鹿にたくさん出会えました！
それぞれの観光地では、ちょうどよい自由時間があったので、トイレに行ったりお土産を買ったりできたのも嬉しかったです。
何より魅力的だったのは、ガイドさんにバスから見える景色に合わせて、島の特産や産業、島の集落ごとの特徴などを教えていただいたことです。
ガイドブックでは分からない、島の魅力に触れることができました。

Kawasaki's guide was very easy to listen to and enjoyable. Her stories about the hot springs at the witching hour were amusing, and the explanations about the Yakushima monkeys and souvenirs were informative. It was also fun to walk in the World Heritage area. However, I really wanted a hot miso soup for lunch. It's a shame because the flavor of the bento was good.
川崎さんのガイドはとても聞きやすく楽しかったです。彼女の丑三つ時の温泉話には笑いがありましたし屋久島猿のお話、お土産品の説明もためになりました。世界遺産エリアを歩けたのも楽しかったです。ただお昼ご飯の味噌汁だけは熱いのが飲みたかったです。お弁当の味は良かったのに残念でした。

You can take a full day to circle Yakushima. Renting a car is fine, but the bus guide provided detailed explanations, so it was worth the extra cost. The lunch was not anything special, so don't expect much. Chihiro Falls, Okawa Falls, Yakusugi Land, and the wild deer and monkeys were particularly great.
屋久島を一日かけて一周してくれます。
レンタカーでも良いですがバスガイドさんの詳しい説明があるので少し費用はかかりましたが良かったです。
お昼の食事はたいしたこと無いです。期待しないで下さい。
千尋の滝、大川の滝、ヤクスギランドと野生の鹿と猿が特に良かったです。

This bus tour was perfect for my first solo trip to Yakushima without a rental car, as it took me around all the famous spots. The local guide's stories were enjoyable, and I think the content was fulfilling for first-time travelers. Since I had hiked to Jomon Sugi the day before, I was able to relax and enjoy sightseeing on the bus. I also got to see Yakuzaru and Yakushika, which were very cute. I would appreciate it if there were more recommendations for hidden gourmet spots and souvenirs.
初めての屋久島でレンタカー無しの一人旅だったのでぐるっと名所に案内してもらえるこちらのバスツアーは最適でした。
地元のガイドさんのお話も楽しく初めての旅行者には充実した内容だと思います。
また前日に縄文杉登山をしていたのでバスでゆっくり座って観光できました。やくざる、やくしかも見られてとても可愛かったです。
希望としてはもう少し穴場なグルメやお土産などの案内があれば嬉しいです。

The bus guide's commentary is wonderful. The timing for sightseeing is just right, not too rushed or too slow, and since the guide accompanies us at the sightseeing spots to explain, it never gets boring.
As I participated alone, there was a bit of loneliness during the tour, but overall, I was able to enjoy it without getting bored.
バスガイドさんによるガイドが素晴らしいです。観光などの時間は過不足なくといった感じで、忙しいこともなく、観光箇所にもガイドさんがついて説明してくれるので飽きません。
1人参加のため、ツアー中多少寂しさはありましたが、終始飽きずに参加できました。

I decided to join because the reviews were very good. Throughout the ride, the guide shared a lot of information about Yakushima that I wouldn't have learned just by driving around in a rental car. The next day happened to be the day of the rocket launch, and the guide kindly told us the best spot to view it. As a side note, when I went to that spot to watch the rocket launch the next day, I ran into the guide again. Haha. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Yakushima.
口コミがとてもよかったので参加することにしました。乗車中ずっとガイドさんが屋久島のことをいろいろとお話ししてくださり、自分でレンタカーで巡るだけでは知り得なかった情報をたくさん得ることができました。翌日がたまたまロケットの発射日に決まったのですが、一番見やすい場所を親切に教えていただきました。余談ですが、翌日その場所にロケット発射を見に行ったところ、ガイドさんに再会しました。笑。屋久島に行かれる方はこのツアーにぜひ参加して欲しいです。

We participated with our family of four in mid-March. Although the weather was unfortunate, the guide's explanations were very good, and the conversations in the vehicle were enjoyable and created a friendly atmosphere. Also, at Yakusugi Land, the walk in the heavy rain was tough, but the guide provided thorough explanations even in those conditions. The price, including lunch, is reasonable, and we had a great time!
3月中旬に家族4人で参加しました。
あいにくの天気でしたがガイドさんのご説明がとてもよく、
