I participated in a day trip to Jomon Sugi and a day trip to Shiratani Unsuikyo (Taiko Rock).
The guide was very kind and friendly, making it easy for me to join even though it was my first time trekking. Not only did they teach me a lot about Yakushima, but they also provided thoughtful snacks along the way, which I truly appreciated!
In early January, there were no other people around (I only encountered a total of 9 people), and I was able to spend time surrounded by nature, creating unforgettable memories. I highly recommend visiting Yakushima during the off-season!
縄文杉1日→白谷雲水峡1日(太鼓岩)に参加しました。
ガイドさんがとても優しく親切な方で
トレッキングがはじめてでも安心して参加できました。
屋久島のことをたくさん教えてくださるのはもちろんのこと
道中の軽食の気遣いなどもたくさんいただき、本当にありがたかったです!!
1月上旬で人が誰もいなくて(すれ違った人はなんと全部で9人)
自然だけに囲まれて過ごすことができ、忘れられない思い出になりました。
オフシーズンの屋久島、とってもお勧めです!!

On New Year's Day, we visited Jomon Sugi, and the following day, we went to Taiko Rock. Both days were blessed with sunny weather, and the guide's explanations were thorough and very easy to understand. I believe they were also very considerate of the participants' health and well-being.
Jomon Sugi:
Thanks to the guide's quick thinking, we were able to see the first sunrise from the bridge. Even though it was sunny, being January, the miso soup provided by the guide during lunch was a comforting warmth.
Taiko Rock:
The day before, there were three groups with seven people, but on this day, it was just our family, making it essentially a private tour. We were able to bond over topics other than trekking, and having the same guide for two consecutive days made the long journey feel quick.
If I have the opportunity to visit Yakushima again, I would definitely like to request the same guide. For example, I think it would be great if there was a guide selection system for repeat participants. Yakushima Tourist Station, please consider this!
元旦初日が縄文杉 翌日太鼓岩 でした。
両日ともに晴れの天気に恵まれ、ガイドさんの説明は丁寧でとても解り易く、ツアー参加者への体調等の配慮も充分だったと思います。
縄文杉:
ガイドさんの機転で橋から初日の出を見れました。晴れてはいても流石に1月なので、お昼のお弁当の時にガイドさんが提供してくださったお味噌汁はほっとする温かさでした。
太鼓岩:
前日は3グループ7名でしたが、この日は我が家だけで、実質プライベートツアーになりました。トレッキング以外の話題で盛り上がったりと、2日連続でガイドをしていただけると打ち解けて長い道のりもあっという間でした。
また屋久島にくる機会があったなら、是非同じガイドさんにお願いしたいです。例えば、2回目以降の参加者にはガイドさん指名システムがあったらいいなと思いますが、、。屋久島道の駅観光さん検討して下さい!

It was my first trekking experience as I turned 60. I got used to my trekking shoes and climbed Mount Daimonji, but I felt anxious. The guide appropriately guided me and the entire group while considering everyone's situation, allowing us to conquer both courses. Thank you very much! It was tough, but I am very satisfied. Next time, I want to lose a little more weight and improve my flexibility. I heard that a 92-year-old person completed it... I want to prepare well so I can enjoy it with my grandchild.
還暦を迎えて、ほぼ初めてのトレッキングでした。トレッキングシューズを慣らしたり、大文字山に登ってみたり…はしましたが不安でした。
ガイドさんが、私を含めメンバー全体の状況を見ながら適切に案内して下さったので両コースを制覇(?)出来ました。ありがとうございました❗
しんどかったですが、とても満足しています。次回は、もう少し体重を落として…柔軟性を高めておきたいと思います。
92歳の方が制覇されたとか…。孫と参加出来る様に、十分な準備をして楽しみたいと思います。

My first long trek was a challenge, but I was able to enjoy it while being healed by the beauty of the forest. Since it was my long-awaited trip to Yakushima, it was a very good experience.
However, it's unfortunate that the experience can vary greatly depending on the guide, so I have to give it a ☆-1. The guide on the first day seemed very friendly when I spoke to him on the phone, but once we started walking, he didn't pay much attention to those behind him. We only took a proper break to sit down twice on the way to Jomon Sugi (once quite early on and once for a restroom break). Other guides seemed to stop and explain various things, but we were just passed by.
He mentioned that we would take photos on the way back, so I thought the explanations would happen then, but in the end, we didn't take time for either. Despite some people lagging behind and looking tired, there was hardly any advice given, and instead of caring for us, it felt like we were being rushed. As a beginner in trekking, I was unsure of what to do since I had requested a guide.
The guide on the second day was completely different; he provided a lot of explanations about the plants and advice on how to walk, which gave me a great sense of security. He also took many photos for us.
Of course, it's natural for each guide to have their own characteristics, and there must be a pace to maintain for completing the trek, so I understand that to some extent. However, I would have appreciated at least some explanations while moving without stopping. Since we can't choose our guides, I won't mention any names, but after reading other people's experiences, it seems like many had similar experiences with the same guide, so I guess it's just a matter of luck when signing up.
長時間のトレッキングは初挑戦でしたが、森の美しさに癒されながら楽しんで戻ってくることができました。
念願の屋久島だったのでとても良い経験でした。
ただ、ガイドさんによって随分感じが変わってしまうのが残念なので☆-1です。
1日目の方はお電話で話した際はとても気さくな印象でしたが、
いざ歩き出すとあまり後ろを気にしてくれず、縄文杉までの片道でしっかり座って休んだのは2回(1回はかなり序盤、1回はトイレ休憩)のみ。ほかのガイドさんは立ち止まっていろいろ説明してくれているようでしたが、スルーでした。
写真も帰りに撮りますとおっしゃっていたので、説明も帰りながらなのかなと思いましたが、結局どちらも時間を取ることなく。
疲れて遅れ気味の人がいるにも関わらずアドバイスもほとんどなく、ケアをしてくれるどころか急かすような感じで、登山素人だからガイドさんをお願いしているのにちょっとどうしていいかわからなかったです。
2日目のガイドさんは全く違って、植物の説明や歩き方のアドバイスなど沢山いただきましたし、遅れ気味の人をガイドさんのすぐ後ろにするなど非常に安心感がありました。写真も沢山撮ってくださいました。
もちろんガイドさんにそれぞれ特徴があるのは当然でしょうし、踏破するためのペース配分というものがあるのでしょうから仕方ないとは思いますが、せめて止まらずに進む説明などは欲しかったです。ガイドさんを選べないのでお名前は伏せますが、他の方の体験談も拝読すると同じ方なんだろうなーというのがいくつもありましたので、その辺りは運だと思って申し込むしかないんでしょう。

I participated with three friends from university. The weather was great both days, making it perfect for trekking.
On the first day’s trek to Jomon Sugi, after passing the long trolley path, I unfortunately cramped my left leg during the steep ascent, and I wondered if I would make it to Jomon Sugi. However, the guide provided me with a herbal remedy that is good for cramps, and somehow I managed to reach Jomon Sugi and return within the time limit! I am truly grateful. Also, the instant miso soup during lunch was warm and soothing for my tired body from the hike.
I really felt it was a good decision to join a guided tour. On the second day at Taiko Rock, I wondered if I could go due to the fatigue from the previous day, but after a good night’s sleep, I felt much better. It was certainly challenging, but I managed to complete the itinerary. I’m really glad I participated!
大学時代の友人達と3人で参加しました。
2日間とも非常にいい天気で、トレッキングには絶好の日和でした。
1日目の縄文杉トレッキングでは、長かったトロッコ道を過ぎ、キツイ登りに
なったところで、不覚にも左足がつってしまい、縄文杉までたどり着けるか?と思った局面があったのですが、ガイドさんが足がつったときに飲むといい漢方薬をくださり、なんとか縄文杉までたどり着くことができ、時間内に戻ってくることができました!感謝しかありません。また、昼食時のインスタントですが、お味噌汁があったかくて登山で疲れた身体には癒しになりました。
ガイドありのツアーに申し込んで本当に良かったと思いました。
2日目の太鼓岩は前日の疲労から行けるか?と思ったのですが、一晩じっくり寝たら大分疲労も回復し、もちろんしんどくはありましたが、なんとか行程をこなせました。参加して本当に良かったです!

I had heard that the weather in the mountains is different from that at the base, but it was clear all day! This year, since there were no typhoons, the autumn leaves were stunning, and the view from Taiko Rock was absolutely fantastic. It was worth the effort to climb up. I was very satisfied with all the photos the guide took for us.
山の天候はふもととは違うと聞いていましたが、この日は1日快晴!今年は台風が来なかったため紅葉もバッチリということで太鼓岩からの眺めがとっても良かったです。苦労して登ってきたかいがありました。ガイドさんに沢山写真もとってもらって大満足でした。

I joined this tour because I wanted to see the world of Princess Mononoke. Personally, I preferred the path to Shiratani Unsuikyo over the journey to Jomon Sugi. The guide was kind and very helpful, which I appreciated. However, I wish I could have heard a bit more about Yakushima. Thanks to the rain the day before, the moss was beautifully wet. Since there were other participants, I actually wanted to stay longer and take in the forest, but it was a shame that I couldn't stay that long. We went to Taiko Rock, and luckily the view that day was very good. Overall, I was satisfied with this tour. If you want to take more photos and have a more leisurely trip, I think a private guide would be better.
もののけ姫の世界が見たくて、このツアーに参加しました。個人的には縄文杉までの道のりよりも、白谷雲水峡までの方が好きでした。ガイドの方も優しくたくさんお世話してくださり助かりました。ただ、もう少し屋久島の話が聞けるとよかったかなと思います。前日の雨のおかげで、苔が雨に濡れてとても綺麗でした。他の参加者の方もいたため、本当はもっとじっくりその場に留まって森を見ていたかったのですが、そこまで滞在ができなかったのが残念です。太鼓岩まで行きましたがその日は運良く眺めもとてもよく、全体を通してこのツアーには満足です。もっと写真をとったり、じっくりゆっくりする旅がよければ、プライベートガイドが良いかなと思いました。

I participated with my husband. Neither of us usually goes trekking, so we had some concerns, but we managed to get through the two days. We chose a tour for peace of mind. We thought we wouldn't be able to decide whether to continue or turn back in bad weather. As a result, the first day was sunny, and the second day had light rain, but I was glad we had a guide for the Taiko Rock course on the second day, as the route was quite complicated. We were able to take beautiful photos at the photo spots, and we heard various stories along the way. It was a tour that exceeded our expectations for peace of mind.
旦那さんと参加しました。2人とも普段はトレッキングしないので、少し不安な部分もありましたが、2日間なんとか乗り切ることが出来ました。ツアーにしたのは、安心料でした。天候が悪いとき、奥に進むのか?引き返すのか?自分たちでは判断出来ないと考えました。結果、1日目は晴天、2日目は小雨でしたが、2日目の太鼓岩コースは結構道順が複雑でガイドさんを付けて良かったと思いました。写真スポットでは綺麗な写真を取っていただけ、道中に色々とお話を聞かせていただけ、安心料以上の満足するツアーでした。

The rain started unexpectedly. The weather forecast doesn't hold true in Yakushima. The moss and trees, wet from the rain, looked vibrant and beautiful. There was some mist, which created a fantastic atmosphere. I couldn't see Taiko Rock because it was dangerous due to the slippery conditions from the rain. The guides I passed all said, "It's tough!" and I really started to worry if I could make it to the end, but I pushed through. My knees, back, and hips are all sore, and I don't even know how to care for them. It might not be suitable for those who want to take photos slowly.
予報外れの雨スタート。屋久島では天気予報は当たりません。雨に濡れた苔や木々は生き生きしててキレイでした。霧やら出てきてましたけど、幻想的な雰囲気で素敵でした。太鼓岩は雨で滑ると危険だからと見られずΣ(ノд<)すれ違うガイドさんみんなから「大変だ~」って言われるくらい過酷なコースで、本当に最後まで歩ききれるのか不安になりましたが、やりきりました~。膝やら腰やら股関節やら痛いところだらけで、どうケアしたらいいかわからないくらい。写真ゆっくりとりたい方には不向きかもしれません。

I participated with two friends. The weather forecast was wrong, and it poured rain from the morning without stopping, so we couldn't go to Taiko Rock due to safety concerns, and I have almost no photos from Shiratani Unsuikyo. However, I don't think I'll ever walk on such a dark, rainy mountain path again, so it was a good experience.
I'm a notorious rain person, but our guide, Mr. Shimozono from the roadside station, made it fun by joking around, and we walked for nearly 12 hours happily. Mr. Shimozono is a native of Yakushima and has witnessed the changes on the island, so it was enjoyable to ask him questions and hear his stories.
For lunch, he even boiled water and served us miso soup! Even after the rain stopped, it was still foggy and cold, so it really warmed us up. Mr. Shimozono walked without wearing rain gear and just held an umbrella, yet he didn't get wet at all, and hardly got caught on branches... it was amazing!
I highly recommend walking for 12 hours with Mr. Shimozono!
友人と3人で参加しました。
天気予報が外れて朝から土砂降りで、しかも全然止まなくて、危険だということで太鼓岩には行くことが出来ず、白谷雲水峡はほぼ写真がないです。
でもこんな真っ暗闇で土砂降りな山道を歩くこともきっとないと思うので、いい経験でした。
わたしはすごい雨女なのですが、ガイドの道の駅観光の下園さんも色々いじってくれたので、12時間近く楽しく歩けました。
下園さんは生粋の屋久島の方だそうで、屋久島の移り変わりを見てきた方なので、色々質問すると話してくださって楽しかったです。
お昼はお湯をわかしてお味噌汁も出してくださいました!
雨は止んでも霧がすごくて寒かったので、とても身体に染みました。
下園さんは、レインウェアを着用せず、ずっと傘をさして歩いてましたが、全然濡れてないし、枝にもほとんど引っかかってませんでした・・・スゴすぎる!!
ぜひ下園さんとともに、12時間歩いて見てください!!

I was blessed with great weather and a wonderful team, allowing me to enjoy a challenging 10-hour trek. The veteran guide skillfully managed the pace and timing, so there were no delays from queues at photo spots or waiting for restrooms, which allowed us to take our time at Wilson's stump and Jomon Sugi. On the return trip along the trolley path, I also encountered Yakushima monkeys and Yakushima deer, creating wonderful memories. The recommended sightseeing spots introduced by the guide for the following day were also excellent, and I thoroughly enjoyed the great nature of Yakushima for the second time in two years.
天候にもチームにも恵まれ、10時間のハードなトレッキングを楽しめました。ベテランガイドさんがペース配分や時間をうまく誘導して下さり、写真スポットでの行列やトイレ待ちなどのロスもなく、おかげでウィルソン株や縄文杉ではゆっくりすることができました。帰りのトロッコ道で屋久猿・屋久鹿にも出会え、すばらしい思い出になりました。ガイドさんに紹介していただいた翌日のおすすめ観光スポットもとても良く、二年ぶり二回目の屋久島の大自然を堪能しました

I wanted to visit not only the Shiratani Unsuikyo, which is said to be the setting for Princess Mononoke, and the moss-covered forest, but also Taiko Rock! I searched for various tours and ended up booking this one, which takes you to Taiko Rock at a reasonable price. The guide was a seasoned veteran with extensive knowledge, sharing enjoyable and thought-provoking stories about life. They also shared various snacks and garlic, which gave us a boost of energy—thank you! This tour offers an early morning option, and we chose that. There were few climbers, allowing us to take our time and enjoy taking photos on our way to Taiko Rock. The moss-covered forest was mystical, and the morning light created a fantastical atmosphere that was captivating. And then, Taiko Rock! There were steep slopes along the way, and combined with the muscle soreness from the previous day, it was tough, but reaching the top was breathtaking! According to the guide, the views are better in the early morning. Indeed, the early bird catches the worm!
もののけ姫の舞台となったと言われている白谷雲水峽、苔むす森だけでなくどうせなら太鼓岩も行きたい!といろいろなツアーを探しましたが太鼓岩まで行けてお値打ちなこのツアーを申し込みました。 ガイドさんもガイド歴が長い大ベテランさんで知識も豊富(楽しくそして人生も考える深い話でよかったです)、そしてお菓子やニンニクなどいろいろ食べ物(パワーでましたありがとうございます)も分けてくださいました。 こちらのツアー、早朝コースもあり私たちは早朝コースを選択しましたが、登山客が少なくゆっくりと写真をとりながら太鼓岩を目指すことができました。 苔むす森、神秘的で朝の光が幻想的な雰囲気をかもし出し魅力的でした。 そして、太鼓岩!道中急な坂があり前日の筋肉痛と重なり大変でしたが登りきり絶景でした! ガイドさん曰く、早朝の方が眺めがいい確率が高いとのこと。まさに早起きは三文の徳ですね!
Dear Harebare,
Thank you very much for your post about your experience. The Jomon Sugi course is also known as the "Training Course" or "Torture Sugi Course," while the Shiratani Unsuikyo is referred to as the "Healing Course." Some customers turn back at the moss-covered forest, but in recent years, the course leading to Taiko Rock and the early morning course have been gaining popularity. There are not many other climbers, and the air is clear, allowing for breathtaking views from Taiko Rock (weather permitting).
This time you participated in the autumn, but in spring, the mountain cherry blossoms make the mountainsides appear pink, and in winter, the mountain ridges are covered in white snow, resembling the Alps.
We sincerely look forward to your next visit to Yakushima.

縄文杉コースは別名「修行コースや拷問杉コース」と言われておりますが、白谷雲水峡は「癒しコース」と呼ばれております。
苔むす森で折り返すお客様もいますが、ここ数年はその先の太鼓岩までのコースさらに早朝コースが少しずつ人気が出ており
まさしく他の登山者もあまりおらず空気が澄んでいるので太鼓岩からも絶景が見れます(天気次第ですが)
今回は秋の参加ですが、春になると山桜で山肌がピンクに見れますし、冬は山の稜線が雪で真っ白になり、まるでアルプスの山を見るようです。

On my first visit to Yakushima, there were so many places I wanted to see. I wondered if I could walk for 11 hours, but the sense of accomplishment when I completed the ambitious course was indescribable. Of course, Jomon Sugi was amazing, but even the scenery along the way was wonderful. I walked at quite a pace, and although my stay was short, I think it's great for those who want to see a lot in a limited time. However, it can be quite tiring. I don't think it's suitable for those who want to take their time, but since I wanted to be efficient, I thought it was a good tour.
初めての屋久島で沢山見たいところがありました。11時間も歩けるかな?と思いながらも欲張りコースを歩ききった時の達成感はなんとも言えません。縄文杉なども勿論素晴らしかったですが、ただ歩いているその辺の景色も素晴らしい。結構なペースで歩きましたが、滞在時間が少な行けど、あれもこれも行きたい人には良いかなと思います。ただそこそこしんどいと思います。ゆっくりまわりたい人には向かないと思いますが、私は効率よく回りたかったので良いツアーだったと思います。
Dear Traveler A,
Thank you very much for your post about your experience.
Based on our own survey results, most customers visiting Yakushima typically have a travel itinerary of two nights and three days, with the first and last days being travel days. This means that the only day available for trekking is the middle day. We created this tour for customers who want to visit both Jomon Sugi and Shiratani Unsuikyo.
Honestly, it can be tough to do both, but the sense of achievement when you complete the trek must have been incredible. Additionally, Yakushima has many other wonderful mountains, so we sincerely look forward to your second visit to the island.

I participated with a friend. It was a clear day in late August, and the temperature was high. Besides us, there was only one young student couple around 20 years old, making it a small group.
We gathered before dawn and entered the mountains from Shiratani Unsuikyo, then after seeing Taiko Rock, we headed to the Jomon Sugi course, which required over 12 hours of hiking.
As a 30-year-old office worker who doesn't exercise much, it was quite tough, but I managed to keep up with the group and completed the hike. The limited time for the return bus made the descent particularly challenging as we had to move quickly. The next day, as expected, I was hit with severe muscle pain, which made the innkeeper laugh out loud.
Our guide was a man over 70, and it was impressive how smoothly he climbed. He was a bit quiet and didn't provide many explanations, but his experience was evident, and I felt secure following him.
There were moments when the rain intensified (which I believe is normal for Yakushima hiking), but overall the weather was good, and I had a great time. If I have the opportunity, I would like to try an overnight course next time.
友人と2人で参加しました。8月下旬のよく晴れた日で、気温も高かったです。我々の他には、20歳前後の若い学生カップルが1組いるのみで、少人数のグループでした。
朝は真っ暗なうちから集合し、白谷雲水峡から入山して、太鼓岩を見たら縄文杉コースへ、という流れで、12時間以上の登山が必要です。
30歳の特に運動もしていないオフィスワーカーにはなかなかきつかったですが、グループの足を引っ張ることもなく、何とか歩ききることができました。
帰りのバスの時間が限られているので、特に下山する時のペースが速かったのがきつかったです。翌日は予想通り激しい筋肉痛になって民宿のおっちゃんに爆笑されました。
ガイドさんは70歳超えの男性でしたが、スイスイと登っていくのがすごかったです。無口な方なのか、あまり多くの解説はありませんでしたが、ベテラン感がすごく、安心して着いていくことができました。
途中雨が強くなるなどしましたが(屋久島登山では普通のことと思いますが)、全体的に天気もよく、とても楽しめました。機会があれば今度は泊まりコースに挑戦してみたいです。
Dear EBISEN58,
Thank you very much for your post about your experience. This course can be quite tough if you're not used to physical activity, but it's great to hear that you managed to reach the finish line.

I participated in this tour on the day of heavy rain, May 18. Fortunately, we were able to reach Jomon Sugi, but on the way back, there were places where the road had collapsed due to rising water. While other hikers were turning back, our guide proceeded without hesitation through the waterfall-like path, leading us forward. By the time we returned to the hiking trail, the water had risen to knee level in some areas. Just when we thought we could relax after getting back to the trail and boarding the bus, we found ourselves blocked by a fallen tree, preventing the bus from moving forward. In that situation, our guide took the initiative to go outside and cut the fallen tree with a saw. When we had to spend the night on the bus, the guide went out in the heavy rain to find a way back and called for help. Throughout the return from Jomon Sugi, the guide supported not only us but everyone else, continuously moving without rest. Their decisiveness and ability to take action were remarkable. Thanks to them, I was able to follow along with peace of mind. If it weren't for our guide... I am truly filled with gratitude. Thank you very much. Next time, I want to take on the Shiratani Unsuikyo challenge again.
このツアーに参加させていただいたのは、5月18日の豪雨の日でした。
ラッキーなことに縄文杉までは行くことができましたが、帰りは増水により道が決壊している場所もありました。他の登山者が引き返してくる中ガイドさんは何の躊躇もなく滝のようになった道を突き進み先導してくれました。登山道まで戻ってくる頃には膝上まで水が上がってきているところもありました。登山道まで戻ってきてバスに乗り込んでホッとしたのもつかの間。倒れた大木で道を塞がれてしまいバスが前に進めない状況。そんな中ガイドさんは率先して外に出てくれ、倒れた大木をノコギリで切ってくれました。またバスの中で一夜を過ごすことになった時も、ガイドさんが豪雨の中外に出
てくれて帰れる道を探してくれたり、助けを呼びに行ってくれました。縄文杉の帰りから私たちだけではなく、他の皆のこともサポートしてくれ、休むことなくずっと動いてくれていました。決断力と行動力が素晴らしい方でした。おかげで安心してついていくことができました。ガイドさんがいなかったら…。本当に感謝の気持ちでいっぱいです。ありがとうございました。
次回は白谷雲水峡をリベンジしたいです。
Dear Yuu,
Thank you very much for your post about your experience, and I apologize for the delayed response.
On May 18, there was a once-in-50-years heavy rain that caused a landslide, resulting in an overnight stay on the bus, which must have been quite difficult. The news about that incident spread nationwide, and since then, the number of climbers on Yakushima has drastically decreased, but it is gradually recovering.
While it may have been a traumatic experience for both of you, the incident has led to stricter criteria for conducting tours, and we now offer tours that ensure customer safety.
We hope you will join us for the Shiratani Unsuikyo tour that you missed next time.

返信遅くなりましたが、体験談への投稿、誠にありがとうございます。
5月18日は50年に一度の大雨で土砂崩れの為に、バスの中で1泊することになり大変でしたね。
あの時のニュースが全国的に流れ、それ以降の屋久島の登山者は激減しましたが、少しずつ回復しつつあります。
お二人にとってはトラウマになるような出来事だったかもしれませんが、今回の事でツアーの催行するかどうかの基準が厳しくなり
現在ではお客様に安心出来るツアーになっております。
次回は行けなかった白谷雲水峡のツアーに参加下さいませ。

The weather was not on our side, and due to rain from the morning, we couldn't go to Shiratani Unsuikyo as planned... However, despite the bad weather, thanks to our tour guide's arrangements, we were able to see Jomon Sugi! On the way back, I was worried that the heavy rain might cause the river to flood, but it turned out to be quite an experience trekking in such downpours, and there were some interesting moments.
The warm miso soup made by our guide warmed up my chilled body from the rain!
Next time, I want to take on Shiratani Unsuikyo again!
天気に恵まれず、朝から雨のため、予定していた白谷雲水峡は行けず・・・
しかし、なんとか悪天候の中、ツアーガイドさんの計らいもあって縄文杉は見に行きました!
帰りはどしゃぶりで川も氾濫するんじゃないかと心配でしたが、なかなか体験できない、土砂降りの中のトレッキングで、面白いところもありました
ガイドさんが作ってくれたあったかいお味噌汁が、雨で冷えた体を温めてくれました!
今度は白谷雲水峡をまたリベンジして行きたいです!

I went to Yakushima for a 2-night, 3-day trip. Since I only had a full day for trekking, I chose a greedy course that allowed me to visit both Taiko Rock and Jomon Sugi. (laughs)
I participated with a friend, and the guide took photos for us at the photo spots, so we didn't need a selfie stick! Even as a beginner, I managed to reach the top. However, there was a huge difference in fatigue afterward between my friend, who exercises regularly, and me, who doesn't exercise at all. So, those who don't usually work out should be prepared before participating. My legs felt like sticks for about three days after the climb. (laughs)
Both Taiko Rock and Jomon Sugi offered breathtaking views. Since it rained on and off, a raincoat is essential. If you don't have trekking shoes, it's better to borrow some. The shoes I borrowed didn't let any water in, even when walking through some muddy areas!
2泊3日で屋久島へ行きました。トレッキング時間も丸1日しか取れなかったので、太鼓岩と縄文杉どちらも行ける欲張りコースを選びました。笑
友達と二人で参加したのですが、ガイドさんが写真スポットに到着すると写真を撮ってくださるのでセルカ棒いらずでした!
初心者の私でもなんとか登り切ることができました。ただ、普段運動している友達と全く運動していない私とでは終わった後の疲労感にとてつもなく差があったので、やはり普段から運動していない方は覚悟を持って参加した方がいいです。私は登った当日から3日くらいは足が棒のようになりました。笑
太鼓岩も縄文杉も絶景でした。
雨が降ったり止んだり繰り返すのでカッパは必須です。トレッキングシューズがない方は借りたほうがいいです。私が借りたシューズは多少のぬかるみを歩いても全く浸水しませんでした!

My stay this time was only for one day. I didn't have enough time to reach Jomon Sugi, so I enjoyed hiking to Shiratani Unsuikyo (Taiko Rock). The weather was clear with not a single cloud in the sky at the summit. It was unusually good weather for Yakushima, but it was fantastic.
今回の滞在は1日だけでした。縄文杉までは時間的に余裕がなかったので、白谷水雲峡(太鼓岩)までの登山を楽しみました。山頂に雲ひとつかからない快晴でした。屋久島らしからぬ好天でしたが、最高でした。

The guide provided us with various information, making it a very enjoyable tour. Also, I will never forget the taste of the coffee and miso soup that were prepared for us when we reached our destination. Thank you very much.
ガイドさんが、自分達のために色々と案内してくれて、大変楽しいツアーでした。
また、目的地へ到達した時に用意してくれたコーヒーと味噌汁の味は一生忘れません。
ありがとうございました。

It was exhausting, but it was really great! The view from Taiko Rock was absolutely stunning and the weather was perfect. The photos of the mossy forest are not from the brochure! Haha, the nature was incredible. Also, I was moved to see Deidara-bocchi on the Torokko path! However, I wondered if it depends on the guide. The guide mentioned that some people go slowly while others go fast.
しんどかったですが、とっても良かったです^ ^
太鼓岩はめっちゃくっちゃ晴れてて最高でした。苔むす森の写真はパンフレットからの引用ではないですよ!笑 自然がやばかったです。
あと、トロッコ道にデイダラボッチいて感動しました(๑°ㅁ°๑)‼✧
ただ、ガイドさんによるのかなぁと、思いました。ゆっくり行ってくれる人もいれば、速い人もいると、ガイドさん自身が言っていました。

We set off early in the morning for a challenging itinerary, and I approached it with determination. Thanks to the favorable weather and the lively stories from our guide, Mr. Taniyama, we were able to visit all the points of interest. As mentioned earlier, this course is by no means easy. However, you can undoubtedly experience the grandeur of nature and the emotions that cannot be conveyed through photos!
As for equipment, there were no issues as long as I brought what was indicated in the guide. I rented shoes, and they were comfortable enough for the long journey without causing blisters, so I think renting is sufficient for those who don't have their own. You can arrange for breakfast and lunch bento boxes through the accommodation. There were also places to refill water along the way, so as long as you prepare your health well, you should be fine on the day!
早朝出発で行程もなかなかの本コース、覚悟をもって臨みましたがお天気に恵まれたこと、ガイドの谷山さんの軽快なお話のおかげで全てのポイントを回ることができました。前述した通り、このコースは決して楽なものではありません。しかしながら、間違いなく写真では伝わらない自然の雄大さと感動を味わうことができます!
装備等は案内にある通りに持って行けば問題ありませんでした。私は靴をレンタルしましたが、長時間の行程でも履きやすく靴擦れもしなかったため、持っていない方はレンタルでも十分かと思います。朝昼のお弁当は、宿に頼んで取ってもらうことが可能です。水分は途中でなくなってしまっても水を汲める場所がありました。体調を万全に整えて、当日臨むことができれば大丈夫でしょう!

The walking pace was faster than I expected, and I didn't have time to put on my raincoat, so it was quite hard, and I thought I might get a muscle strain. I brought a lot of portable toilets, but there was limited time to use them. However, the scenery was really beautiful. I'm glad I got to see it at least once in my lifetime.
思っていたより歩くペースが速かったり、レインコートを着る時間もなかったりと、かなりハードで肉離れになるかと思いました。簡易トイレを大量に持っていきましたが、トイレに入る時間も限られていました。ただ、景色などはすごく良かったです。一生に一度は見たかったのでよかったです。

I went to Taiko Rock.
Since it was my first time trekking, it was quite challenging.
For those who are aware of their lack of exercise, it seems that bringing trekking poles makes it easier.
Many people at Shiratani Unsuikyo go without a guide, but I often found myself wondering where to walk, so I think beginners should definitely hire a guide for peace of mind. You can also learn a lot from their stories.
Since it was early in the morning, there were few people passing by, and I could walk leisurely. On the way down, I started to encounter many people, so I got the impression that a lot of people start around 9 AM. I'm glad I left early, as I was able to enjoy Taiko Rock all to myself.
The guide was dressed lightly in a T-shirt and shorts, but I bumped my legs against rocks quite a bit, so I think wearing long pants or tights would have been better. Yakushima is full of rocks, so it can be quite painful. Since I was in the mountains, I probably didn't need a hat. Just wearing a hat made me feel quite hot, and I ended up taking it off at the end.
太鼓岩まで行きました。
トレッキングは初めてなので、けっこう大変でした。
運動不足を自覚している人は、ストックを持って行くと楽だそうです。
白谷雲水狭はガイドをつけてない人も多くいますが
どこを歩いたらいいの?と思うことが度々あったので
初心者はガイドを付けた方が安心です。お話も色々聞けて勉強になります。
早朝だったので、すれ違う人も少なくゆったりと歩けました。
下山の時には、たくさんの人とすれ違うようになったので
9時頃に出発の人が多いのかなーという印象です。
朝早く出たので、太鼓岩が独り占めできてよかったです。
ガイドさんはTシャツ半ズボンという軽装でしたが、私は足をあっちこっちに
ぶつけたので、長ズボンかタイツでよかったとおもいます。
屋久島は岩だらけなので、結構いたいです。
山の中だったので、帽子はいらなかったかな。帽子被るだけでけっこう暑く感じて、最後は脱いでいました。

It was more enjoyable than I expected, and I had a fulfilling day blessed with good weather. I knew that fit individuals were participating in this course, so I was a bit nervous at the start. The initial pace was fast, and I worried about keeping up, but our guide managed the walking time and breaks well, allowing us to walk comfortably in the end.
We visited Shiratani Unsuikyo → Taiko Rock → Jomon Sugi in that order. Since we came to Yakushima with the goal of seeing Jomon Sugi, it was the perfect order for our group to see it last. Along the way, we received a lot of energy from the guide's stories, photo opportunities, and the power of nature, making it an exciting and thrilling 11-hour trek. The sense of accomplishment was incredible. I highly recommend this for anyone wanting to experience nature in a day. Thank you, guide Shinmura.
期待以上に楽しく、天気に恵まれ充実した一日でした。
このコースは健脚の方が参加しているとしり、初めはドキドキのスタートでした。
初めのペースが速く着いていけるかと途中心配もしましたが、ガイドさんが歩く時間、休憩と上手にとってもらい、結局は余裕をもって歩くことが出来ました。
今回は白谷雲水峡→太鼓岩→縄文杉の順で回りました。
縄文杉を目的に屋久島に来たので、最後に縄文杉は私たちグループにとっては最高の順番でした。
途中のガイドさんの話や、写真撮影、大自然のパワーをたくさんもらい、終始ウキウキ、ワクワクの11時間のトレッキングでした。達成感も半端ないです。1日で大自然を感じたい方、お勧めです。ガイドの新村さんありがとうございました。
