縄文杉半日+白谷雲水峡半日(太鼓岩まで) 2大トレッキングコースを日帰りで! by 屋久島の輪
I walked a lot!
めっちゃ歩いた!
Activity Date: 2019/07/31 | Posted on: 2019/08/24

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。

縄文杉半日+白谷雲水峡半日(太鼓岩まで) 2大トレッキングコースを日帰りで! by 屋久島の輪
A sense of accomplishment!
達成感!
Activity Date: 2019/08/17 | Posted on: 2019/08/20

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 Yakusugi is nice, but...
屋久杉はいいけど…
Activity Date: 2019/08/11 | Posted on: 2019/08/13

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 recommend it for the early morning.
早朝おすすめです。
Posted on: 2019/08/12

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。

The best day.
最高の一日
Activity Date: 2019/07/29 | Posted on: 2019/08/12

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。

It was a two-day optional tour on Yakushima for the first time, and I had a great time. The guide provided detailed explanations and kindly handled the sudden typhoon, for which I am very grateful. They also took many photos, creating memories that will last a lifetime. If I have the chance to go to Yakushima again, I would like to request their services once more.

始めての屋久島で2日間のオプショナルツアーでしたが、とても楽しかったです☺️
ガイドさんには、詳しく案内をして頂き、急な台風にも親切に対応して頂き、感謝しております。写真も沢山撮って頂き、一生の想い出になりました。また屋久島に行くことがあればお願いしたいです✨

The tour was full of highlights! It was amazing.
ツアーの醍醐味満載!最高でした
Activity Date: 2019/08/04 | Posted on: 2019/08/06

I truly enjoyed the unique experiences that the tour offered over the two days, and I'm really glad I participated. While I think both places could be visited individually, the connections and encounters with others made it a wonderful experience that only a tour can provide.

Day 1: Jomon Sugi
With six tour members and our guide, it was not just about explanations; they also helped us bond as a group. The sense of unity and everyone's smiles at the finish line are unforgettable! I was delighted to have warm miso soup during lunch.

Day 2: Shiratani Unsuikyo
With four tour members and our guide, we had to return early due to the typhoon, but they adapted the schedule flexibly, which was truly impressive! Our guide not only led us but also acted as a photographer, capturing many wonderful photos and videos, which made the four of us girls very happy! We were able to enjoy the tour many times more thanks to our hospitable guide.

I am grateful for the wonderful encounters in Yakushima. I strongly recommend participation to anyone who is considering it. Thank you! ☺︎

2日間ともに、ツアーならではの楽しみを満喫できて、本当に参加してよかったです。どちらも個人でも行けなくはないと思いますが、人との出会い、繋がりができて、ツアーならではの楽しみかたができたので、素晴らしい経験になりました。

1日目の縄文杉:
ツアーメンバー6人とガイドさん。単なる説明だけでなく、メンバー同士も仲良くなれるよう盛り上げてくださいました。最後ゴールしたときの結束感、みんなの笑顔が忘れられません!お弁当の時あたたかいお味噌汁をいただいたのが嬉しかったです。
2日目白谷雲水峡:
ツアーメンバー4人とガイドさん。台風の影響で急遽はやく帰ることになり、時間など臨機応変に変更していただき、本当に神対応でした!ガイドさんとしてだけでなくカメラマンさんとして、素敵な写真、ムービーをたくさん撮ってくださり女子4人大喜びでした!ホスピタリティあふれるガイドさんと回ることができ、通常の何倍も楽しめました!

屋久島での素敵な出会いに感謝です。迷ってるかたは参加を強くオススメします。ありがとうございました!☺︎

Mr. Yokota, the guide, and the scenery, as well as everyone on the island, were all amazing.
ガイドの横田さんも景色も島の人皆様最高でした
Activity Date: 2019/07/22 | Posted on: 2019/07/25

Both the Jomon Sugi course and the Shiratani Unsuikyo course were blessed with great weather, allowing us to enjoy the wonderful scenery. Our guide, Yokota, shared interesting stories, and we learned about historical facts, making the two days fly by. I am truly grateful for the ample time we had for taking photos and for the excellent arrangements made at Taiko Rock. Additionally, everyone from Yakushima was warm and welcoming, and I have fallen in love with Yakushima all over again. I will definitely be back.

縄文杉コースも白谷雲水峡コースも天気に恵まれ、素晴らしい景色を堪能できました。
ガイド横田さんのお話も面白く、歴史的な事など知れたりであっという間の2日間でした。
また、写真を撮る時間を多く頂いたり、太鼓岩では絶妙な采配をして頂いたりと本当に感謝しかありません。
また、屋久島の方皆さん温かく、屋久島が改めて好きになりました。リピート確実です。

Due to the impact of the typhoon, I requested changes to the tour schedule and content, and I apologize for the inconvenience. However, thanks to your efforts, I was able to fully enjoy the beautiful Taiko Rock course on the last day of my trip to the islands. I received a lot of information from our guide, Mr. Shimozono, and I was able to create wonderful memories. Thank you very much!

台風の影響でツアー日程や内容を変更依頼し、お手数をかけてしましましたが、お陰様で離島最終日に晴天の太鼓岩コースを満喫することが出来ました。
ガイドの下園さんからは色々な情報を教えて頂き、良い思い出を作る事が出来ました。
本当にありがとうございます!

Shiratani Unsuikyo First Trekking
白谷雲水峡初トレッキング
Activity Date: 2019/07/13 | Posted on: 2019/07/18

I requested a guide for the Shiratani Unsuikyo. Two housewives in their 50s, who are classmates, participated, and I challenged myself with trekking for the first time. It was very helpful that we took breaks at good times while taking photos along the way. The descent was tough as my knees started to hurt, but it was worth it to reach the mossy forest! The guide's explanations were easy to understand, and they took really great photos with excellent techniques. Thank you very much!

白谷雲水峡へガイドをお願いしました。50代主婦2人同級生で参加、私は初トレッキング挑戦、途中いいタイミングで写真撮影しながら休憩を取ってくださったのでとても助かりました。下りは膝が痛くなりたいへんでしたが苔むす森まで行った甲斐はありました!
ガイドさんの説明もわかりやすく写メの取り方がお上手で本当にいい写真を撮ってくださり良かったです。有難うございました!

I enjoyed it because there was a guide.
ガイドさんがいたので楽しめました。
Activity Date: 2019/07/07 | Posted on: 2019/07/09

The rain cleared up, and I went to Jomon Sugi under the long-awaited sunny weather. Along the way, the explanations from our guide, Yokota, were enjoyable, making the experience twice as fun. The next day, however, it rained again, and we couldn't go all the way, but we did manage to reach the Forest of Mononoke. The explanations from our guide, Shimozono, were also filled with various local information, which made it enjoyable. It was a good decision to stop early due to the rain.

雨も上がって、久しぶりの晴天の中に縄文杉まで行きました。途中、ガイドの横田さんの説明が楽しく、2倍楽しめた気がします。翌日は逆に雨が降ってしまい最後までいけませんでしたが、もののけの森までいけました。ガイドの下園さんの説明もいろいろな地元情報もあり楽しめました。雨で途中でやめる判断も早くて良かったです。

The presence of the guide is truly important.
ガイドさんの存在は本当に重要
Activity Date: 2019/07/01 | Posted on: 2019/07/09

On the first and second days, the guides were different people. To conclude, the guide on the second day was very good. The pacing, the way of using our legs, and the explanations about the plants and moss were all very thorough, making it easy to climb. On the other hand, the guide on the first day was also very kind and a good person, but due to the requests of a younger person in our group, we descended at a considerably fast pace, which was quite challenging for me, being older. They would wait for me, but would start walking again before I could catch up, so I couldn't rest at all and had to keep walking. I wanted to take more photos, but I had no time at all. Still, I think that without the guide, I wouldn't have known the highlights and it would have just been a "go there" experience, so I believe it was good to join the tour after all.

一日目と二日目でガイドさんが違う人でした。結論からいうと二日目のガイドさんがとてもよかったです。ペース配分、足の使い方、植物や苔の説明など非常に丁寧で、つらくなく登れました。一方、一日目のガイドさんも大変親切な方でしたし、良い方でしたが、一緒に登った若い人の要望で相当早いペースで降り、年齢的にかなり上のわたしには、ついていくのが大変でした。待ってはくれるのですが、追いつく前に歩き出すので、遅れる私はまったく休めず歩きどおしでした。もっと写真を撮りたかったのに、全然余裕がありませんでした。それでも、ガイドなしでは見どころもわからずに「行くだけ」になったと思うので、やはりツアーでよかったと思います。

I want to meet the Kodama (tree spirit) of Yakushima!
屋久島のこだま(木霊)に逢いたくて‼️
Activity Date: 2019/07/01 | Posted on: 2019/07/04

Despite the heavy rain forecast due to the typhoon, I came to Yakushima to meet the kodama (tree spirits) of the Mononoke Forest. The moss, wet from the rain, sparkled beautifully and was truly wonderful! The guide brought a kodama doll, and it felt as if the real ones were there. I felt as if my heart was cleansed, and I left with a refreshed spirit. If you get the chance, I definitely recommend visiting!

台風による大雨予報の中、もののけの森のこだま(木霊)に逢いたくて、屋久島にやって来ました。
雨に濡れた「苔」は、キラキラ輝いて、とても素敵でした❣️
ガイドさんがこだま(木霊)の人形を持って来てくれたのですが、本物がいるみたいでした
なんだか、心が洗われたように、スッキリした気持ちになりました。
是非、チャンスがあったら、訪れてみて欲しいですね。

You should definitely try it; you won't regret it!
絶対にトライして後悔ないです!
Activity Date: 2019/07/02 | Posted on: 2019/07/04

My first visit to Yakushima was for trekking and diving. I heard that it was the setting for "Princess Mononoke," which is one of my favorite Studio Ghibli films, so I decided to go.

I chose the moss-covered forest half-day course. The staff at the accommodation mentioned that we would arrive quickly, but as a trekking beginner, I thought it might be better to save Jomon Sugi for another time.

On the day of the trek, I received a call from the person in charge. I was excited and nervous since it was my first time, but the guide was wonderful. We talked about the course and shared casual conversations, creating a homely atmosphere, so I quickly felt comfortable. The guide was in his 70s, but he was a veteran who climbed swiftly! He provided detailed guidance, and I was glad I could keep up with him.

The reserved course was truly amazing, and I felt like I could climb it over and over again. There were huge cedar trees that rivaled Jomon Sugi, and the sound of the river was very soothing. The course was full of highlights until we reached the moss-covered forest, and I thoroughly enjoyed it! Thank you.

On the last day, I had a trekking reservation, and I wanted to make it to the ferry on time, so I asked to go to the souvenir center at a certain time. They kindly accommodated my request, which was a great help. Thank you. However, it might have been because I was the only one that day.

初めての屋久島で、目的はトレッキングとダイビングでした。
ジブリが大好きでもの○け姫でも舞台とされてるとのことで行ってみました。

コースは苔むす森、半日コース
宿のかた曰く直ぐについてしまいます、
なんて言われましたが、トレッキング初心者なので縄文杉はまたの機会でいいかもと思ってました。

当日前に担当の方より連絡があります。
初めてでワクワクドキドキ緊張してましたが、
ガイドの方が大変良くて、コースの話や世間話しをして頂きアットホームな雰囲気だったので直ぐに仲良くなりました。
高齢で70代過ぎの方でしたが、ベテランの方でサクサク登られます!w
さらに細かなガイドをして頂けます。
ガイドさんになんとか付いて行けて良かった…

予約のコースは本当に最高で何度でも登りたいって思えます。縄文杉に負けないくらい大きな杉があり、川のせせらぎが心地良かったです。
苔むす森に辿りつくまで見所満載のコースで満喫出来ました!!
ありがとうございます。

最終日にトレッキングを予約していたので、フェリー時間に間に合うように何時にはお土産センターへ行きたいなどとワガママを聞いて頂き、大変助かりました。ありがとうございます。
ただ、その日は私だけだったからかも知れません。

I apologize for any inconvenience caused to the guide, but they were very attentive and kind! Thank you so much!!! The journey was tough, but with encouragement like "we'll take a break in about ○ minutes" and stories about previous trekkers, I was able to push through until the end!

At times, when the rain was heavy and it got cold, I was warmed up with delicious miso soup! The rainforests of Yakushima are incredibly beautiful, and I was truly moved when the sun peeked out for a moment! I want to go again! I hope to count on your support then!

ガイドさんには、いろいろご迷惑おかけしましたが、とてもとても丁寧に対応していただきました!ありがとうございました!!!
道のりはハードでしたが、あと○分で休憩だよとか、以前にこういう人がいてね~とか、いろんな声をかけていただいて、最後までトレッキングを頑張れました!
時折、雨が激しく降り、寒くなったときは、暖かいお味噌汁をいただいて、暖まれました!
屋久島の雨の森はとても綺麗で、太陽が少し見えたときには、とても感動しました!
また行きたいです!そのときは、よろしくお願いいたします!

I felt安心 with the veteran guide.✨
ベテランガイドさんで安心✨
Activity Date: 2019/06/25 | Posted on: 2019/06/27

The first day's Jomon Sugi day tour surprised me with how fast the guide's pace was, but in the end, I realized that without that pace, we wouldn't have made it back. There were various explanations along the way, and I had many fun discoveries, which made it enjoyable. The photo angles were amazing, and all the pictures taken were wonderful! Additionally, when my legs started to hurt midway, the guide taught me effective stretching techniques and helped me out.

On the second day, there was heavy rain and some restrictions, but based on the amount of rain and the river's water level, the experienced guide took us to the Mononoke Forest. In the morning, I was nervous thinking we might not be able to go, but since our group and another group really wanted to go there, the guide, hearing that, suggested that if we went slowly, the rain might lessen and we could cross the river. Thanks to their intuition and pacing, we were able to reach the long-desired Mononoke Forest (Mossy Forest).

I am filled with gratitude. Thank you very much!✨

初日の縄文杉日帰りツアーは、
ガイドさんのペースが早くて、びっくりしましたが、終わってみれば、あのペースで無ければ、帰ってこれないし、
でも、ところどころでいろんな説明があって、
楽しい発見もいっぱいで楽しかったです✨
また、さすがの写真アングルが素晴らしく、
撮っていただいた写真は素敵なものばかりでした✨
また、足が途中で痛くなった時にも、ストレッチの効果的なやり方を教えてくれたり、助けていただきました!

2日目は、大雨で規制もありましたが、
雨の量、川の水量などから、ベテランさんならではの経験値から、
もののけの森まで連れていっていただきました。
朝の時点では、行けないかも?とドキドキしてましたが、私達や一緒に参加したもう一組の子達も、そこに行きたいのが一番の願いだったから、
それを聞いてたガイドさんが、
ゆっくり行けば、雨が少なくなって、川も渡れるようになるかもと、ペースをゆっくりにしてくれたり、長年の勘から、ペース配分してくださったりしたおかげで、念願のもののけの森(苔むしの森)までたどり着く事ができました。

感謝の気持ちでいっぱいです。
ありがとうございました✨

I made wonderful memories.
素晴らしい思い出が出来ました
Activity Date: 2019/06/23 | Posted on: 2019/06/25

I participated in a one-day tour of Jomon Sugi and Shiratani Unsuikyo + Taiko Rock. I noticed that many people were traveling without a guide, which made me wonder if I could have done the same. However, I felt that it was better to have a guide at first. Those without a guide seemed to be focused solely on reaching their destination and were just walking without much thought. While I initially thought having a guide meant moving slowly, I realized that walking at a leisurely pace allowed for many discoveries and I learned a lot. Since people go to Yakushima seeking an extraordinary experience, I recommend taking deep breaths and enjoying the ancient forest as you walk.

縄文杉1日、白谷雲水峡➕太鼓岩1日のツアーに参加しました。
ガイド無しで旅行されてる方も多くいたので、自分もガイド無しでも良かったのかな?と道中思いましたが、やはり最初はガイド有りにすべきだろう、と感じました。
ガイド無しの方は目的地に行くことだけが目的となって只管歩いていた様に思えます。ガイド有るとゆっくりやなぁ、と思っていましたが、ゆっくり歩くことで色々な気づきがありましたし、沢山の事を教えて頂けました。
非日常を求めて屋久島に行くのでしょうから、何度も深呼吸して太古の森を感じながら歩く事をお勧めします。

Activity Date: 2019/06/22 | Posted on: 2019/06/24

I wasn't very confident in my physical strength, so I was looking for a course with a shorter distance. On the day of the event, it was just the two of us participating. The guide gave off a bit of a scary impression, but in reality, they were very kind, offering us snacks during breaks, providing detailed explanations about how much longer we had to go, and being attentive to our walking pace. We had a lot of fun participating. The scenery was amazing. There were some steep areas and slippery spots, so I think it would be tough in the rain. I participated in June during the rainy season, and while I was prepared for rain, it didn't rain, and it was just cloudy, which was really great.

体力にあまり自信が無かったので、なるべく距離の短いコースを探していました。
当日は、私たち2人だけでの参加でした。
ガイドさんは、ちょっと怖そうな感じの印象を持ったのですが、実際は、休憩の際に持参のお菓子をくれたり、後どれ位とか、説明も詳しくしてくれたり、歩くペースを気にしてくれたり、とても楽しく参加出来ました。
景色は最高でした。
アップダウンの激しい所があったり、滑りやすい場所があったので、雨降りの時は厳しいと思います。
6月の参加で梅雨時、雨は覚悟していたのですが、雨は降らず、曇り空だったので本当に良かったです。

The Jomon Sugi trek is long and challenging, but the guide's support was excellent, and it was really great. The second day's Shiratani Unsuikyo was canceled due to heavy rain and rising water levels, but the refund process was very smooth, and I am satisfied.

縄文杉は工程は長く辛いですが、ガイドさんの対応もとてもよく、スゴくよかったです
2日目の白谷雲水峡は雨で増水のため中止となりましたが返金手続きもとてもスムーズで満足しています

縄文杉日帰りトレッキングツアー 屋久島で唯一環境省のエコツーリズム研修を受講認定済み by 屋久島の輪
The sense of accomplishment is incredible.
達成感は半端ない。
Activity Date: 2019/06/08 | Posted on: 2019/06/17

The impact of the heavy rain disaster in May and the onset of the rainy season, along with unstable weather and delays at the time of departure, filled me with anxiety as I set off for Yakushima. Arriving at Yakushima Airport was a miracle, especially since it was a connecting flight. It was also miraculous that the mountain bus service resumed on the day of trekking, and despite heavy rain the night before, the weather was clear that day—truly a miraculous start to the trekking adventure.

However, I felt a sense of reassurance from the words of our guide, Shimozono-san, who said, "It will be fine. Let's do our best to go as far as we can."

On the day of the trek, I teamed up with my friends and two young women, making a group of four. "Today is the best," said Shimozono-san. With the June sunshine filtering through the deep green foliage, even though we were sweating, the breeze was refreshing. He helped us manage our pace as trekking beginners, and we successfully reached Jomon Sugi. The miso soup he prepared for our lunch was comforting.

We also took many great photos. Although I had continuously declined invitations to trek to Jomon Sugi, the sense of accomplishment of "I did it too" was overwhelming. Thank you so much for the wonderful memories.

5月の豪雨災害の影響と梅雨へ突入、地元出発時の気象の不安定と大雨で遅延と条件付きと、不安材料満載の中で屋久島へ出発となりました。屋久島空港に到着も奇跡、しかも乗り継ぎで。トレッキング当日に登山バス運行が再開となったのも奇跡、前日は夜間も大雨だったのに当日は晴れたのも奇跡で、ホントに奇跡尽くしのトレッキングの始まりでした。
しかし、前日にガイドのシモゾノさんからの「大丈夫でしょう。行けるところまでがんばってき行きましょう。」というお言葉になぜか安心感がわきました。
当日は友達と、他に二人の若い女性との4人でトライしました。「今日は最高だよ」とシモゾノさん。6月の晴れ間で深緑の隙間から光がさし、汗をかいても風が涼しく、長ーい道のりをトレッキング初心者の4人のペース配分して下さり、無事に縄文杉までたどり着くことが出来ました。用意してくださった昼食のお味噌汁浸みました。
いい写真もたくさん撮れました。
誘いを拒否しつづけてきた縄文杉トレッキングでしたが、「私でも出来た」という達成感は半端なかったです。
良い思い出を本当にありがとうございました。

A reward just for those who worked hard!
頑張った人だけのご褒美‼️
Activity Date: 2019/06/12 | Posted on: 2019/06/14

Despite it being June, the weather was nice, and I was able to reach Taiko Rock in the heat! The mossy forest along the way was the setting for "Princess Mononoke"! I was so happy! After that, there was a steep slope, and I worked hard to climb through the pathless area, leading to an incredible view!! It was a reward view that only those who put in the effort could see! It was a moment that made me feel glad I came.

6月にも関わらず天気も良く、暑い中太鼓岩まで行けました!途中の苔むすの森はもののけ姫の舞台!嬉しかった!そこから急斜面が続き道なき所を頑張って登った先に大絶景!!頑張った人だけが見えるご褒美ビュー!来て良かったと思える瞬間でしたよ。

白谷雲水峡半日(苔むす森まで)トレッキングツアー<宮之浦~安房エリア送迎可能> by 屋久島の輪
I'm glad I went to Shiratani Unsuikyo.
行って良かった白谷雲水峡
Activity Date: 2019/06/11 | Posted on: 2019/06/14

The day after climbing Jomon Sugi, I was worried about whether I could go, but since the departure was at 8:30 AM and I was back at my accommodation by noon with a shuttle service included, I’m really glad I chose this plan. The guide was kind and took photos at various points, creating great memories. Above all, the scenery of the Forest of the Mononoke was amazing. Compared to the Jomon Sugi climb, this course is easier, so if you're considering this course the day after climbing Jomon Sugi, it seems that athletic shoes would have been sufficient, and you can go with minimal luggage—just water and your phone. If I have the chance to go to Yakushima again, I would love to visit this place.

縄文杉登山の翌日で、行けるかどうか不安でしたが、出発も8時30分と余裕があり12時には宿泊先に戻っている送迎付きのプランだったので本当にこのプランを選んで良かったです。
ガイドさんも優しく、ポイントポイントで写真を撮ってくださり良い思い出が出来ました。何より、もののけの森の景色が最高でした。
縄文杉登山と比べると簡単なコースになるので、縄文杉登山の翌日にこのコースを検討しているのであれば運動靴でも良かったようで、荷物も水と携帯のみという最小限で行けるコースです。屋久島に行く機会があればまた行きたい場所です。

縄文杉と白谷雲水峡(苔むす森 & 太鼓岩)2日間トレッキングツアー by 屋久島の輪
We were blessed with good weather, but...
お天気には恵まれましたが・・・。
Activity Date: 2019/03/24 | Posted on: 2019/06/02

On the first day, the Jomon Sugi was under clear skies, perfect for trekking. The scenery and weather were wonderful, but the guide seemed overly focused on the time and hardly looked back, providing little explanation. There wasn't even time to take photos. To make matters worse, while I was taking pictures, the guide went ahead and disappeared from view. The guiding was completely pointless; I believe I would have enjoyed it much more if I had gone on my own. On the second day, I had a different guide who shared various stories with us. It seems there is a significant difference depending on the guide. I hope for a certain standard of service from the guides. There is really no point in having someone accompany you if it’s like this.

1日目の縄文杉は晴天で、トレッキング日和でした。景色も天気も素晴らしかったのですがガイドさんが時間ばかり気にしているのか後ろも見ず、説明もほとんどありませんでした。写真を撮ってる暇もありません。
挙げ句の果てには、写真を撮っている間にさきにいって見えなくなりました。
ガイドの意味が全くなく、むしろ個人で行った方がより深く楽しめたと思います。2日目は違うガイドさんでいろいろお話してくれました。
ガイドさんの当たり外れで雲泥の差があるように思います。
ある一定の接客レベルの人であってほしいです。一緒にいってもらう意味が全くありません。

Activity Date: 2019/05/12 | Posted on: 2019/05/28

It was a bit tough for the guys in their 40s who are not used to exercising, and one person dropped out, but the sense of achievement was incredible. The guide was also a veteran, which was great.

40代の運動不足のオジさんたちにはちょっとキツイプログラムで1人リタイアしましたが、その分達成感ハンパなかったです。ガイドもベテランの方で◎

First Yakushima Trekking
初屋久島トレッキング
Activity Date: 2019/05/22 | Posted on: 2019/05/24

Due to a landslide caused by heavy rain, I had given up on climbing from the Arakawa trailhead, but I received an alternative suggestion that I could reach Jomon Sugi from Shiratani Unsuikyo, which would take about 12 to 13 hours. Thanks to that, I was able to climb successfully! This meant that my trip was reduced from two days to one. Climbing from Shiratani Unsuikyo involves ascending two mountains, so it can be really tough if you're not in good shape.

The phone support was a bit chaotic, possibly due to coordination with others, as I was told different things than what was initially communicated. However, in the end, I was able to climb, so I have no complaints.

It may take some time for recovery, but Yakushima is a place you can visit with peace of mind, so I definitely encourage those who had given up to go!

大雨による土砂崩れで荒川登山口から登れないとのことで諦めていたところ、白谷雲水峡からだったら12,3時間かかるけど縄文杉に行けますと代替案をいただき無事に登れることが出来ました!その都合で2日間ではなく1日になりました。白谷雲水峡からだと山を2つ登るので体力がないと本当につらいと思います。
電話対応は他の人との兼ね合いも合った為かうまくいかず、案内されていたことと違う事を言われたりとゴタゴタしましたが、最終的には登ることが出来たので言うことはありません。
おそらく復旧には時間がかかるかもしれませんが、屋久島は安心して行くことが出来るので、諦めていた方にも是非行ってほしいです!

I went to the moss-covered forest, and from start to finish, it was a continuous series of beautiful scenery. It was the first time I thought moss and water could be so beautiful. The guide's pace was just right, and I enjoyed listening to the explanations. Thank you very much.

苔むす森まで行きましたが、その森に行くまでも、最初から最後までステキな景色の連続でした。苔と水があんなにキレイと思ったのは初めてです。ガイドさんのペースもちょうどよく、解説も楽しく聞けました。ありがとうございました。

I've never seen greenery this vibrant and lively before!
緑がこんなに蒼くて生き生きしてるのを始めて見ました!
Activity Date: 2019/05/15 | Posted on: 2019/05/18

I participated in a course that started at 9 AM on May 15. It was raining from the morning, and the water level was a bit high. I had heard that there was quite a difference in elevation, but the path was better maintained and easier to walk than the Jomon Sugi trail. On the way to the Mononoke Forest, the greenery and the sound of flowing water were beautiful, allowing me to fully enjoy nature!

As the rain got heavier and the river swelled, some people turned back instead of going to the mossy forest. However, with the guide present, I felt secure and was able to reach the mossy forest. The mossy forest was truly vibrant green, and I was glad I crossed the river to get there! That day, there were heavy rains across the country, including the first in 50 years in Tanegashima, so unfortunately, we couldn't make it to Taiko Rock. It was good that the guide made that decision.

On the way back, the water level was even higher, so we took a detour that we usually wouldn't take. Since the detour wasn't a single path, I think I definitely wouldn't have been able to return without the guide. Also, because it’s not a path that people usually walk on, there was a lot of moss, and the greenery was much more vibrant than the path we had taken before, making me feel like I was in nature. I felt a bit lucky! (laughs)

A folding umbrella was very useful throughout the entire course. For those who exercise regularly or are used to hiking, there were many parts where you could walk smoothly with the umbrella without using your hands. However, for those who do not exercise or are elderly, it was difficult to climb while holding an umbrella, and there were moments when the guide had to carry some of our belongings. Since I exercise regularly, I found it much easier and enjoyed it more than the Jomon Sugi trail, but I think those who are not used to exercising should be prepared for some tough spots.

When climbing or during rain, I think it’s better to have gloves since you have to cross rivers.

The guides in Yakushima were all very friendly, and I felt like I was meeting a countryside grandfather. (My guide mentioned he was the oldest guide in Yakushima.) Before making the reservation, I was debating whether to just go to Jomon Sugi, but I’m really glad I went! I hope everyone gets to see it in person, so please prepare well in advance and get in shape to enjoy it!

5月15日に9時からのコースに参加しました。
朝から雨が降っていて少し増水していました。
標高差がかなりあると聞いていましたが、縄文杉よりも道が整備されていて歩きやすかったです。
もののけの森に着くまでにも緑や流れる水の音がとても綺麗で自然を満喫できました!
だんだん雨がきつくなり、川が増水、苔むす森に行かず引き返す人もいましたが、
ガイドさんが居たので安心して苔むす森にまでたどり着けました。
苔むす森はほんとうに緑が鮮やかで川を超えてでも行って良かった!と思いました。
その日は前日種子島で50年ぶりの大雨となるなど全国で天気が荒れた日でしたので、
残念ながら太鼓岩までは行くことができませんでした。
そう行った判断もガイドさんがしてくれたので良かったです。
帰りはもっと増水していたので普段通らない迂回路を通りました。
迂回路は一本道では無いのでガイドさん無しでは絶対戻ってこれなかったと思います。
また、普段人が通らないので苔が沢山生えていて、それまで通っていた道より格段と緑が青くて自然の中にいる気持ちになりました。
少し得した気持ちになりました!笑

全工程で折りたたみ傘がとっても役に立ちます。
ある程度運動している人や、登山している人なら手を使わず傘のまますいすいと歩ける箇所がほとんどです。
ただ、運動していない方、ご年配の方は傘をさして登るのは出来ず、ガイドさんに荷物を持ってもらう場面もありました。自分は普段から運動しているので縄文杉よりも全然楽で楽しめたのですが、運動をされていない方はそれなりにきつい場面もあると思った方がいいと思います。
登ったり、雨が降った時には川を渡るので手袋もあった方がいいと思います。

屋久島のガイドさんたちは皆さんとても人柄がよくて田舎のおじいちゃんに会ったような気持ちになりました。(私の今回のガイドさんは屋久島ガイドで最年長だと言っていました)
予約前は縄文杉だけにしようか悩んだのですが行って本当に良かったです!!是非生で見てほしいので、事前準備をしっかりして自分も鍛えてから楽しめる準備をして行ってほしいです!

縄文杉半日+白谷雲水峡半日(太鼓岩まで) 2大トレッキングコースを日帰りで! by 屋久島の輪
Crossing the finish line with determination.
根性でゴール
Activity Date: 2019/05/05 | Posted on: 2019/05/10

The day before, the guide emphasized, "This is a really tough tour, are you sure you're okay with that?" I started to worry about whether we would be able to reach the goal while dozing off, and when it was time to wake up, I steeled myself and headed to the meeting point.
By "steeling myself," I mean I was determined not to give up. Of course, the goal was for the whole family to finish together.

Based on the guide's various experiences, our plan was to trek through Shiratani Unsuikyo first, then head to Jomon Sugi. If we did it the other way around, we would be exhausted from the Jomon Sugi trek and then have to climb a long, steep slope from the fork towards Shiratani Unsuikyo. That makes sense.

On the day of the trek, we were blessed with perfect weather, and thanks to our excellent guide, we were able to reach the goal. I realized that keeping pace with the guide was a crucial factor in being able to finish. If you're not confident in your trekking abilities, please make sure to stay behind the guide!

The scenery is something that words can't fully express. Please challenge yourself with determination; amazing nature awaits you! The muscle soreness from that day is also a memorable experience.

前日にガイドの方から、本当にしんどいツアーですが大丈夫ですか?と言うことを念押しされ、ゴールできるのだろうか?などすごく心配になりつつ、ウトウトしていたら起きる時間になり、覚悟を決めて集合場所へ向かいました。
覚悟とは、絶対にギブアップしないという覚悟です。もちろん家族全員でゴールする。ということです。

ガイドの方の色んな経験から私たちは、白谷雲水峡➡縄文杉、先に白谷雲水峡をトレッキングするプランでした。
縄文杉➡白谷雲水峡にすると、縄文杉トレッキングでクタクタになったうえに、白谷雲水峡への分かれ道から、長い長い坂道を登っていかないといけないからです。
なるほど~。

当日は最高のお天気に恵まれ、最高のガイドの先導のおかげで、ゴール出来ました。
ガイドの方の歩調についていくことが、ゴールできる大事な要因だと痛感しました。
トレッキングに自信のない方は、是非ガイドの方の後ろを確保してくださいね~

景色などは言葉で言い表しきれないものです。
覚悟を決めて挑戦してみてください、すばらしい自然が待っていますよ~
当日からの筋肉痛もたまにはいい思い出です。
