I recently participated in a tour and went trekking to Jomon Sugi. Thanks to the guide's attentive care and thorough, interesting explanations at key points, I was able to enjoy the approximately 10-hour journey! The guide was relaxed and friendly, which made it easy to talk and enjoy the experience without feeling nervous from the start. Yakushima's great nature is truly amazing. I definitely want to visit Yakushima again soon.
つい先日ツアーに参加し、縄文杉トレッキングをしてきました。
ガイドの方の細やかな気配りと要所での丁寧かつ興味深い解説のおかげで、約10時間に及ぶ行程を楽しく乗り切ることができました!
ガイドさんはゆったりとしていて親しみやすい方で、始めから緊張せずリラックスしてお話ができて楽しかったです。
屋久島の大自然は本当に最高です。近いうちに是非また屋久島を訪れたいと思います。

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

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

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

It was unfortunately rainy, but I finally got to go after wanting to for four years! It would have been even better if it had been sunny, but I still felt the great nature and got to see the scenery that inspired "Princess Mononoke." It was an amazing time!

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

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

Since I had a short stay, I chose the Shiratani Unsuikyo & Taiko Rock & Jomon Sugi greedy course. I knew it was meant for physically fit people, but I thought I could manage. However, it really is not suitable for anyone who isn't in great shape! I was still okay in the first half, but on the way back in the second half, my knees started to hurt, and it was tough. I was so exhausted that I couldn't even feel moved when I saw Jomon Sugi. I didn't even have the energy to take photos; all I felt was tiredness and pain in my legs. Let's choose a course that suits our abilities!
滞在日数が少なかったので、白谷雲水峡&太鼓岩&縄文杉のよくばりコースにしました。
体力のある人向けとは分かっていましたが、なんとかなるだろうと選んだのですが
ホントに体力ある人しか選んじゃダメですね!
前半はまだ余裕があったのですが、後半帰り道ヒザが痛くなり、辛かったです。
余裕がなさすぎて、縄文杉を見ても全く感動できなかったほど。

Since it was a veteran guide, we were able to finish safely until the end. However, because they were experienced, I felt that the focus was more on safety and efficiently reaching the destination rather than on the quality of the guiding and entertaining the customers. I believe the enjoyment of trekking to Jomon Sugi depends on the guide, but overall, it was a lot of fun. Thank you very much.
ベテランガイドの方だったので安全に最後まで終えることができました。
しかしベテランということもあってガイドの質、お客様を楽しませるということより、安全面や順調に効率よく目的地に辿り着くことに重きを置いていると感じました。
ガイドさんで縄文杉のトレッキングの楽しさは決まると思うのですが、トータルではとても楽しかったです。ありがとうございました。

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

It was a 24 km trekking tour from Jomon Sugi to Taiko Rock to Shiratani Unsuikyo.
We were guided along the entrance while walking the trolley path, enjoying the highlights.
On the way there, we fully enjoyed the unique cedars in nature, and we had a private moment at the Wilson stump, taking plenty of photos.
It was great to see Jomon Sugi before it got crowded.
On the way back, while climbing Tsujitoge, we were able to see wild monkeys and deer up close, which was a rare experience.
We were also introduced to a location that inspired a Studio Ghibli work along the way, adding to the sense of value in the experience.
We were blessed with good weather, so the view from Taiko Rock was amazing.
The area between Taiko Rock and Shiratani Unsuikyo had fresh greenery and streams, and the green illuminated by the light from the shade of the trees was beautiful.
I also enjoyed the return trip from Shiratani Unsuikyo.
I imagined that a long trek might be tough, but both the way there and the return were filled with excitement as we enjoyed the sights.
It may be greedy, but I think it was three times more enjoyable.

It was my first trip to Yakushima. I was torn between the Jomon Sugi course and the Shiratani Unsuikyo course, but I found a course that allows you to experience both in one day.

I participated in a solo trip. Since I don't usually exercise, I was quite nervous before going. The day after visiting Jomon Sugi, I signed up for the Taiko Rock course. In hindsight, it was the right decision to do it in this order. The Hakusan Unsuikyo is shorter in distance than Jomon Sugi, so it felt easier. The moss-covered forest was absolutely wonderful, and the view from Taiko Rock was breathtaking. Personally, I prefer this course over Jomon Sugi. For those who are unsure about going to Taiko Rock, I definitely think you should go! Also, the guide was very knowledgeable about plants and incredibly kind, and I'm glad I signed up for the tour!
ひとり旅で参加。ふだん運動をしないので行く前からかなりびびってました。縄文杉の次の日に太鼓岩のコースに申し込みました。結果、この順番にして正解でした。白山雲水峡は縄文杉より距離も短いので楽に感じます。苔むす森はとてもすばらしかったです、そして太鼓岩からの景色も圧巻でした。個人的には縄文杉よりも好きなコースです。太鼓岩に行くかどうか迷われている方は、ぜひ太鼓岩まで行った方がいいと思います!あとは、ガイドさんは植物に詳しいとても優しい方で、ツアーに申し込んでよかったなと思いました!

The walk to the destination was very slow, but the return was quick. I thought, "Guide, could we have a little more break, please?" However, I was impressed that no one fell behind and we all made it back to the bus on time. Since the walk there was slow, by the time we arrived, other groups had already started descending, which was nice because it was less crowded.
I encountered deer and monkeys among the six species originally on the island. On the way back, it rained quite a bit, but the misty Jomon Sugi was very mystical and majestic.
行きがとってもゆっくり歩いてくださって、でも帰りが早くて

My first mountain climbing experience. I was anxious since I was traveling alone as a woman, but the guide helped by pacing us slowly. Additionally, I was able to climb lightly by leaving my luggage along the way, which helped conserve my energy. When I actually went, I found that I really loved the mountains in Shiratani Unsuikyo more than Jomon Sugi, so it was a great decision to be greedy. If you only go to Jomon Sugi, you'll just see a long trolley path and a lot of cedar trees. It's a long course, but there are tourist spots along the way, so it doesn't get boring. If you walk slowly and without rushing, you can conserve your stamina. The Shiratani Unsuikyo to Jomon Sugi course avoids the crowds of climbers on the Jomon Sugi-only course. This way, you can climb at your own pace, and there was hardly any waiting for photos or restrooms. I definitely recommend beginners to go with a guide. They teach you about Yakushima's history and more, which is educational, and you really get to appreciate the beauty of Yakushima's nature, which is moving. I can't stay long, but...
初登山。ひとり旅で女だし、不安でしたが、ガイドさんがゆっくりペース配分してくれました。また、途中、荷物を置きながら身軽に登山ができ、無駄な体力を使わずに登山することができました。私は、実際行ってみると縄文杉より、白谷雲水峡の山の中がとても好きになり欲張って正解でした。縄文杉だけだと、長いトロッコ道と、杉の木ばかりです。長いコースですが、要所要所に、観光スポットがあるので、あきません。ゆっくり焦らず歩けば体力温存できます。白谷雲水峡→縄文杉コースなら、縄文杉だけのコースの登山者の混雑にかかりません。なので、自分達のペースで登山ができるし、写真やトイレも並ぶようなことはほとんどありませんでした。初心者さんは、是非ガイドさん付きをオススメします。屋久島の歴史やらなんやら教えてくれるので勉強にもなるし、屋久島の自然のすごさがよくわかり、感動します。長く滞在できないけど、た

I participated with my daughter. Since I was the oldest at 50 years old among the other two girls and five guides, I worked hard not to be a burden to everyone (laughs). The trek from Shiratani to Jomon Sugi and back was quite tough, but thanks to the guide saving the detour to Taiko Rock for the end, I was able to finish on a high note. My knees were at their limit, and I barely made it to the goal. Mentally, I felt I could still go on, but my body was at its limit; my daughter felt physically fine but was mentally exhausted (laughs). I would have retired if it had rained even a little. The pleasant breeze was on my side, and I felt like I was called by Jomon Sugi (laughs).
For over 12 hours, the guide kept talking, which made the walk enjoyable and kept us from getting bored. Thank you for the fun stories. Thanks to the various quizzes about Princess Mononoke, even though I’ve never seen it, I’m looking forward to renting the DVD and watching it while recalling the guide's stories.
Due to time constraints, we chose a tour that covered Jomon Sugi and Shiratani in one day, but for the second time, I might do them separately (laughs). Or perhaps in at Arakawa and out at Shiratani (laughs) since I want to save Taiko Rock for last.
I think this tour course is definitely one that those with confidence in their physical strength should join. The in-and-out of Shiratani will create wonderful memories, but be prepared (laughs) before participating. However, the guide will decide whether to exit at Arakawa or Shiratani based on the participants' conditions, so please consult with them.
I definitely want to go again.
娘と二人で参加させてもらいました。他の二人の女の子、ガイドさん5人の中で最年長50才の自分だったので皆さんに迷惑がかからないように頑張りました(笑)白谷in→縄文杉→白谷outはかなりキツかったのですが、往路にあえて外した太鼓岩を最後に残しておいて下さったおかげで、最高な気分で終えることができました。ひざが限界で本当にギリギリのゴールでした。自分は精神的にはまだまだいけたのですが体が限界、娘は体はまだまだいけるが精神的に限界(笑)自分は、ちょっとでも雨が降ったらリタイヤでしたね。気持ちの良い風も味方してくれたりして、自分は縄文杉に呼ばれたんだなと実感しています(笑)
12時間以上の長い間、ガイドさんが終始お話してくれて、飽きることなく歩き続けられました。楽しいお話ありがとうございました。もののけ姫のいろいろなクイズのおかげで、もののけ姫をみたことがない自分ですがDVDをレンタルしてガイドさんのお話を思い出しながら観るのが楽しみです。
今回は滞在時間の関係で縄文杉と白谷雲水峡を1日でというツアーを選択しましが2回目は別々かな(笑)または荒川口in→縄文杉→白谷outとか(笑)太鼓岩は最後にとっておきたいので。
体力に自信のある方には是非、参加してほしいツアーコースだと思います。in&out白谷は最高の思い出になりますが覚悟して(笑)参加して下さいね。ただ、ガイドさんが参加者の状況でoutを荒川口にするか白谷にするか決めてくださいます。相談してみて下さいね。
また絶対行きたいと思います。

With transportation included to our accommodation, it was an easy move. Our humble guide took many photos at various points and adjusted the pace and timing to match our stamina. Additionally, the kind guide treated us to jelly, miso soup for lunch, tankan pound cake, and tea. Even though it was mid-August, we were able to make a round trip to Taiko Rock without suffering from heatstroke or giving up. The explanations about the climate, plant life, and geological layers were enjoyable. When I mentioned that I would participate in the Jomon Sugi tour the next day, the guide provided precise advice about the equipment. I'm grateful to the guide. I wonder if the songs playing in the car were the guide's own performances? Just a thought.
宿泊先までの送迎付きで、らくらく移動。
素朴なガイドさんがポイントポイントで写真をたくさん撮ってくれ、私達の体力に合わせたペースと時間の配分をしてくれました。
さらに、親切なガイドさんで、ゼリー、お昼のお味噌汁、たんかんパウンドケーキと紅茶をふるまってくれ、8月中旬でしたが、熱中症にならずに、くじけずに太鼓岩まで往復できました。
気候、植物の植生、地層なども解説してくれて、楽しかったです。
また、翌日縄文杉ツアーに参加すると話したら、装備品について的確なアドバイスをしてくれました。ガイドさんに感謝です。
車中、流れていた歌は、ガイドさんの弾き語りだったのでは? なんてね。

I participated despite feeling unwell, but the guide was so interesting that everyone was sore from trekking to Jomon Sugi, yet we forgot our fatigue and had a great time. The guide even showed us how to take photos and provided items, making it a fun tour for the ladies! You definitely should go to Taiko Rock in the morning! The guide, Tsumagari, was really great!
体調不良での参加でしたが、ガイドさんがおもしろくて、みんな縄文杉の筋肉痛でしんどかったけど、疲れを忘れとても楽しいトレッキングでした。写真の撮り方とか、アイテムまで出してくれて、女子には嬉しい楽しいツアーでした!太鼓岩は絶対朝から行くべきです!!ガイドのつまがりさんめっちゃ良かったです!!

It seems that the only course that covers Shiratani Unsuikyo, Taiko Rock, Wilson Stump, and Jomon Sugi in one day is this one from Veltra. The meeting time is at 4:30 AM, and we disband around 5 PM to 6 PM. Whether you choose just the Shiratani Unsuikyo course or just the Jomon Sugi course, you will still experience muscle soreness the next day. In that case, it might be better to do it all at once (laughs).
However, this course is for those who are physically fit and confident in their stamina, as it is designed for the chosen ones. I, who honestly underestimated it and don’t usually exercise much, ended up waiting at Wilson Stump while the other members went on to Jomon Sugi. I was satisfied that I was able to reach Taiko Rock (which was incredibly beautiful on that clear day) – it felt like a miracle.
Also, I felt it was great to have a guide because they not only know the paths well but also consider the pace. Before the tougher climbs like Taiko Rock and Jomon Sugi, they suggested leaving our backpacks behind (which is something beginners might not think of). Thank you, Mr. Shimozono. I look forward to your help again next time! ^^*
1日で白谷雲水峡~太鼓岩~ウィルソン株~縄文杉を巡るのは、ベルトラのこちらのコースだけのようです。
朝4時半集合で、解散は17時~18時くらい。
白谷雲水峡だけのコースでも、縄文杉だけのコースでも、翌日筋肉痛になるのは変わりません。でしたら、1回で済ませた方がよろしいかと(笑)
ただし、日頃から運動していたりして、体力に自信のある、選ばれし者たちのコースでもあります。
日頃大した運動もせず、正直舐めてた私は、ウィルソン株手前で他のメンバーが縄文杉まで行ってくるのを待つことに。太鼓岩(晴れ渡ってめちゃくちゃ綺麗だった)まで行けたのも奇跡だったので満足しています。
また、ガイドを頼んでよかったなぁと感じるのは、道に詳しいのはもちろんのこと、ペース配分を考えてくれることです。太鼓岩や縄文杉など厳しめの登りの前には、ザックなどの荷物を置いていくようにしてくれたり(意外と素人は考えつきません)。
下園さん、お世話になりました。またお世話になるときにはよろしくお願いします^^*

Even as a family of beginner hikers, we were able to see Jomon Sugi! The encouragement from our guide and the fact that the weather improved despite the forecast of heavy rain was truly amazing. If I had to be picky, the guide's explanations were a bit lacking, and there wasn't much time for taking photos, which prevented it from being completely satisfying. However, we did encounter monkeys, making it a fun memory overall.
登山初心者の家族でも縄文杉を見る事が出来ました!ガイドさんの励ましや大雨の予報で降ってたにも関わらず天気の回復予測も当たっていて凄いの一言でした。欲を言えばガイドさんの解説が少ないのと写真を撮る時間があまり無かったことが大満足にならなかった要因です。でも猿にも遭遇したりと楽しい思い出になりました。

I believe many people trek without a guide, but the explanations from the guide at various landmarks are truly wonderful. Even when walking the same path, it feels like each step has its own meaning, which doubles the enjoyment. The scenery is reminiscent of "Princess Mononoke," and for a moment, it made me forget the passage of time.
確かにガイドさんなしにトレッキングをなさるかたも多くおられるかと思いますが、ガイドさんからところどころ名所での説明は、やはりすばらしいものがあります。同じ道を行くにも一つ一つ意味があるような気分になり楽しさ倍増でした。本当に景色は、もののけ姫のようで、しばし、時を忘れ忘れさせてくれました。

A representative came to pick us up at the airport and provided a thorough explanation.
I truly appreciate all the help from start to finish.
I had requested a set including a backpack as an option, and they flexibly accommodated the delivery. They also kindly contacted me in advance. On the day of the trip, we were blessed with great weather. They shared various local knowledge and climbing techniques with us.
I highly recommend participating in the economical plan that allows you to climb all at once! Even if you're not very confident in your physical strength, if you do a little exercise regularly, I suggest visiting not only Jomon Sugi but also Shiratani Unsuikyo since you're going there anyway.
I am in my early 30s, and my mother is 60 years old; we went to experience the world heritage site that my mother had dreamed of. During the descent, my mother was even more energetic than I was. For us, it was better to do it in one day rather than splitting it into two.
Please make sure to go! 😊
空港まで担当の方がお迎えに来ていただき、丁寧に説明をしていただけました。
最初から最後まで本当にお世話になりました。
心から感謝してます。
オプションでリュック等のセットを依頼していたのですが、柔軟にお届けのご対応頂き、
事前連絡も優しくして頂けました。
当日、とても天候に恵まれました。色々な現地での知識や登り方を教えてくださりました。
一気に登るお得なプランはぜひご参加いただきたいと思います!
少々体力に自信がなくても日頃運動を少しされていて、
せっかく行くのなら、縄文杉だけでなく白谷雲水峡も行くことをお勧めします。
私は30代前半、そして母は60歳、母が夢見ていた世界遺産に出会いに行きました。
下りの時なんて、私より母の方が元気でした。
私たちの場合、2日に分けるより、1日で行ってよかったタイプです。
是非ぜひ行ってらしてくださいね!^^

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

体験談への投稿、ありがとうございます。
屋久島に来島するお客様は、2泊3日で来られる方が多く、縄文杉も白谷雲水峡も見たい場合は、
このコースがお勧めですが、体力がないと、ただただ辛いだけになってしまいます。
また次回お越しの際には、時期を変え、また1つ1つのコースを歩くか、他に訪れていないコースにお越しください。
