I participated alone as a male.
If there was no fog, the view from Taiko Rock might have been wonderful, which is a bit disappointing, but the mossy forest in the light rain healed all that regret.
I was also really happy to meet Mr. Suzuki from Kyoto.
The guide, Mr. Shimonozono, was very accommodating, and I had a great time.
Thank you very much.

霧がないなら太鼓岩からの景色は素晴らしいかもしれん、

I participated on April 17, 2016. Since I had no mountaineering experience, I was anxious about joining this course, thinking it might be reckless. However, I was eager to see the cedar trees, Taiko Rock, and the moss-covered forest, so I decided to join.
Thanks to the rain that continued until dawn, I felt the grandeur of nature with the sight of a raging river, sunlight filtering through the moss-covered trees, and more. It was a day filled with breathtaking views from Taiko Rock, the sounds of small birds and monkeys, and many other moving experiences. It seems both of us were completely captivated by Yakushima.
I am grateful to Takahashi and all the staff for making this a special day. Thank you very much! ♪♪ Oh, it seems I forgot to take a commemorative photo together before heading back. Σ(゚д゚lll) What a shame.

登山経験が無かったので、こちらのコースに参加させて頂くのは無謀ではないかと、不安を抱えながらも、杉も、太鼓岩も、苔むす森も見たいと欲張って参加させて頂きました。
明け方まで降り続いた雨のおかげで、激流の川、水を抱える苔に木漏れ日が射し込む風景、に大自然を感じ。神々しい木々、太鼓岩からの絶景、小鳥や猿の鳴声etc‥感動の連続な1日となりました。2人共すっかり屋久島に魅了されてしまった様です。
担当の高橋さんはじめ、スタッフの皆様のお力添えにより、特別な1日となりました事、感謝致します。ありがとうございました♪♪
あっ、一緒に記念撮影する事を忘れて帰ってきてしまった様です

We visited Shiratani Unsuikyo and Jomon Sugi in one day, and it was fantastic with so many highlights! My husband and I might have slowed down a bit, but we were able to enjoy the guide's stories until the end, which was great. It made me want to watch Princess Mononoke again. The weather also helped us have an amazing time, making it a truly memorable tour.
白谷雲水峡と縄文杉を1日で回りましたが、見所いっぱいで最高でした!
私たち夫婦が少しペース落としてしまったかもしれませんが、最後まで楽しくガイドさんのお話も聞けて良かったです。
もののけ姫を再度見たくなりました。
天気にも最高の時間を過ごすアシストをしてもらい、本当に思い出に残るツアーとなりました。

It was my first mountain climbing experience. I participated with anxiety about whether I could complete the course of Jomon Sugi and Shiratani Unsuikyo, having no prior experience. Honestly, there were moments when it felt tough, but the guide helped distract us during the difficult times with games and funny stories, making the challenging moments enjoyable. I also teamed up with someone I met for the first time, and we had fun chatting and laughing along the way. While I was moved by Jomon Sugi, the view from Taiko Rock was the best I’ve ever seen, especially with the nice weather! I plan to visit Yakushima again in a few years to see how the mountains have changed. Thank you for everything, Tsugimura!
初登山でした。 全く経験のない自分が縄文杉と白谷雲水峡のコースを完歩出来るのか 不安を抱えての参加でしたが 正直 苦しく感じることもありましたが ガイドが 苦しい時間帯に ゲームや笑い話をしてくれ こちらの気を紛らわせて 苦しくも楽しく感想することができました。 また初対面の人とバディを組んでの道のりでしたが 世間話等々で 笑いもありで楽しかったです。 縄文杉も感動しましたが 太鼓岩からの景色は 天気がいい事もあって 今まで見た景色では最高となりました!
また 数年後 変化した屋久島の山を見に行こうと思います。 津曲さん 色々とありがとうございました!
Dear Maeda,
Thank you for your hard work during the long trek the other day.
Have you recovered from your muscle soreness?
Yakushima has many other great spots, and the scenery changes with different seasons, so please come back to visit us again sometime.
I look forward to seeing you next time as a mountain boy!

Since it was my first time trekking and I had some anxiety, I chose the Taiko Rock course instead of Jomon Sugi. I had work until the day before and had to go back to work right after, so it was the right decision to take a leisurely morning tour. I was very satisfied to finally visit the Forest of Mononoke! Additionally, I was able to hear the tour guide talk about moss and cedar along the way, which deepened my understanding of Yakushima. The guide also prepared miso soup and a Kodama doll for photos, and I was touched by that service! It became the best memory. Thank you very much.
トレッキング自体が初めてで不安があったため、縄文杉ではなく太鼓岩のコースにしました。前日まで仕事、帰る日もすぐ仕事と弾丸ツアーであったためゆとりのある朝ゆっくりのツアーにして正解でした。念願のもののけの森に大満足!さらに道中ツアーガイドさんのコケやスギのお話を聞くことができ、より屋久島の理解が深まりました。ガイドさんがお味噌汁や写真用にコダマのお人形を準備してくださっており、そのサービスに感動しました!最高の思い出になりました。ありがとうございます。
Dear Mayakuro,
I apologize for the late response. I'm glad to hear that you had a thoroughly satisfying tour. Our guides do more than just provide directions; they explain the natural environment and the history and culture of Yakushima in an easy-to-understand manner.

I originally planned to go only to the Mossy Forest, but thanks to the guide's kindness, I was taken all the way to Taiko Rock. That was truly the right decision, as I was able to enjoy a great view at Taiko Rock!
During the tour, I also took many photos and videos, and even saw Kodama, which made it a lot of fun. Thank you very much!
元々苔むす森までで考えていたのですが、ガイドさんのご好意により急遽太鼓岩まで連れていってもらいました。
それが本当に正解で、太鼓岩ではいい眺めを見ることが出来ました♪
またツアー中はたくさん写真や動画を撮っていただいたり、こだまも登場したりととても楽しかったです。ありがとうございました!

The forecast said it would start raining in the early afternoon, but we began our hike at 5:30 under light rain. There were five of us, a mix of men and women, all beginners and relatively close in age, ranging from those in their early 30s to those in their 40s, along with our guide. It was a bit foggy in Shiratani, but it didn't rain heavily, so we managed to get to Taiko Rock while using umbrellas to shield ourselves. At Taiko Rock, the visibility wasn't completely gone, and we were able to take commemorative photos.
As we descended from Tsuji Pass to the Torokko Path, the weather cleared up a bit, which slowed our pace slightly. From the Torokko Path to Okubo Trail and Wilson's Stump, we picked up the pace a little, and we had lunch around 11:30. The rain held off, so we were able to eat without umbrellas. We passed by people who were just starting to descend from the Jomon Sugi course, and when our guide mentioned that we were coming from Shiratani over Tsuji Pass, they all seemed surprised (with reactions mixed between admiration and disbelief).
The ascent was quite tough, but we persevered and reached Jomon Sugi around 12:30. After that, it was just a descent. After turning back, the rain started to come down heavily, just as the forecast predicted. From the area near the elementary school, where the Torokko Path becomes just the ties, we got soaked from the rain. We continued walking quietly and finally arrived at the Arakawa Trailhead at 16:40! We finished in 11 hours and 10 minutes, which was quite a bit longer than initially planned.
予報では昼過ぎから降り出すとのことでしたが、朝から小雨が降る中での5:30白谷スタートとなりました。30代前半に見える方からアラフォーまで割と年も近く、初心者ばかりの男女5名とガイドさん。白谷では多少ガスっていましたが、本降りまではならず、傘差してしのぎながら、太鼓岩まではまず順調でした。太鼓岩でも全く見えないてほどでもなく、記念撮影も出来ました。辻峠からトロッコ道までのくだりで晴れてきたからか、若干のペースダウン。トロッコ道から大株歩道、ウィルソン株まで若干のペースアップして頂き、11:30頃昼食。雨ももってくれて傘なしで食べれました。縄文杉のみコースの人たちがちょうど下り始める時間帯ですれ違いましたが、白谷から辻峠越えだとガイドさんが告げると一様に驚かれました笑。(感嘆と、アホか、の入り混じったリアクション。)登りは結構キツかったですが、がんばって縄文杉まで到達!!12:30くらいだったでしょうか。後は下るだけ。折り返してから雨が本降りになってきました。予報通りです。トロッコ道も枕木のみになる小学校辺りからは雨でビシャビシャでした。黙々と歩き続けて、結果16:40に荒川登山口に到着!!当初予定よりだいぶまけて、11時間10分でした。
Dear kyosk2002,
Thank you for participating in our activity. Although it was challenging in the rain as forecasted, it was a blessing for the moss... I hope you were able to see the vibrant moss. Yakushima has many other places with moss and giant trees, so please come again.

I had little mountain climbing experience and it was my first time in Yakushima.
First, before participating. They promptly and politely answered my questions. Thanks to that, my anxieties were resolved one after another.
Also, this is the only tour that allows you to visit Jomon Sugi and Kumoi Sato in one day. We experienced severe muscle pain the next day, so it was good that we did it all in one day.
On the day of the tour, it was a time when there were few tourists, and we were the only participants.
Our guide (we were taken care of by the local guide) was very kind. They provided knee support, took photos for us, and offered encouraging words as we slowed our pace... We truly appreciated their help!
The driver was also kind. Even though we arrived late on the way back, they welcomed us warmly.
The number of participants can vary significantly between the off-season and on-season, so the tour situation may change, but everyone involved was wonderful!
Of course, Jomon Sugi and Kumoi Sato are also amazing!
登山経験少なく、初屋久島でした。
まず、参加前。
質問した内容にすぐ、丁寧に答えてくれます。
おかげで不安が次々と解決しました。
そして、1日で縄文杉と雲水郷に行けるのは、このツアーだけです。
私達は翌日激しい筋肉痛になったので、1日で行っておいて良かったです。
そして当日。
私達の場合は観光客の方が少ない時期で、私達だけの参加でした。
ガイドさん(私達は局さんにお世話になりました)が優しいです。
膝のサポート、写真撮影もして下さった上、歩くペースが遅くなる私達に優しい声かけ…

ドライバーさんも優しいです。
帰りは到着が遅れてしまったのに優しく迎えてくれました。
オフシーズンとオンシーズンでは参加人数がかなり違うのでツアー状況などは変わるかもしれませんが、関わってくれる方々、素晴らしいです!
もちろん、縄文杉、雲水郷も素晴らしいです!
Thank you for sharing your experience.
Completing the course of Jomon Sugi and Shiratani Unsuikyo on my first mountain climb has given me confidence for the future.
Yakushima also has other climbing courses, and there are many wonderful places not just in the mountains, but also by the sea and rivers, so please come back to visit us someday.
I will also pass on your comments to the guide in charge.

Although the weather was not sunny on the day of your visit and the view from Taiko Rock was not great, I believe the misty scenery was a nice alternative.

The weather was nice, and trekking while listening to the sound of the river was truly healing. I thought it would be easy since it was a short trek, but there were times when I felt it was harder than trekking to Jomon Sugi because we kept moving without taking breaks. The world of living moss was even more impressive than in the photos!
天候も良く川のせせらぎを聞きながらのトレッキングは、心から癒されました。
短時間のトレッキングなので、簡単!と思っていましたが、休憩することなく進むので、縄文杉のトレッキングよりハードと感じる時もありました。

I unexpectedly got sore muscles from the 150-minute Yakusugi Land course the day before, and I was worried about the course to Taiko Rock, but thanks to the guide's enjoyable conversation and kind, attentive guidance, I was able to hike comfortably.
We left the hotel at 9 AM, which allowed us to take our time, and that was one of the reasons I chose this tour.
On the day of the hike, we were blessed with good weather, and we didn't encounter any rain, making it easy to walk. However, it would have been even better if it had been sunny at Taiko Rock.
The Forest of Mononoke was mystical and healing. I want to watch the movie "Princess Mononoke" when I get back. Actually, I haven't seen it yet! (laughs)
前日のヤクスギランド150分コースで不覚にも筋肉痛になってしまい、心配された太鼓岩までのコースでしたが、ガイドさんの楽しい会話と親切、丁寧な案内で快適に山歩きできました。
9時にホテル出発だったので、ゆっくりできたのもこのツアーを選んだ理由です。
当日はお天気にも恵まれ、雨に合う事もなかったので歩きやすかったです。
ただ太鼓岩で晴れていたらもっと最高だったのになあ~

About a month ago, I participated here with my sister after being introduced by a friend who had previously visited. Neither of us had a regular exercise routine and we were physically unsure, but thanks to the guide adjusting to our pace, we were able to enjoy the walk to the end. We had many precious experiences that we wouldn't have achieved without the guide, such as learning about the island's flora and fauna and walking the mountain paths before dawn. I'm really glad we pushed ourselves and went for it! Thank you so much, Takahashi-san, for all your help! I hope to see you again when I visit Yakushima.
ひと月ほど前にこちらでお世話になった友人の紹介を受け、姉妹で参加させていただきました。運動習慣もなく、体力的にも不安な2人でしたが、こちらのペースに合わせてガイドしてくださったため、楽しく歩ききることができました。島の動植物のお話や、夜明け前の山道など、ガイドさんと一緒でなければ実現しなかったような貴重な体験がたくさんでき、欲張ってがんばって本当によかったです!
