All Reviews for Private Charter Tours

I was nervous about my first long trek, but with the help of our guide, I managed to make it to the top. I really felt the necessity of having a guide, especially regarding pacing. I don't think we would have made it on our own. There were tough parts, but it was a lot of fun.

初めての長期トレッキングで緊張して致しましたがガイドさんの助けを借りながらなんとか登れました。
ペース配分も含めて、ガイドさんの必要性についてとても感じました。
自分たちでは、辿り着けなかったと思います。
しんどい部分もありますが、とても楽しかったです。

The guide was very experienced and had an interesting way of speaking, which was great. It was quite a long distance and challenging, but the pace was just right, and I was moved when I saw the Yakusugi trees. I would love to climb again someday.

ガイドの人がとてもベテランの方で話も面白くよかったです。かなりの長距離で大変でしたが進むスピードもちょうど良くて屋久杉が見れた時は感動しました。またいつかもう一度登りたいです。

It was a rainy day, but I had a great time. By asking the guide about when to wear rain gear and when to have lunch, I was able to enjoy myself even in bad weather.

あいにくの雨日でしたが、とっても楽しかったです。レインウェアを着るタイミングや昼食を取るタイミングなどガイドさんに聞くことで、悪天候の中でも安心して楽しめました。

Although I had some anxiety, I booked this course because my time in Yakushima was limited. After working remotely since COVID and refraining from going out in my private life, it was truly moving to spend time surrounded by nature again. Unfortunately, due to the weather, we couldn't reach Taiko Rock, but it was a really satisfying tour. The sense of achievement and emotion upon arriving at Jomon Sugi and the moss-covered forest was incredible, but every part of the journey from start to finish was beautiful, and I was able to enjoy a happy time enveloped in delicious air and the scent of nature. Our guide, Tsugimura, adjusted the pace to match the guests, and during breaks, we enjoyed tankan juice, and for lunch, we had tonjiru, which was comforting for our chilled bodies due to the rain. During the trekking, not only did we receive explanations about Yakusugi, but we also participated in quizzes about Princess Mononoke and sea turtles, making the entire experience enjoyable thanks to Tsugimura. Thank you so much!! This time, I chose a plan with rental equipment, and that was a great decision. They delivered it to my accommodation the day before, and they came to pick it up afterward, which was convenient and hassle-free. I also borrowed a backpack cover and trekking poles, which were really helpful. A backpack cover is essential on rainy days. Although there is an additional fee, I highly recommend the rental!

若干不安がありつつも、屋久島滞在時間が限られていたこともあり、こちらのコースを予約しました。コロナ以降リモートワークで、プライベートでも外出を控えていたので、久々に大自然に囲まれた時間は感動ものでした。天候の都合で、あいにく太鼓岩までは行くことができませんでしたが、本当に満足できるツアーでした。縄文杉や苔むす森に到着したときの達成感や感動はもちろんですが、スタートからゴールまで、すべての道のりがとっても美しく、美味しい空気と自然の香りに包まれた幸せな時間を過ごすことができました。ガイドの津曲さんがゲストに合わせたペース配分をしてくださり、途中の休憩にはたんかんジュースを、昼食の時間には豚汁を用意してくださっていて、雨で冷えた身体にしみました。トレッキング中は、屋久杉などの解説だけでなく、もののけの姫クイズやウミガメクイズなどをやってくださり、津曲さんのおかげで終始楽しい時間を過ごすことができました。本当にありがとうございました！！今回、レンタル装備付きのプランを選択しましたが、これは大正解でした。前日、宿まで届けに来て下さり、返却は宿に取りに来てくれるので、手間がかからず便利です。追加でザックカバーとストックをお借りしましたが、これが本当に役立ちました。雨の日のザックカバーは必須です。追加料金は発生しますが、レンタルをおすすめします！

Thank you very much for this opportunity! Since it was our first time climbing, we caused some trouble, but thanks to the quizzes about Yakushima and various games devised by Tsugimura-san during the trekking, we were able to push through both physically and mentally despite our fatigue! This tour was incredibly fun thanks to Tsugimura-san. At the photo spots, they always made sure to set aside time for taking pictures, so we also enjoyed the time to look back at the photos after the tour. If there’s another opportunity, I would love to do it again!

この度はありがとうございました！
自分達がはじめての登山という事で色々ご迷惑をおかけしましたが、トレッキング最中に津曲さん考案の屋久島に関するクイズや、色々なゲームなどをしてくれたことによって、疲労してる中身体的にもメンタル的にも頑張れました！今回のツアーは津曲さんのおかげですごい楽しかったです
フォトスポットでは、必ず写真撮影の時間を設けてくださるので、ツアー後に写真を見て振り返る時間も楽しめました
是非機会があればまた宜しくお願いします

It was the best trip ever!! The tour guide was amazing! They always took care of our physical and mental well-being, and their explanations about the ancient cedar trees motivated us to keep going during the climb! Also, their sense of how to take photos was outstanding; they would say, "Let me borrow your phone!" and took the best pictures for us! Since it was a full course of ancient cedars, they also considered our pacing, and I really think we wouldn't have been able to see everything without the guide. Thank you so much!! It was really tough, but the sense of accomplishment was greater, and I definitely want to go again when I forget the fatigue!

最高の旅行となりました！！
ツアーガイドの方が最高でした！常に私たちの体調と精神力を気にかけてくださり、所々である屋久杉の説明でモチベーションを上げれてまた頑張れるそんな登山でした！また、写真の撮り方センスも抜群で、都度、はい携帯貸して〜！と最高の写真を撮って頂きました！屋久杉フルコースなので、ペース配分なども配慮して頂き、ガイドさんなしだと全てまわりきれなかったと思います。本当にありがとうございました！！
本当にきつかったですが、達成感の方が大きく、また疲労感忘れた頃に是非行きたいと思う旅行となりました！

I had the opportunity to visit Yakushima for the first time. I was worried because a heavy rain warning was issued for the scheduled dates, but they smoothly changed the dates for me, and I was able to go on the Yakusugi trekking, as well as visit the moss-covered forest and Taiko Rock. During our lunch break on the trek, the guide brought us miso soup that really hit the spot after a tiring hike; it was truly delicious and much appreciated!

We walked a long distance over the two days, and it was more about the strain on my legs and knees rather than my stamina, haha. My mother, who is in her 60s, slightly injured her knee. Pain relief patches are a must.

Over the two days, I connected with nature like never before and was able to experience the beauty of Yakushima. The guide shared a lot of information about Yakushima, and I am grateful for their help throughout the two days. Thanks to them, it became a memorable trip. Thank you very much!

初めて屋久島に行かせていただきました。
予定していた日程では大雨警報が出たので心配だったのですがスムーズに日付変更をしていただき、屋久杉トレッキングも行けて、苔むす森や太鼓岩も行けました(^^)
トレッキングのお昼休憩の際にガイドさんが持ってきてくださった味噌汁が疲れにしみて、本当に美味しく、ありがたかったです！
二日間のツアーで長距離歩きますが、体力というよりは足や膝にきました笑
60代の母は膝を少し痛めてしまいました。
湿布は必須ですね。

二日間で人生1番ってくらい自然に触れて、屋久島の美しさを味わうことができました。
ガイドさんも色々屋久島の情報を教えてくださり、二日間お世話になりました。
おかげさまで思い出に残る旅となりました。
ありがとうございました。

The trekking day to Jomon Sugi was canceled due to heavy rain and the bus service was also suspended (all other tours were canceled as well). Since I had a long stay, I urgently requested to change the tour date, and as a result, I was able to visit both Jomon Sugi and Shiratani Unsuikyo. The weather on the tour days was favorable, and the guides on both days were very experienced, which made me feel at ease. The stories shared during the tours were educational and became wonderful memories. Thank you very much.

縄文杉のトレッキング日が大雨でバス運行中止でツアーも中止（他のツアーも全部。。）。滞在日が長かったのでツアーの日にち変更を急遽お願いし、結果縄文杉と白谷雲水両方いけました。ツアー日は天候にも恵まれ、ガイドさんも両日とも経験豊富な方々でしたので安心。ツアー中のお話も勉強になりとてもよい思い出となりました。ありがとうございました。

I had always wanted to see Jomon Sugi, so I was looking forward to climbing with the guide, hearing various stories, and safely enjoying the experience. However, it turned out to be a very disappointing experience.

We climbed with six people, including the guide. At first, I thought the pace on the trolley path was a bit fast, but I kept up. Once we reached the rocky area, the distance between us gradually widened, and I felt that the guide didn't check on us at all. I thought they wouldn't notice if we got injured. On the way back, we were tired, and the gap between those who could keep up and those who couldn't became quite large. The guide sternly told us, "Don't leave too much distance!" but there was no sign of them adjusting the pace for us. The rocky area was slippery, and since I wasn't used to it, I was anxious about keeping up, which made me lose my balance while descending. When another participant asked the guide to wait, they responded with an angry expression and a harsh tone, saying, "There's nothing I can do!!" Normally, wouldn't you ask, "Are you okay?" Even when I expressed that I wanted them to slow down a bit, they said that wasn't possible.

Later, when we reached a rest area, in front of many people from another tour, the guide loudly said, "It's a group tour, so we can't adjust to the pace of just two people," and "You're out of shape," which made me feel very embarrassed and unpleasant. I never asked them to adjust to our pace, and was it really necessary to say that in front of so many people? When I asked what would happen if we got injured from rushing, they said, "You just have to try hard."

What surprised me was that when we arrived at the next rest area, the guide was smoking, and when they returned, their attitude completely changed. They asked, "Does your foot hurt? I have a supporter. You should stretch!" as if they were a different person. Towards the end of the tour, they had the participants walk at the front while they walked at the very back. The person who had scolded us for leaving distance was now chatting with another participant and creating a gap between us.

In summary, I couldn't enjoy nature at all and had an unpleasant experience on this tour. It may depend on the guide, but my satisfaction with this particular guide was the worst. I will advise my friends to avoid this tour when they go to Yakushima.

前から縄文杉を見てみたかったので、ガイドさんと一緒に登って色々な話を聞き安全に楽しく登れることを期待していましたが、とても残念な体験になりました。
ガイドの方と我々含め6名で登りました。最初のトロッコ道、何となくハイペースだなと思いながらも着いていきました。トロッコ道が終わり岩場に差し掛かると、徐々に距離があいていきましたが、ガイドさんは後ろを振り向いて確認することもなく、私達が怪我をしても気付かれないんだろうなと思いました。帰りは疲れていたのもあり、ペースについていける人との差が大きく開くことも。ガイドさんから「距離を空けないように」と厳しく言われ、ペース配分を調整してくれる気配は一切ありませんでした。岩場は滑りますし、慣れていないのに加えて、ペースに着いていかなくてはと焦り態勢を崩しながら岩場を降りていたので、足が攣りそうになってしまい、同じツアー参加者の方がガイドさんに待ってくださいと声をかけると、怒った表情と厳しい口調で「どうにもできないよ！！」と言われました。普通なら「大丈夫ですか？」と声をかけるべきじゃないでしょうか…少しペースを落としてもらいたい旨を伝えても、それは出来ないと言われました。その後休憩所に着いて別ツアーの人が大勢いる前で「団体ツアーなんだから2人のペースに合わせられない」「運動不足だね」と大きな声で言われとても恥ずかしい思いと不愉快な気持ちになりました。私達のペースに合わせて欲しいとは一言もお願いしていませんし、大勢の前で言う必要はあったのでしょうか。焦って怪我をしたらどうするんですかと聞いても「それは頑張るしかない」と言われました。驚いたのはその後、次の休憩所に着いた時にガイドさんはタバコを吸っており戻ってくると態度は一変、足痛いの？サポーターあるよ？ストレッチしたほうがいいよ？と別人のようになりました。ツアー最後の方に差し掛かると、参加者に先頭を歩いてもらい、ガイドさんは一番後ろを歩くことに。。距離をあけるなと怒った本人が、別の参加者と喋りながら歩いて、前を歩く私達と差ができていました。。。
長くなりましたが、まとめると全く自然を楽しむこともできず、不愉快な思いをしたツアーでした。ガイドさんによりけりなのかもしれませんが、こちらのガイドさんとのツアー満足度は最悪でした。
友人が屋久島に行く時は、少なくともこちらのツアーは避けるようにと助言します。

The tour to Shiratani Unsuikyo was canceled due to rain, but we changed our plans and switched to an island tour. I could feel the guide's wealth of knowledge and spirit of service until the very end, and I had a wonderfully enjoyable day!!!

雨のため白谷雲水峡へのツアーが中止となりましたが予定を変更して島内観光に切り替えて頂きました。ガイドさんの知識量やサービス精神を最後の最後まで感じられ、とても楽しめる一日を過ごすことができました！！！

We participated in a family trip with a couple in their 60s and two adult children. I was a bit anxious about the Jomon Sugi course due to my lack of confidence in my physical strength, but thanks to the guide's excellent time management, course explanations, and storytelling, we had a great time and completed it in 10 hours.

The Shiratani Unsuikyo was also beautiful, even though there were steep sections where we had to use our hands to climb. Everywhere you look is stunning and soothing. The view from Taiko Rock is amazing and highly recommended.

I truly felt that joining the guided tour was a great decision. I gained more knowledge, and we were able to take many photos at key points. Above all, I appreciated that we could complete the trip safely and securely.

I am grateful that this trip became a cherished memory for our family.

60代の夫婦と成人の子供2人の家族旅行で参加しました。縄文杉コースは脚力に自信がなく不安もありましたが、ガイドさんの巧みな時間配分とコース説明、話術のおかげで楽しく10時間で行ってこられました。
白谷雲水峡は途中手を使って登るような急なところもありましたが、とにかくどこを見ても綺麗で癒されます。　
太鼓岩からの眺めも最高で、お勧めです。
今回、ガイドツアーに参加して本当に良かったと思いました。知識も増えましたし、要所、要所でたくさん写真も撮ってもらえました。何より安心、安全に行ってこられたのが何よりです。

家族の大切な思い出に残る旅行になりましたことを感謝いたします。

You can explore on your own, but with a guided tour, you benefit from round-trip transportation, pace management, explanations of key points, photo opportunities, and considerations to ensure you catch your return flight, allowing you to focus on enjoying the experience. Thank you very much.

個人でまわることもできますが、ガイドさんツアーとだと、往復交通、ペース配分、ポイント説明、写真撮影、また帰りの便に間に合うよう配慮いただき、楽しむことに集中して満喫できました。ありがとうございました

I had heard that the tour to Jomon Sugi and Taiko Rock in one day was tough, but I prepared myself and signed up. They were very attentive during the pre-tour consultation, which made me feel at ease participating in the tour. (There was a bit of trouble, but they kindly helped me out.) The guide, Kyoku, was very friendly and made it a wonderful day. They took a lot of photos for us as well. Thank you very much. For those who are not confident about doing the tour to Jomon Sugi and Taiko Rock in one day, this company also offers a two-day tour, which I recommend. I look forward to the next opportunity.

縄文杉と太鼓岩を一日で回るツアーはきついと聞いていましたが、覚悟してこちらに申し込みました。事前の相談にも丁寧にのってくれて安心してツアーに参加することができました。（トラブルがあったのですが、親切に対応してくれて助かりました。)ガイドの局さんはとても親切で楽しくて最高の一日となりました。写真もたくさん撮ってくれました。本当にありがとうございました。縄文杉と太鼓岩を一日で回るツアーに自身がない人はこちらの会社に２日に分けるツアーもあるのでお勧めです。また次回機会がありましたらよろしくお願いします。

On the first day, we were picked up at the accommodation around 4 o'clock. Since it was spring break, we couldn't board the first bus due to a limit on the number of passengers, so we took the second bus. After getting off the bus, the weather was great, and the views through the trees were fantastic. Our group consisted mostly of adults from my family and another family staying at the same lodge, so we were able to walk at a comfortable pace and returned to the Arakawa trailhead in just under 10 hours.

On the second day, we encountered heavy rain like a typhoon in Shiratani Unsuikyo, even though it was March. I thought it was unavoidable to cancel due to the weather, but since the same guide group was staying another night, they changed our departure to early morning on the third day. I was grateful for the luck as the guide's schedule was also open. We were blessed with beautiful weather that made the heavy rain from the previous day seem like a lie.

Especially in Unsuikyo, since it was early morning after the rain, the water droplets falling from the moss and the wet trees and rocks created a very mystical atmosphere. The view from Taiko Rock was also great. Initially, we planned to leave for Unsuikyo later since it requires less time, but I thought the early morning departure was better because it was less crowded and the atmosphere with the moss was lovely.

The guide provided historical information that wasn't written on the explanation boards, as well as points that we learned later, and he made sure we took meals and breaks at less crowded places and times, which was very nice.

初日の縄文杉は4時過ぎに宿にお迎え。春休みということもあり、始発のバスには人数制限で乗れずに2便のバスになりました。バスを降りてからはとても天気が良く木々の合間から見える眺望も最高でした。グループは私の家族のグループと同宿の家族グループでほぼ成年ばかりで構成だったので、程よいペースで歩けて10時間弱で荒川登山口に戻ってきました。
二日目の白谷雲水峡は3月なのに台風のような大雨。天気には勝てないので中止も仕方なく思っていましたが、同じガイドグループの方ももう一泊しているということで、三日目の早朝出発に変更してくれました。同じガイドさんの予定も空いていたそうなので、幸運に感謝！二日目の大雨が嘘のような良い天気に恵まれました。
特に雲水峡は雨の後の早朝だったので、苔から落ちる水滴や、木々や岩々が濡れた様子がとても幻想的でした。太鼓岩からの眺めも良かったです。当初予定では雲水峡は所要時間が短いのでゆっくり出発するつもりでしたが、早朝出発のほうがすいていて、苔むした感じの雰囲気が良いと思いました。
ガイドさんは説明板とかにも書いていない歴史的なことや、その後分かったこととかポイントを押さえて教えてくれ、混雑しない場所やタイミングで食事や休憩をとってくれてとてもよかったです。

On the first day, we were unexpectedly met with heavy rain, so we couldn't attempt to reach Jomon Sugi. Instead, we only participated in the Shiratani Unsuikyo on the second day. Thanks to the rain from the previous day, we were able to enjoy the beautiful moss and the clear blue sky. Our guide was a veteran who was well-acquainted with the plants and photography spots, making the over four-hour hike quite manageable. If we had a bit more time on Yakushima, we could have rescheduled the Jomon Sugi course for another day, so next time I plan to extend my stay beyond two nights and three days for a re-challenge.

初日はまさかの大雨で縄文杉へのアタックは出来ず二日目の白谷雲水峡のみの参加でした。前日の雨のおかげか綺麗な苔とスッキリ晴れた青空を楽しむことができました。ガイドの方もベテランの方で見かける植物や撮影スポット等熟知されていて4時間を超える登山も苦ではありませんでした。屋久島の滞在時間がもう少しあれば縄文杉のコースを別日に振り替えることも出来そうでしたので今度は2泊3日ではなくもう少し滞在時間を伸ばして再チャレンジしようと思います。

I was worried about hiking after a long time, but I was able to walk enjoyably thanks to the quiz-style explanations from our guide, Mr. Hidaka. I’m grateful that we arrived at Jomon Sugi ahead of schedule. The next day at Shiratani Unsuikyo, although it was drizzling, I had a great time thanks to the photography skills and moss explanations from our guide, Mr. Watanabe Kenma. Since it was foggy at Taiko Rock, we decided not to go there and instead enjoyed a tour of the island. Thank you!

久しぶりの登山で心配でしたが、ガイドの日高さんのクイズを交えた説明に楽しく歩けました。無事に、予定より早いスピードで縄文杉に到着でき感謝です。また、翌日の白谷雲水峡は、あいにくの小雨でしたが、ガイドの渡邊剣真さんの写真術と苔の説明に楽しい時間を過ごせました。太鼓岩はガスなので、行くのをやめる代わりに、島内観光をしてくださいました。感謝です。

I had heard that there can be a mix of good and bad guides on Yakushima tours, and unfortunately, I ended up with a guide who wasn't a good match for me, resulting in a sad and disappointing day. The guide was very self-centered, and when the climb became tough, I was subtly encouraged to give up with comments like, "Did you research the Jomon Sugi course?!" and "It's tough for everyone to adjust to a slow pace." I felt disheartened by their strong tone and ended up giving up partway through.

We arrived at the bus stop around 3:10 to 3:20 PM, well in time for the 4 PM and 5 PM buses, yet the guide rushed us to climb faster, even at the expense of those who were slower. I think they simply wanted to finish early since it was raining and quite cold. At one point, an elderly member of our small group fell, and instead of helping, the guide coldly remarked from the front, "You've fallen a few times, so you should be fine, right?!" This was despite there being only three of us in the tour.

In hindsight, I really regret not just climbing at my own pace instead of joining the tour with such a guide. If I had done that, I could have enjoyed seeing the Jomon Sugi, which I had been looking forward to. On a different day, I had a guide from another company who was truly wonderful, so I believe there really is a difference in guides.

屋久島ツアーのガイドさんには当たり外れがあると聞いていましたが、残念ながら私は自分とは相性の良くないガイドさんにあたり、悲しく残念な一日になってしまいました。ガイドさんは終始自分本位で、登りがキツクなると、早いペースについていけない私に「縄文杉コースのこと調べてきた？！」「遅いペースに合わせるのは周りもキツい」など、暗にリタイアをすすめられ、その強い口調に心折れて途中で断念。帰りのバス停には3時10～20分頃付き、4時、5時発のバスには十分に間に合うのに、ペースの遅い人を振り落としてまで急がせて登らせたのは何故だったのでしょう…雨が降り、震えるほどの寒さだったので、単純に早く切り上げたかったのだろうな、と思います。途中同じツアーの高齢の方が転んでしまっても、手助けもせず、先頭から「もう何回か転んでるので大丈夫ですよね？！」という無情なコメント。たった3人のツアー客にも関わらず、です。こういうガイドさんなら、ツアーに入らず、自分のペースで登れば良かった、そうすれば楽しみにしていた縄文杉を見れたのに…と心底後悔しました。別日に別会社でお願いしたガイドさんは、本当に素晴らしい方だったので、当たり外れは本当にあると思います。

On the second day, it was pouring rain and we weren't sure if our flight would take off. It was a bit disappointing that we couldn't cross the river at Shiratani Unsuikyo. This is my evaluation regarding the weather.

2日目が土砂降りで飛行機も飛ぶか分からない状態でした。白谷雲水峡が川が渡れなかったので2日は、少し残念でした。天候のついての評価になります。

On my first visit to Yakushima, I had so many things I wanted to do and places I wanted to go, so I booked a trekking course that could cover everything in one day. At the time of booking, I was anxious since it was my first long hike, but in the end, I think choosing this course was the right decision.

When I arrived in Yakushima, the staff confirmed my belongings and lunch over the phone, which made me feel reassured about the preparations for the day. Our accommodation was in a location that was hard to find on the map, and I was worried about whether the pickup would go smoothly, but thanks to the staff visiting our accommodation beforehand, everything went smoothly on the day.

The trekking included some physically demanding stairs and mountain paths, but our guide, Tsugimura, provided us with estimates on how much longer we had to go, which helped us push through! Tsugimura's conversations covered a wide range of topics, from information about Yakushima to discussions about hobbies, and he also timed the explanations of the spots so that we could enjoy ourselves to the fullest. I truly felt his professionalism.

Additionally, he mentioned that the miso soup we had for lunch was the best to enjoy in the mountains, and I was moved to learn that he had carried the tools to boil water just for this purpose.

During the trekking, he took many photos for us. Not only photos but also videos, using both a smartphone and a GoPro, and he suggested poses, providing us with many creative ideas for shots that we wouldn't have thought of ourselves. As someone who loves photography, I was thrilled with his attention to detail in capturing our experience.

I was truly impressed to have a guide who was so dedicated to photography. At the end, he even created a highlight movie for us and sent all the photos and videos on the same day. I was amazed at how quickly he worked, especially after a long day of hard work!

While visiting spots like Jomon Sugi and the moss-covered forest was certainly the purpose of booking this tour, I felt a sense of joy and accomplishment from the shared memories created with Tsugimura throughout the day, which provided a satisfaction beyond just visiting the spots. This was all thanks to Tsugimura's hospitality, which catered to our perspective.

Thanks to Tsugimura, I fell in love with Yakushima! I would love to trek with him again someday! Thank you so much!!

はじめての屋久島で、あれもこれもやりたいこと、行きたい所があり、トレッキングは1日で全て回れるこちらのコースを予約しました。
予約時はこんなに長時間の登山は初めてで不安もありましたが、
結果的にこのコースにして大正解だと思いました。
屋久島に着くとスタッフの方が電話で持ち物の確認やお弁当のことを確認してくださり、持ち物の面でも安心して当日を迎えられました。
また私たちの宿は地図だとわかりずらい位置にあり、
ピックアップがうまくいくかも不安だったのですが
事前に宿まで下見に来てくださっていたおかげで
当日はスムーズで安心しました。
トレッキングは体力的にキツイ階段や山道もありましたが、
ガイドの津曲さんがあとどれくらいなど目安を教えてくれたので乗り切ることができました！
津曲さんのトークは屋久島のことはもちろん、
趣味の話まで多岐にわたり、
また私たちが最大限に楽しめるように
スポットの説明のタイミングなども考えてくださっていて、
まさにプロの技だと思いました。
また、お昼ご飯に山で飲む味噌汁は最高だからと
お味噌汁をいただいたのですが、
お湯を沸かす道具などこのために背負ってくださっていたのだと知り、
その粋な計らいにも感動しました。
さらにトレッキング中はたくさん写真を撮ってくださりました。
写真だけでなく動画もスマホやゴープロを使い分けて撮影してくださり、
ポーズなどの提案もしてくださり、
自分達だけでは思いつかない撮影アイデアもたくさんで写真好きの私たちはそれもとても嬉しかったです。
ここまで写真撮影にこだわってくださるガイドさんが
いるのだと本当に感激しております。
最後にはハイライトムービーまで作成してくださって
全ての写真、動画はその日のうちに送ってくださり
1日ハードな仕事で疲れているはずなのに仕事が早くてびっくりしました！！

縄文杉や苔むすの森などスポットを巡ることがもちろんこのツアーを予約した目的ではありましたが、
この1日を通して津曲さんと私たちで
共通の思い出ができたような嬉しさと達成感も下山後感じることができ、
スポットを巡ったこと以上の満足感を得られました！
それは私たち目線でガイドをしてくださった津曲さんのおもてなしのおかげです^ ^

津曲さんのおかげで屋久島が大好きになりました！
またいつかトレッキングをするときは津曲さんと登りたいです！
本当にありがとうございました！！

We started at 9 AM on the course to Taiko Rock. It was an experience on a rainy day, but it was magical and allowed us to fully enjoy nature. Since there was a lot of fog, we changed the course based on the guide's suggestion. I'm looking forward to Taiko Rock next time.

9時スタート、太鼓岩までのコースでした。雨の日の体験でしたが、幻想的で自然を満喫することができました。霧が多かったのでガイドさんからのご提案でコースを変更しました。太鼓岩は、次回の楽しみです。

I had some concerns about my physical stamina, but it was an incredibly satisfying tour. Thanks to the guide's thorough and detailed explanations, I was able to enjoy it without any worries. It turned out to be an unforgettable two days. I can confidently recommend this tour!

体力に多少の不安はありましたが、大満足のツアーでした。ガイドさんの丁寧で詳しい説明があったおかげで、心配なく存分に楽しめました。忘れられない 2日間になりました。自信を持っておすすめできるツアーです！

The day before, they kindly provided detailed information about what to bring and the weather. On the day itself, what was supposed to be a long time flew by in an instant. This was because they shared stories about plants and Yakushima, and kept the conversation lively with games and quizzes, making sure we didn't feel tired!

I am grateful for all the thoughtful ways they made the walk enjoyable!

They also know all the best photo spots, so we ended up with a ton of great photos and videos! It became a wonderful memory. I highly recommend it.

前日に、持ち物や天気に応じた必要なことを丁寧に教えてくださいました。
当日は、長時間のはずの時間があっという間でした。というのも、植物や屋久島についてのお話はもちろんのこと、ゲームしたりクイズしたりと疲れを感じないように話してくれました！
楽しく歩き通せる工夫をたくさんしてくださり感謝です！！

写真ポイントも熟知しているため、いい写真や動画もたーーくさん撮ってくださいました！！
とてもよい思い出になりました。
おすすめです。

The morning was incredibly hard, but I was truly healed and purified by the amazing location and mystical atmosphere! Our guide, Tsugimura, was also a very humorous person who cheered us up with laughter during the tiring moments of the tour, and thanks to him, I was able to keep going!!! We were blessed with the season and weather, creating the best memories of my life. The next day, we were able to enjoy hot springs and forest roads, and we talked about how glad we were to have booked this course! I will definitely return to Yakushima again!!!!

朝はめちゃくちゃハードでしたが、最高のロケーションと神秘的な空間に心から癒さ浄化されました！ガイドの津曲さんもはとてもユーモア溢れる方でツアー中の疲れた時に笑いで励ましてくれ、お陰様で頑張ることができました！！！季節も天気にも恵まれて人生の最高な思い出ができました＊　次の日は温泉や林道など楽しむこともでき、このコースに予約して良かったねと話してました！絶対にまた屋久島に戻ってきます！！！！

I usually don't exercise at all, but since the pace was adjusted to a slow one, I was able to go back and forth without getting tired at all. There was only one restroom stop along the way, so I think it's better to manage your hydration while progressing.

Although I made a last-minute reservation, I discussed the weather and decided on the participation date. Additionally, I was informed that they could take me directly to a hot spring near the airport, so I think the trekking on the final day is also possible.

日常まったく運動をしない自分ですが、ゆっくりペースを合わせて頂けたので、まったく疲れなく往復することができました。途中トイレは１回箇所だけなので、水分調節はしながら進んだ方がよいかと思います。
直前の予約でしたが、天候の相談をして参加日を決めました。また、相談したところ、そのまま空港近くの温泉にも送っていただけるようなので、最終日のトレッキングも可能かと思います。

I wasn't exercising, and it was my first experience with trekking, so I was very nervous. The guide helped me maintain my pace and pointed out when to push myself, which really helped me persevere!

The path to Jomon Sugi had some tough spots, but the misty forest was enchanting, making me feel like I was walking in a dream.

At Shiratani Unsuikyo, I fully enjoyed the world of Princess Mononoke that I had always admired. The lush green moss, filled with moisture, was incredibly beautiful.

Walking through the green forest felt really good and refreshing. I drew strength from the Yakusugi and found healing in the moss. I had a wonderful vacation!

運動もしていませんし、トレッキングも初体験で、とても緊張していました。ガイドさんが、ペースを保ってくださって、頑張りどころを教えてくれたので、踏ん張れました！
縄文杉への道のりは、時にしんどい箇所もありましたが、霧がたちこめる森は幻想的で、夢の中を歩いている様な心地でした。
白谷雲水峡では、憧れのもののけ姫の世界を堪能しました。水分を蓄えた苔の緑がとてもキレイでした。
緑の森を歩くのが本当に気持ち良く、清々しい気持ちでした。屋久杉に力をもらって、苔に癒されました。素敵な休暇をすごせました！

The humorous guide not only provided detailed explanations but also took various creatively arranged photos, allowing us to enjoy what would normally be a challenging trek. It was my first real trekking experience, and I felt very secure, which was great.

ユーモアあるガイドさんが細かな説明だけでなく工夫された様々な写真を撮っていただき普通なら大変なトレッキングを楽しみながら出来ました。はじめての本格的なトレッキングでしたが安心感があってとても良かったです。

It was a tour blessed with good weather and great guides for both days. I was worried about the Jomon Sugi trek, with an early pickup at 4:30 AM and a round trip of 22 km, but our guide, Mr. Taniyama, made sure to take breaks at key points, allowing us to enjoy the trek without any issues. He captured wonderful photos at the scenic spots with his veteran skills. Although I was overtaken by some people who arrived later, I was just happy to be in a place I rarely get to visit, enjoying a leisurely trek while listening to explanations about various cedars and plants. I was also thrilled to see wild deer! Additionally, Mr. Taniyama served us miso for lunch, which made me feel incredibly happy. The video he took of all the members at the end of the trek on the trolley path is a fantastic memory.

On the second day, I had heard that the distance was short but surprisingly tough, so I was a bit worried, but those worries were unnecessary. Everything along the way to Taiko Rock, from the moss to the plants, was adorable and fantastic! The view from Taiko Rock was truly life-changing! Our guide for the day, Mr. Uranishi, was also humorous, making for a fun day. He took amazing panoramic photos with a dramatic pose, and even though I was the only one participating, we got plenty of fun pictures. For lunch, Mr. Uranishi treated us to miso and homemade tangor, which made me feel warm and happy.

I believe that while the tour content is important, the memories can change depending on the guides. I’m really glad I chose this tour with two wonderful guides. Thank you very much!

2日間とも天候にもガイドさんにも恵まれたツアーでした。
縄文杉は、4時半ピックアップの早起き、往復22kmのトレッキングということで心配しましたが、ガイドさんの谷山さんが要所要所で休憩取ってくれたりして何不自由なく楽しくトレッキングできました^ ^ 写真スポットでもベテランならではの技術で毎回素敵な写真を撮ってくれました。
後便で来た方に抜かされたりしましたが笑
私としては、中々行くことの出来ないところにせっかく来ているのだから、色々な杉や植物の説明を聞きながらのんびり楽しくトレッキングできたので大満足です。野生の鹿に会えたのも嬉しいですね^ ^また、昼食に谷山さんがお味噌を出してくれて、最高で幸せな気分でした(^^) トレッキング終わる時のトロッコ道で撮ってくれたメンバー全員の動画は最高の思い出です^ ^

2日目は、距離は短いけど、意外にキツイとは聞いていたので心配しましたが…そんな心配はいりませんでした。
太鼓岩に行くまでの苔や植物等何もかも可愛く、最高でした！太鼓岩から見る景色は本当に人生変わる位最高でした！
この日のガイドさんの浦西さんもユーモアのある方で楽しい一日を過ごす事ができました！イナバウワー並みののけぞりで素敵なパノラマ写真を撮ってくれたり、ポーズを指定して1人参加でしたが楽しい写真が沢山できました^ ^
お昼は浦西さんからお味噌と自家製たんかんをいただき、ほっこり幸せな気持ちになりました^ ^

私はツアー内容は勿論ですが、ガイドさんによって思い出が変わると思っていますが、2人のガイドさんに恵まれたこのツアーを選んで本当によかったです(^ ^) ありがとうございました(*^ω^*)

It was great because there weren't many people around. I don't have any climbing experience, but I managed to do my best. It was really disappointing that I couldn't see Jomon Sugi due to the fog. Both days, I had great guides and had a fun time.

人も多くない時期でとても良かったです。登山経験なしですが何とか頑張れました。縄文杉登山は霧でほぼ見えなかったのがとても残念でした。2日とも良いガイドさんに当たり楽しく過ごせました。

On the first day, I was able to change my plan to visit Shiratani Unsuikyo and Jomon Sugi in one day, and I enjoyed it under beautiful weather.

一日目の送迎時に一日で白谷雲水峡と縄文杉を回るプランへ変更していただき無事天気の良い中楽しめました。

We were blessed with great weather for two days, and we also met our local guide, Mr. Taniyama. The scenery was beautiful, and it was so much fun to hear stories that only locals know, as well as anecdotes from his time at Yakushima Junior High School. After taking pictures of everyone and the scenery with my phone, I received them via AirDrop, which created wonderful memories. Thank you so much for the two days!

二日間大変良い天気に恵まれて、また、地元出身のガイド谷山様に出会いました。景色はもちろん、地元しか知らない話や屋久島小中学時のエビソードなど、とても楽しかったです。そして、自分の携帯でみんなの写真や景色を撮った後、Air Dorpで送っていただき、素晴らしい思い出になりました。二日間本当にありがとうございました
