白谷雲水峡(太鼓岩まで)トレッキングツアー 5:00または8:00スタートの2つの開始時間から選択可能 by 屋久島の輪
Japan's Machu Picchu
日本のマチュピチュ
Activity Date: 2017/08/29 | Posted on: 2017/09/01

It was the day after the Jomon Sugi tour, so I was quite worried about the strain on my legs, but the guide was quickly going down, and I felt like I was desperately trying to keep up. Also, since we finished an hour late, I was anxious about not making it to my next appointment. However, I was satisfied because we had plenty of time to stay at Taiko Rock.

縄文杉ツアーの次の日だったので、足の負担がかなり心配だったのですが、ガイドさんがサッサッと降りて行くので必死に追いかける感じでした。
また終了時間が1時間押したので、次の予定に間に合わないかとハラハラしました。
でも太鼓岩の滞在時間はたっぷり取れたので満足です。

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
Greedy Course
よくばりコース
Activity Date: 2017/08/26 | Posted on: 2017/08/28

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

Activity Date: 2017/08/25 | Posted on: 2017/08/26

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。

Shiratani Unsuikyo, Taiko Rock Round Trip Course
白谷雲水峡、太鼓岩往復コース
Activity Date: 2017/08/18 | Posted on: 2017/08/22

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。

The moving Taiko Rock
感動の太鼓岩
Activity Date: 2017/08/18 | Posted on: 2017/08/19

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!!

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
Highly recommended for those with good stamina!
体力のある人には超オススメ!
Activity Date: 2017/08/12 | Posted on: 2017/08/14

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^^*

Jomon Sugi Tour
縄文杉ツアー
Activity Date: 2017/08/11 | Posted on: 2017/08/14

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。

It was amazing.

Activity Date: 2017/08/11 | Posted on: 2017/08/13

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!^^

You should definitely go to Taiko Rock!
太鼓岩まで行くべし!
Activity Date: 2017/07/26 | Posted on: 2017/07/27

I participated alone, but I climbed with three other participants and the guide. There were many sights along the way, so I never got bored while climbing. During the hike, I saw deer, and I was lucky to spot a Japanese macaque on the way to Shiratani Unsuikyo. The view from Taiko Rock was amazing! Although it's often cloudy, the last part is a bit steep, so I definitely recommend climbing all the way to Taiko Rock! I was picked up at 8:00 and dropped off at the hotel at 15:30, and I had a relaxing and enjoyable time. I want to go again!

1人で参加しましたが、他の参加者とガイドさんと4人で登りました。道中見所がたくさんあって、登るのに飽きずに登れました。登山中、鹿もいましたし、白谷雲水峡に行く途中にはヤクザルもみれてラッキーでした。太鼓岩からの眺めは最高でした!雲がかかってることも多いそうですが、最後少し険しいぐらいなので、ぜひ太鼓岩まで登って欲しいです!8時にピックアップしてもらって、15:30にホテルに送ってもらって、ゆっくり楽しませて頂きました。また行きたいです!

To Takachiho Iwa on the early morning tour.
早朝ツアーで太鼓岩まで
Activity Date: 2017/07/25 | Posted on: 2017/07/27

I read in reviews from those who experienced it that you can enjoy the tranquility of the forest in the early morning, so I requested the early morning tour. We departed from the hotel at 5 AM, had our lunch at the Shiratani Unsuikyo parking lot, and then went trekking. In the Forest of Mononoke, they set up a kotodama for us to take photos, and they provided detailed explanations about the forest's ecology and plants, making it a fun climb up to Taiko Rock. We took a lot of photos and were very satisfied. Climbing early allows you to enjoy Taiko Rock without crowds, so you can take photos without waiting, which is great.

体験された方の口コミから、早朝の方が森の静けさを独占出来るとあったので早朝ツアーを希望しました。朝5時にホテルを出発、白谷雲水峡の駐車場でお弁当を食べてからトレッキング。もののけの森ではコトダマをセットして撮影させてくれたり、森の生態や植物の説明まで詳しく案内して頂いて、楽しく太鼓岩まで登れました。写真もたくさん撮ってもらって大満足でした。早い時間に登ると太鼓岩も空いていて、写真も待たずに撮れるから良いですよ。

Thanks to our veteran guide, we had a wonderful day. It was a tight schedule, so I was worried about whether we could walk the whole way, but we made it to Jomon Sugi safely. If it had just been us, we might have given up along the way. If the opportunity arises, I would definitely like to walk again.

ベテランのガイドさんのおかげで、楽しい一日を過ごしました。厳しいスケジュールだったので、全部歩けるか不安でしたが、無事、縄文杉まで行けました。私たちだけでは、途中で諦めていたかもしれません。
機会があれば、是非また、歩きたいです。

I signed up at the last minute, but there were two other participants, and we had a great time climbing together. They took care to adjust the pace according to our physical condition, and we climbed to Taiko Rock while enjoying various explanations, capturing many wonderful photos! It was reassuring to be guided by a veteran. After checking if we still had the energy, they took us to a special spot that was particularly beautiful. It seemed to be just before the busy summer season, so we really enjoyed it and had a fantastic trip.

ギリギリに申し込んだのですが、お一人の参加の方が他に2人いて、楽しく登れました。体調に合わせてペースなど配慮していただき、ゆっくり色々解説しながら太鼓岩まで登り、素敵な写真もたくさん取れました❗️ベテランの方にガイドしていただいたので、安心でした。体力が残っていればと聞いてくださった後に連れて行ってもらった、とっておきの場所が特に素敵でした。今はまだ夏の繁忙期より少し前だったようで、堪能でき本当に良い旅となりました。

Activity Date: 2017/05/08 | Posted on: 2017/07/18

I apologize for the late post.

As a woman in my 30s participating alone, I can say that this was an absolutely wonderful tour. It was a trekking experience with our guide and six participants, including a couple and sisters, and we were blessed with great weather, making it a memorable experience!

About ten years ago, I had a traumatic experience on Mount Fuji and vowed never to go near a mountain again. I truly hadn't approached one since, but when the opportunity to visit Yakushima came up, I decided to face my trauma and participate, albeit with some apprehension. This experience made me realize the importance of having a good guide.

The pacing, explanations about the plants, and various considerations were truly outstanding. While it would be a lie to say I didn't get tired at all, the breaks and encouragement (like jokes) at just the right moments were greatly appreciated. Of course, the greatness of Jomon Sugi was impressive, but I also enjoyed the natural scenery along the way and was able to capture great photos at various spots while having fun!

Reflecting on my unforgettable experience from ten years ago on Mount Fuji, I remember it being tough, with a large group (around 20 people?) and feeling left behind, which still lingers in my mind. Because of that, I had distanced myself from mountains, and I now feel that I have truly missed out. This experience reinforced the importance of choosing the right tour company.

This time, I felt that I would like to go again, which was very positive. I look forward to the next opportunity!

投稿が遅くなってしまいました。

30代1人女性での参加でしたが結論から言うと、とても素晴らしいツアーでした。
ガイドさん、参加者の姉妹とご夫婦の6名でのトレッキングでしたがガイドさんにも参加者にもお天気にも恵まれ、最高の思い出となりました!

約10年前に富士山のトラウマから、二度と山には近づかないと誓い
本当に近づいていませんでしたが今回屋久島へ行くことになりせっかくなので・・とトラウマと戦いながら&身構えながらの参加でしたが、ガイドさんの大切さをあらためて感じました。

ペース配分や植物の説明にもろもろの気遣いなど本当に素晴らしいものでした。
全然疲れなかったといえば嘘になりますが、疲れたなと思ったタイミングでの休憩・励まし(ジョークなど)、先読みして気遣っていただいている感じがとてもありがたかったです。
縄文杉の偉大さはもちろんですが、
行く途中の自然も楽しみながら写真スポットはしっかり抑えて楽しく進むことができました!

富士山の忘れもしない10年前を振り返ると、しんどい・大人数(20人くらい?)・置いてけぼり、のようなトラウマがあり今も強く残っているのですが、そのせいで山を離れていたこともあったので本当に今まで損をしていたなという気持ちとツアーの会社選びは大事だと今回感じました。

今回、「もう一回行きたい」と思えたこと、とても良かったです。
また是非宜しくお願いします。

I suddenly decided to take a solo trip to Yakushima. I wanted to see Jomon Sugi, but I was worried about what might happen along the way if I was alone, so I requested a guide. Since the guests were just a couple staying in Miyano-ura and me staying in Awa, I think we were able to communicate in a cozy atmosphere. Also, our guide, Nakaji-san, was a veteran and very reliable, so I was glad I could participate without feeling isolated. It seems that the pickup times differ by 30 minutes between Miyano-ura and Awa, so as various sites suggest, if you find early mornings tough, I recommend staying in Awa.

I usually run, so I wasn't worried about walking for a long time, but the tramway path was indeed difficult to walk on, and I ended up looking at my feet to avoid spraining my ankle (which is understandable). Additionally, it seems there was an emergency transport this time, and the tram was dispatched. I was moved to see that a tram actually runs on that tramway, which is something so obvious yet still impressive (I apologize for the blurry photo).

Next time, I definitely want to enjoy the night and morning at Jomon Sugi with an overnight stay.

急遽思い立っての屋久島一人旅。縄文杉は見たいけれど、ひとりでは途中で何かあった時が心配だな、と思いガイドをお願いしました。
ゲストは宮之浦宿泊のご夫婦と安房宿泊の私だけだったのでこじんまりとコミュニケーションが取れたと思います。また、ガイドの中路さんはベテランでとても頼もしく、一人でも疎外感を感じずに参加できたのでよかったです。宮之浦と安房ではピックアップ時刻が30分違うようで、いろんなサイトでも案内されている通り、朝早いのがつらい方は安房宿泊をお薦めします。
普段から走っているので長時間の歩きは心配していませんでしたが、やはりトロッコ道が歩きづらく捻挫を恐れて足元ばかりをみて歩くことになってしまいました(これは仕方ないですね)。また、今回、救急搬送があったようでトロッコが出動していました。あのトロッコ道を本当にトロッコが走るのだ、と当然のことなのに感動しました(写真がボケていて申し訳ありません)。
次回は是非1泊で縄文杉の夜と朝を楽しみたいと思います。

The organizers adjusted to the pace of the participants and made sure we had time to take photos, which allowed us to enjoy the experience. I was relieved to make it in time for the last bus.

I was worried about the weather and my physical condition, but I managed to do a proper warm-up and took on the challenge. While I was able to maintain my stamina, I did twist my ankle a bit, possibly due to my usual lack of exercise.

There were seven participants this time. One person injured their foot and had to wait at a rest point (they missed seeing Jomon Sugi, but they were able to visit Shiratani Unsuikyo), and another person participated until the end despite being in pain. Despite these challenges, we adhered to the final deadline and completed the course in about 12 hours and 30 minutes (which was an hour later than usual). This course is known to be hard, to the point that some guides refuse to take it, and one guide reportedly suffered a stress fracture due to doing this route repeatedly.

However, despite the busy schedule, the satisfaction of being able to see the highlights of Yakushima's trekking in one day was immense.

This time, there were discrepancies between the tourists and the guides regarding preparations, which caused some confusion about what to bring. We prioritized decisions based on the situation on-site, which turned out well (though there were some gaps in explanations). There were similar issues with other items needed (it seems that what's necessary can vary by season), and I felt a strong desire for more standardized guidelines.

天気と自分の体力が心配でしたが、なんとかwしっかりと準備運動して挑みましたが、体力は何とか持っても、日ごろの運動不足がたたってか、足を少しひねることがありました。

今回は7名が参加していました。一人は足を痛め途中休憩ポイントで待機(縄文杉はみれませんでしたが、白谷雲水峡OK)、一人は体を痛めながらも最後まで参加。そんなこともありましたが、最終のデッドラインを守って、約12時間30分の行程(通常より1時間遅い)で終了。
このコースは、ハードだから元から受けないガイドさんやこれが恐らくこれが原因で疲労骨折したガイドさん(連日この内容だった為)がいるほどのものらしいです。

ただ、忙しい内容ではありますが、屋久島のトレッキングの見どころ?が一日で見て周れる満足感は一入でした。

今回、観光の方とガイドの方の言い分に相違があり、持ち物の準備で困ることもありましたが、現場優先で決断。よかったです(説明に過不足あり)。他の準備物にもそのようなことがあり(時期によって、必要・不必要があるそうですが)、しっかりと統一されたものがほしいと感じました。

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
I was a beginner, but I did my best.
初心者だけど頑張れました。

This is a challenging course that is originally meant to be completed over two days, but we did it in one. It requires not only physical strength but also the mental fortitude to not give up. There were times when I felt like I might break. However, the sense of accomplishment and emotion was multiplied many times over. Thanks to the guide's consideration and pacing, I also have fond memories of being unable to move for two days due to muscle soreness and fatigue.

本来は2日かけるコースを1日でまわるため厳しいコースです。体力だけでなく、諦めない気力も必要だと思います。私も何度か心が折れそうに。でもその分達成感と感動は何倍にもなります。ガイドさんの心配り・ペース配分のおかげもありました。2日は筋肉痛と疲労で動けなくなったのもいい思い出です。

I wasn't very confident in my physical strength, so I chose the course to Taiko Rock, but it wasn't too tough, and the guide's explanations and stories were interesting, making for a wonderful day. The guide's love for moss was amazing! I think they provided explanations that made the course even more enjoyable, including stories from "Princess Mononoke." This time the weather was perfect, but I would like to see the lush forest as well, so I want to go again. Thank you very much!

あまり体力に自信がなかったので太鼓岩までのコースにしましたが、辛くもなく、ガイドさんの説明やお話しも面白く、とても良い1日になりました。
ガイドさんの苔に対する愛情がすごかった^ ^
もののけ姫のお話しと合わせて紹介してくれたり、よりコースを楽しめる説明をしてくれたと思います。
今回は晴天で最高でしたが、潤った森も見てみたいのでまた行きたいです。
ありがとうございました★

I visited many famous spots, such as the banyan trees and waterfalls. I was surprised to see many deer and monkeys along the roadside on the Western Forest Road. The abundance of nature was very healing. I would like to participate again when I visit Yakushima.

ガジュマルや滝など多くの名所を見て回りました。西部林道では、鹿や猿が道端にたくさんいて驚きました。自然が多くて癒されました。また屋久島に行った時には参加したいです。

It was my first time tracking, but I was able to climb without any issues.

The breathtaking view at the top...!!!!
I was truly moved.
I highly recommend the set to Taiko Rock.

初めてのトラッキングでしたが、
問題なく登れました。

登りきった先の超絶景…!!!!
本当に感動です。
太鼓岩までのセットを強くお勧めします。

I thought the Jomon Sugi would be too physically demanding, so I chose this course. The guide was a cheerful middle-aged veteran man. He was knowledgeable about plants and took photos for us at various spots, which was enjoyable. We were also able to take great photos with the camera we brought!

縄文杉は体力的にムリかなと思って、このコースを選びました。ガイドさんは、愉快な中年ベテラン男性。植物にも詳しく、随所で写真も撮って頂き、楽しかったです。双方持参したこだまでいい写真も撮れました!

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
Very satisfied! (For those with stamina)
大満足!(体力のある方向け)
Activity Date: 2017/05/03 | Posted on: 2017/05/26

I am a 30-year-old woman with no regular exercise habits, and I climb low mountains about once every three months.

This was a two-night, three-day whirlwind tour, and I signed up for this tour because I thought, "Since we're here, we want to see both Yakushima and Shiratani Unsuikyo!" On the day of the tour, it rained on and off all day... so rain gear is essential. I thought having a raincoat and a folding umbrella would be very convenient. On the other hand, the vibrant green of the moss was incredibly beautiful.

Since we were visiting two places in one day, the first half (from Shiratani Unsuikyo to Taiko Rock) felt particularly fast-paced.

I had heard that if you are just going to see Jomon Sugi, you don't need a guide, but I was able to enjoy Yakushima even more by listening to the guide's explanations about each tree and the island's formation!

In areas around Taiko Rock and Jomon Sugi where the paths become steep, it's much easier to climb with light gear, leaving everything except valuables behind. For those who are hesitant to leave their bags, I think it would be good to bring a large backpack for your belongings and a waist pouch for your valuables.

I was very satisfied with the wonderful scenery and the knowledgeable guide. This tour is recommended for those who are confident in their physical fitness, as you will be walking from morning until evening.

普段の運動習慣はなく、低山に三ヶ月に一回登るか登らないかという30歳女です。

二泊三日の弾丸ツアーとなり、『せっかくなので屋久島と白谷雲水峡の両方みたいよね!』ということで本ツアーに申し込みしました。当日は一日中雨が降ったり止んだりで…雨具は必須です。カッパと折り畳み傘があると便利だなと思いました。その代わり苔の緑が生き生きとしていてとても綺麗でした。

1日で二つ回る、ということもあり、前半(白谷雲水峡〜太鼓岩まで)は特にかなりのハイペースに感じました。

縄文杉だけをみに行くのであれば、ガイドさんをつけなくても良い、とも聞いていたのですが、やはりガイドさんからそれぞれの木の説明や屋久島の成り立ちについての話を聞くことができ、屋久島をより楽しむことができました!

太鼓岩周辺や縄文杉周辺など道が険しくなるあたりでは、貴重品以外は置いて軽装で登った方がぐっと楽になりますので、荷物を置いて行くことに抵抗のある方は、荷物を入れる大きなリュックの他に貴重品を入れるウエストポーチなどを持っていけば良いかと思います。

素晴らしい景色と的確なガイドに大満足でした。朝から夕方まで歩きっぱなしになりますので、体力に自信のある方にはおすすめのツアーです。

I was planning my schedule for the weekend, Friday to Sunday, while participating from Fukuoka. I really wanted to visit these two places, so I found a tour that goes to Jomon Sugi on Saturday and Shiratani on half of Sunday. However, since my flight back to Fukuoka is at 11:00, I thought it would be impossible to do a tour on the third day, and I was considering returning via Kagoshima. While searching, I found this site. I actually visited both places and was able to enjoy satisfying trekking.

The departure was from Shiratani Hiroba. The path was muddy due to the rain, but the moss in the mossy forest was beautifully fresh. When I reached the trolley road, the rain had stopped, and the route was smooth and not crowded, allowing us to reach Jomon Sugi. The guide explained that if we started from the Arakawa trailhead, we would have to march while stepping on the railway ties, which would be crowded, so we climbed from here instead. However, I regret that after parting ways with the guide and descending to Arakawa, there was a discrepancy in the schedule and bus times, causing us to return to the hotel late.

Next, I would like to aim for a day trip to Mount Kuju.

福岡からの参加で週末の金土日を利用して予定を考えていました。この2ヶ所を是非行きたいので土曜日を縄文杉、日曜日の半分を白谷というツアーは見つけていたのですが、福岡の帰りの飛行機が11:00発なので3日目のツアーは無理と考え鹿児島経由で帰ろうか?など探していたところ、こちらのサイトで見つけました。実際に2つを行き、満足できるトレッキングが出来ました。
出発は白谷広場からでした。雨模様の足元がぬかるむ道でしたが、苔むす森を通った時の苔はみずみずしい美しさがありました。トロッコ道に出たときは雨も上がり、順路もスムーズで混んでなく、縄文杉までたど着きました。荒川登山口からの歩きだと線路の枕木を踏みながらの行進になるので、また混みあうのでこちらから登ったとガイドさんが説明してくれました。ただ、帰りをガイドさんと別れて荒川口に下りたので行程時間やバス時間にズレが出てホテルに帰るのが遅れてしまった点は反省でした。
次は日帰り宮之浦岳登山を目指したいと思っています。

It was rainy and cold all day, but the guide really lifted the atmosphere, so I was able to walk without getting too tired. I was unsure about visiting two places at the same time, but for those short on time, I recommend this course.

一日中雨で寒い中ガイドの方が雰囲気を盛りあげてくれたので、あまり疲れる事なく歩けました。二ヶ所同時に行くのはどうかと思いましたが、時間のない方はこのコースがお勧めです。

I had a guide from Yakushima who shared many stories about the unique plants and nature of Yakushima while we took lots of photos. It was an experience that you definitely can't have in the city. Although the course was quite challenging, the magnificent views afterward made me forget everything else. I would love to request this guide again when I visit Yakushima next time. Thank you very much.

屋久島出身のガイドさんで、沢山の屋久島ならではの草木や自然のお話、沢山聞きながら写真も撮りながら、都会では絶対に味わえない経験を見て感じられました。とてもきついコースではありましたが、その後の壮大な景色は全てを忘れさせてくれます。又是非屋久島に来た際にはお願いしたいと思います。ありがとうございました。

It was cloudy, but it didn't rain, and the forest was incredibly beautiful. The timing was great, and I was able to trek comfortably. The pace was just right, and the guide taught us various things, which was interesting. As a Studio Ghibli fan, there were many exciting points, and it was the best experience. I'm really glad I went to see the unique forest scenery. I definitely want to go again.

曇りだったけど雨は降らず、森はすごく綺麗だった。
時間帯も良く、快適にトレッキングできました。
ペースもちょうど良く、ガイドさんも色々教えてくれて、面白かった。ジブリファンとしては高まるポイントが多々あって最高でした。中々味わえない森の風景で本当に行って良かった。必ずまた行きたい。

The weather was bad, and my husband's foot condition worsened, so in the end, it turned into a tour focused solely on Jomon Sugi, but it was a very fulfilling experience. This is all thanks to our guide. Although we mentioned that we had some mountain climbing experience, our knowledge was that of beginners, so the guide taught us how to use trekking poles, and since it was just the two of us, they took many memorable photos at beautiful spots. Above all, the various stories shared were very interesting. I truly believe it was a wonderful tour. The next day, we went to Kumsoikyo on our own, and we were able to take our time on the round trip to Taiko Rock, which I thought was great in its own way. The lunch we had at Shiosai was also delicious.

天候も悪かったのですが、一緒に行った主人の足の具合が悪くなり、結局は縄文杉だけのツアーになってしまったのですが、とても充実したツアーとなりました。これもひとえにガイドさんのおかげです。私たちは山登りの経験があるといったものの、初心者の知識だったので、ストックの使い方などを教えてくださったり、私たちだけだったのもあるかもしれませんが、本当に記念に残るようなスポットで写真をたくさん撮ってくださったり、何より色々なお話が面白かったです。とてもよいツアーだったと心から思います。翌日の雲水峡に自分たちで行きましたが、太鼓岩の往復をじっくりできて、これはこれでよかったと思いました。お昼に寄った潮騒も美味しかったです。
