In July, two mother-daughter pairs (high school students) participated. We were worried about the weather since it had been raining until the day before, but during our two-day, one-night camping tour, we were blessed with great weather and were able to fully enjoy Yakushima! We visited places like the moss-covered trees, Taiko Rock, Wilson's Stump, and Jomon Sugi, and everywhere we went was uncrowded with stunning views, allowing us to take plenty of photos.
This time, we had two guides who accompanied us, staying at the front and back of our group, which gave us a great sense of security. When my daughter's knee started to hurt, they quickly applied tape, and to keep us entertained along the way, they asked us quiz questions. They also provided easy-to-understand explanations about Yakushima's history, as well as the animals and plants that inhabit the area, which was very educational.
In the evening, we enjoyed delicious meals! We were surprised to find that they had prepared juice for the girls and alcohol for us. It was so tasty! I heard that the guides' luggage weighs about 30 kg. That's incredible.
While we enjoyed the alcohol, I learned that some people might not be comfortable with it. I thought it might be good to confirm preferences through a questionnaire in advance to lighten the guides' load.
The next morning, we had breakfast while watching the morning sun shine on Jomon Sugi. It was truly a luxurious moment that I will never forget. Thank you very much to our guides, Shirakami and Yabuta!
7月に母娘(高校生)2組、4人で参加しました。
前日まで雨が降っていて天気が心配でしたが1泊2日のキャンプツアー中は天気に恵まれて屋久島を思う存分楽しむ事が出来ました!苔むす、太鼓岩、ウィルソン株、縄文杉、何処へ行っても空いていて素晴らしい景色を満喫し写真もたくさん撮れました。
今回、2名のガイドさんが同行してくれて列の前後に付いてくれたのでとても安心感がありました。
娘の膝が痛み出した時はすぐにテーピングをしてくれたり道中飽きないようにクイズを出題してくれたり、屋久島の歴史から生息する動物、植物の説明も分かりやすく勉強になりました。
夜は美味しいご飯をいただきました!また娘たちにはジュースを私たちにもアルコールを用意していただいていてビックリしました。美味しかったぁ〜!
聞けばガイドさんの荷物は30kgだとか。凄すぎです。
今回、私たちはアルコールが好きでしたが中には苦手な方もいるとの事でした。ガイドさんの負担を軽くする為にも事前にアンケートで確認してもいいのかなと思いました。
翌朝、朝陽の当たる縄文杉を観ながら朝食。本当に贅沢な時間でした。この感動は一生忘れないです。
ガイドの白水さん、藪田さん、大変お世話になりました。ありがとうございました!

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!

I participated with my younger sister. I work out at the gym twice a week, while my sister doesn't exercise at all, but thanks to the guide's consideration and pacing, we were able to enjoy trekking throughout!
The flight we were scheduled to take the day before was canceled, and the later flights were fully booked... However, we didn't give up and switched to a high-speed ferry, managing to get to Yakushima somehow.
The next day, the weather was clear, as if the rough weather from the previous day was a lie. The forest was cool, sparkling from the rain, and truly beautiful! The guide mentioned that "the forest today is in the best condition," and I completely agreed.
Our party, excluding the guide, consisted of five relatively fit members, but it was helpful that we took regular breaks. During lunch, we were served delicious miso soup.
Not only during breaks but also while walking, the guide shared various stories about Yakushima's history and the flora and fauna of the forest, which kept us engaged and made trekking enjoyable!
Additionally, since everyone in the party was energetic, we were pleasantly surprised to be taken to a beautiful river, which was a thoughtful gesture.
After trekking, we all high-fived and said our goodbyes cheerfully! Not only the weather but also having a wonderful guide and party made it a truly fantastic experience. Thank you very much.
妹と2人で参加しました。わたしは週2でジムで筋トレする程度、妹は普段全く運動をしていないですが、ガイドさんの気遣いやペース配分のおかげで、終始楽しくトレッキングできました!
前日昼すぎに着く予定の飛行機が欠航し、後便も満席… でしたが諦めきれず、高速船に切り替えてなんとか屋久島入りできました。
翌日は前日の荒天がウソのように晴れて、森の中は涼しく、雨上がりでキラキラしていて本当に美しかったです!ガイドさんが「今日の森は最高のコンディション」と仰っていましたが、その通りだと思いました。
ガイドさん除き5人のパーティで、比較的体力のあるメンバーでしたが、こまめに休憩を取っていただけて助かりました。お昼ご飯の時にはお味噌汁も振舞っていただき美味しかったです。
休憩中だけでなく歩きながら、ガイドさんが屋久島の歴史や森の動植物のことなど、色んなことをお話しして教えて下さったので、集中力を切らさず楽しくトレッキングできました!
またパーティが全員元気だったこともあり、サプライズで綺麗な川に連れていっていただけたのも、お心遣いが嬉しかったです。
トレッキング後はメンバーみんなでハイタッチして、爽やかにお別れしました!天気だけでなく、素敵なガイドさんとパーティに恵まれて、本当に素敵な経験になりました。ありがとうございました。

I would have appreciated a message through VELTRA or a phone call the day before to confirm the change in pickup time. The reason is that when I check for any oversights at the end, I search for emails from "VELTRA" to review our previous communications.
I thought the guide was generally good. He had a lot of knowledge and insights about the island's history and the Yakusugi trees, which made him a great guide. If I had to make one suggestion, it would be that his talks were a bit long. Since the return bus time was fixed, it was quite stressful when the conversation extended during times when I wanted to prioritize time. In the end, I made it to the bus, so it was fine.
ピックアップ時間が変更になった旨はVElTRAを通じてメッセージか、若しくは前日に電話で再確認してほしかったです。
何故かと言うと、最後に抜けがないか確認するときに「VELTRA」でメールを検索して、今までのやり取りなどを確認していたからです。
ガイドさんは概ね良かったと思います。
島の歴史、屋久杉に関する知識やうんちくが多く、さすがガイドさんだと思いました。
一つだけ注文をつけるとするなら、少しだけ話しが長いことでした。
帰りのバスの時間が決まっているので、時間を優先したいタイミングで話が長いとかなり焦ります。
結果的にはバスには間に合いましたので、大丈夫でした。
Thank you for using our Yakushima guided tour.

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。

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。

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❣️

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。

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、

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。

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。

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 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。

Although it was slightly rainy, thanks to our guide, it turned out to be an incredibly fun hike. Since it takes a long time and distance, make sure to get plenty of sleep the night before!
若干の雨の中でしたが、ガイドさんのおかげで最高に楽しい登山になりました。
とても長い時間と距離ですので前日はよく寝ましょう!

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。

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。

I participated alone as a woman! On the day of the tour, there were six of us.
Since the Arakawa Trailhead was under construction, we started from Shirakawa Unsuikyo. It was a hard course that took 2 to 3 hours longer than usual, but we all managed to reach the goal safely.
It rained heavily, but at each spot, the rain stopped, and the guide took great photos for us.
Before we started, I was disappointed about the rain, but the vibrant green moss and the slightly misty forest were so beautiful that I think the rain actually allowed us to experience the true essence of Yakushima.
I participated in early June, and because of the high humidity, it got hot quickly once we started walking. A short-sleeve T-shirt was enough under the rainwear. We could refill our water from springs multiple times along the way, so a plastic bottle was sufficient (it's best to go light).
I initially used a folding umbrella, but on the way back, I relied on my trekking poles instead. Especially for beginners, I think it's better to give up on staying dry early and fully enjoy the nature of Yakushima (laughs).
The guide not only had a wealth of knowledge but also helped with pacing and finding great photo spots, so if it's your first time, I definitely recommend going with a guide. (I was so happy that they took such beautiful photos of the heart-shaped Wilson stump!)
Some may be worried about the recent rain, but even as an amateur, I was fine! I believe there are views that can only be seen now, so experiencing the emotion of seeing the estimated 7,000-year-old Yakusugi and the sense of achievement from trekking at the same time is something I highly recommend to anyone who is hesitant.
Thank you to the guide and everyone in Yakushima for a wonderful time.
女性ひとりで参加しました!当日は6名のツアーとなりました。
荒川登山口が工事中とのことで、白川雲水峡からの出発。時間も通常より2〜3時間長くなるハードコースでしたが、無事にみんなでゴールすることができました。
雨がすごかったのですが、各スポットでは雨も上がり、ガイドさんがしっかりと写真をおさめてくれました。
スタート前は雨が残念と思っていましたが、苔の緑がとても綺麗だったり、少し白んだ森が幻想的だったりと、逆に雨の方が屋久島らしさを味わえたのではないかと思います。
6月初旬の参加でしたが、湿度が高いので歩き始めるとすぐに暑くなります。レインウェアの下は半袖Tシャツで十分です。水分も湧き水を途中で複数回くめますので、ペットボトルで十分だと思います(とにかく軽装で行った方が良いです)。
折り畳み傘は最初は使っていましたが、帰りはストックに頼ることになったので使いませんでした。特に登山初心者の方は、濡れるのは早々に諦めて、屋久島の自然を丸ごと楽しんだ方が良いと思います(笑)。
ガイドさんは、さまざまな知識はもちろん、ペース配分、そして写真のスポットまでしっかりサポートしてくれるので、初めてであれば絶対にガイドさんと登った方が良いと思います。(ウィルソン株のハートをあんなに綺麗に撮ってくださって、すごく嬉しかったです!)
先日の雨でご心配される方もいらっしゃるかもしれませんが、素人の私でも大丈夫でした!
今しか見られない景色もあると思いますので、推定7000歳の屋久杉を生で見る感動と、トレッキングとしての達成感を同時に味わえるので、迷ってる方がいれば、ぜひおすすめします。
ガイドさんはじめ、屋久島の皆様、素敵な時間をありがとうございました。

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。

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◎

Last year, it was suddenly canceled due to a heavy rain warning, so this year we made a comeback. About a week ago, there was a once-in-50-years heavy rain that caused quite a bit of damage, so I was worried about how it would turn out, but on the day of the event, there wasn't a single cloud in the sky, and the view from Taiko Rock was amazing.
Also, our guide, Jennifer, was very knowledgeable and taught us various things about plants and insects, making us forget the difficulty of walking. I was also very happy with her consideration in adjusting the walking pace for us. The coffee we had on the way down was delicious.
I made the best memories. Thank you very much!
昨年、大雨警報が出て突然中止になったので、今年リベンジしました。
一週間ほど前に50年に一度という大雨が降り結構な被害が出ていましたので、どうなるかと心配していましたが、当日は雲一つ無い晴天で、太鼓岩からの景色も最高でした。
また、ガイドのジェニファーさんは知識が豊富で、植物のことや虫のことなどいろんなことを教えていただき、歩くつらさも忘れてしまうほどでした。
歩くスピードの調整など、私達への気遣いもとても嬉しかったです。下山途中の珈琲もおいしかったです。
最高の思い出ができました。本当にありがとうございました。
Dear Mr./Ms. Nishiguchi,
Thank you for your kind words. (I'm a bit shy!) The weather was absolutely perfect! Thanks to you, I had a wonderfully enjoyable day. If there is a chance for a third visit to Yakushima, I would definitely look forward to it <3

It was the best day ever. Since it was after the heavy rain on May 18, I was worried about whether the activities would go ahead, but thanks to our guide's arrangements, we were able to enjoy both river kayaking and canyoning.
During the river kayaking, we leisurely paddled upstream on the Anbo River while our guide shared stories about Yakushima's nature, and we had coffee and lunch on a sandbank. In the afternoon's canyoning, we aimed for a waterfall while climbing rocks, swimming in the river, and sometimes jumping into the river, all in a slightly high-water canyon. It was a thrilling adventure that was absolutely exhilarating.
Our guide was really reliable, taking into account not only our physical fitness and athletic ability but also how to enjoy nature. My wife, in particular, is not a strong swimmer and was quite nervous about getting into the water, but by the second half of the canyoning, she was saying, "This is so fun!" while letting herself be carried away by the strong current.
On the way back, we stopped by a hot spring to warm up our chilled bodies and relaxed in the slightly hot water. Finally, we were introduced to a restaurant where we could savor Yakushima cuisine.
Overall, it was a day filled with enjoyment in Yakushima.
最高の一日でした。5/18の豪雨の後でしたので催行が心配でしたが、ガイドさんの計らいによりリバーカヤックもキャニオニングも楽しめました。
リバーカヤックでは、のんびりと安房川を溯上しながら屋久島の自然を語ってもらい、中洲でコーヒー&ランチタイム。午後のキャニオニングでは、少し水量の多い渓谷を岩をよじ登りながら、河を泳ぎながら、そして時には河に飛び込みながら滝を目指しました。スリルに満ちた冒険でドキドキ感が最高です。
そして、今回のガイドさんは私たちの体力や運動能力だけでなく、自然での楽しみ方まで配慮してくれて、本当に頼りになりました。特に家内は水泳は下手で、水に入るのがおっかなびっくりの性格でしたが、キャニオニングの後半では「おもしろーい、たのしいー」と言いながら、大きな流れに身を任せていました。
帰りには冷えた体を温めるために温泉に立ち寄り、ちょっと熱めのお湯でのんびり。最後には、屋久島料理を堪能できる食事処まで紹介して貰いました。
トータルで屋久島を楽しめた一日です。
Dear Inoshishi,
Thank you very much for participating in the River Kayak & Hidden Waterfall Tour the other day! After that heavy rain that made national news... I was worried about whether we could proceed, but your spirits reached Yakushima! The streams in Yakushima can rise quickly, but they return to normal in just a couple of days. They bounce back fast, don't they? (laughs)
When you come back here, I would love to show you a different side of Yakushima. Please let’s enjoy it together! I truly appreciate your kind feedback. Thank you once again!

先日はリバーカヤック&秘境の滝ツアーへのご参加、心よりありがとうございました!
全国ニュースで流れたあの豪雨の後…。催行が心配でしたが、お二人の気持ちが屋久島に届きましたね!
屋久島の沢はあっという間に増水しますが、2~3日したらケロッと元に戻っています。
立ち直りが早いんですね(笑)
またこちらにいらした際は、また違った屋久島をご案内致します。
是非ご一緒させてくださいね。
嬉しいご感想も頂き、本当にありがとうございました。

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!

This is Yabuta from the Yakushima guide tour. Thank you for participating in the Shiratani Unsuikyo + Jomon one-night tour the other day. Although there were concerns about the weather until the day before, we were able to enjoy wonderful views everywhere and fully experience the mountains, which was great. Yakushima has many beautiful places, so please come back to visit again. Thank you very much.
You really worked hard on the long journey over the two days. The weather was favorable both days, making it the best camping experience. You and your energetic mother and daughters were very memorable customers. Additionally, you answered a quiz with a one in a hundred success rate, leaving a mark not only in memory but also in records. Please take this experience and challenge various mountains again! If there’s another opportunity, let’s try a different course in Yakushima! Thank you again for the enjoyable two days.
