Majestic nature!
Scenery you don't usually see!
It was the best!
We walked non-stop from early morning until evening, and it was much more strenuous than I expected—definitely felt more like a serious hike than a leisurely trek!
I had knee pain, which was quite challenging for me!
I absolutely recommend it for healthy and younger people!
It became a lifelong memory for both of us!
壮大な自然!
普段見れない景色!
最高でした!
朝早くから、夕方まで歩きっぱなし思ったよりアップダウンが激しくてのんびりトレッキングって感じでは無く、ガッツリ登山て感じでした!
私は膝が悪かったので、膝の痛みが大変でした!
健康な方、若い人たちには絶対おススメです!
夫婦共に一生の思い出になりました!

I signed up for a tour of Jomon Sugi and Shiratani Unsuikyo. Unfortunately, the tour coincided with a typhoon. Normally, I can handle about 30 km on flat ground without any issues, but the trek to Jomon Sugi involved climbing, and I caused some trouble for the guide and my fellow tour members. On the way back, I really felt like I was at the very end, but as soon as I entered the trolley path, I regained my energy and was able to walk all the way to the end. However, I didn't have enough stamina left to participate in the Shiratani tour the next day, so I had to cancel. That's why I gave it four stars, and I thought it would have been nice to have a tour with a day in between to rest.
縄文杉と白谷雲水峡のツアーに申し込みました
丁度、台風が来ていたときにツアーが当たってしまいました
普段、平地なら30km位、全然、平気なのですが縄文杉は途中から登山で、ガイドの方、同じツアーの方々にご迷惑をおかけしました
帰りは本当に最後のパティーになってしまいましたがトロッコ道に入ったとたん元気になり、最後まで歩き通せました
しかし、次の日の白谷には参加できるほど体力が残っていなかったのでキャンセルしましたので星4つとさせていただき、中1日、休めるツアーがあれば、よかったなと思いました
Dear Kyo,
I apologize for the delayed response. Thank you very much for participating in the Jomon Sugi 1-day + Shiratani Unsuikyo (2 days) / Shiratani Unsuikyo 1-day tour.
I'm glad to hear that you were able to reach the goal at Jomon Sugi. It's unfortunate about Shiratani Unsuikyo.
If you have some flexibility in your schedule, we will work on making improvements, such as allowing for a rest day in between.
Please come back to take on Shiratani Unsuikyo again.
Thank you for your continued support.

On the first day, I walked a round trip of 22 kilometers (about 42,000 steps) to Jomon Sugi! It was my personal best record for a day! The second day was at Shiratani Unsuikyo, but it rained all day, and even though the distance was only 5 kilometers, it was really tough! The tour guide on the first day, Mr. Kyoku, was truly wonderful; he was knowledgeable and very considerate, and I really appreciated it! The guide for both days, Mr. Uranishi, was very entertaining, and everyone laughed so much during the tour that we were more excited than when we saw Yakusugi! Also, we were with the same group for both days, and everyone was really nice, making for a very comfortable time!
一日目縄文杉ツアー、往復22キロ(約4万2千歩)を徒歩しました!自分の中に一日の最高記録でした!2日目は白谷雲水峡でしたが、一日雨で、5キロしかない距離でもすごく大変でした!一日目のツアーガイドさん「局」さんは大変素晴らしい方でした、知識豊富でお気遣いがよくて本当に感謝しました!2日間のガイドさんは浦西さん、大変面白い方でして、ツアー中に皆さんは笑い過ぎで、屋久(すぎ)杉を見るより盛り上がりました!そして、2日間ツアーとも同じ仲間でしたが皆様はとても良い方々でしたが、本当に快適な時間を過ごしていました!

Thank you very much for participating in the Jomon Sugi 1-day + Shiratani Unsuikyo (2 days) / Shiratani Unsuikyo 1-day tour.
The guide for Jomon Sugi is a popular guide from Yakushima, and while Urasaki is not from Yakushima, he is a veteran with over 20 years of guiding experience, so the combination of guides for the two days was excellent.
Yakushima has other courses besides Jomon Sugi and Shiratani Unsuikyo, so we sincerely look forward to your next visit to the island.

I was very worried about whether I could walk all the way on my first trekking experience, but I was able to finish it very enjoyably. The guide was especially wonderful. We stopped at various points, and the guide explained the plants and took photos, which provided a nice break and change of pace. Additionally, while walking, the guide asked various quizzes about Yakushima, which made it clear that they were trying to entertain the guests, and that was really great. If I have the chance to come to Yakushima again, I would like to request the same guide.
初めてのトレッキングで最後まで歩けるかとても心配でしたが、とても楽しく終えることができました。
特にガイドさんが素晴らしかったです。
途中途中で止まって、植物の説明をしてくれたり写真を撮ったりしてくれたので、休憩がてらの気分転換になりました。
また、歩いている時も色んな屋久島クイズを出してくれたりして、お客さんを楽しませようという気持ちが感じられてとても良かったです。
もし、また屋久島に来る機会があれば同じガイドさんにお願いしたいです。

Although it wasn't mentioned in the tour schedule, the round trip from the trailhead to Jomon Sugi is 22 km, which is about 40,000 steps on my pedometer. The guide encouraged us by saying that 99% of people can go and return safely. Along the way, they explained various things about Yakushima's plants and animals, as well as the history of Yakusugi, and we managed to complete the hike while drinking cold stream water. There were four other participants, which I think helped us all finish successfully. Renting shoes, rainwear, and a backpack was definitely the right choice. The shoes were sturdy trekking shoes and fit almost perfectly, and the rainwear was a separate top and bottom, which I think was ideal for walking in the rain. Regarding infection prevention, masks were required on the shuttle bus to the trailhead, and only one person could sit in a two-person seat. During the hike, we removed our masks and maintained some distance while walking. In this tour, I was also glad to see various things besides Yakusugi, such as moss and oddly shaped trees.
ツアースケジュールには記載されていませんでしたが、登山口から縄文杉までの往復で歩く距離は22km、歩数計で約4万歩でした。ガイドさんは99%の人はちゃんと行って帰れますと励ましてくれ、途中、屋久島の植物や動物、屋久杉の歴史についていろいろと説明してくれたり、冷たい沢の水を飲んだりしながら、何とか完歩できました。他に4人の参加メンバーもいたので、完遂できたと思います。今回、シューズ・レインウェア・リュックをレンタルして正解でした。シューズはしっかりとしたトレッキングシューズで、サイズもほぼぴピッタリりでしたし、レインウェアは上下セパレート型で雨の中を歩くのに最適だったと思います。感染予防についてですが、登山口までのシャトルバス内はマスクを着用し、2人がけの席には1人しか座れません。登山中はマスクをはずして、少し間隔を空けて歩きます。今回のツアーでは屋久杉以外にもコケや奇妙な形の木などがいろいろ見れて良かったです。
Dear Mio Teru Papa,
I apologize for the delayed response. Thank you very much for participating in the Jomon Sugi tour.
It seems you traveled alone this time, but walking the round trip of 22 km with other guests and the guide will surely become a lifelong memory. Currently, due to infection control measures, things are not as they used to be, but once the COVID-19 situation settles down, please come back to Yakushima again.
We look forward to your continued support.

The tour guide provided an incredibly informative experience, allowing us to enjoy the Yakusugi trekking much more than we would have on our own. Additionally, this tour was great because it offered direct transportation from the hotel in the Miyanoura area to the trailhead without the need for transfers, which was very convenient.
ツアーガイドの方のガイドがとても内容の濃いもので、個人でトレッキングするより数倍も屋久杉トレッキングを楽しめました。
また、このツアーは他のツアーと比較してホテル(宮之浦地区)から登山口まで乗り換えする必要なく直通で送迎してくれたのが良かったです。

The rental gear was brought to the hotel the day before, and I chose a pair of hiking boots that fit well. I was picked up at the hotel at 5 AM. After eating a rice ball for breakfast, I took a public bus to the trailhead, and we started trekking at 6:45. The trolley path was flat, and I made smooth progress while occasionally enjoying the scenery.
The latter part, which involved climbing rocky areas, was quite tough. I took breaks roughly every hour, sweating a lot while using my trekking poles. Approaching my sixties, I found it challenging. At one point, I honestly considered saying, "I'll wait here." The others were younger or more experienced hikers, but everyone, including the guide, was kind and checked on me, and I somehow managed to reach Jomon Sugi.
On the way back, while being careful with my footing, I felt a bit more relaxed since it was downhill. I was happy to achieve my goal in 10 hours. However, considering the inconvenience to others, I enjoyed the Shiratani Unsuikyo more the next day, where I could walk at my own pace, take photos, and rest.
For those confident in their physical fitness, I think the tour with the guide is excellent, as you can hear tips on walking and various experiences shared.
前日ホテルにレンタル用品を持ってきてくれ、サイズの合った登山靴をチョイス。
午前5時ホテルにお迎え。
朝食おにぎりを食べ公共バスで登山口へ、6:45トレッキングスタート。
トロッコ道は平坦で景色を時々眺めながらスムーズに進みました。
後半の上り岩場はかなりきつく、1時間弱に1回のペースで休憩を入れ、ストックを使いながら汗をたっぷりかきました。
還暦前、キビシイと思いながらのチャレンジ。私1人遅いペースで、正直途中、「ここで待ってます。」と言おうかとも考えました。他は若い方や歩き慣れた方で、ガイドさんはじめ皆さん優しく、振り向いてもらったり、気にかけてもらいながら何とか縄文杉に辿り着きました。
復路は足元は気をつけながらも、下りなので多少の余裕も出ました。
10時間、目標達成は嬉しかったです。
ただ他の方へのご迷惑を考えると、翌日自分のペースで歩き写真を撮ったり休憩できたりした、白谷雲水峡の方が楽しみながら行けました。
体力に自信のある方なら、ガイドさんのコースでの説明も歩き方のコツ、いろんな体験談も聞けて、とてもいいツアーだと思います。
Dear Fumino,
I apologize for the late reply, and thank you very much for participating in the Jomon Sugi tour.
First of all, I'm glad to hear that you reached the goal safely without any injuries.
Many customers have mentioned that they felt like giving up several times, but they were able to complete the walk thanks to their companions and everyone's encouragement. However, having good physical strength allows for a more comfortable experience, so even though you are approaching your sixties, please focus on building your stamina to walk in Yakushima and other mountains.
Thank you for your continued support.

Many customers visit Yakushima for a two-night, three-day stay, and there are many who wish to visit both Jomon Sugi and Shiratani Unsuikyo (Taiko Rock) in one day, which is why we created this tour.

I participated in August 2020. I usually engage in sports, but it was my first time hiking, and I was a bit worried about the 22-kilometer round trip. However, once I started, the trolley path was easy to walk and gentle, and the mountain trail to Jomon Sugi was manageable with breaks, so I didn't feel any difficulty at all.
令和2年8月に参加しました。
普段からスポーツをしておりますが、登山は初めてですし往復22キロの山道ということで少し心配でした。
参加してみると、トロッコ道は歩きやすくて緩やかですし、縄文杉までの山道も休憩を入れながらだったので、辛い感じは全くありませんでした。

On the first day, the guide for Jomon Sugi was different from the one for Shiratani Unsuikyo on the second day. The first day was more of a silent hiking type, and the pace was very fast, making it tough to keep up, but the guide was attentive to our physical condition at key points. On the second day, there was a lot of talking, and we stopped frequently, resulting in a difference in walking pace. The guides had completely opposite styles, so I think preferences will vary. I was more tired from Jomon Sugi than I had imagined.
1日目の縄文杉と2日目の白谷雲水峡とガイドさんが違いました。1日目は黙々と登山するタイプで歩く速さもすごく早く、着いて行くのに大変でしたが、要所要所で体調の気にかけてくれました。2日目は話が多くて途中止まり止まりで歩くペースに差がありました。タイプが正反対のガイドさんでどちらが好みかは分かれると思います。想像以上に縄文杉の方は疲れました。

I participated in a tour during the summer vacation in August.
The weather was clear for both days! I thought we were lucky with the weather, but according to our guide, the clouds over Shiratani Unsuikyo after the rain are the most beautiful.
We traveled for about two hours in total by shuttle and bus, but since it was on mountain roads, I regretted not taking motion sickness medication...
The Jomon Sugi course involved a route of trolley path → mountain path → Jomon Sugi, but the trolley path was too long and it was hell. There were wooden boards on the rails that we had to walk on, but some boards were floating or missing, and if I didn't lift my knees properly, my feet would get caught. It was also a difficult path to use trekking poles.
The mountain path was very enjoyable, but I struggled with the endless stairs and the steep slope of Hell's Third Street (as named by the guide).
It was a very fun tour, but the pace was fast, making it difficult to take pictures or enjoy the scenery thoroughly.
For infection prevention measures, we were instructed to wear masks while on the bus.
If you can complete the Jomon Sugi course on the first day, you can definitely clear the Shiratani Unsuikyo!
Even beginners can challenge this course if they prepare properly with trekking shoes, a backpack, snacks, and water.
Please be careful of muscle soreness. Your calves will get tight, so I recommend getting your body in shape before participating.
8月の夏休みを利用して、ツアーに参加しました。
天候は2日とも快晴!天気に恵まれたと思っていましたが、ガイドさんいわく、雨上がりの雲水峡が1番きれいとのこと。
送迎+バスでトータル2時間くらい移動しましたが、山道だったため、酔い止めを飲んでおけばよかったと後悔しました…
縄文杉コースは、トロッコ道→山道→縄文杉という道のりでしたが、トロッコ道が長すぎて、地獄でした。レールの上に木の板があって、その上を歩くのですが、板が浮いていたり、無いとこもあり、膝をしっかりあげないと足がひっかかりました。ストックも使いづらい道でした。
山道は道中とても楽しかったですが、階段をひたすら上がったり、斜面が急な地獄の3丁目(ガイドさん命名)に苦戦しました。
とても楽しいツアーでしたが、進むペースが早くてじっくり写真を撮ったり景色をみることは難しかったです。
感染対策は、乗車中はマスクをする、ことを案内されてました。
初日の縄文杉コースをクリアできたら、白谷雲水峡は確実にクリアできます!
初心者でもトレッキングシューズやリュック、行動食、お水など装備をしっかり整えれば挑戦できるコースでした。
筋肉痛には気をつけてください。ふくらはぎがパンパンになるので、体調を整えて、参加されることをお勧めします。

I was able to do both in one day. It seems to be quite a challenging tour, and it appears that the guide doesn't often conduct this tour.
Fortunately, everyone in the group was able to walk until the end, but I was nervous about not holding everyone back (especially since there was a final bus time...).
The guide was knowledgeable and answered all our questions. The weather was good, and it was sunny at Taiko Rock. In the second half, it was cloudy, which helped keep it from being too hot, and I was very satisfied.
However, the reason I gave it four stars instead of five is that at the time of departure, we were worried when the pickup didn't arrive for over 10 minutes. When I called, I finally got through on the third try, and all I was told was "just wait," resulting in us waiting about 20 minutes.
By the time we arrived at the entrance and were having breakfast, they apologized.
I understand that island time is a thing to some extent, but if there are delays, it would be helpful to receive a notification early on about how long we might have to wait. Since it was very early in the morning, there were no other means to confirm (or contact) anyone, which made me anxious. Since we had specifically requested the tour, I deducted one star.
1日で、どちらも行っていただきました。
やはり大変なツアーらしく、なかなかガイドさんもそのツアーをされないらしいツアー。
幸い、参加したメンバーみんな元気に最後まで歩けましたが、私がみんなの足を引っ張らないかドキドキしました。(最終のバスの時間もあるので、、、)
ガイドさんは、何でもご存知で質問は全て答えて下さいました。
天気も良く太鼓岩では晴れて、後半は曇ったおかげで暑すぎず、大変満足しました。
ただ一点、星を4つにした理由としては、
出発時、10分以上たっても送迎来られず心配になり電話をかけると、3回目でやっと繋がり「ちょっと待って」とだけ言われるだけで、結局約 20分待ちました。
結局入り口に到着して朝食を食べている時になり、詫びていただきましたが。
島時間なのはある程度理解しますが、
遅れるのなら早めに、また何分ほど待つと連絡いただけないと、大変早朝なので他に確認(連絡)する手段がないので、心配になりました。
折角ツアーに頼んでるので。
星を一つ減らしました。

I wasn't confident in my physical strength and was unsure about the 22-kilometer trek, but thanks to the guide's experience, I was able to pace myself well. My long-held wish came true, and I was moved. Thank you so much.
体力に自信がなく、22キロの工程をどうかと思ったが、ガイドさんの経験からペース配分がしっかり出来た。念願がかなった、感動した。本当にありがとう。

I participated in mid-July. Due to the impact of COVID-19, there were reportedly fewer climbers, but I still saw many people from early morning. I was able to enjoy trekking without any strain. However, the Jomon Sugi requires more walking than I expected, so it might be wise for older individuals to keep that in mind. It was fun to learn about various things related to the island. While it seems you can hike to Jomon Sugi alone, I still recommend joining a tour. As a note, please be careful as bad weather may lead to canceling visits to Taiko Rock and Jomon Sugi.
7月中旬に参加しました
コロナの影響で登山客は少なかったそうですがそれでも早朝から人は多く見かけました
無理なくトレッキングを楽しめました
が、縄文杉は思っていたより長く歩くのでご年配の方は念頭に置いていた方が良いかも知れません
色々島の事も教えて下さり楽しかったです
縄文杉は1人でも登山できるようですがやはりツアーの参加をお勧めします
注意としては天気が悪いと太鼓岩や縄文杉は断念する場合もあるそうなので気を付けてください
Dear Kanpan,
I apologize for the delayed response. Thank you very much for participating in the Jomon Sugi 1-day + Shiratani Unsuikyo (2-day) / Shiratani Unsuikyo 1-day tour.
Since last year, we have implemented various measures due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and I appreciate your prompt participation since tours resumed in July.
Honestly, you can walk to Jomon Sugi and Shiratani Unsuikyo without a guide, but having a guide is safer and allows you to learn more about Yakushima, so I believe it was beneficial.
As you pointed out, the course can be tough for older participants, but if you keep your body fit, age doesn't matter. I hope you will come back to climb again someday.
Thank you for your continued support.

昨年からコロナ渦の中、様々な対策を行い昨年7月以降にツアーが参加出来、早速の参加で改めてありがとうございます。
正直、ガイドが居なくても縄文杉も白谷雲水峡も歩けますが、ガイドが付いた方が安全で屋久島の事も聞けるので良かったのではないかと思います。
ご指摘の通り、年配の方にはきついコースですが、普段から体を鍛えていたら年齢関係ありませんので、カンパン様もまたいつか

While it's possible to go by bus individually, the round-trip shuttle service to the accommodation was very helpful. Especially on the way back, we were taken right after our arrival, so there was no loss of time.
The guide adjusted the walking pace and was considerate to ensure we didn't get tired.
Yakushima is known for its rain, but we were blessed with great weather, making for the best Jomon Sugi trekking experience.
個人でもバスで行けなくはありませんが、宿まで往復送迎が付いていて助かりました。特に帰りは到着後すぐに送ってもらえてロスがありませんでした。
ガイドさんは歩くペースを調整してくれて、疲れないように気を遣っていただけました。
雨が多い屋久島ですが、天気に恵まれ最高の縄文杉トレッキングでした。

I decided on a trip to Yakushima at the last minute, and after looking at the tour reviews, I thought, "I have normal stamina, so I'll be fine!" and signed up.
Without even looking at a guidebook, I participated in the tour, and the content was absolutely wonderful.
On the first day, we had Mr. Minoda as our guide. He shared stories about the natural world and some spiritual insights that made the long trekking feel like no time at all. His detailed explanations about the plants were very enjoyable.
On the second day, we had Mr. Taniyama. After finishing the trekking on the first day, I was really worried because the back of my knees hurt a lot, and I wasn't sure if I could make it to Shiratani Unsuikyo the next day. However, he reassured me by offering knee support and a walking stick, saying we had plenty of time to go at a leisurely pace, which eased my worries and allowed me to take on the challenge. Thanks to him, I was able to fully enjoy the beautiful Shiratani Unsuikyo!
The view from Taiko Rock was the best I've ever seen, even compared to landscapes abroad, and it was incredibly moving! It was also nice that, due to the impact of COVID-19, there were fewer people in the mountains, allowing us to spend a long time on Taiko Rock.
By the time we descended the mountain, my legs were shaking, but the pain wasn't as bad as the day before.
This was my first solo trip to Yakushima, which I decided on a whim, but thanks to the wonderful guides, it turned into a fantastic journey! Next time, I want to take my children to trek through the mountains filled with negative ions and share the breathtaking views from Taiko Rock together!
急遽決めた屋久島旅行で、ツアーも口コミを拝見し、普通に体力があるから大丈夫!と思いお申し込みさせていただきました^_^
ガイドブックも見ることなく、ツアーに参加させていただいてのですが、ツアー内容はとっても素晴らしかったです。
1日目は箕田さん。自然の世界の話や目に見えないスピリチュアルなお話など織り交ぜてくださり長いトレッキングもあっという間でした。植物のお話もとても詳しくてとても楽しい時間でした。
二日目は谷山さん。1日目のトレッキングが終わってから膝裏がめちゃくちゃ痛くなって、翌日の白谷雲水峡に行けるのか不安一杯だったのですが、膝のサポートと杖と貸してくださるとお話しくださり、時間もたくさんあるのでゆっくり周れるから大丈夫と心強い言葉も聞かせて頂き、不安もなくなりチャレンジすることができました。おかげさまでとっても素敵な白谷雲水峡を満喫することができました!
太鼓岩からの眺めは今まで見てきた海外を含む風景の中で一番最高でめちゃくちゃ感動しました!
コロナの影響で山に入っている人数も少ないとのことで長い時間太鼓岩の上にいることもできたこともよかったです。
山を降りるときはもう足がガクガクしていましたが、前日ほどの痛みはありませんでした^_^
思いつきではじめての一人旅で行った屋久島でしたが、素晴らしいガイドさんのおかげで素敵な旅になりました!
次は子供たちもマイナスイオンあふれる山の中を、そして太鼓岩からの絶景を一緒にトレッキングして、感動を分かち合いたいと思いました!
Dear Hajime,

I'm glad to hear that you were able to enjoy satisfying trekking on both days. Some people have wanted to visit Yakushima for 20 years, while others, like you, came on short notice.
There are even those who say, "I was called here" (laughs).
Everyone has their own schedule and feelings, but the nature of Yakushima remains unchanged since ancient times, and we, who are here on-site, will continue to protect it. We hope your family will visit again and share in the experience.
Thank you for your continued support.

This was my first trekking experience in life, and I usually don't exercise much. It was a challenging journey with heavy rain due to an approaching typhoon, but thanks to the guide's instructions on adjusting our clothing and teaching us how to walk without straining our legs and back, we were able to reach the goal safely!
When I saw the Jomon cedar at the summit, I was so moved that I almost cried! There were many highlights besides the named Jomon cedar and the couple's cedar, and I was glad to receive detailed explanations.
It turned out that there were only the two of us in the tour group, and with only about 50 climbers that day, it was great that there was no crowd, allowing us to take plenty of photos!
Since the weather can change quickly, I recommend preparing waterproof gear and shoes. It was reassuring that masks were required in the shuttle bus and that social distancing was maintained.
Our guide, Mr. Shinmura, was very knowledgeable and answered our questions thoroughly. He also provided recommendations for shops in Yakushima, which was very helpful! Thank you so much for your support.
普段あまり運動をしていない中の人生初トレッキングでした。
台風接近中で途中激しい雨に遭い険しい道のりでしたが、ガイドさんの指示で服装を調節したり、足腰を痛めない歩き方を教えていただいたおかげで無事ゴールできました!
頂上で縄文杉を見たときは感動して涙が出そうになりました・・!名前がついている縄文杉や夫婦杉以外にも見どころがたくさんあり、詳しく説明していただけてよかったです。
ツアー参加者はたまたま私たち夫婦2名のみで、その日全体の登山者が50人程度ということもあり、混雑がなく写真をたくさん撮れたことも良かったです!
天候が変わりやすいので雨具や靴は防水性が高いものを用意することをお勧めいたします。
送迎の車やシャトルバス内ではマスク必須でソーシャルディスタンスが保たれており、安心でした。

Dear Mizuki,
I apologize for the delayed response. Thank you very much for participating in the Jomon Sugi tour.
While it is easier to walk in sunny weather, personally, I find that trekking in heavy rain leaves a more lasting impression, so it will surely be unforgettable. It seems it will take some time before we can return to our usual trekking activities amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, but once things settle down, we sincerely look forward to your next visit to the island.

The Jomon Sugi tour that I had always wanted to go on! I was worried about the weather, my stamina, and the temperature, but it was so much fun and I could really feel nature all around me. Above all, the sense of accomplishment was incredible (laughs). Our guide, Mr. Yabuta, was adorable (*´꒳`*). It was easy to understand and enjoyable as we walked while he explained about the flowers, moss, leaves, the different types of cedar trees, the mountains, and the history! The spring water was cold and delicious. There were some mishaps along the way, like my shoes breaking and dropping my drink, but I was grateful for how quickly they handled everything! The information beyond just the Jomon Sugi tour was also very helpful. Thank you very much. It became a wonderful memory!

We participated as a couple. Although we were both beginners in mountain climbing, thanks to our guide, we were able to spend two enjoyable days with peace of mind.
First, after arriving in Yakushima, we received a call from the tour company the day before, and that evening, our guide called us with details about the pickup time, which made us feel at ease for the morning of the tour. On the first day, we had an early departure and walked for a long time, but fortunately, the weather was great, and we were able to see the magnificent Jomon Sugi, which left us very satisfied! We walked for about 10 hours round trip, but our guide was very kind and adjusted the pace to accommodate those who needed it, so if anyone feels anxious, I believe the guide will adjust the pace if you communicate that. I think it would be good to convey that in advance.
It was said to be a small group tour, but there were three other participants besides us, so on the first day, we walked with five people plus the guide.
On the second day, we chose the Shiratani Unsuikyo early morning course. We opted for the early morning course because we wanted to take it easy in the afternoon, and since we departed early, there were fewer climbers, allowing us to enjoy a private experience at the summit, Taiko Rock, where we could take photos at our leisure, making it the right choice to go early. We had lunch after returning to our accommodation, and in the afternoon, we had a leisurely sightseeing time, so I recommend the early morning course. On this day, there were four other participants, making a total of six people plus the guide.
Perhaps due to the impact of COVID-19, there were fewer tourists and climbers, allowing us to take our time at popular photo spots, which was really nice! As a COVID-19 precaution, our guide took photos of us with their smartphone, which we received after the tour, ensuring proper measures were in place. Additionally, masks were required in the shuttle vehicle and on the bus.
I found this experience very helpful when considering the tour, and I hope it can be of some reference to those who participate next. It was the best tour to fully enjoy the charm of Yakushima, including Jomon Sugi, the moss-covered forest, and Taiko Rock!
夫婦で参加しました。登山初心者の2人でしたが、ガイドさんのおかげで安心して楽しい2日間を過ごすことができました。
まず、屋久島に到着してから(前日に)観光会社から電話があり、その日の夜には担当ガイドさんから詳細の迎え時間の電話があり、安心して当日朝を迎えました。
1日目は朝とても早い出発で長い時間歩きましたが、幸いお天気にも恵まれて素晴らしい縄文杉を見ることができ大満足でした!
往復約10時間と長い時間と距離を歩きましたが、ゆっくりのペースの方に合わせてくださるとても優しいガイドさんだったので、不安な方もガイドさんに伝えたらペースを合わせてくれると思います。その点は、事前に伝えることができればいいなと思いました。
少人数ツアーとのことでしたが、私たち以外に3名参加だったので1日目は5名+ガイドさんで歩きました。
2日目は白谷雲水峡早朝コースを選びました。午後ゆっくりしたいと思い早朝コースにしましたが、朝早く出発するので登山者も少なく、頂上の太鼓岩に着いたときも貸し切り状態でゆっくり写真を撮れたので、早い時間にして正解でした。
お昼は宿に戻ってきてから摂れ、午後はゆっくり観光の時間にできたので早朝コースをオススメします。
この日は私たち以外に4名参加で計6名+ガイドさんでした。
コロナも影響してか、観光客、登山している人も少なく、人気の写真スポットでもゆっくり写真を撮ることができ、すごく良かったです!
コロナ対策ということで、自分たちが写る写真はガイドさんのスマホで撮っていただき、ツアー後にいただくという形で、しっかり対策をとっていました。また、送迎の車、バス内ではマスク着用でした。
ツアーを検討する際に、こちらの体験談がとても参考になったので、次に参加される方の参考に少しでもなれば嬉しいです。
縄文杉、苔むす森、太鼓岩…魅力いっぱいの屋久島を満喫できる最高のツアーでした!
Thank you for your message.
I apologize for the delayed response. Also, thank you very much for participating in the Jomon Sugi 1-Day + Early Morning Shiratani Tour.
I was pleased to read that you had a fulfilling trekking experience with the same guide over the two days. Regarding Shiratani Unsuikyo, it was indeed the right choice to opt for the early morning tour, especially in summer when clouds tend to form in the afternoon and temperatures rise. If your friends are considering trekking in Yakushima, please recommend this tour to them.
Thank you for your continued support.

It was the only day I could visit Jomon Sugi during the four-day holiday. Due to the impact of COVID-19, there were fewer international visitors, allowing me to fully enjoy Japan (the only language spoken around me was Japanese).
Thanks to my application last November, I had the best trekking experience with a friendly, beautiful, and attentive young female guide. I was often greeted by the other guides, who were older men and brothers. During lunchtime, I was served miso soup, and when we took shelter from the rain, I was offered coffee, which warmed me up and boosted my energy.
Since it was a private guide, I could walk at my own pace without worry, which I believe was the key to reaching Jomon Sugi. Good shoes are essential!!
4連休で唯一縄文杉に会いに行けた日でした。
新型コロナの影響もあり、海外の方が少ないので日本を満喫できました。(周囲の言語が日本語だけです。)
昨年の11月に申し込んだおかげか、話しやすく綺麗で気の利く若い女性のガイドさんで最高のトレッキングでした。他のガイド仲間のおじさんお兄さん達からもよく声を掛けられてました。お弁当の時にはみそ汁や、雨宿りの時にはコーヒーも入れて頂き体が温まり元気になれました。
プライベートガイドさんなので、安心して自分のペースで歩けたのが、縄文杉まで行けた秘訣だと思います。靴は、大事!!
Dear Mayumi Tsuchiya,
Thank you for your review. We are deeply grateful that you were able to visit Yakushima and that the tour was able to proceed safely despite the impact of COVID-19.

If it's your first time, I think you would get lost without a tour guide. I participated in the tour and was able to safely reach Jomon Sugi. During the trekking, we shared laughs, which made it enjoyable even when I was physically exhausted and found the return journey tough. The guide was very attentive, teaching us how to take photos and showing us great photo spots.
Fortunately, we were blessed with good weather and didn't have any rain, so we didn't need to use rain gear. Bringing two 500 ml water bottles is sufficient, as you can drink cold water from streams at several points along the way. If you're lucky, you might even see deer!
The hike was challenging, but it became a memorable experience of a lifetime.
初めてならツアーガイドさんがいなければ迷うと思います。ツアーに参加し、安全に縄文杉まで到着することができました。トレッキング中笑いを交えながらだったので、体力が辛くなったとき、復路が辛かった時にも楽しみながら歩くことができました。写真の撮り方やフォトスポットまで教えて下さりとても細部まで丁寧にご対応して頂きました。
幸い天候に恵まれ雨もなく、雨具を使うことはありませんでした。水分は500 mlのペットボトルを2本持っていけば途中で沢の水が何箇所かで冷たい水を飲む事ができます。ダイビングが合えば鹿に会えます!
登山は大変でしたが、一生に残る思い出となりました。
Dear Shizuka,
I apologize for the delayed response. Thank you very much for participating in the Jomon Sugi tour.
Summer is the typhoon season, and even if the weather forecast predicts clear skies, it often rains in the mountains, so it was great that it didn't rain during your visit. However, Yakushima is the place that receives the most rainfall in Japan, so I wish you could have experienced trekking in the rain as well.
There are many attractions in Yakushima during other seasons as well, so we sincerely look forward to your next visit.

I always wanted to go, but I was worried about my physical stamina... As time passed and my physical abilities declined, I decided to participate. It became the best memory of this summer.
This tour is all-inclusive.
When renting trekking gear, there is a fitting for shoes upon arrival at the airport. The rental shop provides advice. As a result, I returned without any blisters.
A major feature of the tour is the dedicated shuttle service to the trailhead. Using a regular bus has a set schedule, which means you have to stick to that for departures and arrivals at the trailhead. However, we arrived early before other tours, enjoyed a leisurely breakfast, and started at our own pace without being rushed by the bus departure on the way back.
We were fortunate with the weather and our guide. While the rain-soaked cedar forests of Yakushima are said to be mystical, as a beginner, I hoped it wouldn't rain... and my wish was granted with clear skies all day. Our guide, Ryo Takahashi from the Yakushima Guide Association, provided detailed explanations of key locations and kept us engaged with information about Yakushima and personal stories. Thanks to Takahashi's engaging talk, our walking pace increased, allowing us extra time to stop by a special place on the way back.
Meeting the Jomon Cedar was an emotional experience, and I felt it was worth coming. This tour taught me that travel is not just about going to see a specific destination and returning.
一度は行ってみたいけど、体力的に心配…
と思っていて年月が経って、ますます運動機能が低下していたので、思いきって参加してみました。
今夏の最高の想い出になりました。
このツアーは至れり尽くせりです。
トレッキング用具のレンタルでは、空港に着いた時にシューズの試着があります。
レンタル用具屋さんがアドバイスしてくれます。
結果、全く靴ずれせず帰ってこれました。
登山口までツアー専用送迎も大きな特徴です。
定期バス利用ではスケジュールが決まっているので、それに合わせて登山口発着になりますが、
他のツアーが来る前に早く着いて、ゆっくり朝ご飯食べてスタートして、帰りもバスの出発に追われる事なく参加者のペースで歩けます。
今回恵まれたのはお天気とガイドさん。
雨の屋久杉の森も幻想的だそうですが、初心者としては降ってほしくない…その願いが届いて、終日晴天でした。
ガイドは、屋久島ガイド協会から高橋亮さんにご担当いただきました。
ポイントとなる場所の詳しい解説はもちろん、屋久島の情報からプライベートのお話まで、参加者を飽きさせません。
高橋さんのトークライブに私達の歩行ペースも上がったのか、時間に余裕ができて、帰りに特別な場所に寄り道してくださいました。
縄文杉との対面は感動的で、来て良かったと感じた時間でした。
ただそれ以外にも、
目的のものを見に行って帰ってくるだけが旅ではないことを教えてくれたツアーでした。

I had different guides for Jomon Sugi and Shiratani Unsuikyo! I wonder if they are from different companies? However, it seemed like all the guides knew each other, and even though I was participating alone, other guides came over to chat with me, so I didn't feel lonely at all!
【Jomon Sugi】
- Even though the pace of the other participants was slow, the guide adjusted to match the slowest person's pace without rushing anyone. I think even those who might be anxious about keeping up with the group can participate. However, those who are lagging behind might feel pressured, so it would be nice if they could ask about preferred pace during the application process and organize groups in advance! It might have just been coincidence, but since I was with another solo participant at Shiratani Unsuikyo, we were able to chat a lot, which was really enjoyable.
- I participated in August during the peak summer heat, so I was worried about heatstroke, but the guide took regular breaks, allowing us to hydrate and replenish electrolytes effectively! However, elderly participants or those with concerns about stamina should avoid Jomon Sugi in the summer. Although the temperature drops somewhat at higher altitudes, it is still hot in summer. I think choosing the right season is important.
The perk of participating in the summer was that we could play in the river for about 15 minutes on the way back. It felt so refreshing on my tired body! However, considering the bus schedule on the way back, I can't guarantee that this will always be possible, so please take this as a reference.
[Shiratani Unsuikyo]
Since I had the Jomon Sugi trekking the day before, I actually hoped to start around 8 or 9 AM. However, I was informed that only early morning departures were available on my desired date, so I changed to a 5 AM departure, and it was definitely better to go early! The mystical scenery that can only be seen in the early morning is breathtaking, and with fewer people around, we could take our time. We were back around noon, which allowed us to use the afternoon meaningfully. Even though it was trekking early in the morning for consecutive days, I was glad to get an early start.
I was able to trek while listening to the guide's stories, and I really fell in love with Yakushima. I already miss Yakushima! Haha. Next time, I want to challenge myself to Mount Miyanoura! I also took a lot of photos, which became wonderful memories! Thank you very much!
縄文杉と白谷雲水峡では別々のガイドさんでした!会社は違うのかな?でもガイドさん同士はみんなお知り合いのようで、1人参加でしたが、他のガイドさんも話掛けてきてくれたりして寂しい思いなく過ごせました!
【縄文杉】
・他の参加者の方のペースが遅くても、急かすことなく1番遅い方にペースを合わせて下さってました。周りのペースに合わせられるかな?って不安な方でも参加できると思いますただ、遅れてしまっている方は焦ると思うので、できれば申し込み時に希望のペースを聞いて事前にグループ分けをしてもらえるといいなと思いました!
たまたまかもしれないですが、白谷雲水峡では同じ1人参加の方と2人だったので、色々お話ができてとても楽しかったです。
・8月の真夏に参加したので熱中症が心配されてましたが、細かく休憩を取ってくださったので、水分・塩分補給を細かく摂取することができました!でも高齢の方、体力に不安のある方は真夏の縄文杉は避けたほうがいいです。山の上なので多少気温は下がりますが、やはり夏なので暑いです。季節の選択も重要だなと思いました。
真夏に参加する特権は、帰りに沢で川遊びを15分くらいできたことです疲れた身体に冷たくてとても気持ちよかったですよ真夏でも、帰りのバスの時間の兼ね合いとかもあると思うので、必ず寄れるかはわかりませんので参考程度にお願いします。

前日に縄文杉トレッキングがあったので、本当は8時、9時頃の出発希望でした。
希望日に早朝出発しか催行しないとのことで、朝5時出発に変更しましたが、早朝出発のほうが絶対いいです!早朝だからこその神秘的な風景が見られるし、人が少ないのでゆっくり進むことができます。12時頃には帰って来れるので、午後を有意義に使えるのが魅力です連日早朝からのトレッキングでしたが、早くから動いてよかったです
ガイドさんのお話を聞きながらトレッキングすることができて、屋久島がすごい好きになりましたすでに屋久島が恋しいです!笑
今度は宮之浦岳も挑戦してみたいな~!
写真もたくさん撮っていただきとてもいい思い出になりました!ありがとうございました
Dear Anonymous,
I apologize for the delayed response. Thank you very much for participating in the Jomon Sugi 1-day + Early Morning Shiratani Unsuikyo Tour.
For this tour, we requested assistance from our partner company as there was only one participant for the Jomon Sugi portion. Regarding Shiratani Unsuikyo, we recommend an early morning departure, especially in summer when clouds tend to form in the afternoon and it gets hot during the day. I'm glad to hear you enjoyed it.
Let's challenge Mount Miyanoura next time. Thank you for your continued support.

そしてこの度は、縄文杉1日+早朝白谷ツアーにご参加頂き、誠にありがとうございました。
今回、縄文杉については弊社では参加者か1名ということで提携している会社にお願いしました。
白谷雲水峡については、特に夏は午後から雲が発生する事と日中暑くなることから、早朝出発することを勧めておりますが喜んでくれて良かったです。
次回は宮之浦岳に挑戦しましょうね。
今後とも宜しくお願いします。

The one-way trek takes about 2 hours along a cart path, followed by a 3-hour climb up the mountain. It significantly tests your physical strength and endurance, but the sense of achievement upon completing the entire journey is exceptional. However, after descending that day, I was too exhausted to do anything.
During the trek, I experienced some trouble with my toenails, but soaking my feet in a stream helped cool them down and they recovered quite a bit. Considering the pace management, explanations at various points along the way, and the response to issues that arose (in another party, the guide carried the bags due to a foot injury), I believe the guide was truly commendable.
片道がトロッコ道の徒歩で2時間、そこから山を3時間程度上るもの。体力筋力を著しく使ってつらいけれど、全行程クリアした際の達成感は格別。なおその日は下山後は疲労で何もできず。
また行程中で足の爪にトラブル発生したところ、沢に足を入れて冷やして大分回復した。
ペース配分や途中での各所解説、トラブル発生時の対応(他のパーティーでは足の負傷により荷物をガイドさんが代わりに運んでいた)などを鑑みれば、ガイドさんはあらまほしきものと思う。

Dear Makochin,
I apologize for the delayed response. Thank you very much for participating in the Jomon Sugi tour.
Even for those who are usually active, walking 22 kilometers round trip for 10 hours is quite a challenge, but I hope that walking through the forest of this World Heritage site has become a lifelong memory for you.
We have had participants in their 90s walk the Jomon Sugi course, so please continue to build your stamina and challenge yourself again.
Thank you for your continued support.

この度は、縄文杉ツアーにご参加頂き誠にありがとうございました。
普段体を動かしている人でも往復22kmを10時間歩くのは大変なことですが、世界自然遺産の森を歩いたことは一生の思い出になったのでは
ないでしょうか。
今まで90代の方が縄文杉コースを歩いていますので、体力作りをしまたチャレンジして下さい。
今後とも宜しくお願いします。
