This was my first time participating, but due to heavy rain, Shiratani Unsuikyo was closed, and I couldn't see Taiko Rock, which I was looking forward to. It might be unavoidable because of the weather, but there was no refund. I thought I would at least enjoy the tour to Jomon Sugi, but the guide's response was very disappointing.
- While other groups were taking breaks regularly, we did not take any.
- Even though there was someone in our group with a foot injury, one person went ahead without providing any care.
- I wanted to take photos, but I was hurried to move forward quickly. It felt like they wanted to get back as soon as possible.
I also felt envious watching the guides from other groups properly explain the highlights.
初めて参加しましたが、大雨の影響で白谷雲水峡が閉鎖されており
楽しみにしていた太鼓岩は見られませんでした。
天候なので仕方ないのかもしれませんが、返金もなし。
せめて縄文杉までのツアーを楽しもうと思いましたが
ガイドさんの対応がすごく残念でした。
・他グループはコマメに休んでいるのに休憩を取らない
・足を痛めてる人がグループにいたにも関わらず
1人だけ先にいき、まったくケアをしない
・写真を撮りたかったのに早く前に進めと急かされる
早く帰りたいように感じた。
また、他のグループのガイドさんがしっかりと見どころの解説を
されているのを見て羨ましく思えました。

The beginning of the climb was under a cloudy sky. However, it turned into heavy rain along the way. Although I managed to reach the forest of Princess Mononoke, unfortunately, I had to give up on Taiko Rock and turn back. The path I had taken on the way there had turned into a river on the way back. The babbling stream had transformed into a muddy torrent. It's a shame I couldn't go to Taiko Rock, but the scenery of Shiratani Unsuikyo in the rain was mystical and beautiful. I felt reassured on the way back because I had a guide with me. Thank you, Watanabe-san.
登り始めは曇り空。しかし、途中から大雨になってしまいました。もののけ姫の森には何とか到着したものの、残念ながら太鼓岩は断念し引き返しました。行きは見た道であったのに、帰りは川になっていました。せせらぎも濁流へと景色が一変していました。太鼓岩に行けなかったのは残念だけど、雨の白谷雲水峡の景色は神秘的で良かったです。ガイドさんがついてくれていたので、帰りは安心しました。渡辺さんありがとうございました。

Yakushima's history and Jomon Sugi, of course, I learned so much and Yukki-san (the guide) answered all my questions. It was incredibly educational, and my conversations with Yukki-san were always enjoyable.
We went as a group of five, with both experienced climbers and beginners, and Yukki-san was great at assessing everyone's fitness levels and providing various instructions. Above all, I felt a tremendous sense of security! Thanks to Yukki-san, even those who were anxious about climbing were able to do so with confidence. Also, we took a lot of photos in beautiful spots, which created wonderful memories.
Listening to Yukki-san's experiences and playing shiritori together kept the long tour fun and engaging. Yukki-san, who knows a lot about endemic species, was also strong in shiritori! (laughs)
The brown sugar rice crackers Yukki-san gave us during the trekking were delicious, but the sweet potato yokan I brought was also amazing. I definitely recommend that future participants bring some along.
Thank you for everything from morning until night!
屋久島の歴史、縄文杉のことはもちろんホントにたくさんのことを知っていて質問すれば全て答えてくれました。すごく勉強になり、ユッキーさん(ガイドさん)との会話が終始楽しかったです。
今回5人グループで行きましたが、登山経験者もいれば初心者もいてそれぞれの体力を把握していろいろと指示してくれました。なにより安心感がハンパなかったです!ユッキーさんのおかげで登山に不安を抱えていた子も安心して登山ができたと思います。また、景色の良い場所でたくさん写真を撮っていただき、良い思い出作りにもなったと思います。
ユッキーさんの経験談を聞いたり、全員でしりとりをしたりと、長いツアーも飽きずに楽しむことができました。固有種をたくさん知っているユッキーさんはしりとりにも強かった!(笑)
トレッキング中にユッキーさんがくれた黒糖麩菓子も美味しかったですが、自分が持って行った芋ようかんも最高でした。ぜひ、これから参加する方に持っていくようにお勧めしていただきたいです。
朝から晩まで、ありがとうございました!!

I’m 55 years old. Other than my weekly walks, I’m usually cooped up in the office and hardly ever lift anything heavier than a computer mouse, so I’m quite out of shape. Not wanting to inconvenience strangers in a large group, I requested a private guide for just the two of us with my companion.
Among my friends in Fukuoka, there was a lot of betting on whether I could reach Jomon Sugi, with the overwhelming majority betting on my "dropout." (By the way, I also voted for "dropout.")
As I feared, it started to rain halfway along the tramway, eventually turning into a downpour. I hurriedly put on my rain gear, and while struggling up the mountain path, I kept thinking, "Why did I come here? I want to stop. I want to go home." However, encouraged by my guide and companion, I somehow managed to reach the Jomon Sugi I had aimed for. After having lunch and changing clothes, just as we were about to head back, a beam of light broke through the misty rain from the clouds, shining on the massive Jomon Sugi. The sight was breathtakingly beautiful, and with the reassurance that we only had to descend from there, all the struggles of the ascent completely vanished.
And then on the way back. I thought it would be easy since we were just going down, but that was a huge mistake! The weight I had gained from being out of shape was pounding down on my knees and thighs, and I screamed in pain multiple times. The guide, Mr. Iwakawa, kindly let us take breaks each time, during which I chatted with my companion. I thought, "It’s strange, she’s out of shape too," but once we reached the flat part of the tramway, I chanted in my mind, “(Right foot) beer♪ (Left foot) hot spring♪” and managed to get through it. Returning safely to the hotel, the beer and hot spring I enjoyed were undoubtedly the best I’ve had in my 55 years of life.
Thank you, guide Mr. Iwakawa!
55歳。週に一度の散歩以外はオフィスに閉じこもりきりで、パソコンのマウス以上に重いものを持つことなどめったいにないというほどの運動不足。大勢のグループで知らない人に迷惑をかけたくなかったので、同行の彼女と2人でお一人の専属ガイドさんをお願いしました。
地元福岡の友人らの間では私が縄文杉まで到達できるか否かで賭けが盛り上がっており、「脱落」に圧倒的多数の票が集まる中、いざ出発!(ちなみに私自身も「脱落」に一票)
心配していた雨がトロッコ道の中ほどから降り出し、やがで土砂降りに。急いでレインウエアを羽織り、山道をあえぎながら登っている最中は「なんでこんなとこに来てしまったんだ。もう止めたい。もう帰りたい。」と後悔しきりでしたが、ガイドさんや同行者に励まされ、なんとかお目当ての縄文杉に到着。
昼食と着替えを済ませ、さあ帰ろうというちょうどその時、ほんの数分でしたが霧雨に煙る雲の隙間から一条の光が巨大の縄文杉に差してきました。神々しくも壮麗なその光景はまさに息を飲むほどの美しさで、あとは下りるだけという安心感もあいまって、登りの苦労は完全に吹き飛びました。
そして帰り。下りるだけだから楽だろうと高をくくってたのですが、これが大間違い! 運動不足でふくれあがった全体重が、膝や太ももにズシンズシンとたたみかけ、もうあまりの痛さに何度も悲鳴を上げました。ガイドさんはその度に快く休憩をとってくれ、その間、同行の彼女と談笑。「おかしいなぁ、彼女も運動不足なのになぁ」と不満に思いつつも、平坦になってからの長いトロッコ道は心の中で「(右足)ビール♪(左足)温泉♪」と唱えて軽快に乗り切り、無事ホテルに帰って堪能したビールと温泉は、55年の人生で間違いなく最高でした。
ガイドの岩川さん、ありがとーーー!
Dear Mr. Sarukichi,
Thank you for participating in our tour the other day.
The round trip to Jomon Sugi was indeed long and challenging, but I think it’s truly wonderful that you completed it without any injuries. Your effort is what made the Jomon Sugi trekking experience possible, and we are very grateful for that.
We hope that you won’t be discouraged by this trekking experience and that if you have another opportunity to visit Yakushima, you will walk with our guides again.
Thank you for your patronage.

I utilized a half-day trekking tour during the three-day weekend in late September.
Since it was stated that "if there is no contact after arrival, the reservation may be canceled," I called the provided phone number multiple times right after arriving, but no one answered (during business hours). I had also arranged for rentals, so I kept trying to reach them while driving, but still no response. The emergency contact was the same number, leaving me with no options. Despite the 1 PM meeting time, I couldn't get in touch before noon, so I gave up and arranged rentals elsewhere.
Feeling anxious about whether the tour would take place, I continued to try contacting them, and finally, after 12 PM, I was able to get through. I confirmed that the tour would proceed as scheduled, which relieved me, and shortly after, I received a call from the guide.
The guide was a powerful person in their late 60s. They shared various tips during the car ride to the entrance, such as "If you're on the island, you should see this and try that." However, it seemed they were a bit tired, as they led us during the trekking but didn't provide much explanation and quietly moved ahead, occasionally stopping to take photos. On the way back, they walked ahead so quietly that they didn't even notice we were falling behind.
While having dinner, I mentioned, "They were nice, but they must have been tired. It's a bit disappointing," when I received a call from the operation team asking, "How was today's tour?" I explained, "I tried to contact you multiple times and was anxious because I couldn't get through, but finally got a hold of you in the afternoon, and the guide was able to assist us." Instead of apologizing, they made excuses, saying, "There may be times when we can't answer the phone while on a call or attending to something." I responded, "If that's the case, it seems strange that I had to make so many long calls." They replied, "Is that so?" without an apology, and the conversation continued. They then mentioned, "While tallying today's tour, I noticed there was no record of the rental, and when I contacted the desk, they were gone and unreachable, so I contacted the guide, who had the equipment and guided us." I relayed the earlier details, but we ended up going in circles with the same conversation. Frustrated, I asked, "What exactly do you want from me with this call?" They replied, "I just wanted to confirm." We had been talking for over 10 minutes, and when I said, "I'm having dinner now, so can I hang up?" they said, "That's fine."
Honestly, I felt very uncomfortable. On the second day, I had a guide from a different company who provided a very pleasant experience, making the contrast even more noticeable.
9月後半の3連休に午後の半日トレッキングを利用しました。
「現地到着後連絡がない場合キャンセルにする場合があります」と記載されていたため、到着後すぐに書いてあった電話番号に何度も電話をしても誰も出ない(受付時間内)。レンタルも手配していた為、車の移動中も何度も何度も連絡しても出ない。緊急連絡先も同じ番号のためどうしようもなく、13時集合にも関わらず12時前になっても連絡がつかなかったため、諦めて別途レンタルのみ別の所で手配しました。
ツアーが行われるか不安になりながら、連絡先に引き続き連絡すると、12時過ぎにようやく電話が繋がりました。ツアーは予定通り行われるという事を確認し、安心したところその後すぐぐらいに担当のガイドさんから連絡が来ました。
担当のガイドさんは60代後半のパワフルな方。「午前中も半日コースのトレッキングを案内して来た、島内なら〇〇を見たら良いよ、食べたらいいよ」などと入口までの車の中で色々教えてくださりました。ただ…やはり、少しお疲れだったのかトレッキング中は先導はしてくださりますが、特に説明などなく黙々と進み、所々で写真を撮ってくださる感じ。帰りに至っては私たちが離れているのも気づかないぐらい黙々と前を歩いてらっしゃいました。
「いい方だったけど、疲れてたんだろうね。ちょっと残念」などと話ながら夕食を食べていると、運営の方から電話があり、「今日のツアーはどのような物だったのか」と唐突に聞かれました。「何度も連絡し、なかなか繋がらなかったので不安だったが、昼過ぎにようやく連絡がつき、無事案内していただけた」と答えると「電話中や対応中の場合は電話に出られない場合がある」と謝るでもなく言い訳をなさったので、「そうだとするとおかしなぐらいお電話は長いコールを何度も何度もしました」と伝えると「そうですか」との返事。謝らずそのまま話は進み、「今日のツアーの集計(?)をしていると、レンタルと書いてあるのにされた形跡がなく、デスクに連絡したら帰っていて繋がらないのでガイドに連絡したら装備していたのでそのままガイドした、と聞いた。どういう事か」と聞かれたため、前述の内容を伝えました。しかし、結局何度も同じ話のループとなり、痺れが切れたので「結局私はこのお電話を貰って何をする事を求められているのでしょうか」と伺うと「確認をしたかった」との返事。それまでに10分以上話をしており、「今夕食中なのでそれなら電話を切ってもいいですか」と聞くと、「構いません」とのことでした。
正直とても気分が悪かったです。
二日目は違う所でガイドをお願いしており、とても気持ち良い対応で楽しかったので、余計に差を感じました。

The view from Taiko Rock was amazing, with great weather allowing us to see the mountains and the sea of Yakushima! The guide controlled the pace, which helped manage fatigue, and it was nice to have fewer other customers in the early morning. If I could wish for anything, I would love to go trekking again on a sunny day after rain when the moss is more wet and sparkling. I highly recommend this course!
太鼓岩からの眺めは、天気も良く屋久島の山々と海まで見渡せて最高でした!ガイドさんがペースをコントロールしてくれる為、疲れもそこそこで朝一だと他のお客様が少ないのも良かったです。欲を言えば、苔達がもっと水に濡れてキラキラしている雨の翌日の晴れた日に、またトレッキングしてみたいと思います。オススメコースです!

It was a long journey of 10 hours, and hiring a guide was definitely the right decision. If I hadn't, I might have ended up on a grueling trek just aiming for Jomon Sugi to avoid missing the return bus.
The guide was young and taught us various things about Yakushima's climate, vegetation, animals, and folklore along the way. He also took photos at the scenic spots. I learned a technique for taking panoramic shots from below to above for the first time. The pacing was perfect; he guided us slowly and thoroughly on the way there (since we tend to get tired and less inclined to take photos on the way back), and on the return trip, we moved at a relatively fast pace, but he made sure we could catch the bus as soon as we got back to the trailhead.
We were able to see the mountain, which is usually hidden by clouds, and I got to see Yakushima deer up close. Experiencing the size of Jomon Sugi was also very satisfying! Even my fifth grader was able to complete the hike.
往復10時間という長丁場、ガイドを依頼して大正解でした。もし依頼していなかったら、帰りのバスに乗り遅れないよう、ただただ縄文杉を目指す苦行のような行程になっていたかもしれません。
ガイドさんは若い方で、道中、屋久島の気候や植生、動物、伝承など様々なことを教えてくれて、撮影スポットでは写真撮影もしてくれました。パノラマで下から上に撮るテクニックを初めて知りました。ペース配分もバッチリで、往路はゆっくりじっくり案内してくれて(帰りは疲れて写真撮るのも億劫になってしまうから)、復路はわりとハイペースでしたが登山口に戻ってきたらすぐにバスに乗れるよう考えてくれていました。
普段は雲に隠れている山も見れたし、ヤクシカも間近で見ることができ、縄文杉の大きさも体感できたので、大満足です!
小5でも完歩できました。
Thank you for participating in the tour. I am also very happy to receive your thoughtful comments.
Even when walking the same path, the perspective and knowledge each person holds can make the scenery appear completely different. The essence of trekking lies in how many stories you can read from just a beautiful landscape. I believe the role of a guide is to convey specialized perspectives and knowledge to customers while trekking together, allowing them to savor that essence.
Every time I walk with customers of various ages and life experiences, I often gain new perspectives myself. In particular, the viewpoints of children can be completely different from those of adults, and I am often surprised by them.
It was a fun and meaningful tour for us as well.
When taking panoramic photos, utilizing the difference in elevation with the background can result in dynamic pictures! Please practice and give it a try.
If you have the opportunity, please come and visit Yakushima again!
ツアー参加頂きありがとうございました。
また、丁寧なコメントも頂き、嬉しい限りです。
同じ道を歩いても、その人の持っている視点や知識等によって、全く違った景色に観えます。
ただのキレイな景色の中から、どれだけ多くのストーリーを読み取れるのかが、トレッキングの醍醐味になります。
ガイドの仕事は、専門の視点や知識を、一緒にトレッキングしながらお客様に伝えて、その醍醐味をお客様に味わって頂くことだと思っています。
毎回、色んな年代や人生経験をお持ちのお客様と一緒に歩くことで、こちらが新しい視点をもらうこともたくさんあります。
特に、お子様の視点は、大人には全くない視点で、ハッとさせられることがよくあります。
こちらこそ、楽しく有意義なツアーになりました。
パノラマ写真は、背景との高低差が大きい時に活用して頂くと、ダイナミックな写真が撮れます!
ぜひ練習して使ってみて下さい。
また機会があれば、ぜひ屋久島に遊びに来て下さいね!

We participated in a day trip to Jomon Sugi, just two people in their 30s. Thanks to our guide, we had an amazing time. She was a young female guide, but very sincere and attentive. Sometimes, even experienced guides can be overly assertive, making it unclear whose tour it is, but this guide listened very well to the participants' requests. Not only did she cover the key points of the course, but she also took time at spots we liked and took photos for us. When I mentioned that I liked moss, she taught me about various types of moss. She was also a great timekeeper, explaining the goals in detail in increments of a few minutes to several tens of minutes, which made the climb easier. On the way down, she guided us from behind to ensure we could enjoy the view as it opened up. Her thoughtful consideration from a user's perspective, typical of a young woman, was very much appreciated. I also accidentally left my trekking poles during a break, but she diligently asked her fellow guides via radio and in person when we passed each other, which was reassuring. Ultimately, my poles were found, and she even went out of her way to deliver them to my hotel. I felt a bit guilty, but I am truly grateful for her warm personality and dedication as a guide. Thanks to her, I have come to love Yakushima and mountain climbing even more. I would love to have her as a guide again.
Regarding the shop, since there was a heavy rain warning on the scheduled day, they called me the night before to inform me of the possibility of cancellation and rescheduled for the next day. The staff was very pleasant and kind.
I’m glad I chose this company. I will use their services again.
縄文杉日帰りに参加した30台の男女2人です。ガイドさんのお陰で最高に楽しめました。若い女性ガイドさんでしたが、とても誠実で丁寧な方でした。時としてベテランであっても個性が強すぎると、押し付けがましくなって、誰のためのツアーかわからなくなりますが、今回のガイドさんは参加者の要望をとてもよく聞いてくれました。コースの重要ポイントのみならず、僕達が気に入ったポイントで時間をとってくれたり、写真をとってくれました。苔が好きだと伝えると、色々な種類の苔を教えてくれました。タイムキーパーとしてもとても良かったです。数分から数十分単位で細かく目標を事前に説明してくれるので、登りやすかったです。下山の時には、視野が開けて景色が堪能できるようにと後方からガイドしてくれました。若い女性ならではの利用者目線での細やかな心配りもとても嬉しかったです。また、ストックを休憩の時に置き忘れてしまいましたが、すれ違った時やトランシーバーなどで、同僚のガイドに何度も尋ねてくれて、頼もしかったです。最終的にストックが見つかって、ホテルまでわざわざ届けに来てくれました。申し訳無い気持ちになりつつ、温かい人柄と仕事熱心なガイドに本当に感謝しています。彼女のお陰で、屋久島や登山がより一層好きになりました。またガイドしてもらいたいなと思いました。

I participated in the Jomon Sugi trekking tour, which included direct bus transportation to the Arakawa trailhead.
Normally, you would need to transfer to a mountain bus at the Yakushima Nature Museum (which costs an additional 2,380 yen), but this tour included the bus fare to the Arakawa trailhead, making it very convenient to go directly from the accommodation (laughs).
I found this price to be surprisingly affordable compared to other tour companies.
On the day of arrival, a staff member came to our accommodation for a briefing the next day (though we couldn't meet at the airport, which was part of the reason), and I handed over the cooperation fee of 1,000 yen to complete everything.
We departed a bit early (at 3:58), but that allowed us to act before it got crowded.
Perhaps because it was before a holiday, there were unusually many people in front of the Yakushima Nature Museum where we would have transferred buses, but seeing that while going directly to the trailhead felt good (laughs).
I highly recommend the Yakushima Trekking Tour for its operation.
縄文杉トレッキングツアー 荒川登山口までの直行バス送迎付きに参加しました。
通常では屋久島自然館で登山バス(別途2,380円)に乗り換える必要があるのですが、このツアーは荒川登山口迄のバス料金も含まれていて、宿から登山口直行でとても楽チンでした(笑)。
このお値段は他のツアー会社と比べて不思議な程お得に思いました。
到着した日、翌日の打ち合わせに宿迄来てくださった(実際は空港で会えなかった所為もありましたが)係りの人に協力金の1,000円を渡して全て完了です。
少し早目(3:58)の出発でしたが、その分混まないうちに行動出来ました。
連休前の所為かバスに乗り換える屋久島自然館の前が異常に人が多かったのですが、それを横目に見ながら登山口直行は、気分も良かったですよ(笑)。
ツアーオペレーションの屋久島トレッキングツアーはお勧めです。

Both my son, who has been to Kumotani Gorge several times, and I, who am visiting Yakushima for the first time and lack confidence in my physical stamina, had a great time. We received detailed guidance on what to bring and what to wear in advance. They are very helpful with practical advice. Since I want to enjoy the experience rather than focus on taking photos, it's better to arrange for someone to take pictures for us, especially for kayaking.
雲谷峡には何度かきている息子も、屋久島初めてで体力にも自信がない私も、楽しめました。
事前に荷物や服装、詳しくご案内いただきました。実際的なところの相談にのっていただけます。
写真撮るより楽しみたいので、写真も頼んでおくほうが良いです。カヤックならなおさらです。
After the rain... it was a perfect day for Shiratani. I'm glad you enjoyed the river kayaking as well. Your kind son shows great care for his mother, and the bond between the two of you was very evident. I hope we can be together again someday. Thank you very much for this time.

雨上がり…絶好の白谷日和でしたね。そしてリバーカヤックもお楽しみ頂けてとても良かったです。
お母様を気遣うやさしい息子さんで、お二人の仲の良さがとても伝わってきましたよ。
またいつかご一緒できたら幸いです。
この度は本当にありがとうございました。

The guide was very kind to us, but due to unexpectedly bad weather, we were exhausted from walking in heavy rain.
We just kept our heads down to avoid the rain, unable to enjoy the magnificent scenery, only thinking about how many more hours we had to endure this pain.
I should have had the courage to turn back.
ガイドさんには良くしていただきましたが、
想像以上の悪天候のため、
雨が激しい中、疲労困憊。
ただひたすら、雨を避けるために
下を向き歩き続け、
雄大な景色を堪能することも出来ず、
後、何時間でこの苦痛から逃れられるのか
だけを思っていました。
引き返す勇気を持つべきでした。

Due to the heavy rain warning, we couldn't go to the Forest of Mononoke, but I was very satisfied with the change to the Yayoi Cedar Tour. I think it was great to see the heavily flooded Unsuikyo, which is not something you get to see often. Thank you, guide Watanabe!

The trekking this time was uncertain due to heavy rain until the day before, and I wasn't sure if we could enter the mountain until we arrived at the site. By the way, entry was prohibited the day before. Feeling anxious, when we arrived, we were told it was okay to enter, and I couldn't help but do a fist pump. Our guide, Mr. Akuzawa, was incredibly knowledgeable, far beyond what you would expect from someone with only two years of guiding experience, and trekking while listening to his explanations about Yakushima made it twice or three times more enjoyable. I was also grateful that he took pictures of the two of us at key points. Having only climbed mountains around 400 meters before, the 1,400-meter elevation of the Taiko Rock course in Shiratani Unsuikyo was quite tough, but when I finally reached the top and saw a glimpse of clear skies, I truly felt the joy of trekking. I breathed in the fresh air at the summit, gazed at Mount Miyanoura in the distance, and absorbed the power of Yakushima as we began our descent. It took about three hours to go up and two hours to come back down, and looking back, it was quite hard, but I’m really glad I participated in this tour. I am grateful to Mr. Akuzawa for his support!
今回のトレッキングは、前日までの大雨もあり、現地に行かないと入山出来るかどうかわからない状態でした。ちなみに前日は入山禁止でした。不安を抱きながら現地に行くと、入山OKとの事で思わずガッツポーズが出ました。ガイドについてくれた阿久澤さんが、ガイド歴2年とは思えない程知識豊富な方で、屋久島の説明を聞きながらのトレッキングは2倍も3倍も楽しめました。又、要所要所で2人の写真を撮ってくれたのが有り難かったです。今まで400m程の山しか登った事がなかったので、白谷雲水峡の太鼓岩コースの標高1400mはかなりきつかったのですが、ようやく登り切り晴れ間ものぞいた時には、改めてトレッキングの良さを感じました。頂上で美味しい空気を沢山吸い、遠くに宮之浦岳をのぞみ、屋久島のパワーを沢山吸収して下山に向かいました。行きは3時間、帰りは2時間程かかり、振り返るとかなりハードでしたが、このツアーに参加して本当に良かったです。サポートしてくれた阿久澤さんに感謝しております!

At the start from the Arakawa Trailhead, the sky was drizzling, but as we continued walking, the rain intensified. By the time we reached Wilson Stump, it had started to rain heavily like a shower.
Still, we pressed on. After five hours of walking, we finally arrived at Jomon Sugi! I was deeply moved by the vitality of Jomon Sugi. If possible, I wanted to get closer and touch it directly.
The round trip trekking in the rain took 10 hours and was exhausting, but that’s what made it an unforgettable experience.
荒川登山口スタート時には、小雨だった空模様も歩き進むとともに激しくなり、ウィルソン切株に着いた頃には、シャワーのような雨が降り始めた。
それでも前進あるのみ。歩き始めて5時間、遂に縄文杉にたどり着いた!
縄文杉の生命力に大感動でした。
できることなら側に行って、直に触れてみたかった。
雨の中の往復10時間のトレッキングは、疲労困ぱいだったが、だからこそ忘れられない良い思い出となった。

I was looking forward to seeing Jomon Sugi, but due to heavy rain warnings, the mountain was closed. Guide Takami quickly arranged a half-day tour of the Western Forest Road for us. After driving along the World Heritage forest road, we were taken to a secret forest not mentioned in the guidebook. The untouched nature was lush, and we were able to see deer and monkeys up close, and I was overwhelmed by the gigantic banyan tree that I had never seen before. It's amazing to think that this is just one tree. The stories along the way were interesting, accurate, and I appreciate the attention to safety.
I would like to try to visit Jomon Sugi again next time.
楽しみにしていた縄文杉でしたが、大雨警報に伴い閉山に。
ガイドの高見さんには急遽半日の西部林道ツアーを組んでいただきました。
世界遺産の林道をドライブしたのち、ガイド本にも載っていない秘密の森に案内してもらいました。
手付かずの自然が生い茂っており、鹿や猿を間近に見ることができ、見たことのない巨大なガジュマルに圧倒されました。
写真のこれが一本の木のというから凄いです。
道中のお話も面白く、的確で、安全にも配慮してくださりありがとうございました。
今度また縄文杉にリベンジしたいと思います。
Thank you for your evaluation, Gajumaru.
Unfortunately, we were unable to enter the Jomon Sugi area due to a warning, but I'm really glad to hear that you were able to enjoy the other attractions.
We look forward to your next attempt to visit Jomon Sugi.
I am looking forward to seeing you again. Thank you very much.

The guide provided explanations at key points while also taking breaks, which made it more enjoyable than just walking silently. The only difficulty was that the walking speed was fast.
ガイドさんが休憩を兼ねて要所要所で説明してくれるので、黙々と歩くより楽しかったです。歩くスピードが速かったのが、唯一の難でした。

During my 3-night, 4-day trip to Yakushima, I had planned to visit Jomon Sugi on the second day, but due to a typhoon, the bus to the trailhead was not running, so it was postponed to the third day. On the day of the hike, the weather was perfect for trekking—cool and without rain. I thought the trail would be crowded with others who had postponed, but surprisingly, it was quite empty. The wait for the restroom was only about ten minutes at most, and I was able to take plenty of photos of both Wilson's stump and Jomon Sugi.
The day before, during a confirmation call from the tour company, I was unsure about what to wear, so I received advice based on real experiences, which helped me decide. On the morning of the hike, the guide picked me up at the guesthouse, and we switched to the tour company's bus to head to the trailhead (initially it was supposed to be a shuttle bus). While waiting for that bus in the dark parking lot, I was lucky to see a sky full of stars.
The path was easy to walk on since the entire trolley road has been made into a walkway (it seems they advanced the budget), and the latter part of the mountain trail had surprisingly few steep sections that would leave you breathless. With enough time, anyone can make it.
However, the key point is "if you take this much time."
1. Including breaks, it's nearly a five-hour one-way trip, and since the trolley road and wooded areas make it hard to gauge progress, if you go alone for the first time, you might not know how much longer you have to walk, which could be discouraging. With a guide, you get detailed updates on how much longer until the next point, and they engage you in conversation, which helps keep your spirits up.
2. You need to make sure you catch the return bus, so for beginners, both the ascent and descent require brisk walking (except for the steep parts). Our group (in our 20s and 30s) was the slowest among those from the same tour company, but we managed to stay within the expected time frame, enjoying breaks, photo opportunities (the photo spots were perfect! They even took panoramic shots for us), sightseeing, and icing in the river, allowing us to savor plenty of enjoyment beyond just walking.
Thank you, guide Yokota.
By the way, while some people have encountered unfortunate guides from this tour company, the guides on the same bus seemed to be good people. Most of them are probably great guides. It really comes down to luck.
3泊4日屋久島旅行のうち、2日目に縄文杉に行く予定でしたが、台風で登山口までバスが運行せず、3日目に延期になりました。
当日は、涼しく&雨も降らない絶好のトレッキング日和でした。
延期した人が集中するかと思ったら、意外と空いてて、トイレも長くて10分程度の待ち時間ですし、ウィルソン株も縄文杉も心ゆくまで写真撮れました。
前日、ツアー会社の方からの確認電話の際に、服装で迷ったので、実体験を元にアドバイスをもらい決めました。
当日朝、ガイドさんが民宿まで迎えに来て、ツアー会社のバスに乗り換え登山口まで行きました(当初はシャトルバス)。そのバスを待ってる間、真っ暗な駐車場にいたので、満天の星空が見られたのはラッキーでした。
道のりは、トロッコ道の全部に歩道できている(予算前倒ししたらしい)ので歩きやすく、後半の山道も、息を切らすような急な道は案外少なく、時間をかければ、誰でも行けます。
ただ、「この時間をかければ」がポイントで、
1.休憩含め片道5時間近くある&トロッコ道と木の中ばかりで進捗がわからないので、1人で初めて行くと、いつまで歩けばいいか分からず、きっと気持ちが折れます…。
ガイドさんがいると、細かに次のポイントまで後どのくらいか教えてくれるし、ところどころ話をしてくれるので、気持ちを保つことができます。
2.帰りのバスに間に合わないといけないので、素人からすると、登り降り共に早歩きです(急なところを除く)。
ガイドさんは、同じ旅行社の中で私どものグループ(20〜30代)が一番遅かったのですが、想定時間内で、休憩や写真撮影(写真ポイントもバッチリ!パノラマで写真撮ってくれます。)、鑑賞、川でのアイシングと、歩き以外の楽しみをたっぷり味あわせてくれました。
ガイドの横田さん、ありがとうございました。
なお、この旅行社で、残念なガイドさんに当たった方いらっしゃいましたが、同じバスに乗ったガイドさんたちは皆良い人そうでした。たぶんほとんどはいいガイドさんです。こればかりは運ですね。

Initially, there was a problem with the phone connection, but they were responsive. However, I wished there had been better communication between the company and the tour guide. The trekking was very enjoyable. I was a beginner, but since I usually exercise, it was challenging, yet I managed to have fun!
最初電話が繋がらないというトラブルがあったのですが、対応していただけました。ただ、会社と添乗員さんとの連絡をちゃんとして欲しかったです。
ただ、トレッキングはとても楽しめました
初心者でしたが、普段運動していたので大変でしたがなんとか楽しめました!

Due to the impact of the typhoon, the river swelled, leading to restrictions on walking, and there was a high possibility that we couldn't reach Taiko Rock, so we changed our plan to a tour around the island. Our guide, who is from Yakushima, was very knowledgeable, and the conversations in the car were lively, including a quiz about sea turtles. We were able to see all the highlights, such as Nagata Maehama and Inakahama, which have the highest number of sea turtle landings in Japan, as well as Yakushima monkeys and Yakushima deer in the World Heritage registered area, Ohkawa Falls, Senhiro Falls, and Hirauchi Onsen. It was a lot of fun, and I experienced how the weather can be completely different depending on the location in Yakushima. Thanks to our guide, we also had wonderful experiences like eating turtle-shaped pastries at Ryugu Castle, climbing rocks near Ohkawa Falls, and flying a fern airplane from a large, high bridge over the Anbo River.
台風の影響で川が増水し、散策制限がかかり、大雨な上、太鼓岩まで行けない可能性が高いということで島内一周の観光に変更してもらいました。
屋久島出身ガイドさんで、知識が豊富でウミガメクイズなど、車内の会話も盛り上がり、ウミガメの上陸数日本一の永田前浜・いなか浜や、
世界遺産登録地域でヤクシマザル、ヤクシカを見たり、大川の滝、千尋の滝、平内海中温泉、見所は全部制覇できて、楽しかったです。
屋久島は場所によって雨が降ったり降らなかったり天候が全然違うことが体験できました。
またガイドさんのおかげで、龍宮城でかめ焼きを食べたり、大川の滝では、滝の近くまで岩を攻めたり、安房川にかかる大きな高い橋から、シダの飛行機を飛ばしたりと、素敵な体験もたくさんできました。

As part of our honeymoon activities, we participated in this tour.
Overall, I am extremely satisfied! I am really glad to have joined this tour.
The tour guides from the tourism association were all very kind and gentle. Both the person who answered the phone and the guides were calm and reassuring, which made me feel at ease.
Regarding the tour, due to weather conditions, the plans for the first and second days were switched. I received a call about this first. They accurately reported, communicated, and consulted about the situation, and their subsequent handling was efficient and clear, allowing us to adapt to the sudden changes without hesitation.
One point to note is that this tour reflects the individual personalities of the guides quite a bit.
Some guides consider the participants' physical fitness and adjust the pace accordingly, while others walk at a steady pace. Some take photos at each tour point, while others hardly take any. Some explain to the entire tour group, while others only explain to those close to them. Depending on the participant, the latter type of guide might not be a good fit. I was fortunate to have the former type during the Jomon Sugi trekking, as we were able to progress with appropriate breaks, but honestly, if I had the latter type for the Jomon Sugi trekking, it would have been physically challenging.
Still, the reason I give a rating of 5 is that both guides had truly wonderful personalities. I was able to create unforgettable memories with two people I would love to meet again. Thank you very much!
新婚旅行のアクティビティとして、今回のツアーに参加させていただきました。
全体的な感想としては、大満足!
こちらのツアーに参加させていただけて、本当に良かったです。
ツアーガイドをして下さった観光協会の方達はとても親切で優しい方達ばかりでした。電話応対をして下さった方も、ガイドの方も、皆さん穏やかで、ほっとするようなお人柄で安心できました。
ツアーに関して、今回は天候の影響で、1日目と2日目のプランが入れ替わりました。その事について、まずお電話を頂きました。状況を正確に報告、連絡、相談して下さり、その後の対応も無駄がなく、わかりやすいものだったおかげで、急な変更にも迷わず、問題なく対応する事ができました。
1点、注意事項をあげるとしたら、このツアーはガイドさんの個性がかなり反映されるということです。
参加者の体力などを考慮してペース配分をして下さる方もいれば、淡々と歩かれる方もいます。写真撮影をツアーポイントごとにして下さる方もいれば、ほとんどしない方もいます。ツアーグループ全体に説明をして下さる方もいれば、ガイドさんの側にいる方にしか説明をされない方もいます。参加者によっては、後者のタイプのガイドさんは、本当に合わないと思います。縄文杉トレッキングでは前者の方にお世話になり、適度な休憩を挟みながら進んで行けたので良かったのですが、正直なところ、縄文杉トレッキングが後者の方だと、体力的に辛かったと思います。
それでも、私が評価5をつけるのはなぜかというと、どちらのガイドさんも本当に素敵なお人柄だったからです。また会いたいと思えるようなお二人に案内して頂けて、一生忘れない思い出を作ることができました。本当にありがとうございました!

I participated on the second day of a 2-night, 3-day trip. I wanted to visit both Jomon Sugi and Shiratani Unsuikyo (Taiko Rock), and while searching, I found this course. There wasn't a course that allowed me to go to Taiko Rock on the second day for Jomon Sugi and the third day for Shiratani Unsuikyo, but with this greedy course, I could conquer both in one day! I think it's a recommended course for those who find it a bit tough to wake up early two days in a row or for those with a short travel duration.
Starting from Shiratani Unsuikyo, we went up to Taiko Rock, then merged onto the trolley path of the Jomon Sugi course to reach Jomon Sugi, and returned via the trolley path to the Arakawa Trailhead. We started walking at 5:40 and descended at 16:20, completing about 11 hours and approximately 24 kilometers. I think it's quite a hard course, but no one retired, and everyone made it to the end!
Above all, our guide, Shimozono, was incredibly surreal and funny, making the time fly by. At 67 years old, he seemed to be the most senior among the guides and has the longest guiding history. Being a veteran, he provided various explanations about the cedars and shared stories about Yakushima. While it's possible to climb without a guide, I recommend joining a guided course as you can hear explanations and they can adjust the time allocation for you.
Also, it was a relief that the weather was clear the whole time! I had heard that Yakushima has a lot of rain, so I bought an expensive Gore-Tex raincoat to take with me, but it didn't get used at all. It's a bit disappointing... a luxurious worry, though (laughs). If you're going to Yakushima, I highly recommend visiting not just Jomon Sugi but also Taiko Rock! This course is highly recommended! ☆★
2泊3日旅行の2日目に参加しました。
縄文杉・白谷雲水峡(太鼓岩)どちらも行きたくて探してたら、このコースを見つけました。
2日目に縄文杉コース、3日目に白谷雲水峡コースだと太鼓岩まで行けるコースがありませんでしたが、この欲張りコースだと1日で両方制覇できます‼
2日続けて早起きはちょっと…って思う人、旅行日数が短い人にはオススメのコースだと思います。
白谷雲水峡から上り、太鼓岩、その後縄文杉コースのトロッコ道に合流し縄文杉、帰りはトロッコ道を通り荒川登山口へ下山しました。
5:40に歩き始め、16:20に下山できたので約11時間、約24キロを歩ききりました。
中々ハードなコースだと思いますが、リタイアもなく、みんな歩ききれました‼
なによりガイドのシモゾノさんがめっちゃシュールでおもしろかったので、時間があっとゆーまに過ぎました。
67歳でガイドの中では1番先輩らしく、ガイド歴も1番長いとのことです。
ベテランだけあって、色々な杉の説明や屋久島のお話をしてくださりました。
ガイドをつけなくても登れますが、ガイド付きのコースに参加した方が説明も聞けるし、時間配分も調整してくれるので、オススメだと思います。
またずっと晴天だったのが、助かりました‼
屋久島は雨が多いと聞いていたので、ゴアテックスの高いカッパを買って持って行ってたのに、全く出番ナシでした。
ちょっと残念です…贅沢な悩みですが(笑)
屋久島に行くなら縄文杉だけじゃなく、太鼓岩にもぜひぜひ行ってもらいたいです‼
このコースとてもオススメです☆★

Due to the approaching typhoon, heavy rain was forecasted for the next day. I was planning to participate alone, but feeling anxious, I contacted the guide to cancel. However, since it was not yet decided to cancel the tour for the next day, I was informed that charges would apply. Additionally, I was told that details about cancellation or operation should be checked with the agency, but the agency had already closed for the day. It was rainy the next day. It was unclear whether the tour was conducted, but there were restrictions on entry to the site until around 10 AM. In the end, the charges were not refunded. It seems that one needs to be prepared for the possibility that activities affected by weather cannot be canceled.
台風接近で、翌日は大雨予報。
ひとりで参加予定でしたが、不安になりガイドへキャンセルの連絡をいれるも、翌日は中止が決まっていないので、料金が発生するとのこと。
また、中止、催行の詳細は取次店へとのことでしたが、既に取次店は閉店時間。
翌日は雨。ツアーが催行したのかは不明ですが、現地への入場は午前10時くらいまでと制限があったとのこと。
結局、料金は戻らず。
天気に左右されるアクティビティはキャンセル出来ないこともあると覚悟が必要なようです。
