The dynamism of the Yakusugi, the refreshing feeling of the hiking trail, and the fatigue were as expected, but I was pleasantly surprised by the deliciousness of the miso soup that the guide generously provided to the participants. It was a day filled with gratitude for such wonderful hospitality.
屋久杉の躍動感、登山道の爽快感、そして疲労感、予想通りでしたが ガイドの方が無料で参加者に配布してくれた 味噌汁の美味しさは 予想外の美味しさと ありがたい おもてなしに感謝した1日でした。

I participated despite feeling unwell, but the guide was so interesting that everyone was sore from trekking to Jomon Sugi, yet we forgot our fatigue and had a great time. The guide even showed us how to take photos and provided items, making it a fun tour for the ladies! You definitely should go to Taiko Rock in the morning! The guide, Tsumagari, was really great!
体調不良での参加でしたが、ガイドさんがおもしろくて、みんな縄文杉の筋肉痛でしんどかったけど、疲れを忘れとても楽しいトレッキングでした。写真の撮り方とか、アイテムまで出してくれて、女子には嬉しい楽しいツアーでした!太鼓岩は絶対朝から行くべきです!!ガイドのつまがりさんめっちゃ良かったです!!

I thought it might be impossible, but I'm glad I was able to go without any issues. At first, I thought there might be too few breaks, but later I realized it was good to go at the pace set by the guide. This tour is highly recommended as it uses a chartered bus without needing to transfer at the Nature Museum. Our guide, Mr. Oki, was excellent. I would like to request him again if I come back to Yakushima.
無理かもと思っていたけど無事に行けてよかったです。休憩少ないかもと最初は思ったけど、ガイドさんまかせのペースでよかったと後で思いました。このツアーは自然館で乗り換えることなく貸切バスなので、本当にオススメです。ガイドの大木さんはとても良いガイドさんでした。また屋久島に来たらお願いしたいです。

The talks about the history of the forests in Yakushima were great, and we were able to go at our own pace, relaxing by the river and enjoying services we wouldn't have thought of ourselves.

It seems that the only course that covers Shiratani Unsuikyo, Taiko Rock, Wilson Stump, and Jomon Sugi in one day is this one from Veltra. The meeting time is at 4:30 AM, and we disband around 5 PM to 6 PM. Whether you choose just the Shiratani Unsuikyo course or just the Jomon Sugi course, you will still experience muscle soreness the next day. In that case, it might be better to do it all at once (laughs).
However, this course is for those who are physically fit and confident in their stamina, as it is designed for the chosen ones. I, who honestly underestimated it and don’t usually exercise much, ended up waiting at Wilson Stump while the other members went on to Jomon Sugi. I was satisfied that I was able to reach Taiko Rock (which was incredibly beautiful on that clear day) – it felt like a miracle.
Also, I felt it was great to have a guide because they not only know the paths well but also consider the pace. Before the tougher climbs like Taiko Rock and Jomon Sugi, they suggested leaving our backpacks behind (which is something beginners might not think of). Thank you, Mr. Shimozono. I look forward to your help again next time! ^^*
1日で白谷雲水峡~太鼓岩~ウィルソン株~縄文杉を巡るのは、ベルトラのこちらのコースだけのようです。
朝4時半集合で、解散は17時~18時くらい。
白谷雲水峡だけのコースでも、縄文杉だけのコースでも、翌日筋肉痛になるのは変わりません。でしたら、1回で済ませた方がよろしいかと(笑)
ただし、日頃から運動していたりして、体力に自信のある、選ばれし者たちのコースでもあります。
日頃大した運動もせず、正直舐めてた私は、ウィルソン株手前で他のメンバーが縄文杉まで行ってくるのを待つことに。太鼓岩(晴れ渡ってめちゃくちゃ綺麗だった)まで行けたのも奇跡だったので満足しています。
また、ガイドを頼んでよかったなぁと感じるのは、道に詳しいのはもちろんのこと、ペース配分を考えてくれることです。太鼓岩や縄文杉など厳しめの登りの前には、ザックなどの荷物を置いていくようにしてくれたり(意外と素人は考えつきません)。
下園さん、お世話になりました。またお世話になるときにはよろしくお願いします^^*

Even as a family of beginner hikers, we were able to see Jomon Sugi! The encouragement from our guide and the fact that the weather improved despite the forecast of heavy rain was truly amazing. If I had to be picky, the guide's explanations were a bit lacking, and there wasn't much time for taking photos, which prevented it from being completely satisfying. However, we did encounter monkeys, making it a fun memory overall.
登山初心者の家族でも縄文杉を見る事が出来ました!ガイドさんの励ましや大雨の予報で降ってたにも関わらず天気の回復予測も当たっていて凄いの一言でした。欲を言えばガイドさんの解説が少ないのと写真を撮る時間があまり無かったことが大満足にならなかった要因です。でも猿にも遭遇したりと楽しい思い出になりました。

I believe many people trek without a guide, but the explanations from the guide at various landmarks are truly wonderful. Even when walking the same path, it feels like each step has its own meaning, which doubles the enjoyment. The scenery is reminiscent of "Princess Mononoke," and for a moment, it made me forget the passage of time.
確かにガイドさんなしにトレッキングをなさるかたも多くおられるかと思いますが、ガイドさんからところどころ名所での説明は、やはりすばらしいものがあります。同じ道を行くにも一つ一つ意味があるような気分になり楽しさ倍増でした。本当に景色は、もののけ姫のようで、しばし、時を忘れ忘れさせてくれました。

On my first trip to Yakushima, I finally went trekking to Jomon Sugi, which I had been longing to do. I thought it was early when I had a 4:10 AM pickup, but I was so happy to be going to Jomon Sugi that I managed to wake up early.
Before departure, I had a breakfast bento and did some stretching! Walking along the tramway while watching the sunrise and surrounded by beautiful green nature, I enjoyed delicious spring water along the way. After about five and a half hours, I finally reached the long-awaited Jomon Sugi!
Trekking surrounded by many Yakusugi trees was filled with emotions that I can't fully express here. The power of Jomon Sugi is incredible! Thank you to the guide from the Yakushima Guide Association.
初めての屋久島で、念願の縄文杉トレッキングに行きました。朝、4:10のピックアップで、早い〜って思ってましたが、縄文杉に行けることが嬉しく、頑張って早起きしました。
出発前に朝のお弁当を食べ、ストレッチをして出発!
トロッコ道を歩きながら朝日を見て、キレイな緑の自然の中を歩き、途中で美味しい湧き水を飲みながら、約5時間半かけて、やっと念願の縄文杉に辿り着きました!

I highly recommend participating in the economical plan that allows you to climb all at once! Even if you're not very confident in your physical strength, if you do a little exercise regularly, I suggest visiting not only Jomon Sugi but also Shiratani Unsuikyo since you're going there anyway.
I am in my early 30s, and my mother is 60 years old; we went to experience the world heritage site that my mother had dreamed of. During the descent, my mother was even more energetic than I was. For us, it was better to do it in one day rather than splitting it into two.

We were taken care of by a tour guide for a family of three, including our 9-year-old son. We started with a pickup at the hotel at 5 AM. We began from the back of the line, and it seemed we might not have much time. Nevertheless, the guide shared stories about Yakushima and cedar trees at various points, and we were able to take commemorative photos as well. Along the way, we were continuously moved, and the Jomon Sugi was truly magnificent. However, what impressed me the most was the guide's ability to make our amateur team, including my son, feel like we had accomplished something on our own. I am grateful and deeply moved by the professionalism and generosity of the guide. Thanks to them, we were able to complete the round trip of 22 km within a set time. Thank you very much.

I had only done hiking before, so I was a bit anxious about my first real trekking experience. However, we started by walking along a flat trolley path, and along the way, we encountered Japanese macaques and sika deer, which made the journey feel quite relaxed. I thought, "Oh? If it's like this, it should be easy!" But that turned out to be a big mistake.
After a while, it turned into real mountain climbing, and there were tough moments. Thankfully, our guide took breaks at just the right times and stopped to explain various things, which helped me manage to complete the trek. Looking back now, climbing the corridor to see the Jomon Sugi was really tough on my knees. But it was worth the effort, as I finally got to see the Jomon Sugi, which I had longed to see.
By the way, this tour had a direct bus to the trailhead, so I was able to rest a bit on the bus, which helped conserve my energy. If you go on your own, you would have to take a local bus, and depending on the time of year, like in July, there seemed to be quite a line at the bus stop. Not everyone waiting could get on the bus when it arrived, so there might be some waiting time. I think it's easier for first-timers to go with a tour.
今までハイキング程度しか行ったことがなく、初の本格的なトレッキングだったんで最初は不安だったんですが、まずはず~っと平坦なトロッコ道を歩きつつ、途中にはヤクザルやヤクシカも出てきて、穏やかに進んでいったので「あれ?こんな感じだったら全然余裕やん!。」って思っていたんですがこれが大きな間違いでした。。。途中から本当の[山登り]になっていき、しんどい時もありましたが、ガイドさんが絶妙のタイミングで休憩をとってくれたり、また立ち止まっていろいろな説明をしてくれたので、なんとか歩き切ることができました。今、思い返してみると最後の縄文杉を見るための回廊を上るのが膝がガクガクで本当に大変でした。でも頑張った甲斐があり、念願だった縄文杉を見ることができました。ちなみのこのツアーは登山口まで直行のバスだったので、睡眠もバスの中で若干できて体力温存にはなりました。自分達で行くとなると路線バスに乗るしかなく、7月という時期にもよるかもしれませんがバス停の前を通るとかなり並んでいてバスが来たからといって並んでる人全員が乗り切れてるわけじゃなく、待ち時間も多少あったみたいでした。初めての人は無難にツアーで行った方が楽だと思います。

I participated with my father, mother, and elementary school-aged son. I (the mother) was not confident in my physical strength, and I wasn't sure if my fourth-grade son could walk the whole way, so we joined this tour.
As a result, it was a great decision. We had a truly wonderful experience! The trolley path on the way was monotonous, and my son started to slow down early on. However, the guide spoke to the children multiple times and walked slowly while sharing stories about plants and nature, which helped us get through it.
If it had been a regular tour, I think it would have turned into a stressful trekking experience where I would have had to scold my child for disturbing the other participants, leaving both of us with bitter memories. Once we entered the mountain path, my child was full of energy (laughs).
The guide adjusted the pace while observing us, and we were able to meet the Jomon Sugi safely. We enjoyed nature on the way back and had a fun walk until the end! It was great to hear various stories about Yakushima, Yakusugi, and plants.
Thank you, Iwakawa-san, for being a wonderful guide. The passion fruit was delicious!
父、母、小学生の家族3人で参加しました。私(母)は体力に自信がなく、小学4年生の息子も最後まで歩けるかわからなかったので、こちらのツアーに参加しました。

On the day of the tour, there was a tremendous thunderstorm, but the guide was very careful and took us to our destination, Taiko Rock. I was really happy because I only had one chance to do this. This tour offers rentals for shoes, raincoats, and backpacks, which are all items that would be a waste to buy since they are only used once, so I appreciated that. At the port where we arrived, they helped us with sizing for the shoes and saved us the trouble of going to the rental shop.

I read in reviews from those who experienced it that you can enjoy the tranquility of the forest in the early morning, so I requested the early morning tour. We departed from the hotel at 5 AM, had our lunch at the Shiratani Unsuikyo parking lot, and then went trekking. In the Forest of Mononoke, they set up a kotodama for us to take photos, and they provided detailed explanations about the forest's ecology and plants, making it a fun climb up to Taiko Rock. We took a lot of photos and were very satisfied. Climbing early allows you to enjoy Taiko Rock without crowds, so you can take photos without waiting, which is great.
体験された方の口コミから、早朝の方が森の静けさを独占出来るとあったので早朝ツアーを希望しました。朝5時にホテルを出発、白谷雲水峡の駐車場でお弁当を食べてからトレッキング。もののけの森ではコトダマをセットして撮影させてくれたり、森の生態や植物の説明まで詳しく案内して頂いて、楽しく太鼓岩まで登れました。写真もたくさん撮ってもらって大満足でした。早い時間に登ると太鼓岩も空いていて、写真も待たずに撮れるから良いですよ。

Thanks to our veteran guide, we had a wonderful day. It was a tight schedule, so I was worried about whether we could walk the whole way, but we made it to Jomon Sugi safely. If it had just been us, we might have given up along the way. If the opportunity arises, I would definitely like to walk again.
ベテランのガイドさんのおかげで、楽しい一日を過ごしました。厳しいスケジュールだったので、全部歩けるか不安でしたが、無事、縄文杉まで行けました。私たちだけでは、途中で諦めていたかもしれません。
機会があれば、是非また、歩きたいです。

I saw the Jomon Sugi, which I had been longing to see, on my first trekking experience. The guide was very kind and considerate. There were some quite challenging parts, but we were blessed with good weather, and the tour lasted for 11 hours as planned, from early morning until evening. I was a bit tired, but I am grateful for the memorable encounters with the many Yakusugi trees. Thank you!
初めてのトレッキングで念願であった縄文杉を見てきました。
ガイドはとても親切な方で、色々気遣っていただきました。
かなりきつい所もありましたが、天候にも恵まれ早朝から夕刻まで予定通り11時間のツアーでした。少々疲れましたが思い出に残る屋久杉の数々との遭遇、ありがとうございました。

I signed up at the last minute, but there were two other participants, and we had a great time climbing together. They took care to adjust the pace according to our physical condition, and we climbed to Taiko Rock while enjoying various explanations, capturing many wonderful photos! It was reassuring to be guided by a veteran. After checking if we still had the energy, they took us to a special spot that was particularly beautiful. It seemed to be just before the busy summer season, so we really enjoyed it and had a fantastic trip.
ギリギリに申し込んだのですが、お一人の参加の方が他に2人いて、楽しく登れました。体調に合わせてペースなど配慮していただき、ゆっくり色々解説しながら太鼓岩まで登り、素敵な写真もたくさん取れました❗️ベテランの方にガイドしていただいたので、安心でした。体力が残っていればと聞いてくださった後に連れて行ってもらった、とっておきの場所が特に素敵でした。今はまだ夏の繁忙期より少し前だったようで、堪能でき本当に良い旅となりました。

I really wanted to reach Jomon Sugi, and although I felt it was reckless since I had no experience with trekking, I thought that hiring a private guide might help, so I decided to participate. From the moment I made the decision until I started walking, I was constantly anxious, but once I got off the bus, something changed. The atmosphere, or rather, the air felt different. The trolley path was refreshing, giving a sense of being surrounded by nature that was unlike any ordinary mountain. Moreover, the guide was incredibly attentive, teaching us everything from shoe advice to walking techniques, as well as explanations about the forest and trees. I could really feel their love for nature. There were so many moving moments on the way to Jomon Sugi. Every tree, small cedar, and fallen log was wonderful. It wasn't just about reaching the summit and coming back. I felt like I connected with nature for about ten years' worth of experiences. Jomon Sugi felt a bit distant, but I hope it can remain the master of the forest for as long as possible. Thank you, Takada-san, for helping with this challenge in my 50s and 60s!!! I'm grateful.
とにかく縄文杉にたどり着きたく、まるでトレッキングには無縁で、無謀とは思いましたが、
プライベートでガイドさんをお願いしたら、どうにかなるのではと思い、参加しました。
決めた時から、歩きだすまで常に不安でしたが、バスを降りた頃からか、何だか変わっていましたね。雰囲気をいうか、やはり空気が違います。トロッコ道も新鮮で普通の山とはまた違った「自然に囲まれた」感じとでもいうのでしょうか。しかも、ガイドさんが、至れり尽くせり、シューズのことから、歩き方、森や木々の説明まで、いろいろ教えてくれました。自然への愛をとても感じました。縄文杉まで着く間にもいっぱい感動がありました。どの木々や小杉、倒木もすてきでした。登頂して帰ってくるだけではありませんでした。10年分くらいの自然に触れ合えた気がします。縄文杉は少し遠く感じましたが、できるだけいつまでも森の主でいてほしいと思いました。 50,60歳すぎのチャレンジを助けてくれた高田さん、ありがとうございました!!!感謝です。
Dear Papuafriend,
I hope you are doing well despite the ongoing hot days. Yakushima has been unusually sunny, and the forest is eagerly awaiting the blessing of rain.
Thank you for your feedback. I could sense from your writing that you truly experienced and enjoyed the forests of Yakushima! I am very pleased that you highlighted not only the famous Jomon Sugi (Yakusugi) but also the moss, streams, and nameless trees. Although my guidance was humble, I appreciate the opportunity to connect you with the nature of Yakushima. If the chance arises, I would love to guide you through the forests of Yakushima again.
Please forgive my delayed response due to the busy season.
Hideaki Takada
P.S. Japan has a wealth of wonderful nature, so I hope you continue your journey to experience nature, starting with Yakushima.

I apologize for the late post.
As a woman in my 30s participating alone, I can say that this was an absolutely wonderful tour. It was a trekking experience with our guide and six participants, including a couple and sisters, and we were blessed with great weather, making it a memorable experience!
About ten years ago, I had a traumatic experience on Mount Fuji and vowed never to go near a mountain again. I truly hadn't approached one since, but when the opportunity to visit Yakushima came up, I decided to face my trauma and participate, albeit with some apprehension. This experience made me realize the importance of having a good guide.
The pacing, explanations about the plants, and various considerations were truly outstanding. While it would be a lie to say I didn't get tired at all, the breaks and encouragement (like jokes) at just the right moments were greatly appreciated. Of course, the greatness of Jomon Sugi was impressive, but I also enjoyed the natural scenery along the way and was able to capture great photos at various spots while having fun!
Reflecting on my unforgettable experience from ten years ago on Mount Fuji, I remember it being tough, with a large group (around 20 people?) and feeling left behind, which still lingers in my mind. Because of that, I had distanced myself from mountains, and I now feel that I have truly missed out. This experience reinforced the importance of choosing the right tour company.
This time, I felt that I would like to go again, which was very positive. I look forward to the next opportunity!

30代1人女性での参加でしたが結論から言うと、とても素晴らしいツアーでした。
ガイドさん、参加者の姉妹とご夫婦の6名でのトレッキングでしたがガイドさんにも参加者にもお天気にも恵まれ、最高の思い出となりました!
約10年前に富士山のトラウマから、二度と山には近づかないと誓い
本当に近づいていませんでしたが今回屋久島へ行くことになりせっかくなので・・とトラウマと戦いながら&身構えながらの参加でしたが、ガイドさんの大切さをあらためて感じました。
ペース配分や植物の説明にもろもろの気遣いなど本当に素晴らしいものでした。
全然疲れなかったといえば嘘になりますが、疲れたなと思ったタイミングでの休憩・励まし(ジョークなど)、先読みして気遣っていただいている感じがとてもありがたかったです。
縄文杉の偉大さはもちろんですが、
行く途中の自然も楽しみながら写真スポットはしっかり抑えて楽しく進むことができました!
富士山の忘れもしない10年前を振り返ると、しんどい・大人数(20人くらい?)・置いてけぼり、のようなトラウマがあり今も強く残っているのですが、そのせいで山を離れていたこともあったので本当に今まで損をしていたなという気持ちとツアーの会社選びは大事だと今回感じました。
今回、「もう一回行きたい」と思えたこと、とても良かったです。
また是非宜しくお願いします。

I suddenly decided to take a solo trip to Yakushima. I wanted to see Jomon Sugi, but I was worried about what might happen along the way if I was alone, so I requested a guide. Since the guests were just a couple staying in Miyano-ura and me staying in Awa, I think we were able to communicate in a cozy atmosphere. Also, our guide, Nakaji-san, was a veteran and very reliable, so I was glad I could participate without feeling isolated. It seems that the pickup times differ by 30 minutes between Miyano-ura and Awa, so as various sites suggest, if you find early mornings tough, I recommend staying in Awa.
I usually run, so I wasn't worried about walking for a long time, but the tramway path was indeed difficult to walk on, and I ended up looking at my feet to avoid spraining my ankle (which is understandable). Additionally, it seems there was an emergency transport this time, and the tram was dispatched. I was moved to see that a tram actually runs on that tramway, which is something so obvious yet still impressive (I apologize for the blurry photo).
Next time, I definitely want to enjoy the night and morning at Jomon Sugi with an overnight stay.
急遽思い立っての屋久島一人旅。縄文杉は見たいけれど、ひとりでは途中で何かあった時が心配だな、と思いガイドをお願いしました。
ゲストは宮之浦宿泊のご夫婦と安房宿泊の私だけだったのでこじんまりとコミュニケーションが取れたと思います。また、ガイドの中路さんはベテランでとても頼もしく、一人でも疎外感を感じずに参加できたのでよかったです。宮之浦と安房ではピックアップ時刻が30分違うようで、いろんなサイトでも案内されている通り、朝早いのがつらい方は安房宿泊をお薦めします。
普段から走っているので長時間の歩きは心配していませんでしたが、やはりトロッコ道が歩きづらく捻挫を恐れて足元ばかりをみて歩くことになってしまいました(これは仕方ないですね)。また、今回、救急搬送があったようでトロッコが出動していました。あのトロッコ道を本当にトロッコが走るのだ、と当然のことなのに感動しました(写真がボケていて申し訳ありません)。
次回は是非1泊で縄文杉の夜と朝を楽しみたいと思います。
