We participated as a couple in our 50s. The tour had six people, and everyone was nice, so we never got bored along the way. By the end, our feet were sore, but we had a satisfying trekking experience. The guide was a woman with extensive knowledge, and we learned a lot. She also took many photos, which became precious memories for us.
50代夫婦で参加させてもらいました。
ツアーは6人で、みなさんいい方達で道中飽きることなく、最後は足が痛かったですが、満足いくトレッキングできました。
ガイドさんは女性でしたが、知識が豊富で、色々と勉強になりました。写真もたくさん撮って頂き、大切な思い出になりました。

A two-day, one-night trip to Yakushima. I was researching how to visit Yakusugi Land and the Jomon Sugi in the limited time I had on the afternoon of the first day when I discovered this tour. With the local bus, you can only visit either Yakusugi Land or Jomon Sugi, and I was also considering using a taxi for one way, so I decided immediately after seeing the tour price.
It was really helpful to leave my large luggage on the bus and enjoy sightseeing, and I appreciated being taken to my hotel in the Onojima area after the tour.
Additionally, I was grateful for the guide's consideration for guests who could only walk slowly. Having a guide made it easy to understand the highlights, and if I have the opportunity to visit Yakushima again, I would like to join the morning course as well. Thank you very much.
一泊二日の屋久島旅行。初日の午後から限られた時間でヤクスギランドと紀元杉をいかにして回ろうかとリサーチしていたところこのツアーを発見。路線バスではヤクスギランドか紀元杉のどちらかしか回れず、片道はタクシー利用も考えていたのでツアー代金を見て即決。
雨がパラつく中、大きな荷物をバスにおいて観光できたのと、ツアー後に尾之間エリアのホテルまで送っていただけたのは本当に助かりました。
また、ガイドさんの、ゆっくりしか歩けないゲストへの気配り心配りもありがたかったです。案内が付くことで見どころもよくわかり、また屋久島に行く機会があれば、午前のコースにも参加したいです。
ありがとうございました。

The weather forecast predicted rain. When I arrived at the trailhead, there was a rainbow! The sun also peeked through. It rained for about two hours on the way back. I was anxious about participating alone, but everyone in the same group was also participating solo, which made it fun. As we walked, we learned various things from the guide about Yakushima and the Yakusugi trees, which made the experience even more enjoyable. Along the way, there were multiple water points, and the taste of the water was amazing! I encountered deer and monkeys!! I fully enjoyed the great outdoors. I want to go again. The sense of accomplishment after walking for 10 hours was even more enjoyable with friends!

Waking up at 3 AM, the long trek on the cart path, the tough mountain climbing, and finally seeing the size of Jomon Sugi was truly moving. Even though it was beyond the fence, I was overwhelmed by its presence, having lived there since ancient times. All my fatigue disappeared, and I was just so glad to have come.
We were part of a group of about eight people, including a veteran guide full of love for Yakushima and a newcomer who had moved to Yakushima. At first, the walking pace felt a bit fast, but considering the long journey and the frequent breaks, the time management was excellent.
The guide's stories about Yakushima's nature and history were very interesting.
朝3時起き、長いトロッコ道、キツイ山登り、その先に会えた縄文杉の大きさに感動でした。柵の向こうだけど、太古の昔からそこに生き続けている存在感には圧倒されました。疲れも吹っ飛び、ただただ、来れて良かった。
屋久島愛に溢れたベテランガイドさんと屋久島に移住した新人ガイドさんと参加者の人達8人くらい?のグループでした。最初は歩くペースが早い気もしましたが道のり長いし、休憩もこまめに取るためで、時間配布としては申し分なかったです。
屋久島の自然や歴史等のガイドさんの話がとても面白かったです。

The weather was favorable, and I was able to complete the hike much more easily than I expected. I had been concerned about leeches, but there were no leeches or even mosquitoes, and I wasn't bitten by any bugs at all. There were cold and delicious spring waters available everywhere, making it easy to gather water, but I was worried about a lack of salt, so I brought salt tablets for heatstroke prevention.
There might be fewer toilets than expected for the length of the journey, with one at the trailhead and one along the trolley path. There are occasionally spaces for portable toilets, so those who are concerned might want to bring one. I have a sensitive stomach, so I felt a bit uneasy when my stomach got cold from sweating, and I thought I should have brought something. If you're using trekking poles, I found it easier to walk with one pole rather than two. I ordered lunch boxes for both breakfast and lunch, but the portions might be a bit too much for women. I felt it was just right to split one into breakfast and lunch. Depending on the situation, there might be things you can't do, but I really appreciated being able to stop by the river on the way back to cool my feet. After that, my steps felt much lighter. I was also grateful for the miso soup provided during lunch. Thank you very much.
天気に恵まれたこともあり、思ったよりもかなり楽に踏破できました。ヒル対策を考えていましたが、ヒルどころか蚊もおらず一切虫に刺されませんでした。至る所で冷たくておいしい湧水がくめるので水の調達は簡単ですが、塩分不足が心配なので、熱中症対策のために私は塩タブレットを持参しました。
トイレは登山口、トロッコ道の途中にひとつ、山に入る前にひとつと行程の長さのわりには少ないかもしれません。携帯トイレ用のスペースは時々あるので、心配な人は携帯トイレを持参した方が良いかもしれません。私はお腹が弱いので、汗でお腹が冷えてきて途中少し不安になり、持参すれば良かったと思いました。ストックを使う場合は2本より1本の方が歩きやすかったです。お弁当を朝昼両方注文しましたが、ちょっと女性には量が多いかもしれません。私はひとつを朝昼に分けて食べるくらいでちょうど良いと感じました。おそらく状況によってできないこともあると思いますが、帰路に川に立ち寄って足を冷やさせてもらえたのがすごく良かったです。その後とても足取りが軽くなりました。ランチの時にお味噌汁を配っていただけたのもありがたかったです。ありがとうございました。

[Overall Tour]
The balance was great, and I really enjoyed the forest. Monkeys and deer occasionally appeared right in front of us, allowing for close observation.
I opted for a rental plan this time. They brought the equipment the day before departure, and I was able to try on the sizes.
[Difficulty]
I have zero mountain climbing experience and consider myself not very fit, but I decided to go for it. (laughs)
Since the ascent and descent time for the Jomon Sugi course is limited, we had to maintain a steady pace. The trolley part was fine, but the mountain path was hard for beginners.
[Guide]
Our guide was Saito, a veteran who was born and raised in Yakushima. He was excellent.
He shared not only knowledge about the mountains and forests but also tips on photography.
He adjusted the pace of the tour and break timings while observing the situation of the climbing group to avoid crowded popular photo spots. Thanks to him, I was able to take beautiful pictures.
Additionally, before we started climbing the main mountain path, he assessed the climbing experience of the group members on a short trail and adjusted the order of ascent and descent.
[Equipment]
Wearing comfortable shoes that are slip-resistant on the mountain path is very important! If you don’t have any, I recommend renting climbing shoes instead of buying new ones.
I saw someone in their 20s who sprained their ankle wearing sneakers on the day.
Even if you have rain gear, a folding umbrella is necessary. It’s useful for when it rains or when eating lunch outdoors... (laughs)
[Others]
Hotel: It takes over an hour for various pickups and to receive lunch boxes. Since the early morning is quite early, I think staying at a hotel in Awa is better for those who want to sleep a bit more.
[ツアー全体]
バランスがよく、森をいっぱい楽しませました。猿と鹿も時々目の前に現れ、近距離で観察できました。
今回レンタル付きプランにしてました。出発前日装備を持って来てくれて、サイズ試しもできました。
[ハードさ]
登山経験ゼロ、体力もないほうと思いますが、思い切り申し込みました。笑
縄文杉コースの上下山時間が制限されているため、どうしても一定な進行ペースを保たないといけません。トロッコの部分は大丈夫でしたが、山道は初心者にとってハードでした。
[ガイドさん]
サイトウさんという屋久島生まれ育ちのベテランガイドさんでした。とても良かったです。
山や森の知識もちろん、撮影方法ま教えてもらいました。
当時登山グループの状況を見ながら、人気撮影スポットの込み具合を避けて、ツアーのペースや休憩タイミングを調整してました。おかげ様で、きれいな写真を撮れました。
また、本番山道登る前に、短い山道で当日メンバーの山登り経験を見極めて、上下山の並び順を調整してました。
[装備]
履き慣れて、山道でもすべりにくいがとても大事です!持ってない場合、新しく買うより、レンタルの登山靴がおすすめです。
当日スニーカーで捻挫した20代の方が見かけました。
レインウェアあっても、折り畳み傘が必要です。雨のとき、露天でお弁当食べるとき用…笑
[その他]
ホテル:色んなところの迎えや、お弁当の受け取りなど含め、あれこれ1時間以上かかります。早朝結構早いので、少しでも多く寝たい方は安房のホテルがいいと思います。

It seems that the guides had discussions among themselves and organized the groups by targeting specific age ranges. They made sure that I, being the oldest, could walk right behind the guide. Thanks to that consideration, I was able to reach Jomon Sugi safely. I am grateful to have encountered Jomon Sugi, a once-in-a-lifetime experience. There was some discord within the group, as there seemed to be a complainer who had misunderstood things.

The weather forecast predicted rain. Yakushima is mostly rainy throughout the year. With low expectations, I packed my rain gear and boarded the high-speed ferry. Upon arriving at the port, while walking to my accommodation, I received a reassuring call from the person in charge confirming the meeting time, location, and items to bring.
The next morning, a bus arrived at 4 AM to pick us up, but it was fully booked due to Golden Week. As soon as I sat down, the guide greeted us. He was very experienced and seemed to know everything about Yakushima, answering any questions we had with confidence.
We walked 8 kilometers along the tracks of the trolley train from the trailhead, and the guide's stories about Yakushima's nature, history, and the characteristics of the Yakusugi trees were continuous and informative. The walking pace was adjusted for beginners, which minimized fatigue. Thanks to that, I was able to finally meet the Jomon Sugi. We hardly encountered any rain, and occasionally we could see blue skies. Thank you for a truly wonderful memory.
天気予報は雨。1年のほとんどは雨の屋久島。あまり期待せず、雨具をカバンに入れて高速船に乗りました。港に到着し、宿まで歩いている途中に担当の方から、集合時間と場所、持ち物の確認の電話があり、とても安心しました。
翌日朝4時に迎えのバスがやってきましたが、ゴールデンウィークと言うこともあって、満席状態でした。席に座ったらすぐに担当のガイドさんがご挨拶をしてくれました。大変、経験豊かな方で屋久島のことなら何でも知っているとお話しされていたように、何を聞いても答えていただける頼もしい方でした。
登山口からトロッコ列車の線路に沿って8キロ歩きましたが、ガイドさんのお話がほぼ絶えることなく続き、屋久島の自然、歴史、屋久杉の特徴など詳しく教えて頂きました。
歩くペースも初心者に合わせてくださったので疲れも最小限に済みました。おかげで念願の縄文杉に出会うことができました。雨にもほとんど降られることがなく、時々青空も見られました。本当にいい思い出をありがとうございました。

The explanations about the history of Yakushima and the formation of its forests were clear and posed no problems. However, during the free talk, I was a bit disappointed by the guide's harsh tone and lack of refinement that came through at times. At one point during a break, the guide said, "This group isn't lively, so shall we move on?" and no one could respond, which made the atmosphere freeze. It seemed like the guide lacked the ability to engage and uplift the group. On the way back on the tram road, I could even hear the guide sighing from the back. It's such a shame for a tour of Jomon Sugi...
Additionally, while other tours had groups of 2 to 4 people, this tour had 8 participants. It was clear that the guide was struggling to manage the group. The guide and members had no choice but to leave it to chance, and while there is also a matter of compatibility, I was painfully reminded that a tour can be enjoyable or boring depending on the people involved.
屋久島の歴史や森の成り立ちなどの説明は分かりやすく特に問題ありませんでしたが、フリートークの際、節々に出てくるガイドさんのキツい口調や品のない態度に少しがっかりしました。休憩時に、「このグループは話が弾まないからもう行こうか」という発言もあり、誰ひとり返事ができず、空気が凍る。。。ガイドさん自身に場をまとめ盛り上げる力量がないのでは??帰りのトロッコ道では、後方からガイドさんのため息が聞こえる始末。せっかくの縄文杉ツアーなのに。。。
また、他のツアーが2〜4人で1グループだったのに対し、こちらのツアーは参加者8人。ガイドさんもまとめるのに苦労している様子がわかりました。
ガイドさんやメンバーは運に身を委ねるしかありませんし、相性もありますが、人次第で楽しくもつまらなくもなるのがツアーなのだと、痛感させられました。

I received a detailed explanation, starting with the formation of Yakushima, and particularly appreciated the thorough information about the plants. The weather was nice, and I was able to enjoy a refreshing forest bath, spending a very enjoyable time.
It was great that I could try on the rental shoes at the airport. However, there was a bit of an odor lingering on the raincoat and backpack, and I would have liked them to be properly deodorized.
子細に渡り説明していただきました。屋久島の成り立ちを初め、特に、植物について丁寧な説明がありました。天気も良く、清々しい森林浴が出来て、とても楽しい時間を過ごすことが出来ました。
レンタル靴は空港で試し履き出来たもの良かったです。しかし、レインコートやバックパックには少し臭いが残っており、しっかりと消臭して欲しかったです。

The tour I participated in was packed into one day, covering must-see spots in Yakushima such as Shiratani Unsuikyo, which is said to be the model for Princess Mononoke, and Jomon Sugi.
While I was excited, I also had a lot of anxiety about whether I could keep up with the walking. However, thanks to Tsugimachi-san, a cheerful and knowledgeable guide who is even more informative than Siri, the tour turned out to be incredibly enjoyable and flew by, even for someone like me who wasn't very confident in my stamina.
I will never forget the taste of the tonjiru that Tsugimachi-san prepared for us along the way.
I was also truly impressed by the skill with which Tsugimachi-san took numerous photos at key points.
If you're considering participating, I highly recommend rewatching Princess Mononoke before joining!
今回参加したツアーは、もののけ姫のモデルの地とされる白谷雲水峡や縄文杉など屋久島の行きたいところを1日に詰め込んだスケジュールでした。
そのため、ワクワク半分の一方、歩ききれるか不安な気持ちも大きかったのですが、Siriより物知りで陽気なおじさんこと津曲さんによる絶妙なトークやガイドのおかげで体力に自信のなかった私でも本当に楽しくあっという間のツアーとなりました。
中でも、道中に津曲さんが準備してくれた豚汁の味が忘れられません。
また、津曲さんが要所要所で撮ってくれる数々の写真の上手さにも本当に感動しました。
参加を検討している方はぜひもののけ姫を見返して参加されてください。
