The small group size allowed us to take our time exploring. It was perfect for my first trip to Yakushima, as we could efficiently visit the sights. The driver and guide were both wonderful and very comforting. I highly recommend it!
少人数制で、ゆっくりと見学できました。効率良く名所を回れるので、初めての屋久島の旅にピッタリです。ドライバーさんやガイドさんの人柄も大変良く癒されました。本当におススメです!

I had no experience with trekking or mountain climbing, but I participated in this tour. On April 14, when I joined, it was raining heavily, and unfortunately, the view from Taiko Rock wasn't very clear, but we were able to go there.
Since I was inexperienced, I was worried about my physical strength, but I managed to endure it.
The guide was very kind and even served us miso soup for lunch.
There are no other tours that take you to both Jomon Sugi and Shiratani Unsuikyo in one day, but I definitely think it's better to do it in one day.
However, I regret not preparing lightweight and quick-drying clothing (°_°).
トレッキングや登山未経験でしたが、こちらのツアーに参加しました。参加した4月14日はすごく雨が降っていて、太鼓岩の景色は残念ながらあまり綺麗に見えませんでしたが、行くことはできました。
未経験なので、体力にも不安がありましたが、耐えられました。
ガイドさんはとても親切で、お昼にお味噌汁も出してくださりました。
縄文杉と白谷雲水峡の両方を 1日で行くツアーは他にありませんが、1日で行く方が絶対良いと思いました。
ただ、服装は軽くて速乾の物を準備すれば良かったと後悔しました(°_°)

I was worried about whether I could manage 22 km from 4:30 AM until the evening, but the guide took breaks as needed and taught us stretches, so I was able to return feeling better than I expected. I was also fortunate with the weather. However, there was someone in the middle of the line who frequently fell, and I got tired from stopping right behind them, so I think it would have gone more smoothly if the guide had walked right behind them to help. I really appreciated that they took photos for us, but I was disappointed that the pictures didn't turn out very well. When I asked for a retake, they only took pictures of the scenery and didn't include me, which was quite disappointing. Overall, I’m satisfied that I returned safely. Thank you very much.
朝4:30集合で夕方まで22kmを乗り切れるか心配でしたが、ガイドさんが適宜休憩を取ったり、ストレッチを教えてくださったので、思っていたよりも元気に戻ることができました。天気にも恵まれてよかったです。ただ、列の真ん中によく転ぶ方がいらして、その真後ろで止まったりして疲れてしまったので、できればガイドさんが気を利かしてガイドさんの直後を歩いてくださるようにしてくれれば、もっとスムーズに行ったのではないかな、と思います。写真を撮ってくださるのもとてもありがたかったですが、写真があまり上手に撮れていなくて、撮りなおしてもらおうとしたら、景色だけを撮って、私を入れてくれなかったのでとてもがっかりしました。全般的には無事に帰れて満足です。どうもありがとうございました。

This tour made me reflect on what it means to be a guide. The explanations were just a monotonous stream of walking, and my voice couldn't reach the back. When I mentioned that I couldn't hear, the response was that they couldn't raise their voice any higher. There was no explanation about how to walk or about the moving stones; the guide just hurried ahead on their own.
Is this really a guide? Or just someone leading the way?
There were five of us climbing together. One person sprained their ankle, and while two others fortunately didn't get injured, they slipped down 2-4 meters. One person had to retire from the climb. However, in other groups, the guides were considerate, encouraging everyone to support each other as they climbed. I know my lack of stamina played a part, but I wish the guide had managed the pace better and shown more care. It's disappointing, especially since we paid the same fee. I don't think I'll be going back to Yakushima again.
ガイドの仕事とはなんぞやっと考えさせられるツワーでした。ただひたすら歩きながらの説明、後ろまで声は届かず 聞こえないっていうと これ以上声は出ないと反論。足運び方や動いてる石の説明や確かめてをすることもなく一人でさっさといってしまう。
これってガイド?それともただの先頭の人?
一緒に登ったのは5人 一人は捻挫 2人は幸いにも怪我はなかったけど2-4M滑り降り 1人はリタイア でも他の組みはガイドさんが気を使いみんなで励まし合い登っていました。私の体力不足もありましょうがガイドさんのペース配分とか心使いがあればよかったのにと残念です。同じ料金なのに。もう屋久島には行かないと思います

The scenery was very beautiful, as expected from a place that inspired Studio Ghibli. When I visited, it was raining on and off, but in the end, the sun came out, and the light reflected off the dew on the moss, creating a very magical landscape. However, the guide was able to take photos at the basic photo points, but they walked quite quickly, so I couldn't take pictures freely when I thought something was beautiful. It was also disappointing that I couldn't hear the explanations while walking.
ジブリのモデルとなっただけあり、とても綺麗な景色でした
私が行ったときは雨が降ったりやんだりを繰り返してましたが、最後に日が出て、スギゴケに付いた露に光が反射してとても幻想的な風景を見ることができました。
ただ、担当のガイドさんは、基本的な写真ポイントでは撮影していただけますが、結構スタスタと歩いて行ってしまうために、自分で綺麗だと思ったときに、自由に写真を撮ることがあまりできませんでした。
また、歩いてる途中の説明が聞こえなくて残念でした。

Date of Climb: March 31, 2018
Weather: Clear then cloudy (light rain)
Temperature: Around 10 to 20°C
This was my first time visiting Yakushima and seeing Jomon Sugi.
I have very little climbing experience and haven't exercised much lately, so I was worried about whether I could walk the 22-kilometer round trip.
Given those concerns, I thought it would be best to have a guide who knows the area better than anyone else, so I decided to join a tour. It also provided peace of mind in case of any emergencies.
On the day of departure, a taxi picked me up near my accommodation just after 4 AM.
After waiting for about 10 minutes at the bus arrival point, a chartered bus arrived, already filled with climbers.
From there, we set off towards the Arakawa Trailhead. The bus made a stop to pick up the bento I had pre-ordered, which the guide kindly retrieved for us (thank you!).
After about 45 minutes on the bus, we arrived. Everyone was fast asleep, but I couldn't sleep at all due to nerves.
Once we arrived at the trailhead, we had a hearty breakfast with the bento we purchased and took care of our restroom needs before gathering with our guide for a brief orientation. We then did some light stretching as a warm-up.
Since it was still dim, we put on our headlamps and set off!
Walking along the trolley path, we quickly passed through a tunnel, feeling like we were in an Indiana Jones movie. I was filled with excitement for the unknown adventure ahead!
Along the way, the guide provided detailed explanations about Yakushima's environment and geological features, allowing us to learn a lot.
We progressed with a sense of awe at the giant rock formations, unfamiliar birds, and plants, feeling as if we were in a nature far removed from Japan.
After several breaks, we stopped for a restroom break at the entrance to the large tree path.
From here, we entered the actual climbing trail.
The path was quite challenging, but I was moved by the fantastical scenery and the giant cedar trees as I continued on.
There were continuous stairs and steep rocky sections. I made sure to walk carefully and slowly to avoid injury.
At the Wilson stump, we took a perfect heart-shaped photo. I thought it would have been impossible to see it as a heart without the guide!
When the guide announced it was time for lunch, we decided to eat our bento at a resting spot near a water source.
Thanks to the guide's thoughtful gesture, we were treated to some miso soup, which was incredibly delicious! Eating in such a place is so much more enjoyable than at home.
At this point, we were told we had about an hour left to Jomon Sugi, and I was filled with joy as the goal came into sight.
After passing by the large cedar tree, Ohyama Sugi, and the couple cedar trees, only Jomon Sugi remained.
About one kilometer left.
Then, right before us, the overwhelming presence of Jomon Sugi appeared.
It truly had the aura of a king.
All the fatigue I had felt vanished, replaced by a sense of accomplishment and emotion!
After a brief rest, we began our descent.
Going down, I was even more cautious than when climbing. The key was to choose the next foot placement carefully and walk quietly with small steps.
When I finally reached the entrance of the large tree path, which is both the end and the starting point of the trolley path, I let out a sigh of relief.
From there, it was just a matter of walking along the trolley path, but trouble struck!
My partner lost their footing and fell! They couldn't get up for a while, and I worried they might have hurt themselves, but after a moment, they managed to get up on their own, which was a relief.
However, the troubles didn't end there. One of the members strayed off the path and nearly fell off a cliff, which really panicked me.
I had heard that people get careless on the descent of the trolley path and end up in accidents, but I never expected to witness it
登山日:2018年3月31日
天候:晴れのち曇(小雨)
気温:10~20℃くらい
屋久島は初めてで、縄文杉も初めて。
登山歴も殆ど無く、最近運動もしてないので
果たして往復22キロの道のりを歩く事が出来るのか?
そうした不安があったので、
現地の事を誰よりも知っているガイドさんを付けた方が
間違い無い!と思い、ツアーに参加することを決めました。
万が一の時にも安心出来ますからね。
出発当日は、朝4時過ぎに宿の近くまでタクシーが
迎えに来てくれました。
そして、バスの到着場所で待つこと10分。
貸切バスが到着し、乗り込むと既に登山客で一杯でした。
そこから荒川登山口向けて出発。
途中、事前予約していたお弁当を受け取る為に
バスは停車。
ガイドさんがわざわざ取って来てくれました(感謝)
それから、バスに揺られて45分程で到着。
皆爆睡していましたが、緊張しているのか
全く眠れませんでしたね。。
登山口に到着後、お弁当屋さんで購入した
お弁当でしっかりと朝食を取り、トイレを済ませた後
担当のガイドさんの元に集合して、
簡単なオリエンテーションを受けた後、
皆で軽く準備運動としてストレッチをしました。
まだ薄暗かったのでヘッドライトを装着して、
いざ出発!
トロッコ道を歩いていくと直ぐにトンネルを
通ったので、気分はインディージョーンズの世界♪
未知なる冒険に出発する気持ちで期待が一杯でしたね~
道中、ガイドさんが屋久島の環境や地質の特徴を
詳しく解説して貰い、色々と勉強する事が出来ました。
巨石群や見知らぬ鳥や植物。
日本とは思えないくらいの大自然に
畏敬を感じながら進みます。
途中休憩を何度かしてから、大株歩道入口で
トイレ休憩。
ここから本格的な登山道に入ります。
かなりハードな道のりでしたが幻想的な光景や
杉の大木に感動しながら、歩を進めて行きます。
階段、アップダウンの勾配に強い岩場の連続。
とにかく怪我だけはしないように
慎重に、ゆっくりと歩いて行きました。
ウィルソン株では、ハート型の撮影もバッチリ^^
これは、ガイドさんがいなければ
絶対にハート型に見えないと思いましたね~
道中、ガイドさんからお昼休憩すると言われたので
水場のある休憩場所でお弁当を食べる事に。
ガイドさんの粋な計らいで味噌汁を振舞われました^^
最高に美味しかったです!
ホント、こういう所で食べるご飯は
家で食べるより何倍も美味しいですね。
この時点で縄文杉まで残り1時間程と言われたので
ゴールが見えて来た喜びに包まれて出発。
縄文杉に次ぐ大木の大王杉、
夫婦杉を過ぎると残すは縄文杉のみ。
残り約1キロ。
そして、目の前に圧倒的な存在感の漂う
縄文杉が現れました。
まさに王者の風格です。
それまでの疲れも吹っ飛ぶくらい、
達成感と感動に溢れましたね!
しばしの休憩後、下山。
下りは上り以上に慎重に進んで行きました。
次の足を置くポイントを選びながら
小さな歩幅で足音立てずに
歩くのがポイントとの事。
なんとか、トロッコ道の終点でもあり
始点でもある大株林道入口に辿り着いた時は
ホッと胸を撫で下ろしました^^
後は、トロッコ道をてくてく歩いていくだけですが
ここでトラブルが発生!
パートナーが足を踏み外してなんと転倒!
しばらく起き上がれ無かったので、
打ちどころが悪かったのかも、と思いましたが
少し待つと自力で起き上がったので
ホッとしました^^;
でも、トラブルはそれだけでは終わらず
なんとその後メンバーが大きく道を踏み外して
危うく崖に落ちそうになった時は、
本当に焦りましたね。。
トロッコ道の下りは気持ちが緩んで
事故に遭う人がいると聞いていましたが、
まさか目の前で起こるとは思いませんでしたよ(汗)
それでも、無事全員で荒川登山口まで戻る事が
出来て、縄文杉トレッキングが無事終了しました!
ガイドさん本当にありがとうございました!
ペース配分や
要所、要所で的確にアドバイスして貰ったのは
本当にありがたかったです。
自分達だけだったら、
帰りのバスに間に合っていたかどうか怪しいものです。
ツアー参加前は、ガイド無しでの登山も考えましたが、
やはり、屋久島の魅力を十分に楽しむなら
ガイドさんを付けて正解でした。
すっかり屋久島の魅力にハマりましたので、
またいつか行きたいと思います!

The tour that covers Shiratani Unsuikyo and Jomon Sugi in one day is the only one available. If you go separately, you would end up taking the same route twice, and splitting it over two days could be mentally exhausting on the second day, so I highly recommend this tour that allows you to do it all in one day. According to the guide, even elderly people or those who don't usually exercise can complete it within the time limit. The guide is very knowledgeable about Yakushima and chose a course that suited the weather of the day. (The moss looks beautiful depending on how the sunlight hits it. In fact, as the guide said, the difference between morning and afternoon was remarkable.) Personally, I especially recommend Taiko Rock. It may not be very famous, but the view from Taiko Rock was breathtaking.
白谷雲水峡と縄文杉を1日で回るツアーはこのツアーだけでした。
別々に回ると同じ道を2回通ることになったり、2日に分けてしまうと2日目が精神的にしんどくなると思うので1日で回ることのできるこのツアーは大変おすすめです。
ガイドさんの話では、お年寄りや普段運動をしないという人でも時間内に回っているそうです。
ガイドさんは屋久島を知り尽くしていて、その日の天候に合ったコースを選んでくれました。(苔は日の当たり方次第でとても綺麗に見えるそうです。実際、ガイドさんの言う通り朝と昼とでは全然違いました。)
個人的には太鼓岩が特にオススメです。あまり有名ではない?ようですが、太鼓岩からの景色は絶景でした。

It was amazing!
My favorite was Taiko Rock.
There were some tough paths, but after climbing, it felt great and like I was floating.
The fun of trekking and chatting with the guide made for wonderful memories.
Even the nameless cedar was lovely and soothing.
However, we started at Shiratani Unsuikyo at 5 o'clock, and it was so dark that we couldn't see anything, so it might have been better to split it into two days instead of one.
I was disappointed that Jomon Cedar had barriers around it, making it hard to get close.
さいこうでした!
私のお気に入りは太鼓岩です。
厳しい道もありましたが、登った後は気持ちよくて、浮いてる感じでした。
トレッキングの楽しさ、ガイドさんとのお話も楽しくて、いい思い出になりました。
名前のない杉まで十分素敵で、癒されました。
ただ、5時から白谷雲水峡をスタートしましたが、まっくらで何も見えなかったので、1日でまとめるのではなく2日に分けても良かったかもしれません。
縄文杉は予想していたより、囲いがあって近づけなかったのが残念です。

The trekking in March turned out to be in sleet with a cold front. It was probably below 0 degrees, and I wanted to start a bit earlier, but since it was a group activity, it was difficult to do as I wished, which was tough. However, I was glad to finally encounter Jomon Sugi.
Unfortunately, the guide wasn't very talkative, which was another reason for my disappointment.
3月寒気の入った霙のトレッキングになりました。おそらく0度未満で寒かったので、少し早目に行きたかったのですが、団体行動となるので、なかなか思うようにいかずつらかったです。何とか縄文杉に出会えたことはよかったです。
ガイドさんは残念ながらあまり話を聞いていただける方ではなかったので、それも残念だった理由です。

I participated alone and wasn't confident in my physical strength, but I was able to go all the way and come back!
Unlike other tours, we traveled to the trailhead by a dedicated vehicle, so I could sleep on the way (although I was too captivated by the starry night sky outside the window to actually sleep…). It was great that we weren't rushed on the way back either, so I could relax. The guide was a very kind and friendly young person.
Before reaching Jomon Sugi, there are many impressive cedar trees, which made Jomon Sugi seem a bit overshadowed, but the mystical atmosphere of Jomon Sugi is still unmatched. The sense of achievement is incredible!!
There were various people climbing, from small children to the elderly, so if you're a bit worried, why not give it a try? (^ -^)
1人参加で、体力にも自信がなかったのですが、最後まで行って帰って来られました!
他のツアーと違って、登山口まで専用車で行くので、行きは車内で寝られるし(でも、車内から見た夜空の満点の星に夢中で実際は寝られず…)、帰りも時間を気にせず急かされないのでとても良かったです。ガイドさんはとても優しく親切な若い方でした。
縄文杉にたどり着く前にたくさんの立派な杉があるので、縄文杉がかすんでしまう位でしたが、やはり神秘的な雰囲気は縄文杉が勝ります。ものすごい達成感がありますよ!!
小さなお子さんやお年寄りの方まで、色々な人が登っていたので、ちょっと心配している方もチャレンジしてみては?(^-^)

I participated in a round-trip trekking tour to Jomon Sugi that took ten hours. Since the flat trolley path continues for a long time, I think it would have been tough without a guide who shared bits of knowledge along the way. The trail itself is easy to walk, and my 50-year-old mother, who joined me, was able to reach Jomon Sugi safely. Even my sister, who hardly exercises, managed to go without any difficulty, so I don't think there's much to worry about in terms of physical fitness.
縄文杉まで往復十時間のトレッキングツアーに参加しました。
平坦なトロッコ道が長時間続くので、ちょこちょこと知識を教えてくれるガイドさんがいないと、きつかったなと思います。
道事態は歩きやすく、一緒に参加した50歳の母も無事縄文杉までたどり着けましたし、日ごろほとんど運動していない社会人の姉も難なく行くことができたので体力面の心配はそこまで不要かと思います。

I finally got to go on a Yakushima tour. I participated with another housewife in her 50s from Hiroshima. The day before, the guide called us, and he picked us up at 4:30 the next morning. This time, we were a group of six, including three university students.
The hiking trail with stones and roots was tougher than I expected. The moss-covered stones were slippery, and if I let my guard down, I could easily fall. I focused on my footing to avoid bothering everyone. Thanks to that, I was able to see Jomon Sugi and the moss forest, which was truly moving.
The guide was experienced and gave us various pieces of advice. He said, "This course is efficient and highly recommended." I completely agree. It's hard, but it's better than splitting it over two days, as we could use our time effectively. By the way, the next day, we enjoyed a drive around Yakushima.
Although I was hit with muscle pain the day after the hike, I was relieved to have made it down safely. I want to give myself a pat on the back. We were blessed with clear weather, making it the best day ever. The only regret is that I didn't have the chance to leisurely gaze at the starry sky. Just before dawn, the stars were falling like rain.
I wonder if I will see the guide again. He was truly impressive. I thought it might be nice to age gracefully like that. Thank you for everything.
念願の屋久島ツアー。広島から50代の主婦2人で参加しました。
前日にガイドさんから電話があり、翌朝4時半にガイドさんが迎えにきてくれました。今回は3人の大学生と計6人のグループで行動しました。
石と根っこの登山道は思った以上に大変でした。苔の生えた石も滑るし、気を許すと転んでしまいます。皆に迷惑をかけてはいけないので足元に集中しました。おかげで縄文杉も、苔の森も見ることができて感動しました。
ガイドさんはベテランで、いろいろアドバイスをいただきました。いわく「このコースは、効率よくまわれておすすめ」と。私も同感。ハードですが、2日に分けて行くより、時間をうまく使えます。ちなみに私たちは翌日、屋久島一周ドライブを楽しみました。
登山翌日は筋肉痛に見舞われたものの、無事に下山できてほっとしています。自分で自分をほめてあげたい。
快晴にも恵まれ、最高の一日でした。残念なのは、星空をゆっくり眺める余裕がなかったこと。夜明け前は、降るような星空でした。
ガイドさん、また会えるかな。さすがでした。あんなふうにすてきに年を取るのもよいかなと思いました。お世話になりました。

I participated with my daughter, and although we are beginners in hiking, we chose the advanced course from Shiratani Unsuikyo to Taiko Rock, Jomon Sugi, and Arakawa-guchi.
Fortunately, there were only two participants in the tour, making it a private tour. We were moved by the starry sky as we started our hike. We were blessed with good weather and were able to walk happily until the end.
Our handsome guide, who loves nature and families, kindly and attentively guided us, and the 14 hours, including hotel pick-up, flew by. We considered splitting Shiratani Unsuikyo & Taiko Rock and Jomon Sugi over two days, but I’m glad we did it in one day.
This is because the day after the hike, I had muscle pain and my legs were shaky, making it difficult to walk, so I don't think I could have gone hiking on the second day.
It’s a tough course for someone who doesn’t exercise at all, but even at 55 years old, with an office job, I was fine with just a few minutes of daily exercises like going up and down stairs and squats.
Even though it was a day trip, our guide had a large backpack, and in addition to preparations for emergencies, he provided mats for breaks, warm miso soup, and herbal tea, which I truly appreciated.
I made wonderful memories with my daughter. Thank you very much!
娘と二人で参加、登山初心者ですが白谷雲水峡→太鼓岩→縄文杉→荒川口の上級コースを選びました。
ラッキーなことにツアー参加者は二人だけでプライベートツアーとなりました。
満天の星に感動しての登山スタート。お天気に恵まれ最後までご機嫌で歩けました。
自然とご家族を愛するイケメンガイドさんが親切丁寧に案内してくださり、ホテル送迎含んで14時間という時間がアッという間でした。
白谷雲水峡&太鼓岩と縄文杉を二日に分けることも考えましたが、一日にしてよかったです。
何故なら登山の翌日は筋肉痛で足がガクガクになり歩くのも大変になったので、2日目の登山は行けなかったと思います。。
全く運動していない人には厳しいコースですが、オフィスワークで55歳の私でも階段の上り下りやスクワット等の運動を毎日数分するだけの準備で大丈夫でした。
日帰りだというのにガイドさんのザックは大きく、もしもの時の準備に加え、休憩時の敷物や温かいお味噌汁やハーブティ等を準備してくださり、その優しさを心から嬉しく思いました。
娘との最高の思い出が出来ました。ありがとうございました!
Dear Yukimama,
Thank you very much for signing up for the Jomon Sugi and Shiratani Unsuikyo 1-day (Taiko Rock) traverse course.
Looking at the photos, it seems like the weather was clear and walking was easy. There is also an option to split the Jomon Sugi and Shiratani Unsuikyo into two days, but completing it in one day is shorter in distance, so if you have a certain level of fitness, you can manage it.
The guide, A, has a short guiding history, but I will let them know how happy you both were.
If you have another opportunity, please come and visit Yakushima again.

From there, the guide took regular breaks, so everything went smoothly. Even though I was alone, the guide kept me company, and other participants also chatted with me, so I had no issues!
1人旅で屋久島にいきました。宮之浦港付近に宿をとっていましたが、送迎バスのおかげで荒川登山口へ。そこからは、ガイドさんがこまめに休憩をとりながら進んでくれたので何事もなくつけました。1人でしたが、ガイドさんが話相手になってくださったり、ほかの参加者の方が声をかけてくれたりするので問題なかったです!

I left my family behind and went on a solo trip to Yakushima from Aichi Prefecture. I thought about going with my spouse someday, so I signed up for a guided tour for a day trip trekking to Jomon Sugi as a preliminary visit.
I felt good from early morning, and I was prepared to deal with the cold as long as I kept moving. I left the Anbo bus stop and headed to the trailhead just after 4:30 AM.
After that, the seven members participating in the same guide M's tour gathered, and we set off. However, shortly after, two people had to withdraw at the bridge of the trolley train where there were no handrails for various reasons.
As a result, four women and I, a total of five people, followed guide M as we made our way along the trolley path. The explanations at key points were well-timed with short breaks, and surprisingly, we reached Jomon Sugi without much trouble.
The weather was absolutely perfect, and the observation deck was not crowded, allowing us to view the 7,000-year-old tree from various angles. I felt a sense of presence and dignity in the magnificent tree, witnessing the power of nature firsthand.
The distant mountains on the way there and back were also clearly visible, making it a very good tour.
However, by the time we arrived at the accommodation above Mos Burger, I had injured the muscles behind my knees to the point where I could hardly climb the stairs. Thanks to M's advice on recovery methods, I was able to return home without much impact the next day.
家族を置いて愛知県から単独旅行で屋久島に旅しに行きました。いつかは夫婦でと思い、下見兼ねて今回ガイド付きツアーで縄文杉日帰りトレッキングに申し込みました。
早朝から体調も良く、寒さは動けばなんとかなると覚悟して早朝4:30過ぎに安房バス停から登山口まで移動。
その後同じガイドMさんのツアーに参加するメンバー7名が集い、いざ出発するがしばらくして手すりないトロッコ列車の橋の所で2名が訳あって棄権。
結果、女性4名と私1名の計5名がガイドのMさんを追うようにトロッコ道をグイグイと進みました。要所要所の説明を、小休憩兼ねて程よいタイミングで入れていただき長いようで意外とあっけなく、無事に縄文杉まで到達しました。
とにかく天気は最高で、展望台も混雑なく色々な角度から7000年の歴史の産物を見学しました。壮大な樹木には何か宿ってる気迫というか威厳を感じ、自然の力を目の当たりにしました。
行き帰りの遠方の山々もハッキリと拝めとても良いツアーでした。
ただ、モスバーガー上の宿に着いた時には階段上がれないほど膝裏の筋を痛めてました。
Mさんに聞いた疲労回復法で翌日の帰路には影響もほぼなく無事に帰宅出来ました。

I was worried because I didn't have confidence in my physical strength, but thanks to the guide, I was able to enjoy the experience and reach my destination safely. I was able to see the Wilson stump and Yakusugi beautifully, and I made some wonderful memories. Thank you very much!
体力に自信がなく不安もありましたが、ガイドさんのおかげで楽しみ安全に辿り着けました。
ウィルソン株も屋久杉もキレイに見ることができて、とてもいい思い出ができました。本当にありがとうございました!

I wanted to feel the grandeur and vitality of nature that has continued since ancient times, so I joined this tour. We were picked up by bus at the early hour of 5 AM and taken to the trailhead, where the tour began. We climbed a long, long trolley path for about three hours, and then ascended a steep slope. The tour was challenging yet very enjoyable as I experienced the magnificence of the great cedar trees and the difference in air within the ancient forest. It was also a good opportunity to realize the decline in my leg muscles after many years of working in an office. I feel motivated to train my body and try again; I highly recommend this tour.
古代から脈々と続く大自然の荘厳さと生命力のすごさを感じたいと思い、このツアーに参加しました。なんと5時という早朝からバスで登山口に送られ、そこからツアーが始まりました。長い長いトロッコ道を3時間くらい上り、そこから険しい坂道を登山しますが、大自然の大きな杉の荘厳さと古代樹林の空間の空気の違いを感じながらのツアー工程は厳しくも非常に楽しいものでした。そして、長年の会社生活の間に衰えてしまった足の筋肉の減退を自身で十分に感じた良い機会でもありました。 体を鍛えなおして、再度チャレンジしてみたいとも思う、お勧めのツアーです。

The day before, I went on a Jomon Sugi tour, so I wanted to experience the nature that inspired "Princess Mononoke," and I participated in this "Shiratani Unsuikyo Tour." The hiking trail wasn't too steep, and it was a nice tour that could be completed in half a day. Along the way, there were indeed large cedars, and after a while, I reached the moss-covered "Mononoke Forest." It was a space that calmed my mind and created a very peaceful atmosphere, allowing me to feel a different aura from the city as I descended.
It was a very good tour.
前日に縄文杉ツアーに行ったので、続いて「ジブリのもののけ姫」のモチーフになった自然を感じたいと思い、この「白谷雲水峡ツアー」に参加しました。登山道はそんなに険しくなく、半日で往復できる程よいツアーでした。 途中には、やはり大きな杉がそびえ、また、しばらく行くと苔むす「もののけの森」に行きつきました。 そこは、心が和み、とても気持ちが静かになるような雰囲気の空間で、都会とは違うオーラを十分に感じて下山できました。
とても良いツアーでした。

Even if you're not very interested in mountain climbing, it's moving! The one-way trip takes about 4 to 5 hours, which is tough, but there are various types of cedar trees along the route, so you won't get bored. Once I saw the Jomon cedar at the goal, I forgot my fatigue. The return trip is downhill, so it's surprisingly easy to get back.
登山にはあまり興味がなくても感動します!
片道4~5時間は大変ですが、ルート上には色んな杉がみられるので飽きません。
ゴールの縄文杉を見たら疲れを忘れました。
帰りは下りなので、以外と楽に戻れます。

This was my first winter trekking experience, and I was a bit worried, but thanks to the favorable weather and the support of our friendly guide, I was able to enjoy it thoroughly.
Even though it was winter, I found myself getting warm while walking. I recommend wearing layers that are easy to take on and off. Also, since the wind can be strong, having a neck warmer and a secure hat is reassuring.
The trees covered in moss and the giant cedar trees were incredibly captivating and have become unforgettable memories. The spring water was also delicious.
冬のトレッキングは初めてなので少し心配していたのですが、お天気に恵まれ、また優しいガイドさんのサポートのおかげで楽しく終えることができました。
冬とはいえ、歩いていると暑くなってきます。参加する際は脱ぎ着しやすい服装で行くことをお勧めします。
また、風が強いのでネックウォーマーや飛びにくい帽子があると安心です。
苔に覆われた木々や巨大な杉の木はとても魅力的で忘れられない思い出になりました。湧き水も美味しかったです。

We participated as a couple in January. There were only two participants. It was a rainy day, and we climbed with remnants of snow. It was very hard, but with encouragement from our guide, Tecchan, we somehow made it to Wilson's stump. My wife was already exhausted, but it seemed she gained energy from Wilson's stump, and after that, she was able to climb to Jomon Sugi safely. The fog was thick, and we could only see the silhouette of Jomon Sugi, but it was still wonderful. On the way back, our guide, Tecchan, took some fun photos for us. I want to go again.
1月に夫婦で参加しました。参加者は2名だけでした。雨模様で、残雪が残る中の登山でした。とってもハードでしたが、ガイドのてっちゃんの励ましもあって、なんとかウィルソン株までたどり着きました。妻は、すでにヘロヘロでしたが、ウィルソン株からパワーをもらえたようで、その後は元気が出て、無事、縄文杉まで登ることができました。霧がひどくて、縄文杉はシルエットだけでしたが、それでも素晴らしかったです。帰り道は、ガイドのてっちゃんが楽しい写真を撮ってくれました。また行きたいです。

I heard that visiting both Jomon Sugi and Shiratani Unsuikyo in one day is quite a challenging course, but everyone enjoyed it until the end. (All participants were 29-year-old women and beginners in hiking.) Thanks to our guide managing the pace and break timings, it was a great experience.
Also, we had warm tonjiru (pork miso soup) for lunch. It was a cold day, so it really warmed us up. Thank you very much.
If someone I know goes to Yakushima, I will definitely recommend it.
縄文杉と白谷雲水峡どちらも1日で回るのはかなりハードなコースだと聞いていましたが、最後まで全員楽しめました。(全員29歳女性、登山初心者レベル)ペース配分、休憩タイミング等、ガイドさんが管理して下さったおかげです。
また、昼食時に温かい豚汁を頂きました。寒い日でしたので身体に染みました。ありがとうございました。
知人が屋久島へ行くことがあれば、必ずオススメします。
To Koko,
Thank you for your hard work on the one-day trekking course at Jomon Sugi and Shiratani Unsuikyo. I was a bit worried before we set off since I heard everyone was a beginner, but I'm relieved that everyone made it to the finish line safely and energetically.
Whenever you miss Yakushima, please feel free to come back and visit!

I requested the afternoon course, and I received a confirmation call the day before, which made me feel at ease for the day of the event! The tour included Yakusugi Land and the Kigen Sugi, and it was a great deal with an excellent guide and the opportunity to take photos from the best positions! Since they also provide transportation back to the accommodation, it serves as a convenient alternative for those who haven't rented a car, making it a win-win situation!
午後からのコースをお願いしましたが前日には確認のお電話があり、安心して当日を迎えることができました!ヤクスギランドと紀元杉の見学でしたが絶妙なガイドさんの案内プラスベストポジションでの写真撮影もあってとてもお得なコースでした!帰りは宿までは送ってもらえることからレンタカーを借りていない方にはバスやタクシー代わりの交通手段にもなって一石二鳥だと思います〜

It was raining, so I started my hike from Shiratani Unsuikyo and got to see the moss-covered forest around dawn! It had a very mystical atmosphere and was amazing! Unfortunately, there was fog from Taiko Rock, but I descended to the tramway and headed to Jomon Sugi. The journey was long and tough, but if you're going to Yakushima, I think it's great that you can visit both in one day.
雨だったので白谷雲水峡から登り始めて、夜が明ける頃の苔むす森を見させてもらいました!とても神秘的な空気で最高でした!太鼓岩からはあいにくの霧でしたが、そこからトロッコ道へ下り、縄文杉へ。道のりは長く大変でしたが、せっかく屋久島に行くなら、どちらも1日で回れるのはかなりいいと思います。
Yakushima is amazing!
Thank you for your hard work on the Jomon Sugi and Shiratani Unsuikyo one-day trekking (Taiko Rock). It is a challenging course, but I'm glad to hear you were satisfied. The view from Taiko Rock on a clear day is absolutely beautiful, so please visit again someday.

I was torn between the Jomon Sugi course and the Shiratani Unsuikyo, but I made the right choice by opting for Shiratani Unsuikyo since I wasn't confident in my leg strength! The shades of green were incredibly beautiful, and I felt like I wanted to come back just to experience this scenery again. The tour guide was also a great person, and since they explained the highlights along the way, I was able to walk leisurely and have a fun time. I was also happy that it turned into a private tour, perhaps because it was the off-season (^ ^).
縄文杉コースと悩みましたが、脚力に自信がなかったので白谷雲水峡をチョイスして正解でした!緑の色合いも最高に美しく、この景色を味わうためにもう一度来たいと思いました。
ツアーのガイドさんも良い方で、見どころを解説しながらなので、のんびり歩け、楽しく時間が過ぎていきました。シーズンオフだからか、プライベートツアーになったのも嬉しかったです(^ ^)

Dear Rinrin,
Thank you very much for applying for the Jomon Sugi and Shiratani Unsuikyo One-Day (Taiko Rock) Traversing Course.
The course we walked this time is quite challenging, and there are many voices suggesting that it should be removed from the menu because it is "too tough" even among Yakushima. However, many customers have only a 2-night, 3-day itinerary, and if they want to visit Jomon Sugi, Shiratani Unsuikyo (Moss Forest), and Taiko Rock in the middle of their trip, this is the only course available.
Recently, as a result of instructing guides to constantly monitor customers' physical conditions, the number of customers retiring from the course has decreased. I will convey to the responsible guide, S, that you were very satisfied.
Please come back to Yakushima again if you have the opportunity.

この度は、縄文杉・白谷雲水峡一日(太鼓岩)縦走コースにお申込み頂き、誠にありがとうございました。
今回歩いたコースは、とてもハードコースで、屋久島の中でも「キツすぎるからメニューから外せば」という声が多いです。
しかし、お客様の行程が2泊3日しかとれないお客様が多く、中日に縄文杉・白谷雲水峡(苔の森)・太鼓岩に行こうとするとこのコースしかありません。
最近は、ガイドにお客様の体調管理を常に見るように指示した結果、リタイアするお客様も減っております。
とても満足されたことは、担当ガイドのSに伝えときます。
また機会があれば屋久島に遊びに来て下さい。
