The guide was very enjoyable, the pace was just right, and the advice was spot on, allowing us to proceed smoothly. I participated alone, but the guide was considerate, and the people I was with were nice, making for a very pleasant experience. It would have been even better if we had time for introductions at the beginning since I hardly knew anyone's name despite walking together.
ガイドさんがとても楽しい方で、ペースもちょうど良く、アドバイスも的確で、順調に行ってくることが出来ました。
一人で参加しましたが、ガイドさんがお気遣いくださったり、一緒になった人たちも良い人たちで、楽しく過ごせてとても良かったです。
せっかくご一緒したのにほとんどお名前も知らないまま共に歩いたので、最初の方で皆さんとの自己紹介の時間がいただけたらなお良かったです。

The Jomon Sugi was certainly the highlight, but thanks to our guide's explanations, I learned about the rare vegetation and thoroughly enjoyed the great outdoors! The round trip of 22 km and 10 hours of hiking left my legs sore the next day, making it hard to walk, but it's a healing place that makes me want to go back again.
縄文杉はもちろん目玉でしたが、ガイドさんの説明のおかげでめずらしい植生を知り、大自然を満喫できました!
往復22km、10時間の歩き登山はさすがに翌日は足がバキバキで歩くのもやっとでしたが、また行きたいと思える癒しの場所です。

I am a student at a technical college. We had a somewhat unusual school trip where we disbanded in Kumamoto and took four days to return to our hometown, Fukui. There are many places I want to visit along the way, like Universal Studios Japan, Beppu Onsen, and Hiroshima. However, I thought we should go to places we might never visit again in our lives. That's when I started researching and came across the idea of Yakushima. So, four of us students applied for this tour.
We started in the dark with flashlights in hand. It rained on and off along the way. I thought it was supposed to be cloudy according to the weather forecast, but I realized the terrifying nature of Yakushima's climate change. During the tour, we were able to see the sunrise. Since it was the off-season, we could take a lot of photos. During the busy season, other tour groups create lines, making it difficult to take pictures.
I won't describe my impressions of the Yakusugi trees because that would take away from the experience. It's something that can't be conveyed in words; you have to experience it to understand.
As students, we wanted to keep travel costs low. However, I thought this wasn't the place to be stingy, so after arriving in Yakushima, I rented a raincoat and hiking boots from a rental shop. This was a fantastic decision. It would have been a mistake to wear my own sneakers, as they would have gotten wet instantly. Even if it was sunny, there were still puddles left (and some deep ones too).
Another piece of advice... portable toilets? I didn't use them, but it's definitely better to have them available. I brought two bottles each of tea and sports drinks. We also drank spring water along the way. Additionally, a sports towel is necessary since you'll sweat a lot.
The guesthouses we stayed at before and after the tour were different, but it was reassuring that we could store our large luggage on the tour bus. On the day of the tour, I participated with just one backpack.
We ordered our lunch during the tour meeting when we landed in Yakushima and paid for it, so we didn't have to prepare breakfast before the hike or lunch along the way.
Well, that's about it. Although we were students with zero hiking experience, we were able to create unforgettable memories. Thank you very much. For those who will be applying for the tour, I hope you enjoy it. It will undoubtedly become a lifelong memory.
高専の学生です。熊本で解散をして、地元、福井に4日間かけて帰ってこい。という、ちょっと不思議な修学旅行。熊本から福井まで、USJとか別府温泉とか広島とか、いろいろ行きたいと思う場所はある。けど、人生でもう来れないかもしれないという所に行こう。そう言って調べ始めてたどり着いたのが屋久島という案だった。そしてこのツアーに学生4人で応募。
朝真っ暗な状況で懐中電灯片手にスタート。途中で雨が降ったり止んだり。天気予報では曇りだったのになぁ…と思いながらも、屋久島の気候変動の恐ろしさを実感しました。ツアー途中では日の出も見れました。閑散期だけあって、たくさん写真撮影も出来ました。繁忙期は他のツアーの人達が列を作るのでなかなか写真撮影が出来ない。とのこと。
屋久杉を見た感想を述べてしまうと面白みがなくなってしまうので省略します。これは言葉では伝えれません。体験しないと分からないものだと感じました。
さて、学生という訳でなるべく旅費を安く済ませたいもの。しかし、ここはケチるところじゃないやろ、って思って屋久島入ってからレンタルショップで借りたのがレインコートと登山靴。これは素晴らしかったです。大正解でした。自前の運動靴だと一瞬で濡れてしまいます。晴れていたとしても水たまりは残ります。(深い水たまりも沢山ありました)
他にもアドバイス…。。簡易トイレでしょうか。使いませんでしたが必ずあった方がいいですね。
お茶とスポーツドリンクは2本づつ持っていきました。途中で湧き水も飲みました。
あとはスポーツタオル、汗かくので要りますね。
ツアー前と後で泊まる民宿が違ったのですが、大きな荷物はツアーのバスの中で保管しておいて貰えるので安心でした。当日はリュック一つで参加しました。
お弁当は屋久島に上陸した時のツアーミーティングで注文をしてお金を払ったので、当日、登山前の朝ごはんと途中のお昼ご飯は、特別僕らが用意する必要ありませんでした。
ま、そんなもんでしょうか。
登山経歴0の学生達でしたが、一生の思い出を作ることができました。
ありがとうございました。
これからツアー申し込まれる方、どうぞ楽しんできてください。一生の思い出になること、間違いないと思います。

My first visit to Yakushima was for the Jomon Sugi trekking, which I had been wanting to do for a long time. Since I don’t exercise at all, I was quite nervous about the 22 km round trip and 10-hour trek, but it turned out that 16 km of it was on a flat trolley road with minimal elevation change, and the actual mountain trail was only about 6 km, so it wasn't as tough as I had imagined.
On the middle day of the three-day weekend in November, the weather was perfect—cloudy with occasional sunshine after the rain, neither too hot nor too cold. I believe the guide's pacing was also perfect. There were seven participants, all women including myself, and the guide provided warnings about slippery areas and steep inclines in advance, so we were able to complete the trek without any injuries.
The only disappointment was that the fog was so thick at the top that my photos of Jomon Sugi turned out completely white. Some of the guides mentioned that they actually prefer the majestic feel of Jomon Sugi in the fog, but since it was my first time, I would have liked to see it clearly. However, it didn’t rain, and all the other cedars aside from Jomon Sugi looked beautiful in photos, and I could see Jomon Sugi clearly with my own eyes, so wanting more might be a bit greedy.
By the way, most of the guides in Yakushima work freelance, and only a handful are affiliated with any particular company. It seems they are dispatched from Company A one time and Company B another time, so choosing based on the reputation of a specific company's guides might not be very meaningful. However, the guide for the tour I participated in was excellent, and the other guides I passed along the way seemed to be enjoying themselves, so there’s probably not much to worry about in that regard.
初めての屋久島、絶対行きたいと思っていた縄文杉トレッキングでした。
普段全く運動をしないので、往復22㎞、10時間のトレッキングにびびりまくってましたが、うち16㎞はトロッコ道であまり高低差がなく、実際の山道は6㎞程度だったため、思ったほどではありませんでした。
11月の3連休の中日、雨上がりで曇り時々晴れ、暑くもなく寒くもなくという好条件で、ガイドの方のペース配分がまた完璧だったおかげと思います。
参加者は私を含めて女性ばかり7人でしたが、滑りやすいところや傾斜の急なところは事前に注意喚起して下さり、一人のけが人を出すこともなく全員完歩することができました。ポイントポイントで丁寧に説明もして頂けました。
ひとつだけ残念だったのは、上の方の霧がすごくて、縄文杉の写真が真っ白になっちゃったことくらいでしょうか。
ガイドさんたちの中には、霧の中の縄文杉の方が厳かな感じで好きだという方もいらっしゃるようですが、初めてだとやはりくっきりはっきりした姿が見たかったかも。
でも、雨も降らなかったし、縄文杉以外の杉は全てきれいに写真に納まったし、縄文杉も肉眼ではきれいに見えたしで、これ以上望むのは贅沢かもしれません。
ちなみに、屋久島のガイドさんたちは、ほとんどがフリーで働いてて、どこかの会社に所属している方はほんの一握りなのだそうです。ある時はA社から、ある時はB社から派遣されて、みたいな感じのようなので、「この会社のガイドさんの評判が良い」とか「悪い」とかで選ぶのはあまり意味がないみたいです。
ただ、私が参加したツアーのガイドさんもとても良かったですし、道すがらすれ違う他のガイドさんたちもみなさん楽しそうな感じでしたので、そこはあまり心配ないのかも。

I recently participated in a tour and went trekking to Jomon Sugi. Thanks to the guide's attentive care and thorough, interesting explanations at key points, I was able to enjoy the approximately 10-hour journey! The guide was relaxed and friendly, which made it easy to talk and enjoy the experience without feeling nervous from the start. Yakushima's great nature is truly amazing. I definitely want to visit Yakushima again soon.
つい先日ツアーに参加し、縄文杉トレッキングをしてきました。
ガイドの方の細やかな気配りと要所での丁寧かつ興味深い解説のおかげで、約10時間に及ぶ行程を楽しく乗り切ることができました!
ガイドさんはゆったりとしていて親しみやすい方で、始めから緊張せずリラックスしてお話ができて楽しかったです。
屋久島の大自然は本当に最高です。近いうちに是非また屋久島を訪れたいと思います。

I arrived at Yakushima Airport around noon and participated in the afternoon tour. The itinerary mentioned a 50-minute walk through the Jomon Sugi and Yakusugi Land. So, I assumed that the Yakusugi Land tour would be the 50-minute course up to the Buddha Sugi. However, during the ride, the driver mentioned, "We will have about a 40-minute walk at Yakusugi Land," which gave me a bit of a bad feeling... Unfortunately, that feeling turned out to be accurate, as we only had a 30-minute walking course, and it ended in no time.
Looking at reviews, it seems that it can depend on the driver (and guide) for the day. That day, there were already four people who had been on a full-day tour since the morning, and three additional people, including myself, boarded from the airport, so the driver might have been tired. Well, it was inexpensive, and I was able to make decent use of my arrival day, but it was quite disappointing.
お昼に屋久島空港に着いて、午後から参加しました。
紀元杉と、ヤスクギランド50分程度の散策、という能書きでした。
なので、ヤクスギランドは仏陀杉までの50分コースなのだろうと思っていました。
が、車内で「ヤクスギランドでは40分程度散策します。」と運転手さんが仰るのでちょっと嫌な予感が・・・
その予感は的中し、なんと、30分コースの散策のみであっという間に終了してしまいました。
口コミを見ると、その日の担当ドライバー(兼ガイド)さんにもよるみたいですね。
その日は朝から1日コースに参加されてる方が既に4人いて、空港から私を含め3人追加で乗り込んだ感じで、お疲れだったのかもしれません。
まあ安いし、到着日をまあまあ有効に使えましたが、かなり残念でした。

I participated with two female friends. We had very little experience with hiking and trekking, so we had a lot of anxiety, but it was helpful that they called us the day before, allowing us to ask questions. On the day of the hike, we were in a group of seven, and since the path was narrow, we had to walk in a line. It was a bit difficult to hear the guide's voice when we were at the back, but they adjusted the walking pace and break timings for us, so it was manageable. The round trip took 11 hours on the mountain trail, and by the end, my legs felt like stiff sticks, but the sight of the moss-covered rocks, fallen trees, and the presence of a 2000-year-old cedar that appeared when the fog cleared was very impressive. I didn't know how to get on the hiking bus or how to manage the time, so I'm really glad I requested a guided tour. If I have the opportunity to visit again someday, I plan to use their services once more.
友人と女子2人で参加しました。
登山やトレッキングの経験がほとんどなく、たくさん不安がありましたが、前日にお電話を下さり、質問が出来たので助かりました。当日は7人グループで、道が狭く一列に並んで歩く為、どうしても後ろだとガイドさんの声が聞こえず、少し苦労しましたが、歩くペースや休憩のタイミングなどは合わせて下さったので、大丈夫でした。往復11時間の山道、最後は足がカチカチの棒でしたが、苔茂る岩や倒木の光景、霧が晴れた所に現れた樹齢2000年を超える杉の存在感はとても印象的でした。登山バスの乗り方や、時間配分の取り方も分からなかったので、ガイドツアーをお願いして本当に良かったです。いつかまた訪問する機会があれば、その時も利用させて頂こうと思います。

Please avoid tours from this company. Even if they are a bit more expensive, choose tours from other companies. I had a sad and painful experience due to the poor guide. The guide walked so fast that they left all eight participants behind. The explanations were only at the level found in a guidebook (and the voice was so quiet that more than half of the people couldn't hear), and the responses to our questions were inadequate. Without any explanation about additional fees, they lent us equipment and later asked for payment. The difference compared to other guides around us (who were engaging and provided plenty of explanations) was so stark that I became sad halfway through.
When I later communicated this to the roadside station tourism company, they said it was my fault, and there was no proper apology or even a refund for the equipment rental fees. Now I understand why they are cheaper than others. This company's tours should be avoided. I never expected that a once-in-a-lifetime experience would turn out like this.
この会社のツアーは避けてください。少し高くても、他の会社さんのツアーにしてください。とにかく、ガイドさんが悪くて悲しいつらい思いをしました。ツアー参加者8人全員を置いていくほど速く歩く。ガイドブックに載っている程度の説明しかぜず(しかも声が小さく、半分以上の人が聞こえない)、こちらの質問には適当な返事。料金がかかる等の説明なく、道具を貸して後で金払えと言ってくる。とにかく、周りの別のガイドさん(声掛けも説明もたくさんされている方々ばかりでした)との差がひどくて、途中から悲しくなってきました。
道の駅観光さんに後日上記のことを伝えると、私側が悪いそうで、適切な謝罪もなく、道具貸出の料金返金すらありませんでした。他より安い理由がわかりました。この会社のツアーは避けるべきです。一生に一度の経験が、こんな経験になるとは予想していませんでした。

I was a bit anxious because I was the only one in my 50s on a tour of seven people, with everyone else being quite young. However, the guide was very polite and kind, providing various explanations and taking breaks along the way. This made it easy to spend the whole day walking long distances in the rain without it feeling burdensome. Thank you very much. I believe it's best to go on a tour to see Jomon Sugi unless you're very experienced.

It rained continuously from departure to arrival. Initially, I planned to hike from Shiratani Unsuikyo to Jomon Sugi and then to the Arakawa Trailhead, but the trolley path was too monotonous, so I decided to do a round trip in Shiratani Unsuikyo. On the way back, the river was swollen, making for a thrilling crossing. The guide was a bit older, but a veteran, so I felt safe leaving it to him. I was very grateful for his thoughtful care during lunch and breaks!
The next day, I was scheduled to hike Mount Miyanoura, but the guide advised, "It's better to skip it because the rain continues and it's dangerous," so we canceled this time. I would like to request the same guide when I go again next time.
出発~到着までずっと雨。当初白谷雲水峡~縄文杉~荒川登山口の予定でしたが、トロッコ道があまりに単調なので白谷雲水峡にピストン。帰りは川も増水していてスリリングな渡渉になりました。ガイドは少々年配ですが、ベテランガイドさんで、安心しておまかせしていました。昼食時や休憩時もさりげない心遣いに感謝感激!
翌日、宮之浦岳登山の予定でしたが、ガイドさんが『雨が続いて危険だからやめた方がいいよ』と言われたので、今回は中止しました。次回行ったらまたガイドをお願いしたいです。

We participated in a Jomon Sugi trekking tour as a couple, and we were blessed with good weather. It was quite warm for October, and we were able to experience the overwhelming nature of Yakushima, which made us forget our daily lives and return to our childhood spirit. However, due to our usual lack of exercise, both our physical and mental limits were pushed beyond what we expected. Thanks to the generous support and extensive knowledge of our guide, Ishigawa, we were able to have a moving experience at Jomon Sugi and safely return home, for which we are truly grateful.

Since it was a veteran guide, we were able to finish safely until the end.

When I arrived at Awa Port, I received a confirmation call from the guide about tomorrow's trekking. Since I had rented some gear, they brought it to my accommodation around 9:00 PM.
10/7
Departure was at 4:20. The guide picked me up by car at the accommodation. We drove along a winding mountain road and arrived at the entrance of Shiratani Unsuikyo. It was drizzling a bit, so we had breakfast in the car. After breakfast, I paid 1,000 yen at the entrance of Shiratani Unsuikyo, and the trekking began! At Shiratani Unsuikyo, famous for its Forest of the Mononoke, the guide had prepared finger puppets of Kodama, which made for some photogenic moments. The weather cleared up at Taiko Rock, and we were able to enjoy a stunning view! At Wilson Stump, I saw a heart shape. We had lunch after seeing Jomon Sugi. For lunch, the guide prepared tonjiru (pork miso soup). After that, we descended the mountain. Around 3:00 PM, the guide gave me jelly and tankan juice. We proceeded along the trolley path and safely arrived at the Arakawa Trailhead. I took the bus at 4:30 PM and reached the accommodation by 6:00 PM.
〈Impressions〉
- It was very fulfilling and fun! I was worried about covering everything in one day, but with the stamina of a woman in her 20s, it's totally fine even if you don't usually exercise!
- The guide's hospitality was amazing! I don't know if it was personal, but they also gave me tonjiru and dessert. They took a lot of photos, which made for great memories! I was really happy to take a picture with Kodama in the Forest of the Mononoke!!
- I was able to sightsee efficiently! The guide taught us about history and nature. I thought it would be tough to deal with the sweat before heading home if I participated in a half-day tour on the second day.

It was a 24 km trekking tour from Jomon Sugi to Taiko Rock to Shiratani Unsuikyo.
We were guided along the entrance while walking the trolley path, enjoying the highlights.
On the way there, we fully enjoyed the unique cedars in nature, and we had a private moment at the Wilson stump, taking plenty of photos.
It was great to see Jomon Sugi before it got crowded.
On the way back, while climbing Tsujitoge, we were able to see wild monkeys and deer up close, which was a rare experience.
We were also introduced to a location that inspired a Studio Ghibli work along the way, adding to the sense of value in the experience.
We were blessed with good weather, so the view from Taiko Rock was amazing.
The area between Taiko Rock and Shiratani Unsuikyo had fresh greenery and streams, and the green illuminated by the light from the shade of the trees was beautiful.
I also enjoyed the return trip from Shiratani Unsuikyo.
I imagined that a long trek might be tough, but both the way there and the return were filled with excitement as we enjoyed the sights.
It may be greedy, but I think it was three times more enjoyable.
縄文杉→太鼓岩→白谷雲水峡の24㌔のトレッキングツアーでした
入口からトロッコ道を歩きながら、見所を案内して頂きました
行きに自然の中で特徴のある杉を満喫、
ウィルソン株も貸し切りのようなタイミングで、写真撮り放題
縄文杉も混む前でよかったです
帰り途中から辻峠を登っている途中、野生の猿や鹿も
間近で見れ、貴重な体験でした
辻峠の途中にジブリ作品のモデルになった場所も紹介
してもらえ、通り抜けしたお得感も味わえました
天候に恵まれたので、太鼓岩からの景色は最高でした
太鼓岩から白谷雲水峡は新緑も沢もあり、涼しく
木陰からの光に生える緑が綺麗でした
白谷雲水峡からの帰り道も楽しめました
長時間のトレッキングは大変かなと想像していましたが
行きも抜け道も帰りも、見所を満喫しているワクワク感で
欲張りだけど、3倍楽しめると思います

We set off from the lodge in the early hours before dawn, and the tour began with us having breakfast while still half-asleep. I was anxious about my first trekking experience, but the guide frequently checked in with us and carefully considered our pace, making it easy for beginners to climb with confidence. Along the way, we took breaks to hydrate at a spring and, if we had time on the way down, we could go down to the river to ice our feet, providing a truly unique experience. Trekking while enjoying the scenery from "Princess Mononoke" took a total of 11 hours round trip, but it felt like no time at all! When I saw Jomon Sugi, I felt an indescribable sense of accomplishment!
夜も明けきらぬ時間帯に宿を出発し、寝ぼけ眼で朝食を食べることからツアーが始まりました。はじめてのトレッキングで不安でしたが、ガイドさんがこまめに声をかけてきてくれて、ペース配分もしっかり考えてくれるので、はじめての方は安心して登ることができます。途中、水が湧いているスポットで水分補給したり、下山途中に時間がある場合は川に降りて足をアイシングするなど、非日常的な体験をすることができました。「もののけ姫」の風景を楽しみながらのトレッキングは往復で11時間かかったけれど、あっという間でした!縄文杉を見たときは、なんとも言えない達成感でしたね!

It was my first trip to Yakushima. I was torn between the Jomon Sugi course and the Shiratani Unsuikyo course, but I found a course that allows you to experience both in one day. I was a bit anxious about trekking from 4 AM to 6 PM, but thanks to our guide, I was able to enjoy the forest of Yakushima, where the Kodama (tree spirits) are said to reside. I took a lot of photos and created wonderful memories! If I go to Yakushima again, I would love to request the same guide. Thank you for the wonderful experience!
初めての屋久島旅行でした。縄文杉コースか白谷白雲峡コースか迷っていたところ、この2コースを1日で回れるコースを見つけました。4時から18時にかけてトレッキングをするのは不安でしたが、ガイドさんのお陰でこだまのいる屋久島の森を味わうことができました。たくさん写真を撮って頂き、素敵な思い出ができました!また屋久島で行くのであれば同じガイドさんにお願いしたいです。素敵なありがとうございました!!

The day before it rained, so I was worried about the weather, but luckily it only drizzled. Moreover, because of that, there was a rainbow in the view from Taiko Rock! Waking up at four in the morning and walking for nearly half a day was quite tough, but it was worth it.
前日が雨だったので天気が心配でしたが、運よく小雨程度で済みました。しかもそのおかげで太鼓岩からの景色に虹が!!朝四時起きで半日近くあるくのはなかなかきつかったですが、それだけの価値はありました。

On the day I participated, it was raining from the morning, but in the forest, the trees acted like umbrellas, so I didn't feel it much. The guide was considerate and tried to show us good views, but in the end, we couldn't see anything from Taiko Rock due to the fog. However, it felt like we got to see a rare sight, and it was a lot of fun. The Shiratani Unsuikyo in the rain was nice too, with clear air, but I want to come back for a revenge visit on a sunny day next time.
参加した日は朝から雨が降っていましたが、森の中では木が傘の役割を果たしてくれてあまり感じませんでした。ガイドさんは良い景色を見せようと配慮してくださって、結局太鼓岩からは霧で何も見えませんでしたが、逆にレアな景色が見れたようでとても楽しかったです。雨の白谷雲水峡も空気が澄んでいて良かったですが、次は晴れている日にリベンジしたいです。

The Jomon Sugi, which has been a dream of mine since Yakushima became a World Heritage site, was finally within reach for us this time. However, my husband and I are already in our 50s, and the thought of a 22 km, 11-hour trek was daunting, especially since we don't have a regular exercise routine. But when I inquired by phone beforehand, the woman from the tour company was incredibly kind and friendly, which gave me confidence that this tour was the right choice.
On the day of the tour, our guide, Komano, was attentive to all the members, regardless of their age or physical ability. Each of the eight members felt safe and relaxed, allowing us to enjoy the long and challenging journey. I am truly grateful to Komano, our strong and reliable guide, as well as to the younger participants. Their cheerful conversations and singing encouraged us, helping us to overcome the tough parts of the trek. I believe that if even one of them had been missing, my husband and I would not have been able to meet our long-awaited Jomon Sugi. I would like to take this opportunity to express my heartfelt thanks.
屋久島が世界遺産になった当初から憧れだった縄文杉。今回ご縁があってやっと訪れる機会ができましたが、私達夫婦はすでに50代。普段特に運動の習慣もない私たちに22㎞、11時間の行程は不安だらけでしたが、事前に電話で問い合わせた際に対応してくださったツアー会社の女性は、たいへん親切でフレンドリーな方で、“このツアーで間違いない”と確信ができました。当日のツアーでは、ガイドの駒野さんが、年齢も身体能力もバラバラのメンバーにまんべんなく気遣いをしてくださり、8人のメンバーそれぞれが安心し、リラックスしてつらく長い行程を楽しんでいることを常時感じることができました。屈強で頼もしいガイドの駒野さんはもとより、ツアー参加者の若い皆さんに、心より感謝しています。みなさんの楽しいおしゃべりや、歌声によって勇気づけられ、つらい行程をなんとか乗り越えることができました。みなさんのうちの誰一人が欠けても、中年の私たちが念願の縄文杉に会うことはできなかったと思います。この場をお借りし、心よりお礼申し上げます。

While there were points of explanation, it was disappointing that we couldn't stop to take in the surrounding scenery and had to walk in a line of eight without pause. However, I understood that if we didn't do this, we wouldn't have enough time at Jomon Sugi and wouldn't make it back in time for the bus. Our feet, which were not used to walking, were crying out, and we ended up taking too many breaks. If we had gone individually, I definitely think we would have missed the last bus!
ポイントで説明はあるものの、周辺の景色を立ち止まって見ることは叶わず黙々と8人一列で歩くのが残念でした。でも、そうしなければせっかくの縄文杉の所で時間をとれなくなったり、バスの時間に間に合うように戻って来れないんだとわかりましたが。歩く習慣がない悲鳴をあげていた足の私達は休み過ぎてしまい、個人で行ってたら絶対、最終バスに乗れなかったと思います!

Since both my friend and I were beginners at trekking, we decided to join a tour this time, and it was definitely the right choice. Trekking while listening to the guide's explanations was incredibly beneficial, and although it was tough, I think I would have given up if I had gone alone (laughs). We also took a lot of photos, making it a valuable experience.
友達とお互いトレッキングは初心者だったので
今回はツアーに参加しましたが大正解でした。
ガイドさんの説明を聞きながらのトレッキングはすごいためになったし
こまめに休憩など配分もしてくれてきつかったけど個人でいったらリタイアしてたかなっておもいます笑
写真もたくさん撮っていただき貴重な体験ができました

It was a day where I strongly felt the richness and preciousness of nature while walking endlessly. Our guide was an extremely experienced person. They didn't talk much, but they warmly and carefully guided us. I am very, very grateful.
According to the guide, it's best to visit Yakusugi and Shiratani Unsuikyo in one day. I truly felt that this was the case. I am happy to have found this tour and to have met our guide. Thank you very much.
ひたすら歩く中で、自然の豊かさや尊さを強く実感した1日でした。ガイドさんは超ベテランの方。あまり多くを話さないけど、暖かく、丁寧に、私たちを案内してくださいました。凄く凄く、感謝しています。
ガイドさんが言うには、1日で屋久杉と白谷雲水峡を行くのが一番良いのだとか、、。本当にその通りだなぁと実感しました。このツアーを見つけることが出来て、ガイドさんと出会えて、幸せです。ありがとうございました。

Thank you for your submission about your experience. Many customers visiting Yakushima come for a 2-night, 3-day stay. If you want to see both Jomon Sugi and Shiratani Unsuikyo, this course is recommended, but it can be quite challenging if you're not physically fit. Next time you visit, please consider changing the season and either walk each course one by one or explore other courses that you haven't visited yet.

体験談への投稿、ありがとうございます。
屋久島に来島するお客様は、2泊3日で来られる方が多く、縄文杉も白谷雲水峡も見たい場合は、
このコースがお勧めですが、体力がないと、ただただ辛いだけになってしまいます。
また次回お越しの際には、時期を変え、また1つ1つのコースを歩くか、他に訪れていないコースにお越しください。
