There is a sense of excitement on-site that cannot be captured in photos. I believe it is worth it, even more so than the exhaustion the next day. The trolley path along the way became an enjoyable journey thanks to the guide's explanations.
写真では感じられない現地での迫力があります。翌日の疲労困憊にも増してその価値があると思います。途中のトロッコ道もガイドさんの説明を聞くことで楽しい道中になりました。
装備(レインスーツ、軽登山靴、ザック)は必須です。もしも雨ならトロッコ道は傘を使った方がいいかも。

At first, I walked along a gentle trolley path. It was very enjoyable to walk on a trail full of nature. After that, I walked on steep paths like stone stairs and wooden paths. My feet were a bit sore, but when I reached Jomon Sugi, I felt an unprecedented sense of accomplishment. It was drizzling a little, and I couldn't see the distant mountains, but I was able to experience beautiful scenery that I usually don't get to see, like moss with raindrops on it and snow that hadn't completely melted yet. Thank you to everyone who climbed with me!
初めはなだらかなトロッコ道を歩きました。自然たっぷりの道を歩けてとても楽しかったです。その後は、石の階段や木の道など、険しい道を歩きました。足は少しつらかったですが、縄文杉まで登れたときはこれまでにない達成感を感じられました。雨が少し降っていて、遠くの山は見ることができませんでしたが、雨の雫がついた苔やまだ溶けきっていない雪など、普段見られない景色が見れてとても良い経験ができました。一緒に登ってくださったみなさまありがとうございました!
If you lack confidence in your legs, I think it's a good idea to bring a walking stick.

I considered renting a car, but taking the bus tour was the right choice. It takes quite a bit of time to reach an elevation of 1200 meters, and the road from Yakusugi Land to the Jomon Sugi is narrow and challenging. The guide's explanations were easy to understand and very helpful. I appreciated being dropped off at the hotel.
レンタカーも考えましたが、バスツアーで正解でした。標高1200mまで結構時間はかかるし、ヤクスギランドから紀元杉までは道も狭くて大変です。ガイドさんの解説もわかりやすくて良かったです。

I wanted to see Jomon Sugi at least once in my life, so I decided to join the tour alone. I hadn't done much hiking since elementary school, and I usually only walk about 4,000 to 5,000 steps a day, so I was very anxious.
About 60 to 70% of the trail was paved with wooden boards, but since it was March, it was quite slippery as we approached the summit, and some people fell.
It was a long journey, but encouraging each other with the group and walking in the magnificent nature of Yakushima to see the majestic Jomon Sugi was an incredible feeling of accomplishment! The guide welcomed us warmly from the moment we met and took many photos for us. I felt like our group was relatively young, so we might have walked a bit faster than other guides, but I think it was good that we were able to walk at a comfortable pace.
人生で1回は縄文杉を見てみたいと思い1人で参加を決めました。私は登山も小学校以来したことがほぼなく、普段も4〜5,000歩ほどしか歩いていなかったため、とても不安でした。
道は6、7割は木の板で舗装されていましたが、3月ということもあり山頂に行くほど滑りやすく、転んだ方もいました。
長い道のりでしたが、グループの皆さんと声を掛け合い、屋久島の大自然の中で歩いて荘厳な縄文杉を見れた時の達成感はすごかったです!
ガイドの方は初めて会った時から優しく出迎えてくれて、写真もたくさんとっていただきました。私たちのグループが比較的若い方だったからか、他のガイドさんよりも少し早めのスピードだった気がしますが、余裕を持って歩けたのはよかったのかなと思います。
I wasn't confident in my physical strength, but surprisingly, once I participated, I realized I could climb. It seems that even people as old as 90 are climbing, and I got the impression that there we

It started with trekking in the rain while wearing rain gear from the trailhead, but the Jomon Sugi, shrouded in misty rain, was mystical and truly beautiful.
As a solo traveler in my senior years, I prepared for concerns about my physical stamina by trying to walk as much as possible without using public transportation and by doing longer hikes on low mountains. However, after reading reviews, I was worried that some people had unpleasant experiences with certain guides, which lingered until the day of the trek.
In reality, the group was organized mainly with people of similar ages and other solo participants, which eased my mind. Most importantly, the guide managed the pace by adjusting the timing and length of breaks, and shared stories about plants and history at key points that I wouldn't have known without guidance, making the long walking time feel less painful. They also took beautiful photos for us. Thank you very much!
I wished I could have taken more time to enjoy the scenery, but considering the distance for a day trip, there was nothing that could be done about that. The long, long trolley path was daunting to walk through with a headlamp in the dark on the way there, but on the return, I was moved to realize, "I walked through this," which felt refreshing.
登山口からレインウェアを着ての雨の中のトレッキングとなりましたが、煙る雨にそびえる縄文杉も神秘的でとても素敵でした。
シニアの年齢の一人旅。
体力面での不安は、日常的に交通機関を使わずなるべく歩くようにしたり、長めの低山縦走をしたりで備えました。ただ、こちらの口コミを読むと、ガイドさんによっては不快な思いをされている方もいらっしゃるようで、この不安は当日までぬぐえませんでした。
実際はまず、グループが近い年齢の方、また同じように一人参加の方を中心に編成していただいていて気が楽になりました。何よりガイドさんが、休憩のタイミングや長さなどでペース配分してくださりつつ、案内なしでは知ることができなかった植物や歴史についての話を要所要所でしてくださったので、長い歩行時間も苦痛に感じませんでした。写真もきれいに撮っていただきました。ありがとうございました!
もっとゆっくり景色を見たかった思いはあるのですが、日帰りであの距離を、、、と思うとこればかりはどうしようもありません。
長い長いトロッコ道でしたが、行きはヘッドライトで暗い中をこわごわ歩いてわからなかった景色が、帰りに「この中を歩いてたんだ」、と新鮮に思えたのも感動でした。

It was very educational, and I had a wonderful time. I gave up on seeing the Jomon Sugi due to physical limitations, but I was able to see the Jigen Sugi, and I'm really glad I joined this tour.

In the moss-covered space I expected, I was energized by the various trees, including Yakusugi, which grow tall and firmly root themselves even in limited soil. I observed the coexistence of second and third-generation cedars, along with many other species intricately overlapping. The vitality that connects even natural disasters to the forest's survival was truly inspiring. The guide provided timely and appropriate explanations, making the walk enjoyable.
期待通りの苔むした空間に、少ない土でも広くしっかり根をはり高く伸びる屋久杉をはじめ様々な木々、二代・3代杉や着生して何種類もの木が複雑に重なり合いながら共存する様、自然災害をも森の存続につなげる生命力にエネルギーを十分もらいました。

I heard that due to the severe cold wave, it has often been difficult to reach Jomon Sugi recently, so I thought it would be nice to at least make it partway there. However, thanks to our guide Yoshioka's appropriate encouragement, perfect pacing, and consideration, I was able to reach the end. Walking in the snow was challenging, but he taught us how to walk properly, so I started to get the hang of it. I learned a lot, not just about mountain climbing but also various other things. I'm really glad I participated because I was able to see such beautiful scenery.
大寒波の影響でここ最近は縄文杉までたどり着けないことが多いと聞き、途中まででも行ければいいかと思いながらの参加でした。
しかし、ガイドの吉岡さんの適度な脅しと完璧なペース配分と気遣いのおかげで最後までたどり着くことができました。雪の中を歩くのは難しかったですが、歩き方も教えてくれたのでコツがつかめてきました。山登りだけでなく色々なことが聞けて勉強になりました。とても美しい景色を見ることができたので参加して本当によかったです。

When I made the reservation for February 18 last September, I was informed that "there might be snow in February." Just as expected, I heard three days ago that "due to last week's cold wave, the Jomon Sugi Trail has snow, and the road to the trailhead is completely closed." I was half resigned to this, but during a phone call the day before, I was pleasantly surprised to hear, "The road has opened today, so the trekking tomorrow will proceed, but there is still snow up to knee height, so if you're okay with a tour to wherever we can go, please join us. If you decide not to participate due to the conditions, we will refund you in full." However, we decided to go as far as we could, and in the end, we made it to the Sugi tree. After consulting with the other two groups of four participants and our guide, we decided to turn back here. Everyone was satisfied with this decision. I also thought that the snowy path would be tiring, so I agreed to turn back. The guide provided detailed explanations along the way and even made coffee for us, which was greatly appreciated. I think participating in this tour was a good decision.
2月18日の予約を去年の9月にしたときに、「2月は雪もあります」ということは聞いていました。ドンピシャで「先週の寒波で縄文杉トレイルは積雪、登山口までの道路は全面通行止め」と3日前の電話の時にお聞きしていました。半分あきらめていましたが、前日の電話では、なんと!「今日から通行できるようになりましたので明日のトレッキングは開催できますが、途中、膝くらいまで雪が残っているので、行けるところまでのツアーでもよければ参加ください。もし、状況的に今回は不参加なら、全額返金します。」というお話をいただきました。でも、行けるところまで行ってみようということで、結局三代杉まで行ってきました。同行の2組4名さんとガイドさんとの相談でここで引き返そうと決まりました。皆さん、今日はこれで満足ということでした。私も、雪道は疲れると思い、引き返すことに賛成しました。ガイドさんは道中、細かく説明もしてくれて、コーヒーもいれてくれて、大変よくしてくださいました。今回のツアー参加はよかったと思っています。

It was quite cold at the end of the year. The trolley path on the way there was frozen, and crossing a bridge without handrails made me nervous, thinking I could break a bone if I fell. With a headlamp in one hand, I kept walking, walking, walking. I took a heart-shaped photo at the Wilson tree and felt healed. From here, due to the deep snow, I put on crampons and set off. After climbing up and down the snow-covered mountain path, I finally reached Jomon Sugi. I took many photos from two observation points. What a magnificent size it was. Having achieved my goal, I headed back. I walked the trolley path again, which was especially tough on the way back. The scenery didn’t change, which was disheartening. I had to return before the 5 PM departure of the return bus, so I couldn’t take my time. The poor footing on the trolley path made me look down while walking, causing pain in my neck and shoulders, and I continued walking while enduring calf pain. With five members encouraging each other, we were able to return without anyone dropping out. Thank you to our guide for the strict yet precise instructions.

(Regarding the rental of crampons)
I was told over the phone that the rental fee was 500 yen, but when I received them the day before, it was 1000 yen, and I was told that the guide would teach me how to put them on. However, on the day of the trek, the guide asked me why I hadn't practiced at the lodge and called me clumsy. Additionally, the guide questioned why I had crampons when I had said spikes would be fine! It seemed there was a lack of communication.
(About the trekking)
On the day of the trek, to catch the 5 PM bus, we walked quickly along the trolley path, and when someone at the back of the group couldn't keep up, the guide made negative comments about them to others and even told the person themselves that they were holding everyone back. Even if that was true, I felt it wasn't necessary to say it that way. I had expected the guides to provide detailed information about Yakushima's nature, but the guides on-site seemed to be pressed for time. I understand that they have a responsibility to guide the group, but it was a bit disappointing. The guide told everyone that anyone could reach Jomon Sugi if they took their time, but with a tour, it becomes a group activity with time constraints, and if we went past 5 PM, the taxi fare would exceed the accommodation cost. I think this point should have been discussed during the confirmation call the day before.
(Positive aspects)
The positive aspect was that I was able to see Jomon Sugi properly and make it back down.
(アイゼンの貸し出しについて)
電話では貸し出し500円と言われたが、前日に渡されたときは1000円で、アイゼンの付け方はガイドが教えてくれると言われました。
しかし、当日ガイドさんにはなんで宿で勉強してないんだ、不器用だと言われました。
また、ガイドさんからなぜアイゼンを持っているのか、スパイクでいいって言ったのに!!と言われ、連携が取れてないんだなと思いました。
(トレッキングについて)
当日は、17時のバスに間に合わせるために、トロッコ道は早いペースで黙々と歩き、グループの最後尾にいた人が追いつかずにいると、ガイドさんが他の人に最後尾の人の悪口を言ったり、本人にもあなたが足を引っ張っていると言ってて、それが事実だとしてもそこまでいう必要はないと思いました。
ガイドというと、屋久島の自然ついて詳しく教えてもらえると思っていましたが、現場のガイドさんたちは時間に追われてる印象です。ガイドさんたちにも、案内する責任もあるので、仕方ないと思うですが、少し残念な気持ちでした。
ガイドさんはグループのみんなに、縄文杉は時間をかければ誰でもいけるが、ツアーとなると集団行動になり時間制限があって、17時を過ぎるとタクシー代が宿代以上にかかると話していました。
その点については、前日の電話での確認事項のときに、話しておいた方がいいと思います。
(良かった点)
良かった点は、ちゃんと縄文杉を見れて、下山できたことです。
If you have the budget and time, I recommend hiring a personal guide.
お金や時間に余裕がある方は個人ガイドをおすすめします。

I was overwhelmed by the presence of the Jomon-sugi, which is said to be 7,200 years old, as it has been growing in this place since the seeds fell to the ground.

I went on the Jomon Sugi tour followed by the Shiratani Unsuikyo tour on consecutive days, and I must say, the Shiratani Unsuikyo tour was incredibly enjoyable. The breathtaking view from Taiko Rock left me speechless.
Many people, like myself, who visit Jomon Sugi the day before tend to opt for the half-day course to the mossy forest due to fatigue, but it's only an additional 40 minutes to reach Taiko Rock, so I highly recommend going. The muscle pain and fatigue aren't bothersome while climbing, and adding 40 minutes doesn't make much of a difference. Plus, you get to enjoy a stunning view and have a leisurely lunch, making it quite worthwhile.
As expected from a gorge, there is plenty of water and moss, creating a very mystical and refreshing atmosphere. It feels so surreal that you can't help but wonder when the Kodama or mountain deities might appear.
連日、縄文杉ツアー→白谷雲水峡ツアーと行きましたが、結果からして白谷雲水峡ツアーが楽しすぎました。中でも太鼓岩からの絶景には言葉を失います。
私のように前日に縄文杉に行くと、疲労から白谷雲水峡ツアーを苔むす森までの半日コースにされる方が多いようですが、太鼓岩までは+40分ほどなので、絶対に行った方がいいです。筋肉痛や疲労は登っていれば気にならず40分増やしたところで大して変わらないですし、絶景を一望できるうえ、昼食もゆっくり摂れるので色々とお得です🙆♀️

Since it was a trekking tour, I expected it to be like hiking, but in reality, it's quite difficult in light clothing and consumes a lot of energy. For those who don't have much experience and can't imagine what equipment is necessary, I recommend renting everything.
On the day of the tour, it was rare for December to have snow, which made it particularly challenging to navigate beyond the trolley path. I didn't have the luxury to enjoy the scenery; it was more of a battle to avoid slipping. However, the sight of Jomon Sugi after all the hard work was overwhelming, and all my fatigue disappeared.
There are several breaks along the way, and you can take photos at places like the Wilson stump, so you can keep good records of your experience, and the fatigue becomes manageable. I definitely recommend this for those who don't often have the opportunity to go.
トレッキングツアーということだったので、ハイキング感覚でいましたが、実際には軽装では難しいですし、体力を結構消費しますので、あまり経験がなくどんな装備が必要かイメージが付かない方は、全てレンタルすることをオススメします。
当日は12月では珍しく雪も降った日だったことも相まって、特にトロッコ道から先の行き来に関しては、景色を満喫する余裕もなく、滑落しないかの戦いでなかなかシビアでした。
ですが、苦労の末の縄文杉の姿には圧倒され、疲れがすっかり吹き飛びます。

I participated after building up some stamina, but the recent route changes due to the typhoon were particularly challenging. I felt that sufficient physical strength was necessary.
It’s hard to know until the day of the trek, but I think compatibility with the guide is also important for enjoying the experience. This time, our guide pointed out our lack of stamina.
The scenery was very beautiful. The rivers that spread out before us, the many cedars along the way, and the moss-covered forest at the end were breathtaking. It was a wonderful experience to see all of these!
それなりに体力をつけてから参加しましたが、最近の台風によるルート変更(迂回路)は特に苦労しました。十分な体力が必要と感じました。
当日にならないとわかりませんが、トレッキングを楽しむ上ではガイドさんとの相性も大事だと思います。今回私たちは、ガイドさんから体力の無さを指摘されました。
景色はとても美しかったです。道中で目の前に広がる川やたくさんの杉、最後の苔むす森は絶景です。これらが見られて、とても良い体験でした!
Even though it's a tour for those who do not have trekking gear, physical strength is still required. I recommend building up your stamina before participating!
トレッキング装備を持ち合わせていない方向けのツアーとはいえ体力が必要です。

I considered whether to join a tour or go individually based on the cost, and it was the right choice to go with the tour. Given the 10-hour round trip and the presence of dangerous areas, I had some concerns, but having a guide made me feel secure during the climb.
Additionally, I learned detailed knowledge and discovered hidden photo spots that I wouldn't have found online, allowing me to have a wonderful time.
金額を考えてツアーにするか個人で行くか検討しましたが、ツアーにして正解でした。
往復10時間かかる点や危険な場所などもある点から不安の要素があった為、ガイドさんがいてくれたことで安心して登山できました。
また、細かな知識や穴場の写真スポットなどネット以外の情報も教えてもらい、楽しい時間を送らせていただきました。

I was able to visit the long-awaited Jomon Sugi, and I felt that its grandeur and the timelessness of the place are truly valuable experiences that can only be appreciated in person! I was a bit worried about the rain, but it held off, and since it was the off-season, it was almost like having the place to myself. I was able to take my time enjoying sights like the Wilson stump's heart and take plenty of photos! Winter can be a bit cold, but personally, I found it manageable and would recommend it.
On the way back, I used the local bus, which allowed me to stop at the airport without any additional charges and relax my whole body (especially my legs) at the onsen (Manten). I definitely want to come back for a mental and physical refresh!
念願の縄文杉を訪れることができ、その迫力と悠久の時は、直接見た方が分かる価値だと感じました!
少し雨が心配でしたが何とか持ち、またオフシーズンで、贅沢ながらほぼ貸し切り状態だったこともあり、ウイルソン株のハート他、マイペースで見るだけでなく、写真も思う存分撮ることが出来ました!冬は少し寒いですが、個人的にはそれほどでもなくお勧めと思いました。
また帰りは、路線バスを活用したからか、急遽追加料金無しで、空港下車で温泉(まんてん)で全身(特に足)の疲れを癒すことが出来ました。また心身のリフレッシュに来たいと思います!

We participated as a family of four. It was a lucky day with no rain and very nice weather. The difficult parts were tough, but it was okay since we took breaks. We are grateful to the guide for kindly serving us miso soup and tea during lunch.
家族4人で参加でした。
雨が1滴も降らずとても天気が良くラッキーな日でした。
難所は大変ですが休憩しながらだったので大丈夫でした。
ガイドさんが優しくランチの時などお味噌汁やお茶をサービスしてくださり感謝です。

On the first day, they pick you up at the airport and also drop you off at your accommodation on the way back, allowing you to efficiently use half a day. It's helpful since many taxi drivers dislike short distances. The 30-minute course at Yakusugi Land and the Jomon Sugi were enjoyable, with the guide providing thorough explanations.
初日、空港まで迎えに来てくれますし、帰りも宿まで送ってくださるので、効率的に半日が使えます。
近距離だと嫌がるタクシードライバーも多いので助かります。
屋久杉ランド30分コースや紀元杉も、ガイドさんが丁寧に説明してくださり、楽しかったです。
Yakusugi Land is easy to explore, and if you're planning to visit Jomon Sugi the next day like we did, it's a great warm-up. The guide was also a fun person.
屋久杉ランドは、気楽にまわれますし、私たちの様に次の日に縄文杉に行く場合は肩慣らしになって、ちょうどよいです。
ガイドさんも、楽しい人でした。

There were tough moments where I was out of breath, but overall, it was so much fun that I couldn't believe I was walking such a long distance. Just being in the mountains felt great, and there were various stimuli that really got my adrenaline pumping.
途中、息が上がる辛い部分もありましたが、長距離を歩いてるとは思えないぐらい終始楽しかった。山の中はいるだけで気持ちよくて、でもいろいろな刺激もあって、アドレナリンが出まくりでした。

Thank you very much for your great support during the Jomon Sugi tour the other day.
At first, I was filled with anxiety, wondering, "Will I be able to walk such a long distance?" and "Will I be okay with the steep mountain climb?" I was nervous about the early morning departure in the dark, but our veteran guide, who looked 47 years old (I heard he is actually 57!), eased my tension with his gentle tone, allowing me to start walking with confidence.
Although we were a team of strangers, thanks to the guide's consideration, we began to bond by discussing where we were all from, and we united in our goal to reach Jomon Sugi. The enjoyable atmosphere along the way and the time spent encouraging each other became truly precious memories.
What made me particularly happy were the photos taken by the guide! Not only did he provide explanations about the mountains, but his photography skills rivaled those of a professional, capturing our images beautifully. He advised, "You can find landscape photos online, so it's important to capture yourself," which made me realize the significance of preserving travel memories. His ability to encapsulate the grandeur of Jomon Sugi in a single photo was truly that of a photographer.
Through this tour, I gained not only an appreciation for the greatness of Yakushima's nature but also confidence in connecting with others and taking on new challenges. I sincerely thank the guide for his wonderful guidance and thoughtfulness.
If I have the opportunity to visit Yakushima again, I would definitely like to request your services once more. Please take care of yourself and continue to provide wonderful experiences to many others.
先日は縄文杉ツアーで大変お世話になり、誠にありがとうございました。
初めは、「こんなに長い距離を歩けるだろうか?」「急な山登りは大丈夫だろうか?」と不安でいっぱいでした。まだ暗い早朝の出発で緊張していましたが、見た目年齢47歳(実年齢57歳と伺いました!)のベテランガイドさんが優しい口調で緊張をほぐしてくださり、安心して歩き出すことができました。
知らない人同士のチームでしたが、ガイドさんの配慮のおかげでお互いにどこから来たのか話し合ったりするうちに仲良くなり、一致団結して縄文杉を目指すことができました。道中での楽しい雰囲気や、みんなで励まし合いながら進む時間は、本当に貴重な思い出となりました。
中でも特に嬉しかったのは、ガイドさんが撮ってくださった写真です!山の説明だけでなく、プロ顔負けの写真技術で、自分たちの姿を美しく撮っていただけたことに感激しました。「風景の写真はネットで見られるから、いかに自分を撮るかが大切」とアドバイスをいただき、旅の思い出を形に残す大切さを改めて実感しました。縄文杉の迫力を一枚の写真に収めるその技術は、まるで写真家さんそのものでした。
今回のツアーを通じて、屋久島の自然の偉大さだけでなく、人とのつながりや自分自身の新しい挑戦への自信を得ることができました。ガイドさんの素晴らしい案内とお心遣いに、心より感謝申し上げます。
またいつか屋久島を訪れる機会があれば、ぜひまたお願いしたいと思っています。どうかお身体に気をつけて、これからも多くの方々に素晴らしい体験を届けてください。

I was really worried about whether I could complete it due to my usual lack of exercise. However, with encouragement from the guide and everyone in the group, I was simply moved when I finally arrived at Jomon Sugi. I'm glad I was able to see it while I can still move.
日頃の運動不足から完遂出来るか不安でなりませんでした。
ガイドさんやパーティの皆に励まされ、無事縄文杉に到着出来た時にはただただ感動でした。
まだ動ける内に見に行けて良かったです。

It rained from the morning, and my mood was gloomy. The tour started with the guide's welcome, and I was excited when they said, "The mossy forest is nice even in the rain." With incredibly detailed explanations and thoughtful care, it turned out to be a really enjoyable tour despite the rain. I was fortunate to have a great guide, making it a memorable trip even in the rain.
朝から雨。気分はどんより。ガイドさんのお迎えからツアーはスタートしましたが、「苔むすの森は雨もいいよ」と言ってもらえて期待が高まりました。すっごく丁寧な説明と気配りで雨でもすごく楽しいツアーとなりました。良いガイドさんに巡り会えて、雨でも思い出に残る旅になりました。
