I was a bit anxious about participating alone, but the group arrangements were considerate, and I was able to enjoy myself and do my best.
Each guide had a different style, but they were all wonderful, making it a memorable day. (All the guides had a great atmosphere.) Since I walked slowly, I was able to walk behind the guide. There were moments when I thought they were going too fast, but I was able to see Jomon Sugi at a time when there weren't many people around! (It wasn't an unreasonable pace.) I believe that the reason I didn't feel too fatigued the next day, despite not exercising much, was due to the guide's pacing.
Also, since I was in the middle of my journey, I couldn't carry my luggage, so I rented a raincoat and backpack. I brought my own comfortable shoes. When I informed them during the pre-check that I wouldn't be renting shoes, they switched it to poles for me.
They even delivered my luggage to the airport (the person who delivered it was bright and wonderful), which was a great help.
In the morning, there was a bus pick-up, and since I had ordered a bento, I was able to participate without any particular worries. (I prepared my own drink, a 500ml bottle, a folding umbrella, and some snacks for energy along the way.)
I felt joy in being able to see Jomon Sugi, encouraging each other with the people in my group, and having a wonderful guide... I truly think I spent a memorable and great day. Thank you! ✨
1人参加で不安でしたが、グループ分けも多分配慮してあり楽しく頑張ることができました。
ガイドさんによって、グループの色が違って見えましたがとてもいいガイドさんで思い出に残る1日になりました。(どのガイドさんもとても雰囲気が良かったです)
歩くのが遅かったため、ガイドさんの後ろで歩かせてもらいました。早いな…と思う場面もありましたが、あまり人がいないタイミングで縄文杉を見ることができました!(無理な速さではないです)
普段あまり運動をしない私が次の日にあまり疲労が残らなかったのは、ガイドさんのペース配分のおかけだと思います。
また旅の途中ということもあり、荷物を持って行けなかったためカッパとザックをレンタル。靴は、自分の履き慣れたものを持っていきました。事前確認の際に靴はレンタルしないことを伝えるとポール?に変えてくれました。
空港まで荷物も届けてもらえて(届けてくれる方も明るく素敵な方)とても助かりました。
朝もバスでお迎えがあり、お弁当を頼んでいたのでとくに困ることなく安心して参加でしました。
(飲み物500㎖1本、折りたたみ傘、途中でエネルギー補給になる食べ物は自分で用意します)
縄文杉を見ることができた嬉しさと同じグループの人達で励まし合って進んだこと、素敵なガイドさんだったこと…本当に思い出に残るいい1日を過ごせたと思います。
ありがとうございました✨

On the afternoon of our arrival on Yakushima for a 2-night, 3-day stay, we headed to the Moss Forest. We barely reached the minimum number of participants, but just in time (2 days prior), we were able to proceed with the tour. This tour, which goes only to the Moss Forest and does not continue to Taiko Rock, was just the right distance for warming up. It was the only half-day tour available in the afternoon, so it was a great help.
The Moss Forest feels like stepping into the world of "Princess Mononoke" and "Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind." I was moved by the grandeur of the Yakusugi trees and the beauty of the moss. Our guide, Mr. Horikita, grew up on Yakushima and was very knowledgeable about the island and its flora and fauna, sharing a lot of information with us. His calm demeanor provided a sense of reassurance, and he carefully taught us how to put on our gear and tips for hiking.
Yakushima Operations was waiting for us at the airport with a name tag, and the handover of equipment was very smooth. The gear was in excellent condition, allowing us to enjoy our experience comfortably!
2泊3日の屋久島滞在のため、島到着当日午後に苔むす森に出かけました。
ギリギリまで催行最低人数が揃いませんでしたが、本当にギリギリ(2日前)で人数が集まり直前にも関わらず催行いただきました。
苔むす森までで太鼓岩まで行かないこのツアーは、足慣らしにもちょうどよい距離と行程。午後半日のツアーはここしか無かったので助かりました。
苔むす森は、「もののけ姫」や「風の谷のナウシカ」の世界観が広がります。屋久杉の壮大さと苔の美しさに感動。
ガイドさん(堀木田さん)は屋久島育ちの方で、島のことも島の動植物のこともよく知っていて色々教えてくれました。穏やかな口調で安心感があり、装備品の装着方法や山歩きのコツなども丁寧に教えて下さいました。
屋久島オペレーションズさんは、空港到着時に名札を持って待っていてくれて装備品の受け渡しもとてもスムーズでした。装備品はとても綺麗な状態で、快適に楽しむことができました!

Many people come to Shiratani Unsuikyo, so there isn't much time to stop and take a leisurely look. The guide was good. The path isn't difficult, and since you can get there by bus, it might be more comfortable to go without a guide.
多くの人が白谷雲水峡に来るので、立ち止まって、ゆっくり眺める余裕がない。ガイドさんは良かったです。道も難しくないし、バスで来れるので、ガイド無しで行くのが、気が楽かな。

Unfortunately, the Yakusugi trekking was canceled due to rain, but instead, I was taken to Shiratani Unsuikyo.
Because the rain was heavy, we couldn't reach the highlight, Taiko Rock, but the guide provided an excellent experience within the accessible area.
The guide had a wealth of knowledge about the vegetation and history, which was wonderful.
After leaving Shiratani Unsuikyo, we still had some time left, and the guide kindly offered to take us to another place if we wanted, showing great attentiveness and a strong service spirit.
I would love to have the opportunity to try the Yakusugi trekking again.
あいにく、雨で屋久杉トレッキングは中止になってしまったのですが、代わりに白谷雲水峡に連れて行っていただきました。
雨が強かったため、白谷雲水峡も目玉の太鼓岩までは行けなかったのですが、行ける範囲内で目一杯ガイドしていただきました。
植生や歴史に関して豊富な知識をお持ちのガイドさんで素晴らしかったです。
白谷雲水峡を出てからも当初の時間が余っていたため、他にどこか行きたいところがあれば案内する旨お申し出いただくなど、本当に丁寧でサービス精神旺盛なガイドさんで良かったです。
また機会があれば、屋久杉トレッキングリベンジしたいです。

The guide we had has been working in Yakushima for many years. (His main job is as a lumberjack.) He was very knowledgeable about various things and shared many stories with us. His trivia was abundant, and even when others asked questions, his answers were impressive.
He taught us the importance of how to walk while climbing to avoid knee problems and injuries on the way down. He explained it in an easy-to-understand way, using examples from "Demon Slayer," like the different breathing techniques. Even for someone like me who climbs mountains every week, I was able to climb and descend much more easily. I felt he was a specialist, and it was a valuable learning experience.
There are many guides available, so I can't speak for the others, but the guide we had was truly excellent.
It rained, but we were able to enjoy a round trip to Jomon Sugi. Thank you very much. At the very end, I was lucky to see the Yakushima deer siblings.
Since Yakushima has a lot of rain, I used a backpack cover, rainwear, and a folding umbrella while walking along the trolley tracks before entering the mountain path. Even though I wore Gore-Tex rainwear and had a backpack cover, my backpack got wet, and my T-shirt was damp, so I think it's better to put items in a plastic bag and have a change of clothes after descending.
屋久島で長年やっているガイドさんでした。
(本業は木こりさん)
なので、色々な事がとても詳しく、色々なお話をしてもらえました。
雑学も豊富で、私もそうですが、他の方が色々質問しても、感心してしまうほどのお答えが。
また、下山の時に膝がガクガクして歩けない、怪我をするという事がないように、行きの登り方が大切だと、山登りの歩き方をわかりやすいように、教えてくれました。
(鬼滅の刃に例えて、〇〇の呼吸など)
毎週山登りをしている私でも、より一層楽に登り、下山する事ができました。
スペシャリストだなと感じ、勉強になりました。
多数のガイドさんがいるので、他のガイドさんはわかりませんが、担当して下さったガイドさんは、本当に良かったです。
雨でしたが、楽しく縄文杉まで往復する事ができました。
ありがとうございました。
最後の最後に、ヤクシカの兄弟にも会えてラッキーでした。
屋久島は雨が多いので、ザックカバー、レインウェア、山道に入るまでのトロッコの線路を歩く時は、折りたたみの傘を使用しました。
ゴアテックスのレインウェアを着て、ザックカバーを付けていても、ザックの中が濡れていたり、Tシャツが濡れていたので、ザックの中な物をビニール袋に入れたり、下山してから着替えがあった方が良いと思います。

At the photo spot, the guide took pictures for us, creating wonderful memories. They shared interesting information about Yakushima's characteristics, the plants, and the highlights of the area, which I found very engaging. The moss-covered forest was also fantastic, but the journey to get there was mystical and very healing.
Since I usually don't move around much, the half-day course at Shiratani Unsuikyo was just right for me.
撮影スポットでは、ガイドさんが写真を撮ってくれていい思い出が残りました。
屋久島の特徴や、植物の事、その場の見どころなどを話して頂き、とても興味深かったです。
苔むす森もとても良かったですが、そこに行くまでも道のりも神秘的でとても癒されました。

Thanks to our guide's accurate judgment to go to Taiko Rock before lunch, we were able to enjoy the wonderful view from Taiko Rock! Additionally, we were grateful to have miso soup prepared for us during lunchtime. While walking and during short breaks, we learned a lot about Yakushima's environment, plants, and the lives of its people, for which I am thankful! In the end, the rain we were worried about never came. It was the best day, guided by an amazing guide.

I participated alone, but I was able to enjoy seeing Jomon Sugi with a friendly group of four people. The guide was from Yakushima and shared many interesting stories about the differences between the past and present, as well as local customs, making for a fun tour. All four participants happened to be physically fit, and since we had some time before the bus, we were introduced to some hidden spots that are not part of the usual course. I was definitely sore the next day, but it became a wonderful memory.
1人での参加でしたが、計4人のグループで和気あいあいと縄文杉を見ることができました。ガイドさんは屋久島出身の方で、昔と今の違いや地元の風習など、多くのエピソードを交えながらの楽しいツアーでした。参加者4人が偶然にも体力がある方で、バスの時間まで余裕があった為に、普段のコースでは無い穴場スポットまで紹介して頂きました。翌日は流石に筋肉痛になりましたが、とても良い思い出になりました。

The guide seemed tired, treating it as just a routine job. Even when I tried to talk to him, he didn't respond and continued to silently wave us over with his hands. Despite there being beginners in the group, he didn't even look back and seemed anxious about the return time, rushing us along. He mentioned that our ability to climb the mountain would determine whether we could reach Jomon Sugi. The atmosphere was filled with silent pressure and a condescending attitude, making it feel like we were about to be scolded. Everything about his words, attitude, and behavior felt cold, which was disappointing.
On the other hand, the other guides were friendly, and everyone seemed to be having a great time! I felt a bit envious. However, since I wanted to fully enjoy the beautiful scenery and nature, I decided not to let it bother me. Fortunately, the other participants were all nice, which was a relief. I believe the safety measures and guidance were at least minimally guaranteed, for which I am grateful. I would rate the guide a 20 out of 100 (being a bit generous).

We participated with six male company employees aged between 20 and 60. We were supposed to join five years ago in January, but we had to give up due to heavy snow (we ended up just exploring the island).
This time, we made a second attempt in early December, and the weather was great—not too hot, with a little rain that added to the charm, making for a wonderful time. The guide was very kind, and we were able to see plants that we wouldn't normally encounter, as well as spot some Yakushima monkeys by chance. We enjoyed a pleasant walk while listening to explanations.
The remaining trek from Wilson's Stump was tough, but the sense of accomplishment when we reached Jomon Sugi was incredible, and it was very moving.
The pre-trip packing list was very clear, making it easy to visualize what to prepare for our first trekking experience. The plan allowed us to prioritize enjoying the trip. Above all, since this is a potentially dangerous activity that could lead to injuries, I think having a guided tour is reassuring. If I have the opportunity, I would like to try again.
20代から60代会社員男性6名で参加しました。5年前の1月に参加予定でしたが大雪の為断念。(島内を散策で終わりました)
今回12月初旬に再チャレンジで天気も良好で暑すぎず、少量の雨天で風情も出ていて素敵な時間でした。
ガイドさんもとても親切で、普段見る事の出来ない植物を見れ、動物(屋久猿)も偶然見る事もでき、説明を聞きながら楽しく散策する事が出来ました。
ウイルソン株からの残り道のりはたいへんでしたが、縄文杉に着いた時の達成感は半端なく気持ちもよく、感動しました。
事前の持ち物リストも大変わかりやすく、初めてのトレッキングにしては服装の準備などイメージがしやすい配慮がなされており、旅行を楽しむことを優先できるプランでした。
なにより怪我にもつながる危険なアクティビティでもある為ガイドさん有ツアーが安心かと思います。機会があれば再度チャレンジしてみたいと思いました。

I was apprehensive about participating since mountain climbing experience was a must and it would be a test of physical strength. Waking up early was tough, but the flat trolley path was long, and it wasn't as difficult as I had expected.

登山経験がマストで体力勝負ということで、どんなふうにきついのか怯えて参加。
早起きがしんどいのはあったが、フラットなトロッコ道時間が長く、思っていたほどのきつさではなかった。天候に恵まれて雨が一切降らなかったというのが、大きな一因と考えられるが、ガイドさんの写真撮影が上手で楽しかった。

I have visited Yakushima several times and have participated in activities with Veltra alone on a few occasions! I really appreciate that there are options available for solo participants.
This time, we trekked in constant bad weather and got completely soaked, but the other participants were all great people, and we were able to help each other finish the trek! Comparing sunny days to rainy days, I personally felt that there was about a threefold difference in physical stamina. On rainy days, our speed inevitably suffers, so we took shorter breaks and opted for steeper shortcuts to make it back on time!
I really wanted to take more photos, but I think I’ll save that challenge for a sunny day!
I was advised in advance that the summit might be frozen in December, so I brought a shell trainer for snowy mountains and a rain suit that cost around 10,000 yen. However, the shell trainer was too hot, and the rain suit was pointed out to be of poor quality and inappropriate. To avoid trouble, I think it’s preferable to rent equipment!
何度か屋久島には来ており、何度かベルトラのアクティビティに1人参加しております!
1人でも参加可能なものがあるのは大変ありがたいです。
今回は終始悪天候でずぶ濡れになりながらのトレッキングでしたが、参加メンバーは良い方たちばかりで、助け合いながら終えることができました!
晴れの日と雨の日を比べると、個人的には体力3倍くらい差があるなと感じました。
雨の日はどうしてもスピードが劣るので、晴れの日よりも休憩は短く、緩やかな道より険しめな近道を通り、爆速で進んでやっと時間内に終わる事が出来ました!
本当はもっと写真撮ったりしたかったですが、それは晴れの日にチャレンジしようと思います!
12月で山頂は凍結しているかもと事前にアドバイス頂き、雪山用のシェルトレーナーと、1万くらいのレインスーツを持参したのですが、雪山用は暑すぎるし、レインスーツは粗悪で不適切だと指摘されてしまったので、トラブルを避けるためにも装備はレンタルが好ましいと思います!

The guide was amazing! It was great that there were only two small groups of solo travelers and that there were fewer climbers that day. The guide was a local and shared so much about Yakushima, including stories about the ancient cedar trees, moss, and plants. They also took many photos for us, making it a truly enjoyable day.
It required a lot of stamina to reach Jomon Sugi, but the sense of accomplishment became an unforgettable memory. Thank you for a lifetime of memories!
ガイドさんが最高でした!ひとり旅×2組の少人数・登山客が少ない日だった事も良かったです。ガイドさんが地元の方で、屋久島の話や屋久杉の話はもちろん、苔や植物の話などたくさん教えていただき、写真も撮っていただき、本当に楽しい一日になりました。
縄文杉までは体力が必要でしたが、達成感は何にも変えられない思い出になりました。一生の思い出をありがとうございました!

I signed up for the tour because I was worried about the snow conditions and the path. It's true that you can climb without a tour, but I really enjoyed hearing the guide's stories about Yakushima's history, geography, plants, and animals.
雪の状況と道筋が不安でツアーに申しこみました。確かにツアー無しでも登れますが、ガイドさんの屋久島の歴史や地形、植物や動物について沢山のお話しを聞くことができとても楽しかったです。
