As a beginner in mountain climbing, I was worried about the difficulty of managing my pace on the 20km round trip, but the experienced guide helped set the pace, allowing me to climb with peace of mind! Additionally, they were very kind, offering us sweet red bean rice cakes and candy along the way.登山初心者の自分には往復20kmの工程はペースが掴みづらいという不安がありましたが、ベテランのガイドさんがペースメイキングしてくれて、安心して登山できました! また、途中で豆大福やアメをくれたりして、とてもやさしいガイドさんでした。

Dear Pierre,
Thank you for your feedback on your experience. The guide for the Mame Daifuku tour was likely Ikko Hidaka. I believe he brought a fun and lively atmosphere with his jokes. I will share your comments with Ikko as well. It was an honor to assist you with your Jomon Sugi trekking. If you have the opportunity to visit Yakushima again, please feel free to reach out.

The day before, I went trekking at Shiratani Unsuikyo, and on the second day, I was set to trek to Jomon Sugi.
It rained heavily from the middle of the night, which made me a bit worried, but I woke up at 3:30 AM, took the shuttle bus to the Arakawa trailhead, and set off with an umbrella in the rain.

It rained heavily from the middle of the night, which made me a bit worried, but I woke up at 3:30 AM, took the shuttle bus to the Arakawa trailhead, and set off with an umbrella in the rain. About an hour into the hike, near the ruins of the Kosugidani settlement, thunder started rumbling, and we took shelter for 20 minutes. Ultimately, we had to turn back, and only our group and the tour group from the travel company returned, while the other groups continued on towards Jomon Sugi.
After about an hour of walking back and forth on the trolley path, the trekking ended, and we took the bus back to the hotel. To be honest, I was hoping for at least a partial refund or some alternative guidance, but unfortunately, there was nothing, which was disappointing. It turned out to be an expensive trekking experience. 前日に白谷雲水峡のトレッキングに行き、2日目は縄文杉トレッキングへ

Thank you for participating in the Yamakara Shiratani Unsuikyo and Jomon Sugi trekking tour. We also appreciate your high rating of the Shiratani Unsuikyo tour and your valuable experience sharing for future participants regarding Jomon Sugi.
To clarify, regarding the return descent during the Jomon Sugi trekking due to heavy rain and thunder, we would like to provide Yamakara's perspective without fear of misunderstanding.
Firstly, due to the nature of mountain trekking tours that involve nature, it is inevitable that daily itineraries may vary based on weather conditions. Therefore, there may be differences in the timing and content of the tours from day to day. Additionally, once a tour has started, there will be no refunds for the tour fee even if it is cut short.
Secondly, Yamakara tours prioritize the safety management of the itinerary, allowing our guides to make decisions regarding changes or returns based on on-site assessments. This approach is to avoid ambiguous safety management decisions influenced by the tour company's intentions or other tour groups.
In this case, Yamakara decided to turn back, while some other tour groups aimed for Jomon Sugi. However, it was a day of severe rain and thunder. Although the initial weather forecast indicated improvement in the afternoon, conditions in the mountains did not allow for recovery. During a 20-minute wait, lightning was confirmed on the trolley path, leading to the decision to cancel the tour and return. We recognize that our decision was correct, given the all-day thunder and heavy rain.
Lastly, we sincerely apologize for the insufficient prior notice regarding the above matters, as the initial weather forecast suggested improvement. Our guide was unable to provide adequate explanations during the heavy rain tour, which may have led to your dissatisfaction. We regret that we could not provide a satisfactory tour experience. If you have the opportunity, we would be grateful if you would はちのこ様
I wasn't confident in my physical stamina, so I requested a private tour, but in the end, I walked at almost the same pace as the group, passing each other back and forth. The guide always went ahead, and it didn't feel like they were adjusting to our pace at all. I had communicated from the start that I wanted to go even if it meant missing the return bus, but the guide seemed to forget something, and I overheard another guide from the same company saying it was the worst to be taken to Jomon S… I wasn't confident in my physical stamina, so I requested a private tour, but in the end, I walked at almost the same pace as the group, passing each other back and forth. The guide always went ahead, and it didn't feel like they were adjusting to our pace at all. I had communicated from the start that I wanted to go even if it meant missing the return bus, but the guide seemed to forget something, and I overheard another guide from the same company saying it was the worst to be taken to Jomon Sugi after forgetting something. They said we should turn back because there was no time and it would affect the next day, so I was not allowed to continue from that point. It might have been a mistake to take oxygen to avoid getting tired, but I thought if I climbed at a reasonable pace, I wouldn't miss the return bus. What was the point of having a private tour? And I had free time in the morning the next day. When I said my husband could go alone, I was told it was private, so we had to act together. In the group, those who couldn't continue would wait partway, but when I pointed out that it was strange, we were insisted to return to Wilson stump as a group, and we were taken down from where everyone had climbed. After about five minutes of arguing that it was odd for the group to go while the private tour couldn't, I reluctantly agreed to let my husband go back up with the condition that I wouldn't move from Wilson stump. However, about five minutes later, a group of the same age from the same company passed by Wilson stump. On the way back, I received a message that they had arrived at Jomon Sugi while my husband was taking pictures of the return trip. It was unavoidable if I couldn't physically manage it, but it was truly regrettable to be interrupted when I was relatively not tired. I further regretted that it might have been possible if it hadn't been a private tour. I thought they would adjust for the private tour, but compared to other guides, the explanations were about half as much, and on top of that, because of the bus schedule (even though I had said I wanted to go regardless of missing the bus), I wasn't allowed to go as far as I could. Even when taking pictures on the way back, they wouldn't wait unless we went to a point where we couldn't see anymore. It was really disappointing. That guide said that everyone else became quiet on the way back, and it was sad, but even if it was tough enough to be quiet, I wanted to reach Jomon Sugi. I never thought I would have to return with energy left and not be able to go. 体力に自信がなかったのでプライベートツアーを頼みましたが、結局は団体さんとほぼ同じペースで抜きつ、抜かれつつで歩きました。ガイドさんはいつもどんどん先に行き、とてもペースにあわせてるという感じはありませんでした。最初から帰りのバスに間に合わなくても行きたいとつたえていたのに、ガイドさんが忘れ物をされたのか、(後で同じ会社のガイドさんに忘れたのに縄文杉まで行かされて最低ですよというのを漏れ聞いた)時間がないし、明日に差し支えるから引き返しましょうと、途中からは行かせてもらえませんでした。私が疲れない… 体力に自信がなかったのでプライベートツアーを頼みましたが、結局は団体さんとほぼ同じペースで抜きつ、抜かれつつで歩きました。ガイドさんはいつもどんどん先に行き、とてもペースにあわせてるという感じはありませんでした。最初から帰りのバスに間に合わなくても行きたいとつたえていたのに、ガイドさんが忘れ物をされたのか、(後で同じ会社のガイドさんに忘れたのに縄文杉まで行かされて最低ですよというのを漏れ聞いた)時間がないし、明日に差し支えるから引き返しましょうと、途中からは行かせてもらえませんでした。私が疲れないようにと、酸素をすったのがいけなかったのかもしれませんが、私的には帰りもあるので、無理をせず登っていたら、帰りのバスにも間に合わないと言われました。なんのためのプライベートなのか。そして明日は朝フリーだったのに。旦那だけなら行けますよねというと、プライベートだから、一緒の行動でと言われてしまいました。団体の方は行けない方は途中で待つのに、それはおかしいと行っても、とりあえずウィルソン株まで、全員で戻るとおしきられ、全員で登ってきたところをおろされました。団体の人がいけて、プライベートがいけないのはおかしいと5分くらい揉めた後、私がウィルソン株から一歩も動かないのを条件にしぶしぶ旦那さんだけ連れて凄い勢いでまた、登っていきました。ですか、そこから5分くらいして、同じ会社の同じ歳くらいの団体さんがウィルソン株を通過していきました。帰りも、旦那さんが撮ってくれた縄文杉からの帰りしばらくいったところで、縄文杉到着の連絡をうけていました。体力的に無理なら仕方がなかったのですが、比較的疲れてない時に中断されたのは本当に心残りです。また、プライベートでなかったら行けたかもと思い更に悔しさの残るツアーになりました。プライベートは合わせてくださると思ってましたが、他のガイドさんと比べ説明も半分くらい、その上バスの時間があるからと(バスに乗れなくても行きたいと言っておいたのに)、行けるとこまでも行かせてもらえない、帰り写真を撮っていても見えなくなるところまで行かないと待ってくれない。本当に残念でした。そのガイドさんは他のところは帰りみんな無口になるくらいで歩いていて可哀想とか言っていましたが、無口になるぐらい辛くても縄文杉まで行きたかったです。まさか、体力余って行けずに帰る事になるとは思いませんでした

We prioritized safety and made the decision to stop the tour considering your expressions and walking time. I believe we lacked sufficient explanation as to why we reached that decision.
The Jomon Sugi course involves a very long distance, and the last bus back to the accommodation is at 17:45, which imposes time constraints. Unlike in a typical city, arranging a taxi is not always possible, and our decision was made to ensure your safe return to the accommodation. After consulting with your husband, we discussed that continuing would put a significant burden on your body and that we could not guarantee a safe descent. However, I acknowledge that we left your feelings behind, which is a shortcoming on my part.
The misunderstanding that occurred was due to my insufficient communication. I sincerely apologize for that.
If you have the opportunity to visit Yakushima again, I will strive to be of help.
I hope you can understand the decision we made this time.
Thank you very much for your consideration. 先日はツアーご参加ありがとうございました。 Yamakara屋久島の佐藤と申します。 今回は7月11日の貸切縄文杉ツアーの件について、 御不快な思いをおかけしましたこと、お詫び申し上げます。
Due to the weather, I couldn't go to Jomon Sugi. The tour guide's pace was quite fast. It was a plan that included a bento, but there was no explanation about the bento pickup, so I ended up not being able to receive it.天候のため縄文杉には行けませんでした。ツアーガイドの方のスピードはかなり早めでした。お弁当が付いているプランでしたが、お弁当のpik upについて説明がなく結局受け取りができませんでした。

The explanation provided by the guide was neither good nor bad. However, considering that my questions were ignored and that there were comments disregarding compliance, such as mentioning that a celebrity who participated in a past tour had a bad attitude, I couldn't help but feel that the price of 14,000 yen, including the bus fare, was rather high.ガイドとしての説明は可もなく不可もなくという印象でした。 しかし、こちらからの質問を無視されたことや、過去にツアーに参加した芸能人Aは態度が悪かったといったコンプラ無視の発言をしていたことなどを踏まえると、バス代込みで14000円というのは割高であると思わざるを得ませんでした。

The guide was the only ally once we entered the mountain.
For your reference: 1. Everyone was ready, but we were the only ones who took a long time to depart, and the people who were on the bus with us had already left, so I was worried about being rushed later. 2. I was repeatedly told, "Your right foot isn't lifting; you can see that," but without any specific advice, I didn't understand why I was being told that. (I had prepared by stretching and walking over 10 km at least once a week.) 3. Aroun… The guide was the only ally once we entered the mountain.
For your reference: 1. Everyone was ready, but we were the only ones who took a long time to depart, and the people who were on the bus with us had already left, so I was worried about being rushed later. 2. I was repeatedly told, "Your right foot isn't lifting; you can see that," but without any specific advice, I didn't understand why I was being told that. (I had prepared by stretching and walking over 10 km at least once a week.) 3. Around the time we turned back from Jomon Sugi, I suddenly realized we were an hour behind the first group. I started to feel anxious, thinking, "At this speed, I'm going to get injured since my legs are getting tired." I ended up twisting my already weak ankle about three times. It didn't reach the point of a sprain, but there was clearly a slight pain. I borrowed some tape from another participant, but I didn't know how to wrap it, and that person was trying to help me. Meanwhile, the guide stood with arms crossed and repeatedly said, "Just wrap it however you want." Everyone was thinking, "What?" He didn't offer any treatment and had an attitude of "Are you okay?" without even asking. 4. After that, the guide didn't look back and increased the pace even more. 5. The next day, I had a tour booked for Taiko Rock in the moss forest, and while talking to the trainee guide about possibly changing to another bus tour, the veteran guide laughed and said, "There's no way you can get to the moss forest, that's impossible!" If that's the case, why was he increasing the pace so recklessly? I used to play sports and knew that I was prone to twisting my ankles when I got tired, and while I wasn't spraining them, I could feel inflammation. Even when I communicated this, he just laughed. In a situation with only three of us, he told the trainee, "She doesn't listen," and laughed. I was so frustrated that I felt like crying. Despite twisting my ankle, my frustration pushed me to keep up until the goal. Throughout that time, the guide never looked back.
I wanted to think that the injury was my own fault, but it was clearly due to the guide's reckless pace. Another participant told me, "The pace clearly increased, and I was desperate to keep up, and even though I was injured, I was worried because you were left behind until you were out of sight, so I kept looking back."
For reference: Start at 5:45 ↓ Arrive at Jomon Sugi at 11:08 ↓ Start from Jomon Sugi at 11:30 ↓ Arrive at the trailhead at 15:45!! Total time: 9 hours and 45 minutes
The outbound trip took about 5 hours and 40 minutes, while the return took about 4 hours and 15 minutes.
The last bus was at 17:00. The trainee said there was plenty of time for the bus, so we could take it easy, but… we did arrive at 15:45… Saying we wouldn't make it to the bus is not an excuse. Afterward, there was no acknowledgment like "Good job" or "You worked hard," just a somewhat irritated demand to pay the mountain cooperation fee. Due to bus troubles, we ended up waiting, and the bus departed at 16:30… What was the reason for having to rush when everyone was tired and injured? On the way back, of course, there was no guidance, and I couldn't take any photos. Other guides and participants were happily chatting on the bus, saying, "It was so much fun! Thank you very much," while our guide got off quickly and silently.
The guide said, "It's fine to pee outside a little," and I was shocked when he said it was okay to dump the hot water from the cup noodles anywhere. Additionally, he made inappropriate jokes and repeatedly called one participant "XX-chan," while not remembering the names of the other three participants and referring to them as "sister," which felt like a bar atmosphere and was uncomfortable throughout.
I thought that paying for a tour meant I would be guided safely and within the time without getting injured. He was said to be a famous veteran guide on the island, but that doesn't matter to cus ガイドさんは山に入ると唯一の味方 ↓ご参考まで ①全員準備出来てるのに我々だけなかなか出発せず、バスで一緒だった人たちはとっくに行ってしまったので後から急かされたら嫌だなと思った ②何度も何度も『右足が上がってない、見てたらわかる』と言われ、特にアドバイスもなくなぜその様に言われるのか分からなかった (ストレッチや週に一度は10km以上歩くようにして準備はしていた) ③縄文杉を折り返した頃、急に『1番前のグループから1時間も遅れている』←思っていたことが的中 急に急ぎ出して“足が疲れてきてるのにこんなスピードだと怪我しそ… ガイドさんは山に入ると唯一の味方 ↓ご参考まで ①全員準備出来てるのに我々だけなかなか出発せず、バスで一緒だった人たちはとっくに行ってしまったので後から急かされたら嫌だなと思った ②何度も何度も『右足が上がってない、見てたらわかる』と言われ、特にアドバイスもなくなぜその様に言われるのか分からなかった (ストレッチや週に一度は10km以上歩くようにして準備はしていた) ③縄文杉を折り返した頃、急に『1番前のグループから1時間も遅れている』←思っていたことが的中 急に急ぎ出して“足が疲れてきてるのにこんなスピードだと怪我しそうで怖いな”と思っていたら元々弱い足首を3回ほど捻った 捻挫まではいかなかったけど明らかに軽い痛みがあった 参加者さんが持っていたテーピングを借りたが巻き方が分からずその方もとりあえず処置しようとしてくれているのを 腕組み仁王立ちで『そんなの適当に巻いといたら良いんだよ』と何度も言う←全員がえ???って思ってた 処置もしてくれない上に 『大丈夫?』とひとことも声掛けもなく早くしろよといった態度 ④その後もガイドは振り返ることもなくさらにスピードを上げる ⑤次の日に苔の森太鼓岩のツアーを予約しており、同行していたガイド見習いの人に他のバスツアーにもし変更できたら聞いてもらいたいと言う話をしていたらベテランガイドが『そんなもん苔の森までも行けるわけないやろ、無理無理!』と何度も鼻で笑った←だったらなぜ滅茶苦茶なペースに上げてるのかな? 自分は元々スポーツをしていて疲れてくると足首をよく捻りやすく、捻挫までは行っていないが炎症している程度だと分かり それを伝えても鼻で笑うだけ 他のメンバーの方が居ない3人だけの場面で 見習いに私のことを『言うこと聞かんねえ』と言って鼻で笑った あまりに悔しすぎて泣きそうだった その後は足を捻りながらも悔しさが上回って ゴールまでがっちり付いていってやった その間もガイドは一切振り返らなかった
It was disappointing that the guide was just someone who "only conveyed the walking path." I wanted a guide who could share highlights, history, and anecdotes at various points. Every time I passed by guides from other teams who were chatting about different things, I felt envious and enjoyed listening for a few seconds.

Also, if you're worried about your physical stamina and decide to hire a guide, you may be asked to drop out if you can't keep up with the pace of the group, which defeats the purpose of joining the tour. For those concerned about their stamina, I recommend arranging for a dedicated guide, even if it's expensive. One good thing about this tour is that they offer free rental of equipment. In particular, bringing your own hiking boots can be heavy, and they got muddy from the rain, so it was a relief. However, the rain gear had lost its waterproof effectiveness, and the inside was soaked. One of the trekking poles was also broken. Since it's difficult to check the rain gear in advance, it might be better to prepare your own. You won't need to worry about trekking poles, as they can just be a burden, so I don't think it's necessary to borrow them. 屋久島は雨が多いところですが、この日も雨。ガイド付きツアーに参加すると、大雨警報でも出ない限り催行となるので、覚悟が要ります。道に迷うようなところではないので、雨の中を歩くのは避けたい場合には、個人で行っても良いかもしれません。また、体力が無いことを心配してガイドを付けても、周りのペースに付いて行けないと、途中で脱落することを求められるので、ツアーに参加する意味がありません。体力が心配な人は、高くても専任ガイドを手配することをおすすめします。本ツアーの良かったところは、用品無料レンタルがあるとこ… 屋久島は雨が多いところですが、この日も雨。ガイド付きツアーに参加すると、大雨警報でも出ない限り催行となるので、覚悟が要ります。道に迷うようなところではないので、雨の中を歩くのは避けたい場合には、個人で行っても良いかもしれません。また、体力が無いことを心配してガイドを付けても、周りのペースに付いて行けないと、途中で脱落することを求められるので、ツアーに参加する意味がありません。体力が心配な人は、高くても専任ガイドを手配することをおすすめします。本ツアーの良かったところは、用品無料レンタルがあるところ。特に登山靴は持参するのも重いし、雨で泥だらけになったので助かりました。但し、雨具は防水効果が切れており、中はビショビショ。ストックも片方は壊れていました。雨具は事前のチェックは難しいので、自分で用意した方が良いかも。ストックは持って行かなくても困らないので、荷物になるだけだから借りる必要はないと思います。

I contacted the transportation company, but they said a taxi wouldn't be possible without a reservation. After explaining the situation, they contacted someone directly, and we were able to proceed with the tour an hour late.
There were six women guided by an experienced guide. The guide was knowledgeable and taught us about the mountains, plants, and various points of interest, even taking photos for us. Although we were in a hurry, I think we made effective use of our time and successfully completed the tour.
We were able to see Yakushima deer and monkeys, and despite the rain forecast, it cleared up at key moments.
This time, I appreciated that the bus company contacted us, that the guide was experienced, and that everyone in the group was able to walk (this was the most important factor; otherwise, we might have had to turn back).
It was unfortunate that I had to endure the cold in the morning and felt rushed, thinking we might not make it to Jomon Sugi. 朝4:03発のバスに乗り込むと、まさかの乗車拒否。予約されてないとのこと。違うバスかと思い待つが来ない。連絡もつかない。娘と2人で、暗く人通りもなく体も冷えてきたので、交通会社に連絡するも予約なしではタクシーも無理とのこと。事情を話したら直接連絡を取ってくれて、1時間遅れでツアーを決行。 女性6人をベテランガイドが引率。ガイドさんは博識で、山、植物、その他諸々ポイントを教えてくれて写真も撮ってくれました。急ぎながらも、時間を有効に使い、見事にツアーを終えたと思います。 ヤクシカや猿も見れて、雨予報の天気も… 朝4:03発のバスに乗り込むと、まさかの乗車拒否。予約されてないとのこと。違うバスかと思い待つが来ない。連絡もつかない。娘と2人で、暗く人通りもなく体も冷えてきたので、交通会社に連絡するも予約なしではタクシーも無理とのこと。事情を話したら直接連絡を取ってくれて、1時間遅れでツアーを決行。 女性6人をベテランガイドが引率。ガイドさんは博識で、山、植物、その他諸々ポイントを教えてくれて写真も撮ってくれました。急ぎながらも、時間を有効に使い、見事にツアーを終えたと思います。 ヤクシカや猿も見れて、雨予報の天気も要所要所は晴れました。 今回はバス会社さんが連絡をとってくれたこと。ガイドさんがベテランだったこと。全員が歩けるメンバーだったこと。(これが、一番大事。でなければ途中引き返しだったかも) 朝から寒い思いをして、縄文杉行けないかも、急がないとと、気持ちに余裕を持てない状態の参加になってしまったのは、残念でした。

There was a lack of explanations unique to the locals and caution while walking. It felt like a novice level of knowledge about the area.

Even though it was a private tour, I noticed that other group guides were providing much better explanations. I knew that the quality of guides can vary greatly, but since this isn't a place I visit often, it left me feeling disappointed. I believe that being able to walk and having physical stamina is not enough; as a professional, they should at least gather various information to share. Unfortunately, whether you get a good guide or a bad one is just a matter of luck. 地元民ならではの説明や歩く際の注意が少ない。道を知ってる素人レベル。 大事にいたらなかったが、たまたま足を滑らして、転んだ際の対応も普通過ぎて、高校生がそのまま大人になってガイドしてるんだなぁということがよくわかった。ちなみにガイドは50代でベテランらしいが‥。 プライベートツアーなのに他の団体ガイドさんの方がよく説明していたのを見受けられた。 ガイドの当たりハズレが大きいことを知ってたが、何度も行くとこではないので、残念な気持ちになる。歩ける、体力があるだけでなく、プロとして、せめていろんな情報を入手… 地元民ならではの説明や歩く際の注意が少ない。道を知ってる素人レベル。 大事にいたらなかったが、たまたま足を滑らして、転んだ際の対応も普通過ぎて、高校生がそのまま大人になってガイドしてるんだなぁということがよくわかった。ちなみにガイドは50代でベテランらしいが‥。 プライベートツアーなのに他の団体ガイドさんの方がよく説明していたのを見受けられた。 ガイドの当たりハズレが大きいことを知ってたが、何度も行くとこではないので、残念な気持ちになる。歩ける、体力があるだけでなく、プロとして、せめていろんな情報を入手すべきだと思う。 当たりを引くかハズレを引くかは、残念ながら次第です。

I take your dissatisfaction with the guide's response and explanations very seriously. I deeply regret that we did not fulfill our professional role, particularly regarding safety management and information provision during the tour.

You also pointed out the differences compared to other group guides, and I acknowledge that there is room for improvement in our guide training and responses. Our entire staff is committed to further honing our skills.
I feel very sorry that your valuable experience turned out to be disappointing. We will strive to provide a better experience for you on your next visit.
I also deeply regret the delay in responding to your experience report. Once again, thank you very much for your valuable feedback.

As an alternative, we were offered a hike up Mount Mocchom, so we changed to that option. There were many steep trails, and some guests experienced foot pain, but there was kind consideration in the form of pacing adjustments and stretches to alleviate pain, allowing everyone to reach the summit safely. We also learned about Yakushima's nature and local specialties, which kept us entertained during the hike.
I hope that the next time I participate, the tour won't be canceled... 前日の昼ごろ、積雪による登山口付近の通行止めでツアーが中止になったとの知らせが届きました。 時期が悪かったのは否めませんがとても残念でした。

We also thank you for enjoying the information about Yakushima's nature and local specialties during the climb.
Regarding your next participation, as you wisely pointed out, activities in Yakushima are subject to nature's whims, and cancellations due to weather conditions such as snowfall or typhoons may unfortunately occur. We kindly ask for your understanding in this matter.
Additionally, thank you for your advice regarding pre-climb preparation. It will surely be very helpful for future participants.
Lastly, we sincerely look forward to the day you can visit Yakushima again. We hope that next time, we can make the Jomon Sugi trekking a reality.
Thank you once again for your valuable feedback. ヤスタカ様

The Yakusugi was very good. The nature was abundant and healing. But the guide didn't suit me. It was tough to be with that level of energy. I think the guide was very wonderful. But it just didn't match with me.屋久杉はとてもよかった。 自然も豊富で癒された。 でもガイドさんが自分には合わなかった。 あのテンションでいるのはしんどい。 とても素敵なガイドさんだったと思う。 でも自分には合わなかった。

The path to Jomon Sugi was filled with pressure from the guide, who kept urging us to hurry, saying not to look around and to walk at a speed of ◯ kilometers per hour. Although I came here on vacation, it felt more like work with all the instructions. I honestly felt disappointed that there was no time to enjoy the green path.

I understand that there was a set time for our return, which likely required some time management, but the constant reminders made me think that I probably wouldn't request this guide again if I come back. It might depend on the guide, but since we can't choose them, it’s a bit frustrating.
On the way back, I was able to spend a little more relaxed time compared to the way there, but I feel that if we had been given a bit of time to acclimate in the early morning, the impression would have been different. 縄文杉までの行きの道は、ガイドさんに時間ばかり急かされる、よそ見はしないで、時速◯キロの速さで歩いて、など、休暇で来たはずなのに、仕事のような指示ばかりでした。緑の小道を楽しむ時間もなく、正直がっかりです。 解散時間までの時間が決まっている、ということで、タイムマネジメントしたかってとは思いますが、それをあまりに出してくるので、次に行ってもまたお願いすることはないかな、と思います。ガイドさんによるところかもしれませんが、ガイドさんは選べないので。 帰りは行きに比べれば、少しのんびりした時間を過ごせま… 縄文杉までの行きの道は、ガイドさんに時間ばかり急かされる、よそ見はしないで、時速◯キロの速さで歩いて、など、休暇で来たはずなのに、仕事のような指示ばかりでした。緑の小道を楽しむ時間もなく、正直がっかりです。 解散時間までの時間が決まっている、ということで、タイムマネジメントしたかってとは思いますが、それをあまりに出してくるので、次に行ってもまたお願いすることはないかな、と思います。ガイドさんによるところかもしれませんが、ガイドさんは選べないので。 帰りは行きに比べれば、少しのんびりした時間を過ごせましたが、朝の早い段階で少し慣れる時間を設けてもらえたら、印象が違うのに、と感じます。

The Jomon Sugi trekking is a long-distance activity that involves confronting nature, so managing customer safety and time is a very important role for the guide. Instructions such as "do not look away" in dangerous areas and reminders about pacing may be necessary to ensure your safety and to conduct the tour within the limited time.
However, I deeply regret that you felt the instructions were "like work" and that you could not fully enjoy the lush nature of Yakushima. We will reinforce our guidance to the guides to communicate the importance of safety and time management without causing stress to our customers.
I also sincerely apologize for making you feel that you might not want to request our services again and for not being able to satisfy you without the option to request a specific guide. We take your feedback seriously and will review the guidance provided to our guides to improve our service, ensuring a more customer-oriented approach. In particular, we will enhance our consideration for pacing at the beginning of the tour and ensure that customers can leisurely enjoy nature.
Thank you once again for your valuable feedback. We will make sure that your experience is not in vain and will use it to improve our services in the future. チミー様
Beginners should definitely have a dedicated guide.

Well, I guess it can’t be helped since I signed up for this tour. 縄文杉トレッキングツアーに申し込みました。 3組6人にガイドさんひとりのツアーでしたが、完全に山経験ありな若い方々に合わせたペース。 初心者の私には最初からペース早すぎて、ついていけず、ウィルソン株までは何とか行けましたが、その先は迷惑かけるといけないと思い、リタイヤしました。 せっかく屋久島まで来たのだから、自分のペースで歩けるよう、専属ガイドさんをお願いすれば良かったと後悔しきりですが(それならきっと縄文杉まで行けたでしょう)、まあ自分がこっちを申し込んでしまったので仕方ないですね。

Dear Emily,
Thank you for your feedback on the tour. We feel a strong sense of inadequacy in not being able to provide the enjoyable service that you deserve during the guided hike. We will share your valuable comments with the guide and strive to improve our tours in the future.
The team was organized with about six people per guide. The team we joined consisted of couples and a parent-child group. Among them, the mother participating with her daughter seemed to have some difficulty walking and was lagging behind from the start. When we had progressed about 700 meters, the guide noticed and exclaimed, "At this rate, we won't make it! Maybe we should just give up and turn back!"

When we had progressed about 700 meters, the guide noticed and exclaimed, "At this rate, we won't make it! Maybe we should just give up and turn back!" It seemed that the mother was offended by the way he said it, and a heated argument ensued, creating a very tense atmosphere.
The mood didn't improve much after that, and during breaks or when passing other teams, I felt envious as I saw them happily chatting. The Jomon Sugi itself was breathtaking, but the experience was heavily influenced by the guide. Moreover, since we couldn't choose our guide, there was nothing we could do about it.
While it might be just another day for the guide, for travelers, this is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Even though it was tough, we were all eager to see the Jomon Sugi! I felt that if we were going to go through this, we might as well enjoy the experience. ガイド1人につき6人程度でチーム編成。私たちが参加したチームはカップル、親子のグループ。その中で母娘で参加されていたお母さまの方が足があまりよくないらしく、マイペースというかスタート時から遅れをとっていた。700mくらい進んだ際に気づいたガイドが、こんなんじゃ間に合わない!!もう諦めて引き返した方がいいんじゃないか!!と言い出す。お母さま側もその言い方にカチンときたのか言い合いになってしまい雰囲気は最悪。 その後もあまりいい雰囲気ではなく、休憩やすれ違う時に他のチームを見ると楽しく談笑していて羨ましか… ガイド1人につき6人程度でチーム編成。私たちが参加したチームはカップル、親子のグループ。その中で母娘で参加されていたお母さまの方が足があまりよくないらしく、マイペースというかスタート時から遅れをとっていた。700mくらい進んだ際に気づいたガイドが、こんなんじゃ間に合わない!!もう諦めて引き返した方がいいんじゃないか!!と言い出す。お母さま側もその言い方にカチンときたのか言い合いになってしまい雰囲気は最悪。 その後もあまりいい雰囲気ではなく、休憩やすれ違う時に他のチームを見ると楽しく談笑していて羨ましかった。 縄文杉自体は圧巻だったが、その道中はガイドによる。しかも選べないのでどうしようもない。 ガイドにとっては毎日のことかもしれないが、旅行者にとっては一生の内に1度あるかないかの経験。辛くても縄文杉を見たい!という気持ちで頑張ってるんだから、どうせなら楽しく経験したいと感じた1日でした。

After seeing a post from a former model, I decided to book a tour to Jomon Sugi. I work a job that requires me to stand a lot, and on my days off, I enjoy outdoor activities as a smoker, but the journey was quite tough. However, it was still manageable! I didn't do enough research beforehand, and I thought I would be able to touch Jomon Sugi, so I was a bit disappointed when I realized I couldn't when I got there. But I think it's definitely worth visiting at least once!元読モの方の投稿を見て縄文杉に行きたいと思いツアーを予約しました。 私は立ち仕事をしていて休みの日は外に出るアウトドアの喫煙者ですが、道のりは結構過酷でした、、 でも頑張って歩けるレベル! 下調べが足りないこともありましたが、縄文杉にさわれると思っていたのでたどり着いた時には触れることが出来ないとわかり少しがっかりしてしまいました笑 でも1度は行ってみた方がいいと思います!

Dear Hana-chan,
That's right!! I used to be able to get right up to Jomon Sugi and touch it, but now, because so many people are stepping on the roots, we have to view it from the deck! The deck is also becoming farther away, and many people feel disappointed...
It must have been quite exhausting to walk 22 kilometers round trip in the heat! Thank you for sharing your thoughts that it's worth visiting at least once!
The rental was wonderful, but I was disappointed with the guide.

During my first hike on Yakushima, I had many uncertainties, but the guide helped by considering the pace and providing guidance as needed, allowing me to enjoy the hike safely. However, one disappointing aspect was that, perhaps because I was a solo male participant, it felt like the guide was more focused on the group of three female participants. As someone who wanted to deepen my understanding of Yakushima's nature and culture, I felt a bit left out, which was somewhat disappointing.

As someone who wanted to deepen my understanding of Yakushima's nature and culture, I felt a bit left out, which was somewhat disappointing. However, I was able to listen to plenty of stories about Yakushima during the bus tour the following day, so I ultimately gained a better understanding of the island! That said, I believe it was a blessing to be able to hike safely without any injuries. 初めての屋久島登山で分からないことばかりでしたが、ガイドさんがペース配分を考えてくれたり、適宜案内してくれたので、安全に楽しんで登山ができました。ただ、1つ残念だったのは、私はひとり参加の男子だったからかもしれませんが、今回のガイドさんは他の参加者である女子3人組に目が向いておられたように感じました。屋久島の自然や文化について洞察を深めたいと思っていた私にとっては取り残されたように感じ、少し残念な気持ちになりました。でも、翌日以降のバスツアーで屋久島にまつわるお話をたっぷりと聴くことができたので… 初めての屋久島登山で分からないことばかりでしたが、ガイドさんがペース配分を考えてくれたり、適宜案内してくれたので、安全に楽しんで登山ができました。ただ、1つ残念だったのは、私はひとり参加の男子だったからかもしれませんが、今回のガイドさんは他の参加者である女子3人組に目が向いておられたように感じました。屋久島の自然や文化について洞察を深めたいと思っていた私にとっては取り残されたように感じ、少し残念な気持ちになりました。でも、翌日以降のバスツアーで屋久島にまつわるお話をたっぷりと聴くことができたので、結果的に屋久島について理解を深めることはできました!とは言え、怪我なく安全に登山できたことは、何よりも恵まれたことだと思います。
