It was a guide who committed sexual harassment. It's better to avoid applying as a group of only women.

We signed up as two 21-year-old girls. I thought there would be other participants, but that day it was just the two of us and a guide, an older man in his 60s.

Right at the start of the trekking, at a waterfall, he suddenly grabbed my face firmly and made me look up. I was told to just do it without understanding why, and it turned out he wanted to take a picture of us drinking water.

I thought there would be other participants, but that day it was just the two of us and a guide, an older man in his 60s.

Right at the start of the trekking, at a waterfall, he suddenly grabbed my face firmly and made me look up. I was told to just do it without understanding why, and it turned out he wanted to take a picture of us drinking water. He was grinning and touched my face more than necessary, which made me uncomfortable, but I couldn’t say anything since I had to climb with him for three hours.

Later, he asked us to pose like a deer, and when we did, he said, "Females don’t have antlers, so you two must have a lot of male hormones." When I fell and landed on my backside, he said, "I can’t just pat your bottom, can I?" and made other creepy comments, trying to touch us.

I wanted to enjoy nature, but he kept talking about himself and bothering us unnecessarily, ruining the beautiful forest experience. When we finally reached the tour destination, he said we could stay as long as we wanted, but I just wanted to get down as quickly as possible and away from him. When I said I was done, he remarked that I still didn’t understand the beauty of the moss, saying it was a waste. If we had a different guide, it wouldn’t have been like this. It was truly the worst experience.

I wish I could have said all this directly, but since it was just the two of us as participants and being young, I thought they wouldn’t take us seriously if we spoke up. During the trekking, I was really uncomfortable the whole time, and what was supposed to be a fun graduation trip turned into the worst memory. I even talked with my friend about how it felt like this happened because we were just 21-year-old girls, which made me feel bad about myself too. I wouldn’t even give it one star. 21歳の女子2人で申し込みました。他に参加者がいると思っていたのですがその日は私たち2人と、ガイドの60代くらいのおじさんの3人でした。

その後も、シカのポーズで写真を撮ろうと言われ、その通りにすると、「メスはツノが生えないんだよ、だから2人は男性ホルモンが多いんだね」と言われたり、転んで尻餅をつくと「お尻なでなでするわけにはいかないもんねぇ？」など他にも気持ち悪いことを言われたり、触られそうになりました。
また、自然を楽しみたかったのに自分の話ばかりしたり、必要以上に話しかけてきて、せっかく綺麗な森にいるのに台無しでした。ツアーの目的地に着いて、好きなだけいていいよと言われましたが、1秒でも早く下山してガイドの人と離れたかったので、もういいですと言うと、苔のよさはまだわからないかぁ、もったいないなあと言われ、ガイドがこの人ではなかったら私たちだってこんな風にならなかったのに。本当に最悪でした。
これらを直接言えたらよかったのですが、参加者か私たちだけだったのと、私たちがまだ若いので言っても流されて聞いてもらえないだろうなと諦めてしまいました。
トレッキングの最中は本当にずっとずっと嫌で、卒業旅行で楽しみにしていたのに、最悪の思い出になってしまいました。自分たちが21歳の女子だからこうなったんだろうなと思うと自分まで嫌になるね、と友達と会話をしたくらい最悪なガイドでした。星ひとつもつけたくありません。

The guide was very concerned about the time, and since we were running late, we were told it would take another 40 minutes, so I ended up leaving the group and returning with my daughter. I regret not going to Shiratani Unsuikyo at our own pace without a guide, enjoying ourselves without worrying about the time.ガイドさんがとても時間を気にしていて時間が押していたのか、あと40分もかかるから戻ったほうがいいといわれてしまいグループから離脱して、娘と一緒に戻りました。ガイド付けないで自分たちのペースで時間気にせず楽しく白谷雲水峡までいけばよかった、と後悔しています

Due to the heavy rain, I took a short walk within the range I could. I was disappointed that I couldn't go to the Forest of the Spirits that I wanted to visit, but the guide explained various things while sharing funny stories, which made it enjoyable in its own way. Since we finished early, the guide also introduced us to the rental car, thank you very much.大雨のため、行ける範囲で小散歩。行きたかったもののけの森に行けず残念でしたが、ガイドさんは、笑い話も交えていろいろと説明してくれて、それなりに楽しめました。早く終わったのでガイドさんがレンタカーまで紹介、ありがとうございました。

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！

Yakushima, a place I had always wanted to visit at least once in my life, took over six hours to reach from Tokyo by plane, bus, and boat! After much hesitation, I decided on a spontaneous two-night, three-day trip to Yakushima.

After much hesitation, I decided on a spontaneous two-night, three-day trip to Yakushima. Due to the ferry schedule, I could only spend half a day on the first and last days, so I booked a tour for the morning to afternoon of the last day. On this day, a triple typhoon was approaching Kanto, and there was a high possibility that both the ferry and the plane would be canceled. Despite this, I thought, "No! Even if I can't go home or make it to work tomorrow, I will go trekking!!!" and set out in a rather anxious state (laughs). The day before had been sunny, but it turned out to be the first rain in a month? (light rain), which made the moss look even more beautiful. The plan included rental trekking gear, which turned out to be a good choice. The specialized shoes didn't put a strain on my feet.

I carefully stepped up each "stone" on the steep path. There were hardly any flat or dirt-only paths. I had to keep my eyes on my feet to avoid falling, so I focused on "which stone to step on next!" I was drenched in sweat and quite exhausted, but before I knew it, I arrived at the moss-covered forest. The beauty of the forest and water, along with the negative ions, was incredible. In the moss-covered forest, I felt like I could just gaze at the scenery forever. The water was also drinkable. I deducted one star because the pre-trip packing list mentioned "long sleeves," but since it was a light hike, I ended up sweating a lot and short sleeves would have been fine (the guide was wearing short sleeves). It also mentioned "snacks (light meals)," but there were no breaks or places to sit except in the moss-covered forest, so I had no opportunity to eat. Additionally, since I was focused on my footing, I couldn't fully enjoy the scenery, and I wished there had been a bit more time to stop along the way. But I suppose that's to be expected for a half-day trip. If you have the time, I definitely recommend spending a full day there. Seeing deer and monkeys in their natural state in Yakushima is truly moving. It's worth visiting at least once in a lifetime. By the way, miraculously, our ferry and plane resumed service, and we made it home safely! 人生で一度は行きたかった屋久島、東京から飛行機+バス＋船＝6時間超！！なかなか決意がつかない中、二泊三日で突発屋久島旅行が決まりました。初日と最終日は船の時間により半日しかいれないため、最終日の朝～昼にこちらのツアーを申し込み。この日は、関東にトリプル台風到来で、船も飛行機も欠航になる可能性大と言われる中「いや！帰れなくても、明日会社行けなくても、トレッキングには行く！！！」という、精神状態穏やかでない状況で挑みました（笑）前日まで晴天だったのですが、なんとこの日は、1か月ぶり？の雨だったようで（… 人生で一度は行きたかった屋久島、東京から飛行機+バス＋船＝6時間超！！なかなか決意がつかない中、二泊三日で突発屋久島旅行が決まりました。初日と最終日は船の時間により半日しかいれないため、最終日の朝～昼にこちらのツアーを申し込み。この日は、関東にトリプル台風到来で、船も飛行機も欠航になる可能性大と言われる中「いや！帰れなくても、明日会社行けなくても、トレッキングには行く！！！」という、精神状態穏やかでない状況で挑みました（笑）前日まで晴天だったのですが、なんとこの日は、1か月ぶり？の雨だったようで（小雨です）、苔たちが一層きれいに見えるとのこと。トレッキンググッズレンタル付きのプランだったのですが、付けて正解でした。専用シューズだと足に負担がかかりません。
とにかく急な「石」の段を１つ１つ踏みしめて登っていきます。平坦な道、土オンリーの道はほぼありません。足元をずっと見てないと落ちそうなので「次はどの石を踏もう」と集中しました！汗だく、びしょ濡れで結構きつかったのですが、あっという間に苔むす森着。森と水の美しさ、マイナスイオンはハンパじゃないです。苔むす森では、ボーっとしていつまでも眺めていられる感じです。水もそのまま飲めます。☆星１つ減らしたのは、事前の持ち物リストに「長袖」とありましたが、軽く登山なので汗だくになり半袖でもよかったこと。（ガイドの人は半袖でした）「お菓子（軽食）」とありましたが、苔むす森以外は休憩ないし座るとこもないので食べるきっかけないです。あとは、足元見て歩くので景色を堪能できず、途中途中もう少し立ち止まれる時間があったらなと思いました。半日だから仕方ないのでしょう。時間があれば、ぜひとも1日使って行くべしと思いました。屋久島は、シカやサルの自然の姿そのままを見れるのは感動します。一生に一度は訪れる価値ありです。ちなみにご利益があり、私たちの便から船も飛行機も
再開するという奇跡が。。無事帰れました！！

It was great that I could try on the rental shoes at the airport. However, there was a bit of an odor lingering on the raincoat and backpack, and I would have liked them to be properly deodorized.子細に渡り説明していただきました。屋久島の成り立ちを初め、特に、植物について丁寧な説明がありました。天気も良く、清々しい森林浴が出来て、とても楽しい時間を過ごすことが出来ました。

There are many water spots and muddy areas, and since we walked for over three hours, our sneakers got quite wet.

Most tours start early in the morning, but this one began at noon and the trekking itself took just a little over three hours. I was able to return in the evening. I had a Jomon Sugi tour scheduled for the next day, so it was a great way to warm up my legs.昼前に屋久島に着く飛行機だったので、午後開始で半日だけで白谷雲水峡に行けるツアーを探していて見つけました！

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。

There were many photo spots, and the guide had a routine of saying, "Stand here—take the photo from this angle!" We probably spent more time taking pictures than actually walking. He brought a small item called "Kodama," which made for some lovely photos. Conversely, for those not interested in taking Instagram-worthy pictures, it might feel like, "Another photo shoot?" which is how I felt too...
