All Reviews for Outdoor Activities

We set off early in the morning for a challenging itinerary, and I approached it with determination. Thanks to the favorable weather and the lively stories from our guide, Mr. Taniyama, we were able to visit all the points of interest. As mentioned earlier, this course is by no means easy. However, you can undoubtedly experience the grandeur of nature and the emotions that cannot be conveyed through photos!

As for equipment, there were no issues as long as I brought what was indicated in the guide. I rented shoes, and they were comfortable enough for the long journey without causing blisters, so I think renting is sufficient for those who don't have their own. You can arrange for breakfast and lunch bento boxes through the accommodation. There were also places to refill water along the way, so as long as you prepare your health well, you should be fine on the day!

早朝出発で行程もなかなかの本コース、覚悟をもって臨みましたがお天気に恵まれたこと、ガイドの谷山さんの軽快なお話のおかげで全てのポイントを回ることができました。前述した通り、このコースは決して楽なものではありません。しかしながら、間違いなく写真では伝わらない自然の雄大さと感動を味わうことができます！
装備等は案内にある通りに持って行けば問題ありませんでした。私は靴をレンタルしましたが、長時間の行程でも履きやすく靴擦れもしなかったため、持っていない方はレンタルでも十分かと思います。朝昼のお弁当は、宿に頼んで取ってもらうことが可能です。水分は途中でなくなってしまっても水を汲める場所がありました。体調を万全に整えて、当日臨むことができれば大丈夫でしょう！

It was my first time participating, and I had a great day! I was worried about the weather, but somehow the rain stopped on Balas Island, and the sea was beautiful. I thoroughly enjoyed my first experience with SUP. I was able to take a lot of photos, which added to my memories. It was a fulfilling tour, and I would love to participate again if I have the chance.

初めての参加でしたが1日とても楽しかったです！天気も心配していましたがなんとかバラス島では雨もやみとっても海が綺麗でした。
SUP初体験でも十分楽しめました♫
写真もたくさん撮っていただけて思い出が増えました。
充実したツアーでまた機会があれば参加させて頂きたいと思います。

I participated with my 10-year-old daughter and my wife. We checked in at a shop located on a hill near the main port, and after a 3-minute bus ride, we arrived at the port and moved to the snorkeling point by boat. We received thorough explanations and started snorkeling. We were welcomed by many fish among the beautiful coral reefs. My daughter was very happy to be able to feed the fish along the way. The banana boat was thrilling, and we enjoyed the activity! There were changing rooms and warm showers, which was great. I would like to come again.

10歳の娘と家内と3人で参加しました。本部港の高台にあるお店で受付を行い、バスで3分ぐらいで港に着き船でシュノーケリングのポイントへ移動。丁寧な説明を受けシュノーケリングを開始。綺麗な珊瑚礁の中多くの魚達が出迎えて頂きました。
途中餌付けをさせてもらい娘も大変喜んでいました。
バナナボートは、迫力が有りアクティブティを満喫！
更衣室、温かいシャワーもあり良かったです。
また来たいと思います。

I participated with my 8-year-old son. It was wonderful to connect with nature by jumping into the beautiful river. We also took a lot of photos, which made for great memories.

However, there were a couple of things that concerned me. The meeting point was hard to find, and when the time came, the person in charge did not show up, which made me a bit anxious. The dress code mentioned long sleeves and long pants, but in reality, shorts and swimsuits were also acceptable, and I would appreciate more accurate announcements regarding this.

One of the children on the tour got injured and seemed to struggle a bit when jumping into the river, crying a lot... I wondered about the safety measures in place.

This was my third time rafting, so I was familiar with it and had a great time, but I hope that for those coming from Honshu and beginners, the experience can be enjoyable as well. I would like to see a more customer-oriented approach and ensure complete safety, so that everyone feels they want to participate again. I am sharing this feedback because the staff were wonderful.

8歳の息子と2人で参加しました。綺麗な川に飛び込んだりしながら自然に触れ合うことができとても良かったです。また写真もたくさん撮っていただきいい記念になりました。
少し気になったことがありました。待ち合わせの場所が分かりづらかったこと、また時刻になっても担当の方が現れず、少し不安に感じました。服装は長袖長ズボン、と書いていたが、実際は短パンや水着でもOKであり、正確にアナウンスしていただきたい。
ツアーで一緒だった子供が怪我をしたり、川に飛び込んだ際に少し溺れたような感じになり大泣きしてしまつたり…安全面は大丈夫か？と思いました。
私はラフティング自体3回目で慣れていることもあり存分に楽しめたのですが、本州から来た方や初心者にも心から楽しんでいただけるよう、もっと顧客目線で、そして万全の安全性を確保し、誰もがまた参加したい、と思えるツアーになってほしいな…すてきな担当者様だったのであえてコメントさせていただきます。

On the way there, some people got seasick due to the heavy rain, but after arriving at the destination, the rain stopped, and the view was amazing. There were many corals, and we saw plenty of fish.

往路は大雨で船酔いした人もいましたが、現地に着いてしばらくすると、雨が止み、最高の景色でした。サンゴがたくさんあり、魚もいっぱいみれました。

Right from the start, it was challenging! I was surprised, but my expectations went up! While getting completely soaked, I had a lot of fun cheering each other on with the other participants and experiencing thrilling moments. I want to challenge the zip line again!

スタート直後から難所！ビックリしたけど、期待度UP！ずぶ濡れになりながら、参加者の方と応援しあったり、ドキドキ体験をしたりととても楽しかったです。ジップラインをもう一度チャレンジしたいです。

I had previously done a river descent and it felt like it ended in no time, so I was wondering how this would be. However, the rafting time was long, and on top of that, we could also play in the river, making it a satisfying tour. I want to go again next time.

前に川のライン下りをした事があり、あっという間に終わったイメージがあったので、どうかな？って思ってましたが、ラフティング時間も長く、おまけに川遊びも出来て満足なツアーでした。
今度も行きたいです。

During summer vacation, I participated with my elementary school-aged children, all of whom were beginners at swimming in the ocean. The guide was very friendly and attentive, showing great care for the children. Initially, my child was scared of the ocean's depth, but by the end, they were having a fantastic time.

The weather was cloudy with occasional sunshine. Inside the cave, the blue water was stunning regardless of the weather. I thought it was perfectly fine not to go to Italy; in fact, this place felt more accessible and the ocean was beautiful!

Feeding the fish was thrilling and quite enjoyable. Looking back at the photos and videos taken with the GoPro made me want to go again.

The shop had clean changing rooms and showers, and they even provided a way to wring out our swimsuits. Shampoo and body soap were available, making it very comfortable. Thank you for a wonderful experience!

夏休み、小学校低学年の子ども連れ&海で泳ぐの初心者ばかりで参加させていただきました。
ガイドのお兄さんも気さくな方でした。またとても丁寧で子ども達にも優しく配慮して下さり初めは海の深さに怯えていた子どもも途中からはすごく楽しんでいました。
お天気は曇り時々晴れでした。洞窟内は天気に関係なく素晴らしい青でした。イタリアに行かなくても全然OKだと思いました。むしろこちらの方が入りやすいし海も綺麗なのでは⁈

魚の餌やりもスリルがありなかなか楽しかったです。撮っていただいた写真、goproで撮影した動画ともに帰って見ていたらまた行きたくなりました。

お店では綺麗な更衣室もシャワーも完備してあり水着の脱水もできました。シャンプー、ボディーソープも用意されていてとても快適でした。素敵な体験をありがとうございました！

My first snorkeling experience in Okinawa was terrible; the sea was rough, there were no fish, and no one was there to assist me. I could only snorkel in a small area around the boat. However, this year was amazing. Even with my swimming anxiety, I was able to snorkel comfortably and was guided to areas with fish. There were families with children who were having a great time as well. I will definitely use this service again next time and want to recommend it to my friends. Thank you to all the staff.

初めて沖縄のシュノーケリングは海も荒れて魚も居ない安全面でも誰も付いてくれない、船の周りの一部でしかシュノーケリングさせて貰えない最低な経験でしたが、今年は最高でした。泳ぎの不安な私も安心してシュノーケリングができ、魚のいる場所に誘導してもらいました。お子さん連れもいらっしゃって凄く楽しんでました。また次回も利用します。友達にも紹介したいです。スタッフの皆様ありがとうございます。

She had her first experience with parasailing and was very satisfied. The weather forecast predicted cloudy skies with rain, but during our time, it was clear and turned into a wonderful aerial stroll. It was more stable than the boat, with no swaying, making it very comfortable. The staff were also very polite and taught us various things, which was great. Since she felt a little seasick, it might be better to go before eating rather than right after.

彼女はパラセーリング初体験でしたがとても満足していました。
天気予報は曇りのち雨でしたが自分達の時は快晴で素晴らしい空中散歩になりました。
ボートよりも安定していて揺れも無くとても快適でした。
スタッフの皆さんも丁寧に色々と教えて下さりとても良かったです。
彼女が少しだけ船酔いしましたので食後直ぐよりは食前に乗った方がいいかもです。

It was a half-day tour, but they also allocated time for marine sports, and we had a great time! The guide was kind and gentle, and the kids quickly became friends. They let us enjoy the activities right up until the last minute. My elementary school son was able to enjoy snorkeling at a relaxed pace. We were also able to unwind as a family on the phantom island. The satisfaction level was beyond what you'd expect from a half-day tour. I would like to use this service again when I visit Ishigaki Island!

半日のツアーでしたが、マリンスポーツの時間も取ってくれて、楽しめました！
ガイドさんが親切で優しく、子供たちもすぐに仲良くなっていました。
時間ギリギリまでアクティビティを楽しませてくれました。
シュノーケルでは、小学生の息子もゆっくり楽しめました。
幻の島でも家族でゆったりすることができました。
半日とは思えないほどの満足度でした。
また石垣島に行く際には利用したいと思います！

The swimming area had high water clarity, and I was able to see many beautiful fish! After some free time on the beach, we took a banana boat to an uninhabited island and snorkeled to a spot where the fish gather. Since we entered from shallow water, I wasn't scared even though I'm not confident in my swimming skills. Once we reached the spot, there were so many corals and fish, it was incomparable to the beach! I absolutely recommend the snorkeling tour! The instructor provided thorough guidance and was very attentive to the participants during the snorkeling, making it a great experience. I would love to join again!

遊泳区域内でも海の透明度が高く、綺麗なお魚をたくさん見ることができました！ビーチでの自由時間の後、バナナボートに乗って無人島に行き、シュノーケルでお魚の集まるポイントまで。浅瀬からのエントリーなので泳ぎに自身がなくても怖くなかったです。ポイントまで行くと、ビーチとは比べ物にならないくらいサンゴもお魚もたくさん！！絶対にシュノーケル付きツアーがおススメです！
インストラクターの方が丁寧にレクチャーしてくれ、シュノーケル中も参加者に気を配りながら楽しく誘導してくださり、とても良かったです。またぜひ参加したいです！

In August, the Shiretoko Five Lakes may close depending on bear sightings, and I was about to give up after hearing that they hadn't opened even once since the beginning of the month. Just as I started walking on the elevated wooden path that remains open, they surprisingly opened at 9 AM! I was able to complete the Shiretoko Five Lakes walking trail loop! With the extensive knowledge of our guide, Umebayashi, I thoroughly enjoyed the Shiretoko Five Lakes for three hours. In the afternoon, we began a trek through the primeval forest called "Men's Tears," where we looked out over Shiretoko Cape from the edge of a cliff. It was a hike that you could never do alone, and I had a great time! At the end, Umebayashi quietly suggested we leave the area, and I wondered what he meant until I spotted a bear just a few meters away! We almost had an encounter, but thanks to Umebayashi's quick thinking, we avoided danger. He is an amazing guide, able to sense the presence of bears that we amateurs would never notice!

８月に入ると熊出現情報次第で閉鎖されてしまう知床五湖、８月に入ってから一度も開いてないとの報に諦めかけて、閉鎖されない高架木道を歩き始めたところに、まさかまさか朝９時から開放に！知床五湖遊歩道大ループを踏破できました！ガイドの梅林さんの豊富な知識に３時間、知床五湖を満喫できました。午後は、藪漕ぎから始まる“男の涙”原生林散策、崖っぷちから遥か知床岬を望んだり、決して個人では歩けないハイキング、楽しみました！最後には、梅林さんがそっとこの場を離れるようにというので何のことかと思ったら、わずか数m先に熊が！危うく遭遇するところでしたが、梅林さんの機転で危険回避。僕ら素人には全くわからない熊の気配を感じ取るなんて、梅林さんはスゴいガイドです！

I parked my car at Katsuna Park and crossed the road (you can go under the road from the right side with your back to the sea). A young man from Russia, born in Japan, helped me at the reception. (I paid in cash, but I realized I had already completed the credit card payment through VELTRA and got a refund.) The departure was at 13:30, but we were about 10 minutes late (it's better to have some buffer time in your schedule). There is one temporary toilet at the boarding area, but it's better to take care of that somewhere else beforehand. It's best to have your luggage as small as possible. (It's not the kind of situation where you can drink juice while on board.) The boat shakes quite a bit; I get motion sickness easily, so it was tough. However, the Blue Cave was incredibly beautiful! (You can also go out on deck from the cabin to see it. It's even more beautiful than the photos posted!) You might get a little splashed (but it's not enough to need a raincoat). Since the boat has a cabin, it was nice to be sheltered from the sun. (I think it's good for colder weather too.) My parents in their 70s also said they had a great time.

勝納公園に車停めて、道路向かい（海を背中にして右側から道路下くぐって行けます）日本生まれのロシアの若者が受付してくれました。（現金払いましたが、VELTRAでクレジット決済済みに自分で気付き返金してもらいました）13:30発で、10分位遅れました（前後の予定は余裕持った方が良い）乗り場に1個、仮設トイレありますが、先にどこかで済ませて来た方がいいです。荷物はなるべく小さいほうがいいです。（ジュース飲みながら…という感じではないです）かなり揺れます、私は酔いやすいので、辛かった。でも、青の洞窟はすっごい綺麗でした！（キャビン出て甲板の上に上がって見ることも可能。投稿写真よりもっともっと綺麗です！））少しだけ、しぶきがかかります。（カッパ着るほどではない）船がキャビンなので、日差し避けられ良かった。（寒い時もいいと思う）70代の両親も楽しかったと言ってました。

I didn't do enough research beforehand, but the day before the full moon was indeed beautiful, although there weren't many stars visible. The group bus was late, and even though we started late, it was disappointing that the ending time was strictly adhered to.

事前のリサーチ不足ですが、満月の前の日で、次は確かにキレイでしたが、星はあまり見えませんでした。
団体さんのバスが遅れて、遅れて始まったのに、終わる時間はきっちりしていて残念でした。

I signed up for a one-day tour to fully enjoy my first visit to Iriomote Island! I was worried about the typhoon, but it was clear and sunny on the day! I was healed by the great nature, and the beautiful sea that I usually can't see was truly amazing!! I took a lot of photos, and it became a wonderful memory! The staff were kind and great people! It was a day packed with everything I wanted to do!! I will come again ^_^

初めての西表島で満喫する為に
一日ツアーに申し込みました！
台風が不安でした、当日は
快晴でした！
大自然に癒され、
普段見るのことの出来ない
綺麗な海にほんと最高でした！！
いっぱい写真をとって
頂き、いい思い出になりました！
スタッフさんも優しくいい人でした！
やりたい事を詰め込んだ
一日になりました！！
また来ます^_^

It was raining on and off, but when we tried to go out to Lake Shikotsu, it started to rain quite heavily. We were able to observe river fish closely under the bridge. Although we ended up doing a tour on the river instead of the lake, my daughter seemed to enjoy catching shrimp. I hope we can experience the lake course next time.

雨が降ったりやんだりでしたが、支笏湖に出ようとしたら結構強い雨が降り、橋の下で川魚をじっくり観察できました。湖に出ないで川でのツアーになりましたが、娘はエビ捕りが楽しかった様です。次回は湖コースが体験出来ると良いなぁと思いました。

On the day of the visit, we couldn't enter the Blue Cave due to a typhoon, but we were taken to a spot with lots of fish, and we were able to see beautiful fish! We also got to feed them a lot and took many photos! I thought about bringing a waterproof phone case, but it wasn't necessary. I would like to participate again.

当日は台風の為青の洞窟には入れませんでしたが、魚がたくさんいるスポットに連れて行っていただき、綺麗な魚を見る事が出来ました！餌付けもたくさんでき、写真もたくさん撮ってもらいました！なので、防水スマホケースを持っていこうとしましたが、いらなかったです。また参加したいと思います。

I've been wanting to visit Yakushima for a long time! I was unsure whether to join a tour, but it turned out to be a great decision!

I think it took about 10 and a half hours round trip to Jomon Sugi, including breaks and meals, but it was nice not having to manage my own pace.

The trail was somewhat monotonous since we followed the same route both ways, which made it mentally challenging at times, but thanks to the guide's explanations and conversations, I was able to enjoy the journey!

Regarding the group composition, the participants had varying levels of fitness. However, they maintained a steady pace while also taking care of those who were struggling, which provided some reassurance. That said, since it’s a long trek, I think it's essential to do some exercise beforehand to prevent injuries.

Thank you for this experience!

前々から行きたかった屋久島旅行！
ツアーに参加するかどうか迷いましたが参加して大正解でした！

縄文杉までは休憩・食事も入れて往復10時間半程度だったかと思いますが、自身でペース配分をしなくて良い分気楽に行けました。

また往復で同じルートで登山としては単調な道が多いので、飽きがきてメンタル的に結構辛いのですが、ガイドの方の説明や会話のおかげで楽しく行程を終えられました！

編成チームについては、参加者の体力はまばらでした。ただペースを守りつつ、体力に余裕が無い方のケアもしてくれるのである程度は安心かなと思います。とはいえ長丁場ですので、怪我予防のためにも事前に運動しておくのは必須かなとおもいます。

今回はありがとうございました！

I participated with my mother. It was cloudy when we joined, and I was worried because it had been raining in the morning, but even with the clouds, the cave was very beautiful and it was amazing!
I think Otaru can be fully explored in two days, so I believe you should include the Blue Cave in your schedule.
The voyage to the cave was also pleasant and thrilling, and it will definitely be a great memory.

母と2人で参加しました。午前中雨模様で参加した時も曇りだったので心配でしたが、曇りでも洞窟内はとても綺麗で最高でした！
小樽は2日あれば制覇できる場所だと思うので、スケジュールに青の洞窟は入れるべきかと思います。
洞窟に行くまでの航海も気持ちよくスリルもあり良い思い出になること間違いなしです。

The trekking to Jomon Sugi was quite challenging due to the impact of the typhoon, with heavy rain falling. Normally, trekking on a sunny day would be preferable, but I realized that enjoying Yakushima's nature on a rainy day can also be wonderful. The misty forest, the moss glistening with raindrops, and the river flowing alongside the route turned into a torrent, adding to the sense of adventure.

For a couple in their 50s and 60s who are usually not very active, the journey of over 10 km one way was quite tough, but the Jomon Sugi we encountered at the end was truly divine, leaving us in awe. I believe this nature should be cherished and protected.

However, it was our guide, Mr. Shiramizu, who led us to such feelings. His extensive knowledge of Yakushima's nature and deep affection for the island shone through, and my wife and I became completely captivated by Yakushima. His storytelling skills kept us laughing throughout the challenging trek.

When we visit this island again, we would love to learn more about the wonderful aspects of Yakushima. Thank you very much!

台風の影響も少しあって、かなり強い雨も降る中の縄文杉トレッキングでした。普通であれば、晴れの日のトレッキングの方が良いに決まっていますが、屋久島の自然は雨の日に楽しむのも良いものだと実感させてくれました。薄く煙る森、雨粒を受けて生き生きと輝きを増すコケ、そしてルートの脇を流れる川は激流となり、冒険感もいや増すばかりでした。
普段運動不足の50と60の夫婦には片道10kmを超える道中は相当しんどかったですが、最後に出逢えた縄文杉は本当に神々しくて、畏怖の念を抱かずにいられませんでした。この自然は、これからも大事に大事に守っていくべきだと思います。
ですが、そんな想いに導いてくれたのは、ガイドの白水さんです。屋久島の自然の豊富な知識と屋久島への愛情深さが伝わって来て、僕ら夫婦もすっかり屋久島の虜になってしまいました。話術にも長けていらっしゃったので、きつい道中も常に笑いが絶えませんでした。
また、この島に来訪する際には、是非屋久島の良いところを教えて頂きたいです。本当にありがとうございました！

The guide was kind and had a wonderful personality.

Despite the changing weather, there was a bit of flooding, but we enjoyed kayaking. There were moments that required a little physical effort, but we had a great time.

We had soba for lunch.

The canyoning in the afternoon took place on a wide river that you won't find in the Kanto region, so we had fun swimming and jumping around.

If you're not very good at outdoor activities or lack confidence in your physical strength, I think they will adjust the level for you.

They took a lot of photos for us, and they also provided tea and coffee at various points.

If you come to Yakushima, hiking is great, but I think canyoning (sawa climbing) is also fun.

ガイドさんも優しい、とてもよい人柄です。

ころころ変わる天候の中、ちょっと増水でしたが、カヤックも楽しめました。
すこしだけ体力使う場面もありましたが楽しく過ごせました。

お弁当でお蕎麦をいただきました。

午後のキャニオニングは関東にはない広い川なので、ちょっと泳いだり、ジャンプしたりと楽しくすごせました。

アウトドア苦手すぎるとか、体力がまったく自信ないひとはレベル調整してくれると思います。

写真もたくさんとってくれましたし、お茶、コーヒーも途中途中で出していただきました。

屋久島来たら山登りもいいですが、キャニオニング（沢登り）も楽しいと思います。

Looking at Ibaraki from above, feeling the wind ~ simply amazing! Instructors are very kind and helpful, helps to build trust immediately. I'll do it again when I'm in the area !!!

I had a great time! I was actually worried that the day would be long and tiring. However, it flew by in no time. When I come back to Ishigaki, I hope to do it again!

すごく楽しかったです！
1日は長いし疲れるかな？と実は不安でした。
でも、あっという間に過ごす事ができて
石垣にまたきたときは
お願いします！

The walking pace was faster than I expected, and I didn't have time to put on my raincoat, so it was quite hard, and I thought I might get a muscle strain. I brought a lot of portable toilets, but there was limited time to use them. However, the scenery was really beautiful. I'm glad I got to see it at least once in my lifetime.

思っていたより歩くペースが速かったり、レインコートを着る時間もなかったりと、かなりハードで肉離れになるかと思いました。簡易トイレを大量に持っていきましたが、トイレに入る時間も限られていました。ただ、景色などはすごく良かったです。一生に一度は見たかったのでよかったです。

I chose this tour because it was available for participants starting from 120 cm. I thought it would be geared towards children, but it turned out to be a course that adults who usually lack exercise could enjoy as well.

On the day of the tour, there were four groups participating, and each group had a guide. The staggered movement meant that it didn't feel crowded, and we were able to fully enjoy the experience.

On the way there, we progressed through the stream and arrived at the waterfall, and on the way back, we walked through the forest for about half of the route, which added variety to the course.

Since we moved at a leisurely pace through the stream, we were also able to enjoy playing in the beautiful water.

120cmから参加出来るとのことで、このツアーを選びました。子ども向けかと思いきや、普段運動不足の大人には充分楽しめるコースでした。
当日は4組参加で、2組に1人ガイドが付きました。時間差を付けての移動で、混雑した感じはなく満喫出来ました。
行きはひたすら沢の中を進み滝に到着、帰りは半分ほど森の中を歩きと、コース変化も楽しめました。
沢は休み休み進むので、キレイな水での遊びも堪能出来ました。

I went to Taiko Rock.
Since it was my first time trekking, it was quite challenging.
For those who are aware of their lack of exercise, it seems that bringing trekking poles makes it easier.

Many people at Shiratani Unsuikyo go without a guide, but I often found myself wondering where to walk, so I think beginners should definitely hire a guide for peace of mind. You can also learn a lot from their stories.

Since it was early in the morning, there were few people passing by, and I could walk leisurely. On the way down, I started to encounter many people, so I got the impression that a lot of people start around 9 AM. I'm glad I left early, as I was able to enjoy Taiko Rock all to myself.

The guide was dressed lightly in a T-shirt and shorts, but I bumped my legs against rocks quite a bit, so I think wearing long pants or tights would have been better. Yakushima is full of rocks, so it can be quite painful. Since I was in the mountains, I probably didn't need a hat. Just wearing a hat made me feel quite hot, and I ended up taking it off at the end.

太鼓岩まで行きました。
トレッキングは初めてなので、けっこう大変でした。
運動不足を自覚している人は、ストックを持って行くと楽だそうです。

白谷雲水狭はガイドをつけてない人も多くいますが
どこを歩いたらいいの？と思うことが度々あったので
初心者はガイドを付けた方が安心です。お話も色々聞けて勉強になります。

早朝だったので、すれ違う人も少なくゆったりと歩けました。
下山の時には、たくさんの人とすれ違うようになったので
9時頃に出発の人が多いのかなーという印象です。
朝早く出たので、太鼓岩が独り占めできてよかったです。

ガイドさんはTシャツ半ズボンという軽装でしたが、私は足をあっちこっちに
ぶつけたので、長ズボンかタイツでよかったとおもいます。
屋久島は岩だらけなので、結構いたいです。
山の中だったので、帽子はいらなかったかな。帽子被るだけでけっこう暑く感じて、最後は脱いでいました。

It was more enjoyable than I expected, and I had a fulfilling day blessed with good weather. I knew that fit individuals were participating in this course, so I was a bit nervous at the start. The initial pace was fast, and I worried about keeping up, but our guide managed the walking time and breaks well, allowing us to walk comfortably in the end.

We visited Shiratani Unsuikyo → Taiko Rock → Jomon Sugi in that order. Since we came to Yakushima with the goal of seeing Jomon Sugi, it was the perfect order for our group to see it last. Along the way, we received a lot of energy from the guide's stories, photo opportunities, and the power of nature, making it an exciting and thrilling 11-hour trek. The sense of accomplishment was incredible. I highly recommend this for anyone wanting to experience nature in a day. Thank you, guide Shinmura.

期待以上に楽しく、天気に恵まれ充実した一日でした。
このコースは健脚の方が参加しているとしり、初めはドキドキのスタートでした。
初めのペースが速く着いていけるかと途中心配もしましたが、ガイドさんが歩く時間、休憩と上手にとってもらい、結局は余裕をもって歩くことが出来ました。
今回は白谷雲水峡→太鼓岩→縄文杉の順で回りました。
縄文杉を目的に屋久島に来たので、最後に縄文杉は私たちグループにとっては最高の順番でした。
途中のガイドさんの話や、写真撮影、大自然のパワーをたくさんもらい、終始ウキウキ、ワクワクの１１時間のトレッキングでした。達成感も半端ないです。１日で大自然を感じたい方、お勧めです。ガイドの新村さんありがとうございました。

Thanks to our kind guide Yoshifumi, my 8-year-old son was able to fully enjoy the experience. Despite the difficult conditions due to the rain the night before, he made accurate judgments based on his rich experience. Additionally, considering the unstable weather and my child's stamina, he led us in a way that made my son say, "I want to go again." We look forward to the next time!

親切なガイドの吉節さんのお陰で８歳の息子も存分に楽しめたようです。
前夜の雨により判断が難しいなか、豊かな経験に基づき的確な判断をしてくださいました。
また、天候も不安定な中、子供の体力などを鑑みながらリードしていただいたお陰で、息子も「また行ってみたい」と言っています。
次回も宜しくお願いします。

The winds from the typhoon were strong, making it a bit challenging to paddle the kayak, but it was fun to synchronize with my partner. I appreciated the detailed explanations about the plants and animals visible from the river. Even in the rain, we had an enjoyable experience. They also lent us non-flying hats. Although the sea was rough, we had no issues kayaking on the river. Next time, I want to join a sunset kayak trip that goes out to the sea.

台風の風が強くて、カヤックを漕ぐのがちょっと大変でしたが、2人の息を合わせるのが楽しかった。川から見られる植物や動物の説明を詳しくしてもらえて、よかった。雨の中でも、楽しく体験できました。飛ばないタイプの帽子も貸してもらえた。海が荒れていても、川でのカヤックだったので、問題無く体験できた。
今度は、海まで行く、サンセットカヤックに参加したいな。
