We aim to "increase the number of mountain climbers" and "promote safe mountain climbing." We believe that by providing the three infrastructure elements of "tools," "information," and "opportunities," more people will be able to enjoy spending time in the mountains. We offer free rental of mountain climbing equipment so that those who already have their own equipment can reduce their load and travel light, and even those who have never climbed before can enjoy Yakushima trekking safely and securely. Experienced guides who live on Yakushima will provide thorough support and introduce the nature of Yakushima from a familiar perspective.
ゆっくりとみんなのペースに合わせてすすめてくださり、味噌汁に珈琲まで用意してくださりました。良い天気にも恵まれ穏やかな旅行の思い出となりました。ありがとうございました。
そもそも登山をしたことがない私にとっては、登山道具の無料レンタルは非常に助かりました。しかし参加日が警報級の大雨で中止に。さらには振替えた次の日も出発直前まで雷雨。本当に決行するのかと思う大雨の中ではレンタルにあるザック(リュック)にカバーも付属していればよかったと思います。特に雨の多い屋久島においては、防水機能があるとは言えかなり違うと思いました。
ツアー自体はとても面白いガイドさんで、往復10時間も楽しく参加できました。今回をきっかけに、Yamakaraさんの他のイベントも参加しようと思っているくらいです。
初屋久島＆初登山の方にお勧めします。
初めての屋久島で縄文杉トレッキング。体力にもあまり自信がなかったのでガイドさんがいてくれたら安心と思い、Yamakaraに頼みました。
とても面白く、屋久島のことは何でも知ってるガイドさんで安心して縄文杉まで辿り着けました！素敵な写真も撮ってくださり、とても良い思い出になりました！
寄り添ってくれるガイドさんで助かりました。
早朝4時に宿を出発。出発前に朝食を食べて、6時前から16時過ぎまで約22kmのトレッキング。トロッコ道の約8.5kmはフラットな道のりだが、目的地の縄文杉までの残り約2.5kmは岩場を登る過酷な難所。とは言え、足場を可能な限り整備してくれてはあるし、休み休み行くので、体力に不安がなければ最終到達は充分可能。過酷さを凌駕する体験と風景と人の出会いは"素晴らしい"のひと言。特に常にポジティブに参加者に声掛けしてくれるツアーガイドさんには感謝！ストレス生活をデトックスできました！
往復22キロ楽しんで頂けたようで大変嬉しく存じます！！
ご投稿いただいた写真をみても元気や新緑で最高のお天気！
是非またストレスデトックスに歩きにいらして下さい～！

All the necessary equipment can be rented on-site, so it is very popular with people who are thinking, "I'm new to mountain climbing and I don't know what I need...", "I haven't been hiking for a long time and my equipment is probably worn out", or "I only have 1-2 days of trekking on my itinerary, so I want to reduce my luggage as much as possible". After your tour application is confirmed, you can choose what you need and the size from the form in the "Application Information" email sent from Yamakara Yakushima. ■ Rental items ■ 1) Mountain climbing shoes 2) Rainwear 3) Backpack 4) Headlamp 5) Stocks 6) Fleece (warm clothing) 7) Sleeping bag 8) Sleeping bag mat * Rental delivery method We will deliver it to your accommodation on the island free of charge. If the size does not fit after trying it on, please call the Yamakara Yakushima office between 10:00 and 18:00. The phone number is listed in the "Final Information" email sent 5 days before the tour. This is an emergency contact number, so please contact us in advance by email.
More than 70% of Yamakara Yakushima tour participants are beginners. It is not uncommon for them to even touch mountain climbing equipment for the first time. Please read the information on the tour page and in the email after application about advance preparations, the contents of the equipment, and how to use it. There is also a video! Of course, you can ask the guide on the day of the tour if you don't understand something when you actually touch it! On the day, an experienced guide will guide you! We will do everything we can to ensure that everyone can enjoy mountain climbing safely. However, it is none other than your own two feet that actually take you to your destination. If you incorporate light exercise (climbing stairs, walking, etc.) into your daily routine before participating in the tour and build up your physical strength, you will be able to enjoy the tour with more ease!
