About this experience

Starting at: 09:00

Schedule

Pick-up at Miyanoura - Anbo area
Yakusugiland
You can choose the course you prefer. Yakusugiland offers four courses: 30 minutes, 50 minutes, 80 minutes, and 150 minutes. On the day of the tour, please enjoy your preferred course while consulting with the guide.
Start of trekking
Compared to Shiratani Unsuikyo on a rainy day, Yakusugiland is safer and easier to walk. Especially, the 30-minute and 50-minute courses are easy to walk for a short walk. On the way to the entrance of Yakusugiland, you can see Yakuzaru (Yakushima macaque) and Yakushika (Yakushima deer).
highlights
On the 150-minute course, you can see giant trees such as the Mother and Child Cedar, the Long Beard Cedar, the Buddha Cedar, the Heavenly Pillar Cedar, and the Serpentinite Cedar (which fell in a typhoon in 1997).
We will prepare a lunch box for your meal.
Please note that the contents may change. We appreciate your understanding in advance.
I will send you to the Miyanoura-Anbo area.

We participated as a couple with a combined age of 120 years. Both of us are quite healthy, but since it was our first time trekking, we changed from the 150-minute course to the 80-minute course at Yakusugi Land due to some anxiety. The trails in Yakusugi Land are relatively well-maintained, and we were fortunate with the weather, which was excellent, although there were some areas where we had to be cautious depending on the weather. The guide kindly explained the plants and stones, helping us… We participated as a couple with a combined age of 120 years.
