Pick-up at Miyanoura - Anbo area
Resting Big Rock ⇒ Dragon Drop (Approx.6 hours.)
You will be overwhelmed by the imposing Resting Big Rock, and as you go further, you will see a view of a single waterfall that looks like a flying dragon falling. The water-eroded rocks are impressive. Below the Azalea Suspension Bridge, the clear stream is refreshing.
Shiratani Unsuikyo Trailhead ⇒ Kusugawa Footpath.
From the "Azalea Suspension Bridge", you can see the waterfall. After that, you will walk through the mossy forest on the Kusugawa Footpath, which was used for logging during the Edo period.
Kuguri-sugi
The "Kuguri-sugi" is a tree with a hollow at the bottom that you can pass through. It took root over a fallen tree, but when the fallen tree rotted away, it left the tree in this unique shape.
Shiratani Unsuikyo Hut.
Take a break at the unmanned mountain hut with a water source and toilet.
Nanahon-sugi ⇒ Mononoke no Mori (Mossy Forest)
Once you pass the "Nanahon-sugi" with its seven spreading branches, you will enter the all-green "Mononoke no Mori (Mossy Forest)". Please experience this fantastical world covered in moss.
Tsuji Pass ⇒ Taiko Rock
From Taiko Rock, you can see the highest peak in Kyushu, Miyanoura-dake, as well as Okudake, Maedake, and the Anbo River. In the spring, the view is beautiful with mountain cherry blossoms blooming all over the place below!
Start descending.
Nanahon-sugi ⇒ Kuguri-sugi ⇒ Three-way junction ⇒ Kusugawa Walkway
Walk towards the Kusugawa Walkway while admiring the large cedar trees such as Nanahon-sugi and Kuguri-sugi. You will walk along a different path than the one you came, this time along a stream.
Satsuki Suspension Bridge ⇒ Hiryu Otoshi ⇒ Ikoino Oiwa ⇒ Shiratani Square
We will prepare a lunch box for lunch.
Please note that the contents may change. Thank you for your understanding in advance.
I will send you to the Miyanoura-Anbo area.
