Yodogawa mountaineering → 04:50 Yodogawa mountaineering valley 10:20 Miyanoura Dake top Miyanoura Dake → Shin Takatsuka hut stay → Jomon cedar in the early morning → Shiratani Ununshui Gorge Yakushima rhododendron is in full bloom From the end of May to June in the season I want to climb. 35 days a month. Does it rain? It takes more than 14 hours to walk 25 km or more.

It's surprisingly easy to go to Yakusugi.

The giant cedar tree that grows on Yakushima is called Yakusugi, but it is not easy to get to Yakusugi. In a hard place, you need a 10-hour trek to Jomon cedar, and even in a light place, a 2-hour trek in Yakusugi Land. Meanwhile, Yakusugi on the side of the road is Kawauesugi. Follow the narrow road to Yakusugi Land, pass the Kigen Sugi and go a little further to Kawauesugi.

it's yakusugi right next to the road.

It is a little further back of Kimoto cedar, and it is one of the valuable "Yakusugi that you can go to see without walking". Without guts, I'm looking for only tourist spots that don't have to trek. Even though it's Yakushima ... There is no space to park your car right next to it, so choose a place with a good view before and after and stop. Buses will also come here, so please don't stop the car as it is just ahead of the curve.

From Kimoto Sugi to Don

Kawauesugi is the first cedar you see when you get off the Kimotosugi bus stop. Wow, I feel that I came to Yakushima. I think it's not a thousand years old, so I think it's called Kosugi, not Yakusugi.

After seeing Kigensugi, you will be on the road after a few minutes drive. The historical writing says that logging was planned at the time of the forest road planning, but the name of the person in charge who tried to leave it arrived. Unlike Kimoto Sugi, there is no bus here, so I recommend going by car.
