Yakushima

Jomonsugi can be started on two routes. - Anbo route takes about 10 hours to go. - Shiratani Unsuikyo route takes about 12 hours (most of the way is done quite well. There is a smooth pathway to the steep slope. If you want to walk in one day, you should start off before dawn. To be back before sunset. But for those who want to take a leisurely walk, they can stop at the Takatsuka Cottage, not too far from Jomonsugi, but there are only bathrooms.)

How to get there: 90 minutes by plane from Osaka
Or take a boat from Kagoshima Port for about 4 hours.
