Yakushima Tour

About Yakushima

Yakushima Hiking 白谷云 水 峡 Shiratani Unsuikyo Yakushima Tour
1 / 4 2 / 4 3 / 4 4 / 4


As previously introduced , Yakushima is a circular island, whose heart is populated by a dense forest, magic and more than 40 peaks over 1000 meters. But the perimeter is more or less busy when there instead.

At the mouth of the two largest streams are the two largest villages, 宫 之 浦 安 房 Miyanoura and Ambo. And if not, there are smaller villages, waterfalls, onsen ... well, things natural.

Instead of doing it by bicycle, it is finally all together around the island by car, because Kenji is on leave due to bad weather. The fishermen, many of Yakushima, have also forced many leave because of the extreme southern island prevented them from sailing. Besides, I also thought renter today, but at dawn, the Speakers announced the departure of non-ferry. Yakushima not Quit! (Except aircraft)

Yakushima 屋 久 岛, 130 km perimeter


We drive in the opposite counterclockwise direction, along Highway 77 which is sometimes called 78. There for 130 miles. And we look at the remarkable places .


The first stop is 千寻 滝 Senpiro-no-taki, a large waterfall


course, the souvenir shop, was the variation of Kitty-chan ...


Pic-nic wild




the other side of the island, then we arrive at 大川 の 滝 OHKO-no-taki, a waterfall even greater. With its 88 meters, it is ranked in the Top 100 Japan waterfalls.


大川 の 滝 OHKO-no-taki



And it also makes me want to swim ...




We continue our journey, it is this time on the Seibu Rindo 西部 林 道, a road a little cut in the mountain because there is no flat land along the ocean. It's very narrow, and that's where bus stops to make full turns of the island.

Yakushima underground


Normalement, les singes se promènent au milieu de la route



En face, c'est Kuchinoerabujima Kuchinoerabu-shima , une île volcanique bien plus petite


Yakushima Island Lighthouse, le phare de Yakushima, sur le cap Nagata Misaki Nagata




永田 浜 Nagata-hama, Nagata beach or turtles come to lay their eggs (the season proper)




大 浦 温泉 Isso Oura Onsen, unfortunately closed


After a tiny miserable road, there was this miserable building that can not be confused with an onsen. And yet, casting a glance through the windows, there are many small bathroom miserable. It is well an onsen! Too bad, we'll go to another.



Finally, 楠 川 温泉 Kusukawa Onsen welcomes us. This is not the luxury ...


Back at HQ, サンパウロ ...


Dai & Co. ... where we prepare a plate diabolical

A giant plate for 3 full of sashimi tuna, flying fish, octopus, squid, bonito, ... as fresh and local


For the finale, nothing better than to relax in an onsen, and a particular property. In the south of the island, there are 2 actually, baths on the beach with sea views

is the first attempt, 汤 泊 温泉 Yudomari Onsen. But water is very warm, and as we are still early March, it begins to freeze ...

汤 泊 温泉 Yudomari Onsen by night



Then we'll have a look at 平 内海 中 温泉 Hirauchi Kaichu Onsen. This is really beside the sea, so it is accessible at low tide. And it is mixed, so difficult to convince the other 3 to do a jump. During the day, it is apparently very touristy and most onlookers go there just to "show", which obviously reduces the number of people who want to swim. But at night it sounds top. Finally, when the tide goes out, we'll have a look.

The tide has just begun, and baths, hardly visible, are still dirty. Accidentally fall into it fully clothed Dai, what makes us go faster warm. His mobile phone has died, which proves that it was salt water and no clean water for onsen!

After two days of autarky, the ferry finally move again between Yakushima and Kagoshima .

We say goodbye to the upper deck 安 房 大桥 Ambo, a bridge high enough mystery which from time to time, people fell or jumped ...
