1 / 4 2 / 4 3 / 4 4 / 4


Au lendemain de mes 2 jours dans la montagne au cœur de Yakushima Yakushima, je prends une journée de repos: une marche tranquille au cloud water Gorges Shiratani Shiratani Unsuikyo . C'est juste un bout de vallée, mais facilement accessible, a little nicer than others, kept clean, and renamed in もの のけ 姫 の 森 Mononoke Hime no mori, the forest of Princess Mononoke, Hayao Miyazaki's animation, which would have found inspiration for forests.

Since across from Kenji, clouds threaten inside secret of Yakushima 屋 久 岛


The (single) bus that circles the island, once an hour is exorbitant, 920 yen for up 宫 之 浦 Miyanoura the great city of the island. From

there 白谷云 水 峡 Shiratani Unsuikyo is close (by car) and can also be accessed by a bus which is not about to pass. So I start walking along the road hitchhike cars, all too rare ...


Still no car, so I attack the climb ...


It is nice but I'm still walking


Finally, a young couple who had passed me turned around and lifts me up entry


Entering 白谷云 水 峡 Shiratani Unsuikyo costs 300 yen, the cost of laziness to reach by road, then we may very well come back free, since the Circuit joined the hiking paths of the interior of the island. But hey, at this point it is better to climb in nature rather than remain confined in this small tourist trail.

The route climbs along a beautiful cascading stream, along with deer and protected too young to know what humans are capable of, and borrows very little paths Fine.

Always 神秘 的 mystical atmosphere that ...












Finally, is neither more nor less than a valley designed for non-hikers tourists, similar to the portion of the trail 淀 川登 山口 Yodogawa Tozanguchi - 尾 之间 Onoaida , my favorite in this Yakushima Hiking in little more cleared et immensément plus fréquenté. Mais pas de Colobockle pour autant ...

J'en profite pour me balader dans les rues du village. Je falls into the snacks



From the port of 宫 之 浦 Miyanoura


On the one hand, the mystery of the mountains


the other hand, the infinite ocean, with 种子 岛 Tanegashima middle



I rent an ATV (800 yen / day) to go Ambo It's less expensive and more functional than the bus, I can keep it to go around Yakushima next day, and I can go to several places on the island.
I go eat with Kenji, Dai, and Kotaro, and they find me in a double 真 木 蔵 人. In short, ... Following here ...

At the entrance to the trail 淀 川 Yodogawa, I'm at 1300 m, it is 13h, and I spot this sign which descends to the sea by a path described as more difficult than the tourist trail.

6.5 hours, I have not time, but 12 km downhill, it's quite playable before nightfall


He called
尾 之间 Onoaida Trail, named after the village in which it opens by the sea And indeed, it is less well maintained and most savage, it's much more natural for the small steps that lead up at the top.

尾 之间 トレイル Onoaida Trail


A nature always fantastic


Moss natural sparkling to fade 银 阁 寺 Ginkaku-ji


Ah, it is still maintained this way


After a few kilometers I found myself in that atmosphere that I had described Yakushima: 神秘 的 ( shimpiteki): occult, mystical, mysterious, secret ... The vegetation is very dense and moist, and there is no such thing (tree, path) which is particularly distinguished landscape: each object is small, hidden and secret, covered with moss, but there are so many that it created a feeling of oppression from nowhere. I feel that are all around me, animals, plants, insects, streams and following the path, but none is visible at a glance. Yakushima is the magic.




Creek Crossing. This is where it gets stretched if it rained



River crossing

Water is also exceptionally clear. With all the mud there upstream, it appears transparent




1:30 later, there is 8 km, I went 1 / 3 of the trail . But at the time, I calculated the distance to 9 km in total, and I thought I would end up with mystical miles each lasting 1:30 ...





5 minutes from Trail 尾 之间 Onoaida


For the first time I noticed that I left the cave of the monster was the last mountains. In the distance waterfalls on long smooth rocks


The sign reads: "Warning , dangerous crossing in heavy rains "






At one end of it indicated a detour of 40 min A / R to 蛇 之 口 滝 Janokuchi-taki, a waterfall cascades rather secretive giant compared to the rest of Yakushima. He is 17h and it will soon be dark, but I can not ignore a waterfall, I leave my bag and I progress ...

far, we see beyond the forest at an altitude of 500 m.


In fact, it is not small at all even though she missed on many maps of the island. And most importantly, the pool at his feet is filled with a very clean and clear.

蛇 之 口 滝 Janokuchi-taki waterfall


蛇 之 口 滝 Janokuchi-taki waterfall

course I had named it ...


... even if the water is damn cool.

I press for the last miles, offering a graduated return to reality. First, a broader way, then a few benches, and finally palms.



Looks like it, but it is 6:20 p.m. ET it was almost dark. Here I am out of the magical world, with knees stewed


The trail arrives at a particular location of the village of 尾 之间 Onoaida ...


... the best reward, an onsen! 尾 之间 温泉


Cell the dark, so I will withdraw my couch in sweat, grass and a variety of spider webs, while soaking my muscles hurt in boiling water. Ignoring my short breaks, it was still 13 hours and I walk over to the jungle.

of Onoaida The onsen is a bit unusual, because there are no small seats in front of the ice to wash as usual. Finally, there are only 2. Most people, grandpas, sit on the ground, worked on the flagstone at the edge of one bath, to wash and rinse basins with water from the deep end. There is still a tap to draw water "virgin" to Rinse the head. Except for temperature (44 - 49 ° C), more photos here talking .

Kenji Then fetch me and we returned to a yakiniku in a guesthouse. I finally collapsing ...

The rest of Yakushima, I will do in tourist mode, and it is also mystical here ...
