Perfect for those short on time, this tour offers a quick yet immersive escape to Yakushima. Travel from Kagoshima by high-speed jetfoil Toppy, and explore the lush forests of Shiratani Unsui Gorge with an English-speaking guide.
This mossy wonderland, said to have inspired Princess Mononoke, is part of Yakushima’s UNESCO World Natural Heritage area.
Located 60 km south of the Osumi Peninsula, Yakushima is a granite island covered 90% by forest, with mountains over 1,800 meters high, including Mt. Miyanoura, the tallest in Kyushu. Experience the island’s mystical beauty in one unforgettable day.
This extended hike leads beyond the standard routes to explore deeper into Shiratani Unsuikyo Ravine. You’ll pass through iconic spots such as Kugurisugi Cedar, Shiratani Mountain Cabin, Nanahon Sugi Cedar, the moss-covered Mononoke Forest (inspiration for the film Princess Mononoke), and Tsujitoge Pass, before reaching the highlight—Taikoiwa Rock. From the summit, enjoy a sweeping view that includes Mt. Tachu.
Please take the high-speed Jetfoil Toppy No.112（07:45- 09:45） from Kagoshima Port (ferry ticket included in the tour price). The guide will be waiting for you at Miyanoura Port.
