Shiratani Unsuikyo hike to Taikoiwa Rock is my favorite Yakushima trail. Watch Princess Mononoke before visiting. Local tourists will flock to the Jomonsugi Trail but honestly this hike is way more interesting.

Trailhead:
Shiratani Unsuikyo, Yakushima Island

Accessibility & How to Get to the Trailhead:

  • By Car: Accessible by rental car from Yakushima Airport or Miyanoura Port.

  • By Public Transport: Take a bus from Miyanoura or Anbo to Shiratani Unsuikyo.

    See this link for details.

Hike Details:

  • Distance: Approx. 5 km round trip

  • Duration: 4 - 5 hours

  • Incline: 400m

  • Difficulty: Ideal for beginners

General Information & Summary:
The Shiratani Unsuikyo hike leads you through an enchanting moss-covered forest, famously known as the "Princess Mononoke Forest," to the panoramic viewpoint at Taikoiwa Rock. The trail offers a mystical journey through ancient Yakusugi cedar trees and mossy terrain, with stunning views of Yakushima’s rugged landscape. The hike is relatively easy, making it suitable for beginners, but the magical atmosphere and breathtaking scenery make it rewarding for all levels of hikers.
