Yakushima: an Oasis of Unspoilt Nature | World Natural Heritage in Japan
Yakushima, located off the southern tip of Kagoshima, is a natural haven filled with enchanting forests, rich biodiversity, and expansive oceanside views—earning it World Natural Heritage status in 1993 ( Said to be the inspiration for the setting of Studio Ghibli’s Princess Mononoke, the forests’ millennia-old yakusugi trees, moss-covered rocks, and sparkling streams create truly awe-inspiring memories.
Beyond its ancient trees, Yakushima’s beaches are filled with rich marine life—including treasured sea turtles—making them prime snorkeling spots. The ocean also lends itself to the island’s natural onsens. These fleeting hot springs are only accessible twice a day and offer unparalleled views of the ocean.
Aside from Yakushima’s nature, its local communities offer plenty of opportunities to interact with residents, try island cuisine, and learn about regional industries.
Join us on a journey of this naturally and culturally rich island, and discover the rare beauty of Yakushima.

I can't believe it's been 9 months since we took our last big trip in Japan. Yakushima Island had been looming on our Japan bucket list for 5 years and I'm so happy we carved out the time to visit this unique area of Japan.
We decided to take the Shinkansen and ferry, but you can also fly directly there. It really just depends on your time and budget! We also wanted to make sure we saw Kagoshima so the train just made sense for us.
Below are all the pins for where we went and the resources we used to plan this vacation. If you have a chance to go to Yakushima I can speak highly enough of this island. The weather is definitely unpredictable so bring PLENTY of rain gear and plan to get wet. We had some pretty great weather and only fell victim to the rain on our first day.

Urwälder, wilde Küsten und einsame Gipfel | Outdoor Japan | Yakushima
Abenteuerurlaub? In Japan?? Du wusstest nicht, dass das möglich ist? Dann lass dich von Japans unbekannten Naturparadiesen überzeugen!
Denn auch wenn die meisten Reisenden bei Japan zuerst an Großstädte und Megametropolen denken, ist Japan ein Land voller Natur: Umgeben von Ozean, der Strände und Küsten prägt und überzogen von Bergketten und unberührten Wäldern, die vielen Wildtieren eine Heimat bieten. Mehr als 21.000 km² Fläche Japans entfällt auf die mehr als 30 Nationalparks.
Am Beispiel der Insel Yakushima im Süden der japanischen Hauptinsel Kyushu in der Präfektur Kagoshima, die von einem dichten Urwald überzogen ist, in dem man tausende Jahre alte Zedernbäume, atemberaubende Wasserfälle und grüne Hänge vorfindet, zeigen wir, was man tatsächlich fast überall in Japan machen kann, wenn man ein Abenteuer sucht: Wandern, Gipfelstürmen, Klettern, Radfahren, Kajak fahren, Wildtiere beobachten und natürlich die Natur genießen und bei lokalen Festen auch der japanischen Kultur näher kommen.
Im unberührten Urwald auf Yakushima begegnet man auf Wanderungen, Rehen und Affen. Der Berg Miyanoura im Zentrum der Insel ist 1936m hoch. Damit hat Yakushima ein einzigartiges Ökosystem, das von einer subtropischen bis zu einer alpinen Zone reicht – kein Wunder also, dass es geradezu als kleiner Kosmos für ganz Japan steht, das ebenfalls verschiedene Klimazonen und bis in die japanischen Alpen hinein sehr unterschiedliche Höhen bietet. Nicht zuletzt wegen der abwechslungsreichen Topografie und der Artenvielfalt wurde Yakushima zum Weltnaturerbe erklärt und ist heute ebenfalls ein Nationalpark. Kein Wunder, dass der berühmte Studio Ghibli Film „Prinzessin Mononoke“ den hiesigen Urwald und die Shiratani Unsui Schlucht mit den bemoosten Felsen als Model für die Landschaften im Anime nutzte.
Die Skiaufnahmen stammen übrigens als einziger Teil des Films nicht aus Yakushima. Hier gibt es Freestyle und Backcounty an den Hängen des Skiresorts Hakuba in Nagano und am Mt.Tanigawa (Tanigawadake) in der Gunma Präfektur. Denn auch das steht Outdoor-Enthusiasten in Japan offen: das ganz eigene Wintersport-Abenteuer!

【4K ULTRA HD】Japan's World Natural Heritage Site: Yakushima Ancient Forest Scenic Relaxation Film
Yakushima Island is a round-shaped island with a circumference of 132 kilometer. Most of the island is mountainous with more than 45 mountains over 1000 meters high including the highest mountain in Kyushu, Mt. Miyanoura at 1,936 meters. Yakushima Island is also known as “The Alps on the Ocean.” Flat usable land on Yakushima Island is limited due to the mountainous terrain. In 1993, Part of Yakushima Island was registered as Japan’s first World Natural Heritage Site. Yakushima Island’s unique forest of Yakusugi cedar trees, thousands of years old, and the vertical distribution of vegetation ranging from a subtropical zone to a subarctic zone were recognized for its value as a world nature heritage. Yakushima Island is also known for its annual rainfall, around 4500 mm in the coastal areas and 8,000 – 10,000 mm in the mountains. Yakushima Island’s annual rainfall is more than double the rainfall of mainland Japan. Half of its yearly rainfall is from May to August. The average temperature of the coastal areas is a mild 20 degrees Celsius being located in a subtropical zone. The vertical distribution of climate on Yakushima Island ranges from the subtropical to the subarctic giving rise to the variation of vegetation. In winter, you may see snow on some mountains. Kuchinoerabujima Island is a beautiful green active volcanic island, 12 kilometers long and 5 kilometers wide at its widest point. Mt. Shin, an active volcano at 657 meters, provides for several good hot springs around the seashore.

Yakushima Island #1???????? Adventure in the hidden forest!! Japan vlog☆
Hey Pecomonz♡ It's MIKI!!
Today I will take you to Yakushima Island in Kagoshima Prefecture♪
Yakushima, a World Heritage-listed site, is a small mountainous island off the south of Kyushu. Its isolation from the main land, steep terrain and high precipitation have made Yakushima one of Japan’s natural wonders with its pristine forests of Yakusugi, or cedar trees native to Yakushima.

Hiking Mt Miyanoura
Mt Miyanoura Trail Description: What to expect when doing a day-hike to Miyanoura Daké from the Yodogo/Yodogawa Trail Head in Yakushima.
Before hiking, please let someone know where you are going, fill out a mountain climbing notification at the trail head, and consider donating (recommended ¥1000 for day-hikers) to trail maintenance.
To do this hike on your own, you'll need private transportation to the trail head. (Taxi is ~¥7000 from Anbo, and most people start hiking before 6am.) Don't forget to bring an extra layer of warm clothes, top-quality rain gear, head light, and spare batteries. Please note that the times stated in the video are only if you hike at the pace I hiked in the video. A rough map of trail times should be available here:
If you get lost, it is recommended that you stay put rather than try to head down because you could end up in a gorge. In fact, the higher up you are, the more likely of finding a cell-phone signal.
If you find any mistakes in the video, or would like to add from your personal experience, please comment.

大家好 歡迎收看 《行影步離》
這座既神秘又略顯恐怖的島嶼，是黃渤《一出好戲》的拍攝地，宮崎駿曾數次來到這裡尋找靈感，隨後創作出《幽靈公主》，這座島嶼就是日本最早的世界遺產-屋久島。
屋久島位於日本九州鹿兒島最南端，因島上高山起伏也是日本降雨最多的地方。但即使在雨季也不斷會有遊客前來，尋找電影中那一幕幕古老而神秘的自然景觀。
在屋久島東南本富嶽有一座千尋瀑布，巨大的花崗岩上，呈現出壯麗的V字景觀。而島西邊的另一處大川瀑布，則是島上最大的瀑布也是日本百瀑之一。
從大川瀑布向北有一條西部林道，一直以來都是屋久鹿和屋久猴的地盤，森林密布的屋久島也有一句諺語，號稱人兩萬，鹿兩萬，猴兩萬。
屋久島西部的永田海灘是一處不錯的休閒海灘，如果有興趣還可以由此進入清爽怡人的橫河溪谷。
永田是距離屋久島最高峰宮之浦岳最近的地方，海拔1936米的宮之浦岳幾乎在屋久島正中央，也是日本九州的最高峰，被譽為海上阿爾卑斯。
在宮之浦岳的密林深處，生長著屋久島上的樹神-繩文杉據說已有7200年的樹齡，要想親眼目睹樹神可並不輕鬆，從荒川登山口出發單程山路為10.7公里，往返至少10個小時，不過一半以上的路程都是沿著小火車軌道。
途中會遇到一棵巨大的裂開的樹幹，站進中央能看到樹幹上面的心型切口，這也是最有意義最具吸引力的拍照打卡地。
越往後走苔蘚會越厚，霧色渺茫的森林充斥眼簾，這裡沒有鮮花滿眼全是略顯恐怖的綠色。
如此從千尋瀑布順時針繞島一周，最後在屋久島東北部，就是幽靈公主中苔蘚森林的原型-白谷雲水峽。這裡有三條登山路線可供選擇，分別為1個小時觀賞3000年彌生杉，3小時進入幽靈公主森林，和5個小時登上太鼓岩。
在屋久島如果登山累了，還有很多溫泉可以放鬆，特別是最南端的平內海中溫泉，但每天只有海水退潮後才可以泡，這裡沒有更衣室，不准穿泳衣，免費（100日元清洗費）男女混浴。
曾經宮崎駿在屋久島對幽靈森林的靈感，就來源於一片苔蘚頂上的特寫鏡頭，微小的露珠晶瑩剔透閃閃發光。
如此祕境，置身其中彷彿荒島求生，怎麼樣？你想去轉轉嗎？
