Yakushima in Pictures and Sounds: 2/5 Shiratani

Shiratani-Unsuikyo Park is a nature park spanning elevations between 600 an 1100 meters. It offers 30-minute to half-day hikes in the watershed of the Shiratani River. It can be reached by bus or a 30-minute drive from the town of Miyanoura. If you are a strong hiker or looking for a two-day adventure, there is also access to the island's interior trails to Jomon Sugi and Mt. Miyanoura.

This area can see ten meters of rain in a year, and the moss forests fostered by this rain are some of the most beautiful in Yakushima. However, sometimes the trails are closed because of flooding even when it is barely raining in the towns below.
