Level 1Sight-Seeing Trails to Experience the Natural Environment of the Mountains

1-2Yakusugi Land (30 min. course)

Commonly referred to as the '30-minute course', it is an easy way to get in touch with Yakushima's natural environment. The route includes wooden and stone-paved walkways, and it is therefore possible to walk in relatively light clothing. It provides a glimpse of how forestry used to be, including stump renewal.
