One of the most entertaining trails in Yakushima!
The course starts from Yakusugi-Land. We trek through the breathtaking ancient cedar forest, and when we get to the peak (1,497m), you will be surprised by a unique giant rock pointing out the sky. The rock called Tenchu-seki (meaning heaven reaching rock) is taller than most buildings you see in the cities. Stand at the bottom of the rock and look it up, it’s amazing!
Also, from the peak, you can enjoy the view of Anbo town and the ocean beyond.
So far, this course is not the first choice for most tourists. Thus, it is not crowded.
If you wish to experience both Yakushima’s ancient forest and mountain climbing, this is it!

For your peace of mind, we strongly recommend that all guests arrange their own travel insurance before your trip to Yakushima.
Your insurance should ideally cover medical expenses, emergency evacuation, and outdoor activities such as hiking or kayaking.
Yakushima’s natural environment is beautiful but sometimes remote. While our tours are operated with safety as our top priority, appropriate insurance helps ensure that you are protected in the unlikely event of illness, injury, or travel disruption.
Many international travelers are already covered through credit card travel insurance or private policies. We recommend confirming your coverage before your trip.
