Read as “Yaku Jinja.” The base for the mountain pilgrimages of Yakushima.
Read as Yaku Jinja. The starting point for the mountain pilgrimages of Yakushima.
Estimated at between 2,000 and 7,000 years old. It lies at the end of a ten-hour round trip on foot.
Primeval forest under a covering of moss. The source of the water of Yakushima.
Vegetation stacked from subtropical to subarctic by altitude alone; even the logged stumps have grown second trees.
Only stumps left by Edo-period logging may be used; no living tree is cut, and the timber is three centuries old before it starts.
