Trekking through moss-covered ancient forests at Shiratani Unsuikyo, the model for the forest in Princess Mononoke
Shiratani Unsuikyo is a representative trekking spot of Yakushima and is also known as the model for the forest in the film 'Princess Mononoke.' The approximately 3-5 hour course, walking through moss-covered fantastical evergreen broadleaf forests and giant Yakushima cedar forests, is like stepping into an ancient world. The view from Moss Forest (Taiko Rock Course) is breathtaking, allowing you to fully experience Yakushima's pristine nature.
