Kusugawa Trail, located in the northeastern part of Yakushima, is a very popular nature trekking route where even beginners and foreign hikers can safely and easily feel the breath of the primeval forest, utilizing an old historical road opened by islanders in the Edo period for life and transport of Yakusugi cedar. The landscape where old stone pavements covered with beautiful moss, giant tree roots like thick wooden beams, and clear streams harmonize invites you to a fantasy world as if you had slipped through time the moment you step in. This beautiful trail leading to Shiratani Unsuikyo is filled with silence that has completely escaped the noise of the city, and it is a place where you can be deeply healed by the rich vitality of the earth while listening to the pleasant murmur of water.
