The Shiratani Unsuikyo Ravine in Yakushima was truly like a world from Studio Ghibli!

The Shiratani Unsuikyo Ravine in Yakushima is the setting for a famous Studio Ghibli animated film✨ I started my hike before dawn and waited for the sunrise in Shiratani Unsuikyo Ravine! The forest gradually regained its brightness, creating a truly magical atmosphere. I couldn't help but marvel at the fact that such a world exists in Japan🥹 By the way, it takes 90 minutes to reach the Mossy Forest from the trailhead and 2 hours to reach Taiko Rock🥾 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Name: Shiratani Unsuikyo Ravine Address: Miyanoura, Yakushima Town, Kumage District, Kagoshima Prefecture Access: About 30 minutes by bus from Miyanoura Port to the Shiratani Unsuikyo Ravine trailhead Closed: Open year-round - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
