I think we left our little cabin thing at like 6 or 7am, and reached the peak at lunch time. Then we were back down by 3pm I believe... but check elsewhere for specifics! Yakushima is fabulous!

We will go to Yakushima in two weeks and stay there for 3 nights. We don't have any camping equipment...do you think you can make it to the peak in a one-day hike? I'm so excited to go there...spent three months in Tokyo! It's time for some nature! Hey!

Now I really want to go there myself! :) You've made some great pictures, it really feels like the woods in Mononoke Hime. Amazing! Thank you for sharing this experience.

My trip to Yakushima is still probably my favorite trip in Japan. From Osaka or Tokyo, I recommend taking the overnight ferry to Kagoshima and staying a night in Ibusuki at Kagoshima at a hotel next to Kagoshima bay, before going to Yakushima.
