白谷雲水峡－縄文杉－新高塚小屋
先月友達と宮之浦岳を登りに行った。台風の次の日で晴れた一日で景色も奇麗に見えた。朝宮浦からバスに乗って９時頃白谷雲水峡に着いた。
白谷雲水峡から辻峠までは写真でよく見る屋久島らしい苔の森や滝などを通って楽しめる道。辻峠から太鼓岩まで登って、少し休んでからさらに歩いて、トロッコ道にでる。この道は楽なのだけど、とても長く感じる。後から地図を確認したら近道があるみたい。
そこから、ウィルソン株で一休みして、高塚小屋にでる。この小屋は新しく建て直されてていて、新高塚小屋より新しいみたい。縄文杉からさらに登って新高塚小屋でテントを張った。小屋は混雑していたみたい。
白谷雲水峡と、トロッコ道から縄文杉まではゴールデンウィーク後の平日だったのに、かなりの人通りでびっくり。できるだけ、休日は避けたほうが楽しめると思う。
Shiratani Unsuikyo - Jomon-sugi - Shin-takatsuka Hut
A friend and I went to Yakushima to go hiking up Mt. Miyanoura last month. It was a day after the typhoon had passed so we were lucky to have clear skies. We caught the bus from Miyanoura to Shiratani Unsuikyo. It's a thirty minute bus ride from the town and gets us there at around nine o'clock.It's a pleasant hike from Shiratani Unsuikyo to Tsujitoge. Going through the moss forests. At Tsuji toge, we went up to Taiko Iwa where we got a magnificent view. After that we got to the railroad tracks which goes on forever. Apparently there is a shortcut going over the hill instead of following the rail tracks all around.
After a mini break at Wilson stump and a long hike uphill, we got to Jomon-sugi. There were quite a lot of people on the trail even though it was a weekday after Golden Week holidays. So I would avoid weekends and holidays as much as possible. Old Takatsuka hut just by Jomon-sugi has now actually been rebuilt so it is newer than Shin-takatsuka hut.
We got to Shin-takatsuka around four thirty and camped there to make the second day of our hike more manageable.
