What other travelers are saying about Jomonsugi Cedar
It took me 6.5 hours to hike it. It’s not that difficult but not too easy either. If you go I recommend taking a taxi service with a group of people instead of taking the bus . The taxi costed 6k yen from anbo.
We took the bus orginally at 4:40 am and then you need to take another bus at the museum which often had a long queue.
A hike that many may consider to be the most popular on the island. Definitely can be done within 6-8 hours, and without a tour guide. Highly advise starting around 5-6:00 in the morning just to be safe. Tickets for the bus ride to the starting point can be bought at the bottom parking lot. Most of the hike is straightforward, while the last mile and a bit gets a bit steeper and tougher. Bring some snacks and beverages for hydration as there are rest stops a long the way and places to go sit down and eat at the top (please remember to take your trash home!!). Beautiful and breath-taking, rain or shine, an absolute must experience for all.
A challenging hike, depending on your starting point. But it feels like an incredible to make it there. It's a beautiful hike. More amazing than my pictures could capture.
