What other travelers are saying about Seibu Rindo Forest Path
This road has fantastic views and there is a high chance to see the wild deers and monkeys. It is, however, a very long narrow road, with many curves. You need to be careful and have patience while driving, and to be alert for coming cars, animals and sharp turns.
The road on the west side of Yakushima island is crossing the wild life park.
You'll see the deer and the monkeys without hiking.
Great road trip to do. Just be careful the road is really narrow.
You will see monkeys and deer guaranteed. We went in the mid afternoon and saw over 30 monkeys and 10 deer. Drive slowly and try not to make noises near them to get the best photos. If you are driving during the summer or golden week, you must go counterclockwise. The road is closed from 17:00 to 7:00 and during heavy rain.
What a beautiful road to visit in Yakushima! So peaceful and you really do get to see monkeys & deer. Definitely rent a car and drive around this area if you can!
Felt like a safari, we saw so many monkeys and just a few deers - look carefully, they blend in the background not like the monkeys who take up the whole roads 😂🐒
In November 2023, a part of the road was closed (like at the middle so you can access and see animals from south or north)
