Absolutely stunning place with not too many visitors. I wish we spent more time there just soaking in the sheer beauty and tranquility there. I took a dip in those emerald green waters, cool and healing. The ferns and trees, while not Shiratani Unsui Gorge, I am grateful that it wasn't either. Picnic there (make sure to clean it up afterwards), take a nap, take a dip, and enjoy!
Beautiful and no one around, but we didn’t get far up the trail before a large male monkey spotted us. He started following us and was calling out to other monkeys we could hear in the forest. We decided to get out of there instead of risking it.
River with a lot of big rocks all over the water. Rocks at the river sides are covered by beautiful mosses. Everything just match perfectly in the nature. Absolutely worth to pay a visit there. Traffic is easy although the road is a bit narrow.
Nice place to relax and get a taste for the moss to come when travelling deeper into Yakushima!
The crystal clear water in the basin is rather impressive!
