Highlights
- Stand under the magnificent 40m granite tower of Tenchuseki at the summit.
- Great views of the Anbo Village and Tanegashima Island across the straits.
- The early & later section of this hike goes through the Yakusugi Land forest with giant cryptomeria trees, as well as massive fir and hemlocks. Some wonderful river crossings.
- Witness the vegetation change as we enter the sub-alpine region of the island and the rhododendrons begin to appear.
