Shiratani Unsui Gorge

Baigu Yunshui Gorge is a lush forest park! There are a lot of cedars growing, old and many other types! You can visit here on foot, the plank road built in the Edo era, and it has been used to this day!

Baigu Yunshui Gorge is very beautiful. The whole trip took the 3-year-old children and only took the most preliminary trip. I experienced the canyon, creek, moss forest... as if the Miyazaki comic world was on display. It is highly recommended that it is a bit tired to hike. It is recommended to be led by a guide and introduced along the way.

Ticket 500 yen forest maintenance fee, provide maps in Chinese, English and Japanese, take the Great Ring Road for about 4-5 hours, after the 6th scenic spot for the mountain road (compared with the original ecology), the forest often rains, the best waterproof clothing. Baigu Yunshui Gorge is a valley of Baigu River, a tributary of Miyagi Puchuan, which flows in the north of Ujiu Island. Because of the abundant rainfall in this area, the huge rocks such as Taiguyan, formed by the erosion of granite, spread out continuously and covered with dense primary forest. Native forests have 3,000-year-old "Miyagi" trees that make the people of Kagoshima very proud. At the same time, we can also see the traces of Chinese fir trees being cut down in various places. It is said that the big forest saved by the hero of Hayao Miyazaki "Princess Phantom" is the Baigu Yunshui Gorge Forest on Ikujima Island.

Steve, a guide from England, arrived at the hotel at 7:30 a.m. to pick us up for a day's hike at the White Valley Cloud Canyon. It is forbidden for tourists to visit areas that are truly part of the world's natural heritage. Our hiking area was also massively cut down at the end of the 19th century and then restored. The mossy forests of the inky green areas are said to be the inspiration of Hayao Miyazaki. The famous one on the mountain is the Millennium Fir Tree. It is often seen that giant dead fir trees grow strong new trunks, or become huge holes to look up to the blue sky. The seven-hour hike was on a rugged path spontaneously paved with rocks, boards and even roots. Some sections were steep and finally climbed to a 1060m bird's-eye view of the valley. The children also persevered. Japanese courtesy and environmental protection are the deepest feelings. Everyone will nod and say hello with a smile as they pass by. There is no dustbin or cleaner along the way. There is no rubbish on the ground. Everyone consciously takes the rubbish down the hill.
