Kigen Cedar" said to be 3,000 years old

Kigen cedar (Cryptomeria japonica D. D.)One of the representative forests of YakushimaKigen-sugi is a Japanese cedar that grows naturally along the roadway. While Wilson's stumps and Jomon cedars can only be seen by hikers, Kigen cedars grow wild along the roadway and can be seen without hiking.

Since it is possible to see it without climbing the mountain, it has become a popular spot for many tourists.

Kigen cedars are considered to be rich in epiphytes, and various types of epiphytes, including cypress, grow on Kigen cedars.

It was a fresh experience for me to walk through the forest with my children. It was also good to see the expressions on their faces, which they do not usually show, as we naturally struck up a conversation.

We went to Yakushima for a long-awaited trip. We had planned to see the Jomon Cedars, but we were too old (154 years old combined) and our bodies were not up to the challenge, so we decided to join a trekking tour to Yakusugi Land and Kigen Cedars. The tour started slowly in the morning and took about 3 hours for the entire 50-minute trek. Our guide picked us up at our accommodation and drove us to the trailhead for about 40 minutes, where we were met by the Sal family. We went deeper and deeper into the forest, looking around in all directions in the sunlight and occasional light rain, realizing that we were in the forests of Yakushima. Since it was not the time of year when many climbers were coming, we were able to enjoy the trekking tour while listening to the guide's explanations in a slow and leisurely manner. There were times when it rained heavily in the latter half of the tour, but overall we were very satisfied with the tour, with the guide's excellent guidance and knowledgeable explanations, and the enjoyable lunch. The tour was a very satisfying experience, and we were very glad that we came on this trekking tour.
