Shiratani Unsuikyo is a lush, green nature park containing a number of the island's ancient cedars.

The green mossy boulders and carelessly wandering deer are enough to stimulate anyone's imagination. Next, you will be visiting the largest waterfall on the island - the magnificent Ohko-no-Taki Waterfall with its 88-metre-high spray. An enormous volume of water drops down from two different streams, and it is truly a sight to behold.

This is another nature park populated by many Yakushima cedars.
