Journey to Senpiro-no-Taki: A Thousand Hands of Nature

Now we headed to Senpiro-no-Taki, located on the other side of the island. Due to the blockage of Seiburindo, we had to backtrack all the way to reach our destination. As if to encourage us, we were treated to the sight of two Yakushima zaru (Yakushima monkeys) on the way. We felt lucky to have this unexpected wildlife sighting!

Senpiro-no-Taki is a waterfall with a height of approximately 60 meters. Here, a large amount of water flows down a V-shaped valley formed by a huge granite monolith measuring 400 meters by 200 meters. This rock formation appears to be the size of a thousand people's outstretched hands, hence its name.

The sight of the waterfall cascading down this massive rock face is truly impressive!
