Yoshida

Ties are close in the tiny township of Yoshida, a community of some 90 households on the north-northwest coast of Yakushima. Squid and mackerel are this township’s two main marine products, while ponkan tangerines, tankan oranges, kumquats, and guava, as well as root crops such as white turmeric (zedoary), taro, and yams, are cultivated on steep slopes that ascend straight from the sea. Mt. Yoshida, part of the range of lower summits along Yakushima’s perimeter, rises to 1,165 meters and commands excellent views of the surrounding waters. Indeed, its geography made Yoshida an advantageous base of operations for the Taira clan after its 1185 defeat in an epic battle for control of Japan. Now, as then, the mountain is venerated as the dwelling place of Amaterasu Omikami, the supreme deity in the Shinto cosmology. Scenic Yoshida is also known for its huge granite boulders––photogenic remnants of the powerful geologic forces that shaped Yakushima 14 million years ago. A visit to them on a clear day in the late afternoon affords the added pleasure of a gorgeous sunset.

吉田聚落

吉田聚落位於屋久島的西北岸偏北。村落小巧，僅有約80戶居民，鄰里間關係和睦，感情深厚。烏賊和青花魚為當地兩大海產，而陸地特產則有椪柑、桶柑等柑橘類，更有莪朮（別稱蓬莪茂、紫薑黃）、芋頭、番薯等根莖類作物，栽培於延伸至大海的陡峭斜坡上。屋久島的外圍由低矮的山陵構成，而吉田岳正是其中一座。吉田岳海拔1165公尺，是眺望壯美海景的絕佳之地。1185年，在爭霸天下之戰中落敗的平家，看中了吉田的地理優勢，並將其選為據點，加以活用。古往今來，風光明媚的吉田聚落始終作為神道神話之主神——天照大御神的居所，因此備受尊崇。聚落中聞名遐邇的巨大花崗岩，是1400萬年前造就屋久島磅礴地質力量的遺跡，不妨在此拍照留念。如果天氣晴朗，在黃昏时分造訪「東海展望所」可謂優選，不僅能觀賞徐徐沉入海面的輝煌落日，更可一覽硫磺島（鬼界島）、黑島、口永良部島的絕美之景。風光無限，樂趣無窮，千萬不能錯過。
