Giant Tanada Stones

These huge boulders located just above Moriyama Shrine are said to have been a landmark for the defeated Taira warriors who first landed on Yakushima on this very shore in the early thirteenth century and stayed, taking refuge in Yoshida’s mountains. Residents today look on these stones not only as a source of power for their having withstood the tests of time, but also as a symbol of peace. Studded with potassium-feldspar crystals, split by erosion and weathering, and home to tiny seedlings of trees and plants that draw on the water in their crevices, the stones are a living record of the history of Yakushima itself.

梯田遺跡之巨石群

登上森山神社，巨石群隨即展現在眼前。13世紀初期，平家落人（指源平合戰後，隱遁於偏僻之地的平家戰敗者）漂流至屋久島，並作為首批登陸者定居在這片沙灘。相傳，平家落人在吉田的山岳地帶藏身時，正是以巨石群為記號。在悠悠歲月中，巨石群不曾屈服於時間的摧殘。因此，當地居民不僅把巨石視為力量之源，更奉為和平的象徵。表面鑲嵌著正長石結晶的花崗岩上，因水侵風蝕而產生裂紋。樹木及植被汲取裂紋中的積水，抽枝散葉，茁壯生長。正是這群巨石記錄了屋久島生機勃勃、歷久彌新的滄桑歷史。
