Bus in Yakushima
A highway runs around the island's coast. Buses travel most of this outer ring around once an hour from 07:00 to 18:00, taking in the airport, the two major ports, the beaches and hot springs.
There are also infrequent buses to the entrances of the hiking trails in the island's interior: twice daily to the Arakawa trail (Jomon sugi) and Yakusugiland, and four times daily to Shiratani Unsuikyo.
The bus times from Miyanoura port are 08:00, 08:20, 10:00, 11:20, 13:00, 13:30, 15:30, and returns from Shiratani Unsuikyo are at 09:00, 09:30, 11:00, 12:00, 14:10, 16:00, 16:10 (as of May 2009). Fares are determined by the distance traveled and are not cheap ? for example, the Miyanoura?Arakawa trail head is 1,400 yen one way.
