Mount Aiko

愛子岳

Yakushima, Kagoshima · Elevation 1,235 m

Mount Aiko (Aiko-dake) is a 1,235 m peak in the northeastern part of Yakushima Town, Kagoshima Prefecture, set within Yakushima National Park and the island's UNESCO World Natural Heritage area. Its sharp pyramid silhouette is the first mountain visible across the runway from Yakushima Airport, and the trail climbs roughly 1,058 m of elevation almost continuously from a trailhead near the coast, finishing with rope-aided granite scrambles just below the summit. As one of the island's principal "front-range" peaks, it is selected for the "100 Famous Mountains of Kyushu" and offers a striking vegetation transition from lowland evergreen broadleaf forest into mixed conifer–broadleaf woodland over a short distance.
