On this page you will find updates to the current information in Yakushima: A Yakumonkey Guide. If you come across any information which has changed or is incorrect, please let me know in the comments section below.
Changes:
1. Changes in the Matsubanda Bus Timetable:
Matsubanda, the company which runs one of the two bus companies on Yakushima has decided to revise their timetable in March 2009. (A month after the publication of my book. Grrrr!)
There are therefore changes to some of the bus timetables at the back of the book, but only the shaded Matsubanda sections not the Yakushima Kostu buses. Thankfully it was only a few of the mountain routes which changed and they can be found here in this link: Matsubanda bus timetable
2. Relocation of Andes hiking supplies store - Andes has moved to the main road coming into Anbo on the left (opposite the gas station).
3. A new coin laundry has opened in Hara next to the gas station.
4. New direct flight route between Yakushima and Osaka
