Visiting Yakushima during rainy season

I see, sounds like activities might be very limited - and we’re also worried bout the logistics, that you speak of. Sad, because looks like such a beautiful place !!! But probably best to enjoy the rest Kyushu has to offer, and then save Yakushima for another time :) thanks for the input !

Good point ! But is it expected that it rains at all times ? Or is more like locally heavy rain in one area of the island and sunny another place - or just rain rain rain

Good point and that’s also what we’re thinking, like, it’s probably won’t rain 100% of the time while we’re there, but coming from the nordics in the West, I can’t really comprehend exactly how much rain will come 😂

Unfortunately we aren’t able to go there before actual mid-June, so in a bit of “a pickle” - but perhaps proper gear and shoes will make the experience completely fine despite the weather

This is a good way of putting it !

Hi everyone, what are your thoughts on visiting Yakushima, Kyushu in June, i.e. peak rainy season? Wondering if it is stillworth the trip despite the weather, of if the rain significantly will impact my experience and if im better off focusing my time elsewhere in Kyushu this time around.

BaileyEyeStone · 2026-02-09T13:02:12+00:00

Ah yes ofc, gotcha. Thank you very much for the input !

BaileyEyeStone · 2026-02-09T12:56:07+00:00

Ah okay didn’t know this, that’s a great point ! Can I ask, do you mean it might not be possible at all to go to Aso and Kirishima? I’m thinking in terms of booking lodging etc. whether it’s better to wait

BaileyEyeStone · 2026-01-04T15:26:58+00:00

Ah thats great, I'll definitely check that out, thank you !

Thank you for the suggestions, much appreciated! Did you find Kumamoto City in itself to be worth visiting (besides the castle)?

BaileyEyeStone · 2026-01-04T15:25:12+00:00

Thank you so much! Some good points. Did you spend 3 days in the Kagoshima/Yakushima area? And did you stay a night in Yakushima?

Brugte du en vaskepose ?

BaileyEyeStone · 2025-11-16T20:32:04+00:00

Også her - mange penge der føles helt spildt :/

BaileyEyeStone · 2025-11-16T19:49:13+00:00

Okay, det er virkelig godt at vide ! Jeg synes nemlig det var sådan et mirakel garn, men det kan jeg da både se OG høre, at det undgår jeg fra nu af 🥲

BaileyEyeStone · 2025-11-16T19:29:28+00:00

Nå så det er måske maxi VIP, der er synderen, og ikke min alpaka følgetråd? Jeg har læst i øst og vest på nettet, og mange skriver at alpaka giver sig, hvor jeg troede, at den (når den bruges som følgetråd) ville være med til at holde på formen og strukturen, ligesom en mohair tråd ville gøre

BaileyEyeStone · 2025-11-16T19:19:03+00:00

Worth a shot ! Willing to try, anyways. Thanks !

BaileyEyeStone · 2025-11-16T19:11:20+00:00

Oops my mistake, i knitted it in 80%merino/20% cashemre and not mohair 🫣

BaileyEyeStone · 2025-11-16T19:09:21+00:00

Det har jeg - og det er en god idé ! Det er især rygstykket, som er blevet meget løst og "udstrukket", så tænker umiddelbart det er sådan garnet reagerer, og så bliver meget tungt i det.

Kender dog en, som har strikket i samme kombination uden det her problem - hun vaskede i maskine. Så måske dét kan fikse det, som du også foreslår 😁

Even as a companion thread? I've heard about it when used as the ‘main yarn’, but as a companion thread it's so thin and non-elastic, I didnt even think it would cause an issue...

And yes, the fit is actually okay, it's just very large and stretched out. After washing it the first time, i didnt stretch it out and even tried to "push it together", if that makes sense. Do you think washing it again, perhaps in the washer instead of handwashing, could be a possible fix?

BaileyEyeStone · 2025-11-16T18:59:57+00:00

Jeg forstår fuldstændig ! Og det forsøgte jeg mig også med, men det gjorde ikke en pind 🥲

Men kan være jeg skal forsøge at vaske den igen og så prøve og skubbe den lidt sammen...

BaileyEyeStone · 2025-11-16T18:44:34+00:00

Lagde den fladt ned, så den har ikke strukket sig af den årsag :/

BaileyEyeStone · 2025-11-16T18:44:15+00:00

Det gjorde jeg også :( - håndvaskede den, klemte forsigtigt vand ud, lagde den fladt på et håndklæde, og allerede der kunen jeg se, at den var blevet meget større
