HOUYHNHNM's & Salomon's summer play tour ♡ vol.4 Yakushima

Salomon is a French-born outdoor brand that covers a wide range of activities including trail running and skiing. In recent years, Salomon has become popular in the fashion and lifestyle scenes, but the true value of its superior functionality can only be realized when used in the field. This project is about using Salomon's shoes and gear to enjoy the summer to the fullest. The title of this project is "HOUYHNHNM's x Salomon's Hands-on Summer Fun Tour. For the fourth installment, we traveled to the World Natural Heritage island of Yakushima with Yuuki Mihara, a TV personality who loves running and mountain climbing!

Shoes and gear can be procured & rented locally!

This time we stayed at THE HOTEL YAKUSHIMA OCEAN & FOREST in Yakushima. It is a stylish hotel built on top of a hill in the Miyanoura district.

On the first floor, there is a "Salomon" store and rental station. In addition to purchasing the latest gear from Salomon, visitors can also rent climbing shoes and other mountaineering gear.

It is only 15 minutes from the airport by car and 20 minutes from the trailhead of Shiratani-unsui Gorge. We recommend this hotel as a base for outdoor activities. If you have a chance to visit Yakushima, please try this hotel.
