The 10 Best Things to do in Kumage-gun Yakushima-cho, Kyushu-Okinawa
Seize the beautiful day on the Osumi Island of Yakushima-cho, covered in gorgeous and dense forest that’s said to have inspired the classic anime film Princess Mononoke. Frolic with native deer, red-bottomed monkeys and migratory sea turtles (as much as you can frolic with a turtle, anyway), while you breathe in the sweet scent of ancient Japanese cedar. Yakushima’s unique eco-system is simultaneously subtropical and subarctic, an environmental anomaly that only enhances the unique and special properties of the island.

Beautiful cedar forests with some nice, well maintained trails, and a few trees to be found (with relatively easy access) that are over 2000 years old. Stunning all around, with trees and waterfalls and crystal clear streams.

Truly, green, magical place, where I was able to see small macaques and native yakushika deer in a verdant green moss forest.

Yakushima Island and Kuchinoerabujima Island in the Yakushima National Park are islands situated in the rich sea area with the Kuroshio Current. Although these two islands are only 12 km apart, they were formed by totally different mountain formation processes. This results in radically different landscapes. The topography of Yakushima Island is steep with Kyushu’s highest mountains standing tall. It has a distinctive landscape with natural forests of giant trees such as ancient Japanese cedar trees of over 1,000 years old. is “natural beauty” has been recognized as a remarkable universal value of the UNESCO World Heritage Site. Meanwhile, Kuchinoerabujima Island is the largest active volcanic island among the Satsunan Islands. The eastern part of the island reveals a volcanic landscape, and natural coastal scenery remains in the coastal area including sea cliffs and caves formed by rough waves.
