Located off Kyushu’s southern coast, Yakushima is an island that has become a popular destination for travelers who love the outdoors and being in the midst of nature. Yakushima is extensively covered by a beautiful cedar forest called Yakusugi Forest, which is also home to some of the oldest living trees in Japan. There are trees here that are more than 1000 years old. It has even been speculated that the oldest of the trees may be 7000 years old.
Although Yakushima has been logged quite all throughout Japan’s history for use in making cedar shingles during the Edo period, it has survived this and has now become a UNESCO World Natural Heritage Site.
Nature lovers will have fun hiking and camping in the area while communing with the towering trees.
