Yakushima Island was the first island in Japan to be registered as a World Natural Heritage site. It is also called the "Alps of the Sea" because of its mountainous region of 1,800-meter-high mountains.
The magnificent nature, where one can feel the breath of primitive times, and the wide variety of flora and fauna that enjoy life there are "treasures of mankind" that should be handed down to future generations. Yakushima Island is said to be a microcosm of the climate of the whole of Japan, so you will always be able to see new faces whenever you visit.
You can visit Yakushima on a day trip, but if possible, please stay overnight and take the time to appreciate the changing face of Yakushima over time.
