Yakushima is Japan's mystical primeval forest island — a UNESCO World Heritage site south of Kyushu that inspired director Hayao Miyazaki for 'Princess Mononoke.' The island is home to Japan's oldest trees, the Jōmon Sugi cedar (over 2,000 years old), in a moss-covered, misty forest of otherworldly beauty. Yakushima is one of the rainiest places in the world, which allows for the lush, almost prehistoric-looking vegetation.
What are the highlights of Yakushima?
The oldest cedar in Japan (2,170-7,200 years old) can be reached on a challenging 10-hour hike through the primeval forest.
The 'Mononoke Forest' with moss-covered trees and mystical fog — the real inspiration for the Ghibli film.
The 88m high waterfall is the largest on the island and particularly spectacular after rain.
From May to August, sea turtles come to lay their eggs on the beaches — guided observation tours available.
