Yakushima travel guide

Japan · Top sights · trending spots

Yakushima is a granite dome in the sea south of Kyushu, covered in cedar and rain — the island jokes about thirty-five days of it a month. Its forest became one of Japan's first World Heritage sites in 1993.

Jōmon Sugi, the oldest cedar, is a ten-hour round walk on an old logging railway. Shiratani Unsuikyo, all moss and stream, is the wood that Princess Mononoke was drawn from. Loggerhead turtles nest on the northern beaches in summer.

Ranked by Wikipedia language editions — proven fame.

  1. 1

    Yakushima National Park

    A national park covering the mountainous interior of Yakushima and part of the mainland coast. The island's cedars grow at altitudes and ages found nowhere else — Jomon Sugi is dated at anywhere from two to seven thousand years — and the forest is World Heritage.
