Yakushima Island
My 100 Best Moments in Japan - 3/100hiking paradise yakushima
"Stunning panoramic views at every corner make this remote island of Yakushima my number-one hiking destination in Japan. I had the chance to visit there one of the oldest trees in Japan called Jomon Sugi. The whole hiking tour with a guide took me 10 exhausting but fulfilling hours through beautiful nature. The gigantic ancient cedar trees (yaku-sugi) along the way are true wonders of nature. Once I arrived at my destination I realised that to protect the Jomon Sugi tree you could not get closer than 15m. But even from the distance it was worth the sweat:)"
