Welcome to Yakushima

  

  1.  

 

                                                                         I moved to Yakushima from Tokyo in 2007, almost 9 years ago. 

                                                                Yakushima is a very unique island filled with natural beauty 

                                                                  such as Yaku Cedar trees, waterfalls and crystal-clear water. 

                                                               I have been blessed to live surrounded by a richness of nature

                                                                                                       that invigorates me.

 

                      Yakushima (屋久島) is an almost circular island having a circumference of 132km and

 is l                       is located approximately 60 km SSW of Cape Sata on the Osumi Peninsula of Kagoshima Prefecture.

It ha                     It is an area of approximately 505 km2, and is mountainous. Mt.Miyanoura-dake (1,936 m)

and                      Mt. Nagata-dake (1,886 m), said to be the highest peaks in Kyushu, stand at the center of the island and

are                       surrounded by mountains towering over 1,800 m above sea level.

One                     The prefectural road encompasses the island, and it takes roughly 3 hours to drive around.

                            The climate along the coastal area of the island is subtropical.
                                                     Transportation within the island is by taxi and bus,

                                                        with buses coming around once every hour.

                                       A part of the road on the western side of the island is so narrow

  a                            and has so many twists and turns that local buses do not operate there.
