Registered as a World Natural Heritage Site, Yakushima is a round-shaped island situated approximately 60 km south from the southern end of Osumi Peninsula in the southern part of Kagoshima prefecture. There are as many as 6 mountain peaks over 1,800m high including the Miyanoura-dake (1,935 m above sea level), the highest mountain in Kyushu, which gives the island its other name -- the 'Alps on the ocean'. Having much rainfall throughout the year, the island is covered with lush green forests which are home to many Yaku cedars. Some cedars live over 1,000 years old and thus creating a mysterious atmosphere. Its pristine coastline and crystal clear waters continue to attract tourists from all over the world.
