Let's go see the Jomon Cedar! 3 recommended trekking guide tours to enjoy the World Heritage island of Yakushima!

Yakushima, Kagoshima Prefecture, is registered as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It is a remote island that is very popular with tourists, especially during long holidays. It is located about 60 km south-southwest of Cape Sata, Kagoshima Prefecture, the southernmost point of the mainland, and its area is about seven times the size of the area inside the Yamanote Line. Even before it was registered as a World Heritage Site, botanists and zoologists called Yakushima a "treasure of mankind" and a "unique island." Then, on December 11, 1993, it was officially registered as Japan's first World Heritage Site, along with the Shirakami-Sanchi Mountains. It was recognized as a World Heritage Site because the vegetation and vegetation transitions affected by the altitude, and the ecosystem changes unique to the warm temperate zone, are important for research. In addition, the ecosystem, which includes the Yakusugi cedars, which have a unique landscape, is characterized and evaluated as having great academic value.

[Shirakami-Sanchi, a Natural World Heritage Site] Introducing recommended tour plans for trekking and mountain climbing, including the Juniko and Aoike courses!

Shirakami-Sanchi is a mountainous area of ​​about 130,000 hectares that straddles Akita and Aomori prefectures. It is home to some of the world's largest beech forests, and the area of ​​about 52 hectares has been left almost untouched by human hands and has been left in its natural state. A precious ecosystem where various plants and animals live and grow naturally is preserved, and it was registered as a World Heritage Site (natural heritage) in 1993. There are many attractive spots where you can enjoy the great outdoors, such as Shirakami-dake, which offers a panoramic view of the Shirakami-Sanchi, Kuzureyama, which overlooks Futatsumori and Lake Juniko (Aoike Pond at the trailhead is the most popular of Lake Juniko), Sandan Anmon Falls, and Hibarasawa Valley. From early summer, when the new green leaves shine, to autumn, when the leaves can be enjoyed, the area is crowded with tourists who enjoy hiking and trekking tours on forest roads. In winter, the area that can be entered is limited, but snow hikes on snow-covered trekking courses are popular. For motorcyclists, touring on forest roads that are not too well maintained is also popular. We would like to introduce some recommended plans for the coming season in Shirakami-Sanchi.

If you're looking for an experiential activity on your trip to Amami Oshima, try the Kinsakubaru virgin forest trekking tour!

I would like to try canoeing, kayaking and SUP in the mangroves on Amami Oshima, but trekking seems good too. I want to enjoy the natural green scenery like the classic movie "Princess Mononoke". The other day I was just talking with a friend about Princess Mononoke, and we got really excited about why Ashitaka gave San a necklace-like thing he got from someone who admired him. I'm sure Ashitaka didn't mean any harm, but... I thought. If I were San, I would feel complicated, or rather, I would think that she should cherish it. I would like to talk to someone with a different opinion. Going back to the topic, I would like to go trekking, but I'm afraid that if I go alone I'll panic if I come across a snake or something, so I was looking for a good plan, and I found an attractive course, so I'd like to introduce it to you.

An adventure tour where the memories of the Ogasawara Chichijima war site lie! A journey to learn about the history of war.

Recently, I was researching about diving and sea kayaking that can be experienced on Chichijima Island in the Ogasawara Islands, Tokyo. (As an aside, there is also Hahajima Island.) I learned that there are many remnants of military facilities from the Pacific War left on Chichijima Island, just as they were at the time. Iwo Jima Island, about 280km further south from Chichijima Island, is famous for being the site of a fierce ground battle between the Japanese and US armies, but the only way for ordinary people to get there today is to join a tour (held several times a year) on the Ogasawara-Maru, the only means of transportation.
