[4K] Yakushima, Kagoshima Japan🇯🇵 Walking Tour – sankara hotel &spa Yakushima – (サンカラホテル&スパ/屋久島/鹿児島)

Hello friends!
Welcome to my walking tour in Japan! I recorded this 4k video in Yakushima, Kagoshima in Kyushu, Japan on April 2021. Let me introduce a little bit about Yakushima.

Yakushima is an island that contains the remains of a warm-temperate ancient forest and is the last ecosystem dominated by the Japanese cedar.

There are high peaks up to 2000m, all covered in dense forest. Together they form a superb scenic setting.

The Japanese cedar (Cryptomeria japonica) or Yakusugi is endemic to the island. It is a very large evergreen tree that can reach up to 70m. Some of the trees are thousands years old. The sacred values of the ancient forests of Yakusugi are also recognized.

Yakushima is Japan’s wettest place, and precipitation in Yakushima is one of the world’s highest at 4,000 to 10,000 mm. It also is the southernmost place in Japan where there is snow in the mountains.
