Top 5 Things to do Good for Big Groups in Kumage-gun Yakushima-cho, Kyushu-Okinawa
Seize the beautiful day on the Osumi Island of Yakushima-cho, covered in gorgeous and dense forest that’s said to have inspired the classic anime film Princess Mononoke. Frolic with native deer, red-bottomed monkeys and migratory sea turtles (as much as you can frolic with a turtle, anyway), while you breathe in the sweet scent of ancient Japanese cedar. Yakushima’s unique eco-system is simultaneously subtropical and subarctic, an environmental anomaly that only enhances the unique and special properties of the island.

Truly, green, magical place, where I was able to see small macaques and native yakushika deer in a verdant green moss forest.
