• Yakushima is famous for its Yakusugi cedar trees that have lived for thousands of years, and the green moss forests that appear in Princess Mononoke, but the forest that led to Yakushima's World Heritage status is a forest made up mainly of evergreen broadleaf trees known as the evergreen broadleaf forest.The forest on the western side of the island, known as the Western Forest Road, is said to be the largest remaining evergreen broadleaf forest in the Northern Hemisphere.
• World Heritage Forest
• It is the only place on the island where the entire forest, all the way to the coast, is designated as a World Heritage Site, and once you step into the forest, you will find yourself in a paradise of wild monkeys and deer, which are now rarely seen in Japan. Many tourists just drive through, but that's a bit of a waste! On Prana's tours, you get out of the car and enjoy the forest on foot, walking slowly through the forest on the Western Forest Road.
• The famous banyan tree
• A clear stream flows continuously beside the trail, and you can encounter a large, fortress-like banyan tree, said to be the largest on Yakushima. Why not immerse yourself in the forest of this western forest path, which you cannot walk on without a guide? You can enjoy the quiet forest with few people around.
• A picturesque stream
• This is a relaxing course where you can stretch your legs out to the sea with its spectacular views, and if the weather is nice, you can dip your feet in the clear stream or take a nap listening to the murmuring of the stream.
