Photographic Journey Through Yakushima

Located. in Kyushu, the island is home to many ocean side onsen

Yakushima`s deer - known as Yakushika are a little shier than their friends on the mainland

but cannot say the same for the many monkeys calling Yakushima home - they will often hike alongside you

The island is also home to Japan`s oldest tree- Jomon Sugi estimated to be around 2000-7000 years old

The hiking trails of Yakushima have a magical aura where the light feels otherworldly

Locals say that it rains 35 days a month in Yakushima - rewarding the visitors with endless greenery

a photographers dream where mountains complement the ocean

Hope you someday will visit Yakushima and experience it all with your own eyes
