| Yakushima is one of the subtropical islands of the Ōsumi archipelago, located off the southern coast of Kyushu and part of Kagoshima Prefecture. The island is covered in a vast cedar forest, home to some of Japan's oldest trees. Trees over 1,000 years old are affectionately called yakusugi, with the oldest possibly over 7,000 years old. | |
