One of its greatest assets is Yakushima, a subtropical island located just off the coast. Taking the ferry to Yakushima is like a portal to another, more primeval, world. The island has been declared a UNESCO Natural Heritage Site and constitutes a unique area of almost completely untouched wilderness. Unsurprisingly, this forest-covered haven is a perfect fit for hiking and outdoor enthusiasts. This active journey takes full advantage of these possibilities, offering guests a combination of mountain and forest trekking. On the second full day on the island guests will complete the ascent of Mount Kuromidake, savouring the amazing views from the top. The next day of hiking through the\u00a0cedar forest is less physically demanding, but the ancient trees \u2013 some dating back thousands of years \u2013 are equally awe-inspiring.<\/p>\n<p>For further information, get in touch with one of our expert travel consultants at <strong><a href=\"mailto:japan@exotravel.com\">japan@exotravel.com<\/a><\/strong> or <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/traveltrade.exotravel.com\/product\/yakushima-outdoor-adventure\/\">view the full itinerary here<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The southernmost of Japan\u2019s main islands, Kyushu, is known for its wondrous natural tapestry of bubbling volcanoes, pristine forests and healing hot springs.
