A possible, beautiful itinerary for you

Live Forces
Arrival in Kagoshima. From the shores you can see Sakurajima, an active volcano that is fuming when you arrive. It looks peaceful for the moment but it transmits a foreboding sense of the power of nature. You are spirited away to Yakushima on a hydrofoil.
Forests of Wonder
Yakushima is covered in pristine forests. Some of the trees are thousands of years old. It is a place of magic. Troops of macaques come in and out of the picture, as they are free to roam. You take a trail that calls for your attention, and with every bend you sense you are about to meet some mythical princess just around the corner.
