Yakushima is a subtropical island south of Kyushu covered by huge cedar forests that contains some of Japan's oldest living trees some of which are thousands of years old. Today the forests have recovered past logging days and now enjoys the protection of being a national park, while other areas are World Heritage Sites. Most visitors come here to hike through the forests and see the ancient cedar trees. As a subtropical island Yakushima attracts a lot of rainfall around the year with some rain almost daily especially in the mountainous interior.
