Join me on another adventure as I set off from Kagoshima, hopping on a ferry and making my way to the enchanting island of Yakushima. After sorting out a booking mix-up, despite the rain, I couldn’t resist exploring the area around the guesthouse.
The next day, the skies cleared up and I caught the 8 am bus to Shiratani, to hike the breathtaking beauty of a UNESCO World Heritage site unlike any other. The moss-covered forest awaited. If you’re up for a bit of rain, a lot of green, and an adventure through one of Japan's best hidden gems, then come along!
