Yakushima Forest was listed in the UNESCO WHS in 1993. The forest which can be found in almost round small island of Yaku, is of rich flora. In its greenery can be found sugi, an ancient specie of Japanese cedar.

ReplyDeleteMaria,
ReplyDeleteI love walking through forests, with the trees towering above me. It's amazing to think some trees are so old, they've been on the earth for hundreds of years. Could it be thousands of years?
Stopping in to say 'hi' from the A-Z Challenge!

What a wonderful place to visit. I love forests. There is so much about Japan (and all the world) that I still don't know much about.

How old are the cedars? The Bible mentions the "Cedars of Lebanon." I think Cedars can be very old, I have always loved trees best, more than flowers.
