Yakushima 屋久島 hiking (Princess Mononoke forest) - Exploring Japan with Wageofsins!
The mountains of Yakushima (屋久島), a southern island of Kagoshima (鹿児島県), are home to lush forests thousands of years old. Perhaps most famous as the inspiration for the magical forests in the Ghibli hit anime Princess Mononoke, these trails criss-cross the island, drawing in travelers from around the world. These moss covered paths take several days to complete and are home to wild monkeys and deer. This is just a small sample of an afternoon of hiking we did during a visit in August 2016. To get to Yakushima you can either take a flight straight there, or take the ferry from Kagoshima, which you see at the beginning of this video.
If you have any questions, feel free to ask and I'll do my best to answer them! Thanks for watching.

Yakushima (屋久島) is one of the Ōsumi Islands belonging to Kagoshima Prefecture, Japan. The island, 504.88 km² in area, has a population of 13,178. Access to the island is by hydrofoil ferry (7 or 8 times a day from Kagoshima, depending on the season), slow car ferry (once or twice a day from Kagoshima), or by air to Yakushima Airport (3 to 5 times daily from Kagoshima, once daily from Fukuoka and once daily from Osaka). Administratively, the whole island is the town of Yakushima. The town also serves neighbouring Kuchinoerabujima. The majority of the island is within the borders of the Kirishima-Yaku National Park.
Yakushima's electricity is more than 50% hydroelectric, and surplus power has been used to produce hydrogen gas in an experiment by Kagoshima University. The island has been a test site for Honda's hydrogen fuel cell vehicle research. (There are no hydrogen cars stationed on the island but electric cars are run by the municipality.)
In 1980 an area of 18,958 ha was designated a UNESCO Man and the Biosphere Reserve. In 1993, 10 hectares of wetland at Nagata-hama was designated a Ramsar Site. It is the largest nesting ground for the endangered loggerhead sea turtle in the North Pacific. Yakushima's unique remnant of warm/temperate ancient forest has been a natural World Heritage Site since 1993. In the Wilderness core area (12.19 square kilometres (3,010 acres)) of the World Heritage Site, no record of past tree cutting can be traced. The island is visited by 300,000 tourists every year.
Yakushima has been settled since at least the Jomon period. It is first mentioned in written documents of the Chinese Sui Dynasty of the 6th century, and in the Japanese Shoku Nihongi in an entry dated 702. It formed part of ancient Tane Province. It was often mentioned in the diaries of travellers between Tang Dynasty China and Nara period Japan. During the Edo period, Yakushima was ruled by the Shimazu clan of the Satsuma Domain and was considered part of Ōsumi Province. Following the Meiji restoration, the island has been administered as part of Kagoshima Prefecture.
Yakushima (UNESCO/NHK)
Located in the interior of Yaku Island, at the meeting-point of the palaearctic and oriental biotic regions, Yakushima exhibits a rich flora, with some 1,900 species and subspecies, including ancient specimens of the sugi (Japanese cedar). It also contains a remnant of a warm-temperate ancient forest that is unique in this region.

Japan Vlog: Battleship Island, Gunkanjima
Hey everyone! Today we visit Gunkanjima, which is better known as Battleship Island. The Island is just off the coast from Nagasaki, and was a large coal mining town until the 1970s when the mine closed and the inhabitants moved out. The island was then battered by typhoon, and looks like a set of a dystopic sci-fi game. It's amazing. Thanks so much for watching!

Tatamigaura Rock-Flats Beach - Shimane - 石見畳ヶ浦
Located near Hamada City in Shimane, the Tatamigaura Rock-Flats Beach, also known as Iwami Tatamigaura Beach is a scenic area that was created around 16 million years ago when the seafloor was raised by a powerful earthquake. This beach is also known as Senjojiki or “thousand mats” in Japanese for its size of five hectares and a series of nodule sandstones, fossilized animals and shells.
This video was made in Cooperation with the Shimane Prefecture Tourism Promotion Division. Learn more about Shimane at

Japan Vlog #2 | WHAT WAS I THINKING!?
So many things went wrong, but so many things turned out well.
Hey guys! I recorded this video in the first couple of days after I landed in Japan. Once I left the airport, reality set in, and man, did it set in HARD. Do people even talk about this aspect of traveling by yourself? It may not be fun, but I talk about it here - and how God got me through Day 1.
There's way more footage but I cut it down to just one story for this video. Make sure to follow my blog (link below) for upcoming diary/journal entries I wrote while I was in Japan!!!

Exploring Onsen (Hot Spring) HELL｜Day 90 - Oita
The hells (地獄, jigoku) of Beppu are eight spectacular hot springs for viewing rather than bathing. They are presented to visitors in a rather touristy fashion, which might not appeal to everybody. Six of the hells are located in the Kannawa district and two in the more remote Shibaseki district.
Umi Jigoku
One of the more beautiful hells, the sea hell features a pond of boiling, blue water. In its spacious gardens, there are a few secondary, orange colored hells and a large, clear water pond with lotus flowers whose large leaves are strong enough to carry small children.
Oniishibozu Jigoku
This hell is named after the mud bubbles, which emerge from boiling mud pools and look like the shaven heads of monks. Besides the mud pools, it features a foot bath with clear water. Adjacent to the hell is a public bath with multiple pools that costs an additional 600 yen.
Shiraike Jigoku
True to its name, the white pond hell features a pond of hot, milky water. The pond is surrounded by a nice garden and a small, run-down aquarium that has seen better days.
Kamado Jigoku
The cooking pot hell features several boiling ponds and a flashy demon statue as cook. On the grounds, visitors can drink the hot spring water, enjoy hand and foot baths, inhale the hot spring steam and try various snacks cooked or steamed by the hot spring.
Oniyama Jigoku
A large number of crocodiles are bred and kept on the grounds of the monster mountain hell.
Yama Jigoku
The mountain hell features small ponds of steaming hot water and a run-down zoo with large animals in small cages.
Chinoike Jigoku
The blood pond hell features a pond of hot, red water and a large souvenir shop. It is one of the more photogenic of the eight hells.
Tatsumaki Jigoku
The spout hell features a boiling hot geyser, which erupts every 30-40 minutes for about 6-10 minutes. A stone plate above the geyser hinders it to reach its full height. A short walking trail leads up the forested slope in the back of the hell grounds.

From Mt. Kobandake observatory in the middle of Yodogo trail, you will see the huge rock at the summit of Mt. Kobandake.
The rock is nicknamed Tofu Rock because its edges are as sharp as if it were cut with a cooking knife.
