Journey deep into the UNESCO World Heritage forest of Yakushima on this full-day guided trek to Jomon Sugi, Japan’s oldest and most revered cedar tree.
Hiking along the historic railway track and mountain trails, you will witness the lush, moss-covered wilderness and iconic landmarks such as Wilson’s Stump with its heart-shaped window to the sky.
