Yakushima

This past weekend was a trip to Yakushima (pics to come a bit later).

Our party of seven left Sasebo at Saturday, 130am. 3.5 hours and a 6700 yen toll later, we reached Kagoshima. 4 hours on a ferry later, we reached Yakushima. The island was filled with lush forests, beautiful mountain hike trails, and many beach-side onsen, which was best used at night under the stars.
Yakushima has the forest that the famous Studio Ghibli film Spirited Away was based off of. Unfortunately we didn't visit it. Yakushima also houses the oldest tree in Japan, if not the world. Unfortunately, we didn't visit that either. What does that mean?
2 days is not enough to fully enjoy Yakushima. I'd say 4 days at the minimum.
What else am I trying to say? Another visit will be happening in the future.

In the meantime, it's time to prepare for Mt. Fuji this coming weekend. Oh I love being fat with no stamina. =P
