Miyanoura at the island’s center. It is also a precious, biodiversity-rich habitat where rare plants quietly thrive.In recent years, these lowland, primeval laurel forests, which are becoming a rarity, have attracted researchers as a rich site of diverse endangered species and a stage for the discovery of new plant life.Follow the moss-covered paths and ancient hokora shrines that preserve echoes of the past, and discover the wildlife that inhabits this lush forest.
