Seibu Rindo Forest

Into the primeval forest, where time flows to Yakushima’s rhythm.
Winding through the Natural World Heritage site on Yakushima’s western side, the Seibu Rindo Forest Path is a remote haven of wildlife and primeval forest, far removed from human habitation.From the mystical Chinese banyan trees to lush bird’s nest ferns that evoke a tropical jungle, find yourself surrounded by thriving subtropical vegetation—an immersive experience that lets you feel the richness of Yakushima’s ecosystem with every breath.Gentle Yakushima macaques sit quietly, while Yaku sika deer stroll leisurely with their young. This is a place where humans and wildlife meet not as threats, but as peaceful neighbors.In the mysterious, serene stillness where time seems to slow, one thing becomes clear. Here, humans are merely visitors.
