We went to Kigen-sugi, one of the most representative Yakusugi cedars in Yakushima. Unlike the Jomon cedars, we were able to get close and touch it and feel its size up close. A thin mist hung in the air, and we were able to feel a fantastic space.

　In Yakusugiland, we enjoyed nature for 3 hours with more breaks. Based on yesterday's lecture, we were able to observe and photograph plants with an awareness of how to look at them. We were impressed by the size of the Yakusugi cedars, which we had never seen before, the river flowing vigorously through the granite, and the moss growing on the rocks and soil-buried trees. We were also able to make connections with what we had learned at school as the guides imparted their knowledge to us. It was a precious day that I will never forget.
