I'm visiting Yakushima, Japan, from July 10 to July 22, 2025, for a solo retreat to reconnect with nature. Known for its ancient cedar forests and pristine natural beauty, Yakushima offers a serene escape from bustling city life. This 13-day trip will allow me to immerse myself in the island's lush landscapes and unique wildlife. As I haven't booked a hotel yet, I'll be exploring local guesthouses or traditional inns to truly experience the island's culture and hospitality. Traveling solo offers me the flexibility to explore at my own pace and indulge in my interests in photography and nature.
