With:Solo
I plan to visit Yakushima to immerse myself in its lush, ancient forests and capture the breathtaking landscapes with my camera. As a solo traveler, I'm looking forward to the solitude and serenity this island offers, which will allow me to connect deeply with nature. During my 11-day stay, I'll be exploring the island's famous hiking trails, photographing its unique wildlife, and learning about its rich cultural heritage. Although I haven't booked a hotel, I'll likely opt for a cozy guesthouse or a traditional ryokan, which will provide an authentic local experience and allow me to meet other travelers and locals.
