Cruises visiting Miyanoura, Yakushima

Miyanoura, on the preserved island of Yakushima, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, reveals a remarkably rich natural universe. Between mist-covered mountains, lush forests and wild coastlines, it is home to majestic millennia-old cedar trees, some of which are said to have inspired the dreamlike landscapes in the film Princesse Mononoke. The spectacular Senpiro Waterfall, tumbling down an immense granite monolith, is one of the island’s iconic sites. Yakushima is also the guardian of ancestral craftmanship, perpetuated from generation to generation and profoundly linked to its exceptional environment.
