Yakushima!

Early morning view of Sakurajima, Kagoshima's active volcano, from the ferry port




The cute little rental car
Driving was slightly scary because #1 the roads are VERY narrow and curvy and there are deer and monkeys all over the place #2 I've never driven on the left and #3 I haven't driven for the past 9 months... but if you're heading to Yakushima I would recommend a car unless you want to do organized tour bus type stuff. Would have been a bit hard to get places using just public transport. The car company met us at the ferry terminal and also rented camping gear, which was in the car when we arrived.


One of Yakushima's specialties, flying fish
