Discover Yakushima - Where Forests Meet the Sea

Tucked away in southern Japan, Yakushima is a place where ancient forests and wild coastlines come together in perfect harmony.

Step into the island’s lush, moss-covered mountains and you’ll find towering cedar trees—some over 1,000 years old. The legendary Jomon Sugi, thought to be more than 7,000 years old, stands as a living monument to time. Hiking here feels like entering the world of Princess Mononoke—and that’s no coincidence; the film was inspired by this very landscape.

But Yakushima’s magic doesn’t stop in the forest. From May to August, its sandy beaches become one of Japan’s most important nesting grounds for endangered loggerhead sea turtles. By moonlight, you might witness these gentle creatures coming ashore to lay their eggs—or even see tiny hatchlings begin their journey to the sea.
Few places on Earth offer such a profound connection to both land and ocean. 🌲🐢🌊

Discover Japan’s Rainy Season

Did you know Japan has a rainy season called tsuyu (梅雨)? It starts around June (except in Hokkaido) and lasts about a month.

While rain might seem like a downside, tsuyu brings a magical charm—especially in Kamakura, just an hour from Tokyo. At Hasedera Temple, over 2,000 blooming hydrangeas paint the hills in pink, purple, and blue. The quiet streets, temple views, and soft rainfall create a peaceful, unforgettable mood.

Arashiyama Bamboo Forest – Wondertrunk Experience

The Arashiyama Bamboo Forest offers an unforgettable stroll (or cycle!) through towering groves that sway gently in the breeze. A timeless part of Kyoto’s charm, it’s also steeped in craftsmanship—bamboo here has long been shaped into baskets, tea cups, and more.

Arashiyama’s popularity means it can get very crowded, especially midday. For a quieter experience, venture just a bit further. Adashino Nenbutsuji hides a serene bamboo grove with hardly a soul in sight. Okochi Sanso offers panoramic gardens and matcha in a peaceful teahouse setting. And the whimsical stone statues of Otagi Nenbutsuji make for one of Kyoto’s most charming surprises.

There’s more to Arashiyama than the main path—if you know where to look.
