Yakushima, Japan

Yakushima, Japan

Ancient cedar trees, some more than a thousand years old and one estimated at over seven thousand, stand deep in this UNESCO World Heritage rainforest, the same moss-draped landscape that inspired Hayao Miyazaki's Princess Mononoke. Waterfalls tumble through forest so wet it rains, locals joke, thirty-five days a month, while onsen dot the coastline for a soak after the hike. One of the most primeval landscapes anywhere in Japan.

Testimonials

The crew was fabulous, we were treated like kings & queens, very personal, like no other experience we've ever had. See you next year and every year thereafter. Mr & Mrs AmbroseTexas
We've had a lovely time. My husband's request for his 70th birthday was to be on SeaDream in the Caribbean, and we've really enjoyed it. SeaDream is by far, the best cruise line in the Caribbean. Catherine B.Great Britain
...We had a great time-best ever, and will be coming back...Charlie and I feel like we've been yachting with our "best friends". Hard to believe we didn't know anyone on the yacht 8 days ago-now we've met new traveling friends for the years to come. Mr & Mrs HoganWashington
