Yakushima Comprehensive Nature Park

This nature park is located on the banks of the Miyanoura River. The roughly 80,000-square-meter park features a botanical garden, an outdoor stage, a rest house, and other facilities. The botanical garden, which is situated in the middle basin of the Miyanoura River, grows alpine plants and endemic species of Yakushima. Most notably, it grows and exhibits Yakushima rhododendron, one of the island's most exemplary species of flower. Seedlings of this rare plant are also available for purchase. Visitors with an advanced reservation can even enjoy bathing in the middle of a forest in the wood-fired Yunoko no Yu baths.
