Yakushima Environmental and Cultural Village Center
On my third day in Yakushima, I visited the Environmental and Cultural Village Center. The admission fee was 520 yen and it was totally English friendly - from the staff to the audio guide to written materials. There was also a movie in Japanese, with English subtitles. The museum layout was great and had different areas for Yakushima - Water Island, The World of People - the Ocean, The World of People - the Village, The World of Trees, and The World Inhabited by Gods.

It's been a really interesting read Pamela... thanks for the great pics!
Looks like it was a good informative trip.
Your travels are always so interesting - love the bit about the 1,000 year old trees. xx
All these older trees should be preserved forever.
How interesting! And a map of the waterfalls...sounds like an island worth exploring!
