Hidden away in the dense forests slightly inland from Anbo in the eastern part of Yakushima, the “Sarukawa Banyan Tree (Sarukawa no Gajumaru)” is a peerless, off-the-beaten-path scenic spot showcasing an overwhelming explosion of untouched, primitive natural life force. Protruding complexly as if to entangle rugged rock faces, the sight of multiple giant aerial roots spreading powerfully like a massive living creature instantly draws walking hikers into the mystical world of a fantasy film. Pushing through the beautifully moss-covered paths, which are intentionally left undeveloped to retain an adventurous thrill, wraps visitors in abundant negative ions and deep forest silence, profoundly purifying the mind. It is a sacred sanctuary to experience Earth’s primitive living systems through all five senses, completely forgotten by urban noise.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
