Kinsakubaru Virgin Forest
"Tastes of JAPAN by ANA" is a regional vitalization project that collaborates with the different prefectures in Japan to present the Land of the Rising Sun in all of its diverse glory.
In Kinsakubaru Virgin Forest in Amami-shi on Amami Oshima Island in Kagoshima, you will enjoy a unique walking experience and encounter exotic species.
Hikagehego, or flying spider-monkey tree ferns dubbed "living fossils," are all over the forest. Rare species endemic to the Amami Islands, such as rurikakesu (Lidth's Joy), also live in this forest.
Hikagehego ferns hang densely above and keep the forest dark. In the midst of this darkness, some sunlight breaks through here and there, giving the forest a mystic atmosphere.
