Yakushima Island, a World Natural Heritage site, is an island of rich nature floating in the ocean in Kagoshima Prefecture. Daily life takes place in rich and delicious water, clean air, and star-filled skies. In recent years, tourism, especially eco-tourism, has developed on the island, attracting travelers from all over the world. The village culture still remains strong, with many events held by each island community and dialects still being spoken. On the other hand, one of the characteristics of this island is that many people have immigrated to the area over decades, so still fostering diverse values and cultures.
This is the learcation that solves each community’s assignments and student’s assignments. It is obvious through staying in Yakushima gives a lot of means to your work, study, or life of itself. And we consider that directly connecting to the contribution to the community at the same time.

I had the pleasure of staying for two weeks. The natural beauty of Yakushima is well-known, but the kindness and loveliness of the staff at the accommodation were also exceptional. I was able to interact with many other guests as well. Staying for an extended period allowed me to experience the island's atmosphere and discover things that a short tourist visit could not offer. It was a wonderful time. Since the weather can greatly affect your plans, I recommend staying for a long, leisurely period.
