What sort of place is the Kinsakubaru primeval forest?
Amami Oshima is a very oasis for the plants thanks to a lot of rain falls and the temperate climate.
The plants grow up so quickly !
Especially, the Kinsakubaru primeval forest designated as a national park,
World Natural Heritage Site, is a site covered in green,
and filled with life energy power, as far as the eye can reach.
The High Spots in Kinsakubaru:
In the Kinsakubaru Native Forest do grow over 150 year old giant woods,
Quercus miyagii (Okinawa-urajirogashi),
ten meter high powerful fern plants and hikagehego in plant communities,
bird’s-nest fern (otani watari) attaching to the trunks of trees,
and various seasonal flowers in bloom, etc.,
which all bring about the feeling or sensation as if we were in another world.
Once we hear about tropical flowers,
we tend to imagine the ostentatious flowers like hibiscus.
In fact, the precious plants in Kinsakubaru native forests
are so tiny and unnoticeable in color
that we easily step on them, when we do not have any knowledge about them.
There are so many tiny and unnoticeable things in Kinsakubaru.
