What is Kinsakubaru Forest?
Located in the central and southern part of Amami Oshima, Kinsakubaru Forest is designated as a special protection area within a national park and as a UNESCO World Heritage site. Situated at an elevation of about 300 meters, it is enveloped in humidity year-round due to its deep forest location. The forest is home to many ferns and orchids, and the canopy of tree ferns spreading overhead is one of the most iconic sights of Amami.
