Yakushima photos - The Waters

Yakushima is an island - to drive around the perimeter is a task of only a couple hours (it's slow going). There are interesting coastal views, including some hot springs right along the sea. There are waterfalls cascading down numerous cliffs and valleys from the peaks above. There are rivers and lakes, brooks, and ponds. (This one was too dark - I switched to black and white on my digital camera).

Yakushima is located about 120 km south of Kyushu, in the chain of islands extending down as far as Okinawa, Japan.
