Mysterious Island Floating in the East China Sea: Yakushima
Sōyōtei is a guesthouse built by relocating a century-old traditional house to a breathtaking location on Yakushima’s west coast, overlooking the volcanic island of Kuchinouranbe.
On the beach right in front, you can see sea turtles laying eggs and hatchlings emerging from May to August every year.
