Seibu Rindo Forest Path
On the western side of the island, the coastal road connecting Kurio and Nagata settlements is called the Seibu Rindo Forest Path, and is surrounded by untouched forests. It is the only place where you can drive a car through a World Heritage zone, where the untouched forest spreads out for around 20 kilometers. You can meet wild Yakushima macaques and Yakushima deer in this area. You may even see a macaque riding a deer.
