Gerri is buying our ferry tickets for our voyage of just under 4 hours from Kagoshima to Yakushima Island.
Picture
...leaving on a diesel boat, don't know when I'll be back again...
Picture
The ferry provided this very useful brochure that would guide us around the island.

Hooray, the weather is fantastic for a longish ferry ride.
Picture
Other "aquatic life" is out and about.
Picture
Picture
We approach Yakushima Island...
Picture
...and getting closer yet.
Picture
Just like that, we're now in another rental car, heading to some sights.
Picture
This beach almost reminds us of home...except for the baby mountains...
Picture
...even an excavator is out enjoying the white sand and blue waters.
Picture
Picture
Can't decide to select out any of these photos of green, blue, and taupe.
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
The interior of the island is a rocky mountainous zone.
Picture
Picture
Our sporty Mazda we'll enjoy for few days, now parked at the spot to see the grand lighthouse.
Picture
Picture
To me, this looks like a humungous turtle head resting up upon the rocky shoreline.  For you Japanese Monster movie buffs, no this is not the lair of Gamera, but where Mothra came to supersize herself with the help of the eternal forest.
Picture
Here's a nice way to travel the miles, scooters fitted for the long haul, now at the local supermarket with us stocking up on snacks.
Picture
A dinner of flying fish is served, complete with instructions for us foreigners on how to eat it.
Picture
Our lodging on the island, a half-timbered English cottage.
