Aya Teruha Forest

綾照葉樹林

Miyazaki · Kyushu

Aya protects one of Japan’s major evergreen broadleaf forests, with deep green slopes and a high suspension bridge nearby. The air feels humid, alive, and distinctly southern.

Why we picked it

It is inland from Miyazaki City and less convenient than the coast.
