Neuroscientist Kenichiro Mogi talks about the enchantment of Yakushima

Yakushima, the island located in the south of Japan was designated a UNESCO World Natural Heritage Site in 1993. And also its virgin forest is famous for where the movie “Princess Mononoke” took place. Every year, many travelers from all over the world are coming to enjoy its great nature. We focus on the culture and people living on this wonderful island and deliver it by videos.

―”Each time you come to Yakushima, you are astonished by the abundance of nature and the diversity of its wildlife.”

Neuroscientist Kenichiro Mogi is also familiar with butterfly research which he has done since childhood. What kind of allure will the natural environment of Yakushima have for someone like Mr. Mogi? A short lecture at Yakushima Senvus Village will be available.
