    Yakushima

    Jhomonsugi_in_Yaku_Island_Japan_001  is an island of about 500 km² and roughly 15,000 islanders to the south of Kyūshū in Kagoshima Prefecture, Japan. The Vincennes Strait (Yakushima Kaikyō) separates it from Tanegashima. The highest point on the island is Miyanoura-dake at 1,935 metres (6,360 ft). It is covered in dense forest noted especially for old growth Cryptomeria trees known as Sugi in Japan and magnificent Rhododendrons.

    Yakushima's unique remnant of a warm-temperate ancient forest is a natural World Heritage Site since 1993. It is said to rain "35 days a month". Precipitation in Yakushima is one of the world's highest at 4,000 to 10,000 mm. There are in fact dry periods in autumn and winter, while heaviest downpours occur in spring and summer often accompanied by landslides. It is the southernmost place in Japan where there is snow in the mountains, often for months, while the ocean temperature is never below 19°C.

    The "pristine" Yakusugi Forest of Manga fame is visited by 300,000 tourists every year. It is said to have inspired the forest setting in Hayao Miyazaki's film Princess Mononoke.[citation needed] The island was also seen in the 1996 movie Rebirth of Mothra where Mothra Leo laid his cocoons on one of the trees there.

    The island has been a test site for Honda's hydrogen fuel cell vehicle research. Yakushima's electricity is more than 50% hydroelectric, and surplus power has been used to produce hydrogen gas in a small experiment by Kagoshima University. There are no hydrogen cars stationed on the island but a few electric cars are run by the municipality.

    Administratively, the whole island is the town of Yakushima. The town also serves the neighbouring Kuchinoerabujima.

    Yakushima Airport serves the island.

    Worst Fish Entree On the Border Dos XX Fish Tacos with Rice and Beans

    Perhaps the most misleadingly named dish in America: A dozen crunchy tacos from Taco Bell will saddle you with fewer calories.

    Lighten the Load: Ask for grilled fish, choose the corn tortillas instead of flour (they're lower in calories and higher in fiber), and swap out the carbohydrate-loaded rice for grilled vegetables.



    Super Substitutions: Front-load your meal with a protein-based dish that's not deep-fried. A high-protein starter helps diminish hunger without putting you into calorie overload. And remember: Appetizers are meant to be shared.

    At On the Border: Chicken Soft Tacos (250 calories each). This entree is as close as you'll come to a healthy starter.
