Kagoshima Kumage-gun Yakushimacho Hara 677-44

"This theme park developed in the rural woodlands of Yakushima features two attractions that allow visitors to enjoy the forests of this World Natural Heritage site from the air. The first is the Canopy Walk, a fun and challenging tree-top walkway. The second is the Canopy Rope, which allows visitors to zip through the trees like a bird. The park's biggest characteristic is that it proposes ""a more natural way to have fun"" than other leisure facilities. All of the materials used to build the attractions other than the metal fittings and other industrial components are sourced locally on Yakushima. The park even made use of the slabs that are a byproduct of the timber milling process where possible as part of a zero emissions initiative on the island."

Kagoshima Ichikikushikino-shi Ozato 648

This strawberry farm is located about a seven-minute drive from Ichiki Station. The farm grows two types of strawberries; Saga Honoka, which have little sourness and high sugar content, and Benihoppe, which are characterized by their juiciness. The farm grows their strawberries in carefully-cultivated soil rather than in a more easily managed hydroponic medium in order to maximize their fragrance and richness of their strawberries. Thanks to the farm's efforts to use as little agrochemicals as possible, it is possible to eat their strawberries without needing to wash them first.
