  " Travel is a state of mind , I travel far and wide, both in person and in mind.

I visited the Japanese island of Tsushima via a short ferry hop from Busan while holidaying in South Korea in November 2019. These were some of the photos taken with my DSLR and I thought it would be cool to put them together as a short video. This video was published in my YouTube Channel, Tanks Travel Tales .

Japan, Nagasaki Prefecture, Tsushima Japan is a country which is heavily forested. Close to 2/3 of the country is covered in forests. I had always wanted to travel to and hike in some of Japan's forested areas, preferably in locales where the human population is sparse. Not that I am a hermit but less populated areas usually means more flourishing flora and fauna due to lesser human activities. Over the years and during my many trips to Japan, I had hiked in the Okuhida region of Takayama's mountain range as well as in the forests of Shiga Prefecture. One of my hikes in Japan's forests was in November 2019 when I traveled to Tsushima from Busan (Korea). Located between Busan and Nagasaki, Tsushima is an island group.

The relatively low human population density in this island group has generally allowed the local flora and fauna to flourish without much human intervention. Tsushima Island, Nagasaki Prefecture, Japan (2019) During my recent trip to Tsushima in early November 2019, I did some hikes around the northern areas of the main north island, Kamino-shima. Armed with my DSLR camera fitted with a standard 60mm macro lens, I digitally recorded the natural beauty I encountered during these hikes.
