Today at work we were sent to check out the route from Tatsumi to Tokoyo. We left around 9:15 and got to the the end at 2:00 pm with a very slow pace, looking at the plants and breathing all the fresh air.
This is a type of Guava called Banjakuro and it is not yet the season but we found some yellowish ones that could be eaten.
It is sweet but sour and the flavor is very similar to the Guaba
We bumped into this cute little goat on the way...
He looked at us for a while and then decided it was best to tell mom some strangers were looking at him and then they ran off! hehe
Maybe a type of cedar or fern.
I strongly believe that Ogasawara's nature is hidden deep in all the small things. You really have to look closely and find some time to look and appreciate. It is not like Australia or Kenya where you will see things flying and running all over the place, it is a place where the green has silently and peacefully evolved.

Tokoyo Waterfall is a small waterfall cuddled in a valley next to a river. I would like to visit it during the rainy season and shower :)
Spring or Summer not sure but WHAT A DAY! The sun touching my skin and the warm wind warming my heart. Kominato beach was active! with people running, fishing, kayaking and swimming. Ogasawara's summer here we go!
It's interesting to read that cats are hunted on the island (to protect the native birds) but goats seem to be allowed? Wouldn't wild goats be harmful to the local vegetation?
ReplyDeleteHi there! Thank you for your comments.
ReplyDeleteYes, they are also exterminating the goats. They are trying to exterminate all "alien species" except for the human beings.
Do you have a blog I could check out?
