Join us on a journey through Yakushima, Japan’s ancient forest island and the real-world inspiration for Studio Ghibli’s 'Princess Mononoke'. From ethereal, moss-covered cedar forests to a real-life iron town, we trace the landscapes that shaped Hayao Miyazaki’s vision. At the heart of it all lies a deeper mystery — one that echoes through the film’s central themes and the spirit of the island itself.
