Yakushima island, home to the Jomon Sugi (Jomon Cedar) and 46 mountains more than 1,000 meters high, ( ) 60 kilometers south of Satamisaki cape, Kagoshima Prefecture, the southernmost tip of Kyushu.

( ) its large number of peaks, the island is known ( ) the Alps of the Sea. Among these mountains is Miyanouradake, which at 1,935 meters is the highest peak in the Kyushu region.

The Black Current flows to the southeast of the island, (sending) warm humid air wafting up into the mountains, resulting ( ) a rainfall that keeps it lush with vegetation. ( ) the 130-kilometer coastline and other low-lying areas receive an annual average rainfall of 4,000 millimeters, mountainous areas receive 8,000-10,000 millimeters--three times the amount that falls on Tokyo ( ) an average year. In fact, the rainfall on Yakushima is the highest among monitoring points.

Yakushima, which has an area of 500 square kilometers, is justly famous for its cedars. Trees 1,000 years old or more are ( ) Yakusugi cedars, while younger trees are referred to ( ) kosugi. Besides the Jomon Cedar, about 40 other Yakusugi trees have been ( ) names.

The longevity of the cedars on Yakushima is far in excess of the normal life span of a cedar, which is about 500 years. So why are so many cedars on Yakushima ( ) years old?

Hiroshi Hata, a local guide, has the following theory: "Yakushima is a mass of granite covered （ ） a thin layer of soil. As the soil is sparse, the cedars do not receive enough nutrients. Therefore, their growth is extremely slow, resulting in dense growth rings. This means they contain a great deal of resin, and as a result they resist decay better and live ( ). ( ) short, a diet is the key for a long life."
