Fukugi trees in Izena village

Fukugi tree-lined walkway on Izena Island, where traditional scenery remains

Fukugi trees, which line the streets of Izena village, were planted as windbreaks to protect houses from typhoons and strong winds in ancient times, and today are popular as a relaxing walking path. The shade provided by the Fukugi trees lining both sides of the path is cool, and it is like walking through a tunnel of greenery. The scenery, which is in harmony with the stone walls and red-tiled roofs of the houses, is nostalgic and reminds us of the simple life on the island. In the early morning and evening hours, the quietness and pleasant breeze will fill your heart.
