We present an episode about the Higashi Village Takkaezaki Cape and the Ryukyu Black Turtle, explored during the Yanbaru Scenic Tour!
The owner of Treeful purchased land at Higashi Village Takkaezaki Cape to protect the endangered Ryukyu Black Turtle.
When the owner first encountered a turtle, they felt as if it was saying, “Help me!”
One month after the land purchase, a company approached the owner with an offer to buy the land at 100 times the purchase price to used the rocks in the property for construction. However, the owner firmly declined, remembering that the land was purchased to protect the endangered turtles.
However, the owner did not forget that it was a land purchased to protect the endangered turtle, so he refused it.
The Yanbaru Scenic Tour is held at this cape. Lucky visitors might get to see the turtles!
