Cat Island Tashirojima 2015 VR Japan Bamboo Forest
Tashirojima, Tashirohama, Ishinomaki, Miyagi 986-0023, Japan
Cat Island has man roadside attractions for such a small island, however paying closer attention as you drive between township too township you can start to notice dense bamboo roadside jungles that reach so high begin to elope and even blot out the surrounding suns rays on bright days like today in 2015
Camera height scales can be deceiving but these roadside trails are impressive

The crossing takes about 45 minutes. Disembark at Nitoda (仁斗田). Oodomari port (大泊) is being rebuilt after being totally destroyed by another natural disaster. Natural disasters seem to be a common occurrence on this island

Natural marshlands within the southern states and veins of the united States used to act in that manner until the deforestation of mash land in Louisiana with hurricane Katrina 2005 may have contributed to the devastation

In Japan the natural disasters can get so bad the marshland buffers popup all over the higher land areas of the island as you can see with this road

Southern disaster hurricane hit american states like Louisiana buffer swamps and bayous are very low-lying almost subterranean in theme slowdowns approaching threats while the deforestation has made those storms more intense

In Japan those same types of buffers seem to be high on the hills of this island, one bamboo mature shoot can be stronger than bars of steel so you can only imagine a cluster of bamboos shield would bring

Bamboo is amazing building material due to it's strenght, could you imagine rows of steel rods goriwng out the ground looking like a plant, that's essentially bamboo

Bamboo loves water and grows where there's plenty of activity even though it's quiet now i would imagine hurricane season when these islands are close off to tourists due to the danger threats

It's not unusual to walk everywhere about Tashirojima Cat Island, rumors of a local citizen who run a bus service hasn't been verified but rumored to be kitted out with cat art, designs and souvieners

The journey is indeed the destination of this island and the bamboo roadside forests aren't to be overlooked they really could be the future of this cat island with appropriate implementation at the coastal areas instead of being reserved to the outskirt jungle of the island.
