Botanical garden, Yufu Island

We took a water buffalo-drawn cart from Iriomote to Yufu Island, which has a botanical garden.

I found this video on YouTube which shows one of these singers, playing a sanshin, and also shows the water buffalo carts crossing the straight. It does give a real sense of what the whole experience is like so I recommend watching it! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G7Xlt4BJ9Ns

Looks like a croton plant, more common in the tropics.
