Yakushima is a stage in Tekken 8. It is situated on the Japanese island of Yakushima, home of the Kazama Clan, and birthplace of Jun Kazama and Jin Kazama.
Description
The stage is set in the mountainous forests of Yakushima, with enormous mossy Japanese cedars surrounding the scene, and small Sika deer standing around on the large tree roots and leaping around. Sacred prayer ropes are strung in the area and about one of the trees. The main stage is a shallow pool of clear water with islets of land, and sunbeams breaking through the foliage. In the largest tree trunk, an old stone shrine doorway can be seen, with overgrown stone steps leading up to it. The old shrine doorway also leads inside to the Sanctum stage.
In Story Mode, the old shrine doorway becomes a whirling portal and takes Jin Kazama to the Descent into Subconscious.
Background Music
The BGM is titled "TAMASHII".
