People look forward to seeing the cherry blossoms every year! Can you see why?
The cherry blossoms are some of the most important things about nature in Japan. Every year hundreds of people prepare a picnic with friends and family just to go sit under these beautiful trees. The best time to see the cherry blossoms is between March and May. |
Mountains cover almost all of Japan. This may cause population density, but allows most of the nation to be untouched and naturally beautiful. This particular mountain is Mount Yari which is located in the Kita Alps.
The mountain seen in the first picture on this page is none other that Mount Fuji, which is the most iconic mountain in all of Japan. |
There are over 3,000 different species of fish recorded throughout Japan! Being an island nation, fish isn't hard to come by in Japan. Japan is #1 for tuna consumption and export. This trend is slowing due to fears of fishing tuna to extinction. Do you like tuna? If so, then save the tuna!

These little guys are the Japanese Macaques. As you can see they are part of nature that is enjoying nature! These hot springs can be found throughout Yakushima. The habitat of the macaques varies, but most can be found in either the sub-arctic regions in the northern mountains or the southern sub-tropical areas.
