Flora and Fauna

Between the beaches of Okinawas, to the snow covered mountain peaks in Hokkaido, the landscape of Japan is incredibly versatile. Flat plains with large cities flow into hills and mountainous areas. Water is a major element in Japan, whether it be the ocean or a river flowing through the landscape. The most famous plant is the Cherry Tree, that turns the whole country into a sweet smelling, pink shaded carpet in Spring.
