Landforms and Natural environments of Japan.

Mountains


Japan is very famous for a few reasons. One of these reasons is because of its great number of mountain ranges. Over 3/4 of the country is covered with mountains. This does not help the fact that Japan already is running out of space for the people living there to live and go about their daily life. One of the most famous mountains and a very popular tourist attraction found in Japan is Mt. Fuji. This is an active volcano and the highest mountain in the country. It is approximately 3,776m high.

Rivers


There are many rivers in Japan, but not many are very long. Some of the rivers include; the Yoshinogawa, the Ara-kawa, the Mogami-gawa and the Fuji-kawa, just to mention a few.

Wildlife

Many unique types of flora and fauna species can be found in the country of Japan. Some of the well-known, typical flora species is the cherry blossom flower (also known as Sakura). This particular species is the country's national flower and symbol. The other species is Bamboo. This species is known throughout the world and is used for making numerous things. Just like the flora species, many kinds of fauna species can be found in this country. TheCrane, Japanese deer, foxes, the racoon dog, koi fish, the Tokyo fish (and so on) are only a few of Japan's famous species of Fauna.
