JAPAN Relax Your Mood With Pleasant Music And Beautiful Nature

Japan is an archipelago, or string of islands, on the eastern edge of Asia. There are four main islands: Hokkaido, Honshu, Shikoku, and Kyushu. There are also nearly 4,000 smaller islands! Japan's nearest mainland neighbors are the Siberian region of Russia in the north and Korea and China farther south.The Japanese people have a deep affection for the beauty of the landscape. The ancient Shinto religion says natural features like mountains, waterfalls, and forests have their own spirits, like souls.Most of Japan is covered by countryside. But with more than 100 million people living in such a small place, wildlife has suffered.Pollution is now tightly controlled, but road building and other human activities have harmed natural habitats. About 136 species in Japan are listed as endangered.Surrounded by a beautiful coastline and covered with mountains and forests, there is much more in Japan than a busy city life. From the drift ice in Hokkaido, to the mangrove forests in Okinawa, and from the magnificent Mountain Fuji, to the awe-inspiring Takachiho gorge, Japan has many natural wonders to see.
