World Natural Heritage(4):Shirakami-Sanchi

A Happy New Year! 2012 has just started!

What is your resolution for 2012?

I had introduced three World Natural Heritage sites, Ogasawara Islands,

Hiraizumi Cultural Heritage and Shiretoko.

Today, I would like to introduce you the one in Aomori prefecture.

The name of the Place is "Shirakami-Sanchi".

"Shirakami-Sanchi" is a enormous mountain covering southwestern part of Aomori

Prefecture and northwestern part of Akita Prefecture.

"Shirakami-Sanchi" is one of the world's largest virgin beech forests extending

along the Japan Sea sides of Aomori and Akita prefectures. it is a home of many

rare animals and plants.
