The Fabric of Life in a Forest: Shirakami-Sanchi
Shirakami-Sanchi or Shirakami Mountain Range is situated at the northern end of Honshu and home to one of the world's largest beech forests. This 8,000-year-old pristine landscape is nearly untouched by modern development. Its rich ecosystem is home to a myriad of plant and animal species as well as a group of hunter-gatherers who coexist with the nature.
