TOKYO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Many countries have designated areas of natural beauty as national parks, aiming to preserve outstanding natural scenery and protect local ecosystems. Japan designated its own first national parks—Setonaikai, Unzen and Kirishima—in 1934, and the country now boasts 34 of them. Japan’s national parks incorporate a fair amount of privately owned land, including residential areas, farms and forested areas, providing visitors with a glimpse of local cultures and long-standing traditions. These include rice cultivation, sake brewing, and bathing in hot springs, all of which have inseparable connections with the natural world. The parks help preserve these connections and are therefore testament to the enduring relationship between humans and nature.
