About Japan

Japan is remarkably forested for a highly developed economy, with roughly two-thirds of the country under tree cover, much of it mountainous and difficult to develop. Its long north-south extent gives it everything from subarctic forest in Hokkaido to subtropical coral reefs in Okinawa.
