Japan is a country full of nature’s serenity throughout the four season.During sunmmer, the hot and moist air mass call the Pacific High Pressure flows through Japan from the south sea. And during the winter time, the Japanese Islands fringes on the edge of the Siberian cold air mass. Spring and Autumn bring the seasons of the “change”. The appearance of nature changes throughout the days and weeks. From ancient times, Japanese people have great respect for nature and the ever poetically changing seasons. In that sense, their culture, arts, and religion greatly reflect this kinship towards nature.

With respect for mother nature, the biggest peninsula in Japan, Kii Peninsula remain the natural Holy Land ever since the time of old. It is like the microcosms of earth condense with a range of variety, from coral reef to snowy mountains. The warm ocean current call “Kuroshio” (Japan current) running close along the land. It carries more 500 times than the flow rate of the Amazon river. It brings warm air into the land to nourish the growth of many trees, creating lush forests which is why Kii Peninsula is rich with rain forests. In addiotion, in Kumano area, the southern tip of the Kii Peninsula, a volcano erupted about 15 million years ago, forming the toporography it has today. The mountain ranges and rock formations are still very unique. Kumano is an area crowded with sacred places.
