Journey through a Vibrant World of New Green

Japan is about 70% forest. From June through early summer is the season of shinryoku, or “new green,” when the fresh leaves create a scenic and pleasant atmosphere in bright green hues. Each region features distinct ways to enjoy this invigorating season of life and renewal.
