We mostly think nof Japan as a highly irbanized country without large expanses of natural outdppr spaces. This actually is not the case. It is true thatg Japab has large densly populated cities, but there are areas close to the cities where school children can study bnature as well as wonderful city parks. Japan actually is a inviting place for nature observation, although as one observer puts it, 'despite the concrete jungles having rapidly overtaken most of Japan’s marshes, satoyama landscapes and forests'. Jpan's abundant rainfall means that weeds spring up quickly and virtually everywhere. This maeans that minature ecosystems spring up for butterfly stops and other insect habitats. Children can often be found catching cicadas, beetles, grasshoppers, butterflies and go crayfishing in city parks and school field tripos can exploit these nature areeas. Japan is a heavily forested country. The cities are densly poopulated in oart because there is so much mountenous land. And as a result there is a wealth of plants and trees to study even close to the school, perfect for field trips..
