About this book
Between Japan's mountains and its sea lies a third country: the country of wet water.
Japan's Wetlands & Ramsar Sites is the complete guide to 200 wetlands, marshes and waterbird havens: the crane marshes of Kushiro and the swan lakes of Hokkaido; the saved tidal flats of Tokyo Bay and the boardwalk moors of Oze; the reedbeds of Lake Biwa, the stork river of Toyooka and the great lagoons of Shinji and Nakaumi; the vast Ariake mudflats; the mangrove rivers of Iriomote; and the living wetlands of today — winter-flooded paddies farmed for storks and ibis, spring villages, karst ponds and coasts restored after the tsunami.
Every entry gives the wetland itself, its background and conservation story, its birds and present condition, and a Visiting & Checking note directing you to the official local source for current access and rules — because this book describes character, not this month's arrangements. Written and produced in Japan by Aki Wakamatsu.
Written and created in Japan by Japanese author Aki Wakamatsu. Published by Takikawa TOKOTOKO Kids LLC, a Japanese publisher in Hokkaido, Japan. Authentic Japanese content, carefully made in Japan — not mass-produced.
