A 1 cm fern on an island stripped of vegetation. 🌋🌱 On Nishinoshima Island, the first land plants since the 2013–2020 eruptions were confirmed growing in 2025. A July 2026 survey continued monitoring the island to inform future conservation. 🌿

This is karst, carved by rain dissolving limestone. In Mine City (mee-neh), grassland and caves are one system, protected by conservation and education. 💧

A UNESCO Global Geopark, the city hands this living land to the future. 🌍

In Japan, cosmos are called akizakura (秋桜)—“autumn cherry blossoms.” 🌸

Native to Mexico, they now color autumn parks across Japan, including Tokyo’s Showa Kinen Park. 🍃

A different kind of cherry blossom season is here. ✨

A towel starts in the forest.🌲💧In Imabari, the city and towel industry manage forests tied to towel making water. Professionals thin trees, clear undergrowth, while association members and locals plant. Beyond the factory, the industry cares for the resources behind its craft.

To protect nature, sometimes you have to pull out plants. 🏜️🌬️ At the Tottori Sand Dunes, vegetation can stabilize the sand and reduce its movement. Conservation includes thinning plants where needed—helping keep a living dune shaped by sand, wind and plants. ✨
