Interesting Fact
About 67% of Japan's land is covered by forests, making it one of the most heavily forested developed countries in the world. Many mountains are so densely wooded that they've never been completely cleared. This deep connection with forests has shaped Japanese architecture, religion, folklore, and even everyday life for centuries.
