Dive into an acoustic journey of Japan’s national parks! Sounds of Shizen takes you to the country’s most breathtaking landscapes, beginning every episode with a clip from a field recording. Unlike national parks in other parts of the world, Japan’s park system integrates natural environments with the local human activity and culture, resulting in an extraordinary heritage. Alongside guides and park insiders who share travel tips and first-hand knowledge, we take a closer look at these spaces and unpack their legacies. Join us as we travel the archipelago and prepare you for your own journey!
