Activities

Mountains cover nearly 70% of Japan, a country surrounded by the sea and dotted with many rivers, lakes, and swamps. Because it runs long and narrow north to south, the climate varies widely by region. People can enjoy marine sports all across the country in the summer months of July and August, and hit the slopes for skiing and snowboarding in areas that receive lots of snow from December to March. A variety of sports can be played throughout the country year round, taking advantage of its geographical features and natural environment
