In the vicinity of Tokyo, the natural beech has decreased due to the influence of global warming and air pollution. But you can see the tree if you go to Nikko and Nagano,and in botanical garden near Tokyo.

Beech is not only yellow leaves, fresh green and white stem is also beautiful. Walking through the forest of beech, made to feel like you are in the plateau.
However, since the seed is a favorite food of the ferocious bear, have to be careful.
