Japan's National Parks operate unlike any system I've ever seen. For those more familiar with American-style National Park management, it might come as a bit of a shock (as it did to me) to see such widespread human development in a place called a "National Park." But, the deeper you dive into the inner workings of Japan's National Park system, the more you begin to understand that this system of National Parks WORKS. It works in the way Japan needs it to work, in the way that Japan approaches conservation. I find this fascinating. As a student of National Park Administration, I love seeing how other countries approach parks and conservation, because they are a reflection of that country's values, and how its people think about themselves in relation to the natural world. That's the entire point of this video - to help you learn a little bit about How National Parks Work in Japan, in the hopes of helping you understand a little more about Japan, it's people, and their relationship with nature.
