Hello!
How are you? Today, let's look at national parks (国際・国立公園) in different countries.
The picture above is in Japan - the famous Nikko Toushou-guu, which some of you may have been to. But did you know that it is within a national park? It's in Nikko National Park, which is in the area of four prefectures - Tochigi, Gunma, Fukushima, and Niigata.
Have you ever been there? If you have been to Nikko Toushou-guu, then you have been to a national park in Japan.
