I think that the place feeling that it is natural and is the most beautiful of Japan is Shirakami mountains district. Because, it is enrolled in a world heritage.In addition, Shirakami mountains have the virgin forest of the beech,and there is nature which the hand of the person is not added to. So,there is the animal of many natural monuments in the environment.In addition, there are a river and waterfall,the pond in the mountains district,too.It is Aoike to be particulary famous in that. The surface of the water is clear and is very beautiful.It is used as a model of the movies by the beauty of Shirakami mountains. In fact, I have never been to the Shirakami mountains. So,I want to go there.

I think Mt.Tateyama is the best natural beauty place in Japan. There are lots of nature and beautiful creatures. Mt.Tateyama is one of the Northern Alps. As its famous tourist atraction, there is a ”Yukino-Otani” on the way to Mt.Tateyama. ”Yukino-Otani” means a big wall which is made by many snows. It's very beautiful scene. But it is only summer that we can see it. So, I will go there with my family in this summer.

Japan has a lot of natural beauty. I think Okinawa is the most beautiful in Japan. For example sea is very clear. Then only Sango grow in the sea. Natural beautiful is not only sea but also forest. For example a bird called Yanbarukuina is live in forest. I have never seen such natural and animals in Tokyo.

I think that the best natural beauty in Japan is Oze.Oze is a moor eminent Japan.Oze extends over Fukushima, Niigata, Gunma.The scenery that I saw from there is splendid.You must take the garbage home with you in oneself.Everybody follows the rule for conservation of nature.There is such an effort, too, and Oze is chosen as One-Hundred Views of Japan.I want everybody to see this splendid scenery.

I think that the best natural beauty in Japan is Okinawa. My favorite place is sea. The sea is very clear blue, so we can see various kind of fish with snorkeling. Also, I think seeing coral reef and shells is valuable. Because we seldom can’t see them in Tokyo. Not only beautiful sea but also forest is good natural. The bird that Yanvarukuina living in Okinawa is Japanese natural monument and an endangered species. Perhaps we maybe watch the bird.

I think my hometown is best nature. My house is surrounded by the mountains. The color of the leaf changes by a season and can enjoy the four seasons. It is a spring ground pink to be particularly splendid. A cherry tree blooms all over the ground, and there are many colors. Many people appear there and are popular so that a temporary train leaves. It is a park of nature which should go once in the life. I think that Japan has a lot of splendid nature including a ground pink when I think so.

I think Yufuin is the best natural beauty place in Japan. Yufuin is in Oita, Kyushu. My family like there too. When we have holidays, we go there to relax. We just been there recently during Golden Week. My cousins are little, so I played a lot with them. It was very wonderful time. Yufuin has Mt.Yufu. Yufuin's air is beautiful. My feeling was purified.

I think the best natural beauty place in Japan is Ogasawara Islands. Though it is located in Tokyo with little nature, there are many beautiful things. The dreamlike world spreads out for me who live in the city. For example, there is a beautiful sea which color of water is emeraldgreen and we can watch coral reef. Also if you look up the sky, you can see the star-filled sky. In this way, I think this Island is the most beauty place in Japan. I foget time when there. I proud that there is such a beautiful place in Japan.

In my opinion,I think the best nature in Japan is hot springs. First of all,"the best" can be said "the thing which is unique",so I think hot springs aren't the others ,which aren't unique.

In my opinion, the best natural beauty in Japan is Minamiaizu. My parents have a second house in Minamiaizu, so we often visit there. In spring, the hill at the back of our house has many and big skunk cabbage. In summer, there are various insects, such as a dragonfly, butterfly, beetle, and so on. In autumn, a Japanese maple in the garden wonderfully fall color. In winter, a lot of powder snow come down. I like to see these scenery. I haven't travel rarely, even so I think there is the best.

There are several points that you can find natural beauty in Japan. But if I were to choose one natural beauty in Japan, I would definitely choose Sakura as the best natural beauty in Japan. Sakura is very famous among the world for its beautiful pink color. Every spring most of the parks and schools will be filled with them. Speaking of Sakura, there is a event called Hanami too. In Hanami, you bring beers and meals under the Sakura trees, and you eat and drink them while you look at the Sakura trees. As you can see, Sakura has been an essential beautiful thing in Japan. This is why I choose Sakura as the most beautiful natural beauty in Japan.

I think that the best natural in Japan is Mt.Fuji. It is the highest and most famous mountain in Japan. It is surrouned by five lakes, so there are excellent views of the mountain.
