Japan's central island of Honshu is home to millions of people, but it has a wild heart. From the mountains to the edge of the sea, people and nature are drawn together in the most unexpected ways.
Hokkaido is Japan's northernmost -- and wildest -- island, a place totally unlike the rest of the country. It takes tough animals and tough people with real ingenuity to survive, and even thrive, in this ever-changing place.
In the far southwest of Japan, there is a chain of islands stretching towards the tropics. It's a place where all life is influenced by the power of the sea and where volcanoes and typhoons are forces to be reckoned with.
