Rebun Island in Spring

Overview

Our stage this time is Rebun Island, located off the coast of northern Hokkaido. A large variety of alpine plants thrive in this complex landscape and cool climate. As such, Rebun is home to a unique ecosystem, and has earned it the nickname ‘floating island of flowers’. Our program host explores the beautiful flowers blooming in June, some of which are endemic to the island. And later, we show you the rare footage of the birds that live on the island.
