From the Yokogurayama Natural Forest Museum English pamphlet:

“Long long ago, when men exchanged words with stars, woods, and wild animals. Nature seems whimsical, but we live together in harmony. Asking to get along with us. Invisible nature is God. We wish to be given a lot of food. Everybody lives and we are members of all things in nature. Convenience is everything. In the 20th century, civilization separates man from nature. Nature is lonely. Men are also somewhat lonely. Well, here is a mountain. It’s unique in shape; formed at the bottom of the sea. Through millions of years, it has moved far from the south. There are various rare plants, trees, and insects in this mountain. It is exciting, interesting and full of surprise to meet nature. The Yokogurayama Natural Forest Museum is in this nature. Sun light, water, and wind are playing here.”

I can’t wait to go.
