Sites from World Heritage Properties (Natural), UNESCO Global Geoparks, and National Parks of Japan representing key facets of this heritage are analyzed in depth, and the text is supplemented with color photographs and useful information for potential travelers. The volume is divided into thematic sections that help understand the diversity of Japan?s natural heritage, with supplementary information on conservation, tourism trends, local culture and lifestyles. In addition, chapters analyzing nature's mechanisms that engender diverse heritage landscapes and conservation/sustainable management schemes make this volume a valuable resource for both general readers and those with more specialized interests. 410 0$aGeoheritage, Geoparks and Geotourism, Conservation and Management Series,$x2363-765X 606 $aGeology 606 $aGeomorphology 606 $aNature conservation 606 $aLandscape ecology 606 $aGeology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/G17002 606 $aGeomorphology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/J16010 606 $aNature Conservation$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U26008 606 $aLandscape Ecology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L19058 615 0$aGeology. 615 0$aGeomorphology. 615 0$aNature conservation. 615 0$aLandscape ecology. 615 14$aGeology. 615 24$aGeomorphology. 615 24$aNature Conservation. 615 24$aLandscape Ecology. 676 $a508.52 702 $aChakraborty$b Abhik$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aMokudai$b Kuniyasu$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aCooper$b Malcolm$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aWatanabe$b Mahito$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aChakraborty$b Shamik$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910299392803321 996 $aNatural Heritage of Japan$92508146 997 $aUNINA
