While in Japan, I was lucky to be able to explore all sorts of neat habitats. While visiting Lake Biwa and the surrounding wetlands covered in reeds I was able to see many birds such as Grey Herons. We also visited the Lake Biwa museum where we got to see some of the fish found in Lake Biwa. Lake Biwa, one of the world's ancient lakes has 60 endemic species!
We were also fortunate enough to visit a semi-mountainous nature conservation area! It was going to be turned into a golf course but it is now being conserved. There were huge spiders everywhere! Sadly it was rainy so I didn't get to see any of the many dragonflies found there but we did find a neat salamander!
