The University of Tokyo's Botanical Forest
Here can be seen about 300 kinds of various Northern-based trees from around the world. Research forests planted by The University of Tokyo in 1899 (Meiji 32), whilst defending from deforestation and making some wood used for materials. The surface area is about 23000 Ha, although part of it is being used as a sanctuary for the native Black Woodpecker and various other animals. *Materials museum tours or walks around the forest need to be reserved prior to going to the forest.
