Mountain Day in Japan is a national holiday that encourages people to appreciate mountains and the blessings they bring. As much of Japan is mountainous, the day invites reflection on nature, outdoor recreation, environmental care and the cultural importance of mountains in Japanese life.

Event Suggestions:
• Creating nature-inspired art or displays about Japan’s mountains
• Discussing the role of mountains in Japanese culture, recreation and spirituality
• Planning a safe nature walk or environmental care activity focused on appreciation for landscapes
