Shirakami Sanchi Poem by Ahmad Shiddiqi

Mountainous range
Primeval beech forest
Rugged landscape
Gorges gouged

Tumbling, cascading streams
Countless millennia
Shady valleys
Spectacular waterfalls

Mase Valey
Anmon Falls
Daira-kyo Gorge

Irresistible magnet
Dedicated anglers
Enthusiastic trekkers

Rare animals, dormouse
Black woodpecker
Golden eagle

Nihon Kamoshika
Serow goat anelope
Nihon Zaru, Japanese Monkey

Rivers run deep
From snow melt
Fall colors in valleys

Lofty bridge
Gorgeous views
Breathtakingly beautiful

Walking promenade
Full-fledged climbing
The good hiking

Straddling between
Aomori and Akita
Height of 1,000 meters more

Unique flora and fauna
Secluded region
Northern Honshu

Shirakami-dake
Tengu-dake
Precious wilderness
