Encounter a miraculous scene on the flower island of Rebun.
Rebun Island, a long, narrow island measuring approximately 26 km from north to south and 8 km from east to west, is a rare place where about 300 species of alpine plants, which on the mainland only grow at altitudes of 2000 meters or higher, can be seen right at sea level. The sight that can be seen after the harsh winter is truly inspiring, conveying the powerful force of life.
