Kochi Prefecture, home to Japan’s largest forested area.
Kochi is characterized by steep mountains, abundant rainfall, and long hours of sunlight, creating an environment where nature remains largely untouched by human hands. As a result, the region boasts ideal soil and water conditions for organic cultivation.
The pristine air created by a uniquely favorable landscape
Winds from the Sea of Japan travel over a mountain range on the main island of Japan. As they cross, these winds drop rain and snow, becoming cleaner in the process. After picking up more moisture over a sea between Japan’s mainland and Kochi, they reach Kochi’s mountains, where they’re purified even further. This process creates very clean, clear air.Because Kochi also gets strong sunlight even in winter, plants can grow quickly and thrive.
