- Deborah's memory of Oze
This week, "journeys in japan" visits Oze - a highland marshland at about 1,400 meters above sea level. The area attracts about 300-thousand visitors a year, many of them hikers. They come to see the rich flora. About 1,500 plant types are found here, including rare alpine flowers. And the delicate ecosystem is well protected. Malaysia-native Deborah walks through the gorgeous marshland, which is teeming with life in summer.
