The northern hilly area is covered with alpine plants while the central and the western lowlands are covered with broad-leaved deciduous vegetation. Along the southern coast and the offshore islands of Chejudo and Ullungdo one can catch up with warm-temperate plants. Several evergreen plants are even found along the
southern regions of Japan.
Watch out for fauna species like Amur goral, Manchurian weasel, roe deer, brown bear, tiger, lynx, deer, northern pika, water shrew, muskrat, pine grosbeak, Manchurian ring-necked pheasant, black grouse, hawk owl, and three-toed woodpecker that can be sighted easily. Some of the noteworthy wildlife that is preserved in the region due to their extinction is Kuroda's Sheldrake bird, Siberian Tiger, Magpie, the national bird of the region and Red Fox.
