Nature and Flora and Fauna of Inagi

We introduce the plants and animals that can be seen in Inagi through photo panels and lists. We display vegetation maps that show changes in the natural environment and photos of characteristic plants. The photo below is of Tamano Kan Aoi, a rare plant that mainly grows in forests and is found only in the Tama Hills and surrounding areas.

Insects Discovered in Inagi

We are introducing insects collected in Inagi. In Inagi City, which is blessed with diverse environments such as hilly woodlands, grasslands, rice fields, ponds and rivers, cultivated land, and urban areas, a vast variety of insects live in their suitable habitats. In areas where development has progressed, changes in the environment have led to the appearance of different species than before. We also exhibit rare specimens such as the national butterfly, the Purple Emperor, which has not been seen recently.
