We can hear the roar of deer and the chirps of birds (such as the Japanese nightingales).

This recording signify the soundscape of Japan's forest. This forest is called Kasugayama Primeval Forest, and has been protected as a sacred area of ​​Kasuga Taisha Shrine since ancient times. In the quiet and sacred atmosphere, we can hear the threatening roars of the deer, which are believed to be messengers of the gods at Kasuga Taisha Shrine.

And, this place is near my alma mater. I recorded this when I visited there about 10 years after I graduated. For me, it is a nostalgic soundscape.
