Japanese larch (Larix kaempferi)
A deciduous conifer native to the central Japanese mountains, distinctive for being one of the few Japanese conifers whose needles turn yellow and fall in autumn.
Also written 落葉松 (literally "falling-leaf pine"), which reflects the fact that — unlike most conifers — the karamatsu sheds its needles each autumn. Widely planted in Hokkaido and central Honshu for timber.
