About the Japanese Common Toad
The Japanese common toad is a stout, warty large frog that lives in woods and grassland and gathers at water in early spring to breed, laying eggs in long strings. At Kishi in Yamakita, Kanagawa, many gather each year to spawn, and the gathering site is designated a Natural Monument.
